I wanna give myself wing scars and cut slits in the backs of all my shirts and I want people to ask questions so I can tell them that I'm an angel but lost my wings and that god is not a nice entity

I just saw another post about it so I'm going to talk about it.

If you think people need to tag hunting urges and tag photos of animals hunting their food, you need to go touch grass. I am being so serious. Preferably grass that's next to a carcass.

Do you go hiking, see the rare natural event of a hunt taking place in front of you, and try to ask the predator for a trigger warning first? Do you go on nature photography websites and ask those creators to censor their posts? Do you email National Geographic daily to try to get them to tag all of their articles that have to do with animal death?

Please, for the love of god, some of you need to get offline or learn what a block button is. Don't like that someone posts about their hunting urges? Block their account. You do not get to tell someone to trigger tag their experiences because you refuse to be a grown up.

I completely understand why the kin community discourages kin as a verb (ex. "Kinning a species") but am I the only one who prefers it for myself?

i feel like we are way too aggressive with stereotyping. you'll get attacked if you are one, and attacked if you aren't.

i hate the posts that go "wait! no! we aren't all gremlincore wolf slash fox therians! fuck you! i hate you! that stereotype isn't real! nobody is a gremlincore wolf slash fox!"

because as much as there isn't, there IS!

and i'm okay with people complaining that the community is too canine-centric, that's true, and i'm also okay with people making communities for non-canine therians.

but it eventually gets to the point we are being aggressive towards them. as much as you see them, that doesn't mean they aren't "real" therians. that doesn't mean they don't exist. you're allowed to be sick, you're allowed to be tired but you're not allowed to be hostile for no real reason!

Demonkin here. I sometimes get rlly frustrated when people don't cower in fear before me, I'll growl at them or glare at them and they just don't respond and it really bugs me. People are supposed to be afraid of me when I'm being scary! And when I bring it up everyone is like "aww dont worry about it" and they treat me like a child. I am SICK OF IT.

realising how canine i am every day :3 we are so back (guy who’s been growling at his food. because he was hungry)

Heads up! There's a couple of potentially triggering confessions i have queued

They are hopefully tagged well enough, they are tagged with tw SH and tw sui if you require a tw for those! We did include the full word tag for the second one also and tw SH ment and TW sui ment.

🌌

[otherkin-confessional]

14 in the queue, a few to address /ensure are correctly tagged before posting and then i'll pop those up too.

sorry if this isn’t the place for it but I’m questioning whether or not I’m otherkin or fickin but I’m very confused by myself….. I’ll be as vague as possible and say that I think I kin a character who’s also otherkin, which would make me like, layers of kin with me in the outer layer and my kin’s kintype on the inner layer.. or maybe both her kintype and her are me at once. it’s a weird situation to be in, especially as someone who is new to the community.. i’ve spent time lurking here but i didn’t consider myself any form of kin until recently., so yeah i’m completely new to all this

feel free to delete if this goes against the no fickin discussion rule, it’s just that i think it’s tied in with me questioning being otherkin with a species and it’s hard for me to separate.. but i understand if this isn’t the place for it, and i feel like i’m being vague enough about the character. idk

The urge to just soft quit the therian/alterhuman community is getting stronger the older I get. Like, I still want to lurk, see what happens, but without posting anymore. Though, I also kind of want to fully quit and pretend the community doesn't even exist and just live my life like I'm the only nonhuman-identifying person out there. Another part of me wants to do the opposite though, and start posting more and become a face in the community again. I'm at this weird point where I don't want to post or even see the discourse going on ever again, but I also want to share my own views and try to help in my own way, but if I do that, I could give one "wrong" opinion and get chased offline, which is the last thing I want. I'm pretty much unsure if I want to leave the community now on my own terms or if I want to stick around and risk being forced out eventually.

not otherkin however I past a post straight up lying about who was experiencing the thing I described, that thing being “never being able to find accounts of other otherhearted people’s experiences” “a feeling of their being a certain ‘hierarchy’ of labels in the alterhuman community (talked about a lot I know)” and “being outside otherhearted experiences and closer to otherkinnity but not necessarily identifying as their ‘type and therefore having to get shoved into the otherhearted legal as that’s the most comfortable”

while yeah it’s fine to keep your identities private the urge to just say that I lied and it was actually me experiencing those things is a strong one

Plain text: dollkin culture is being SO tired of everyone treating your identity like an aesthetic. whenever i go in the dollkin tags, its ALWAYS dollcore. im not looking for that. i dont WANT to see aesthetic pictures that have NOTHING to do with dolls or PICTURES of dolls. i want to interact with beings who, like me, are objects, its like theres NO community here! all the transition tips for us just talk about fashion and aesthetics and makeup instead of tips on how to ACTUALLY transition! people keep crosstagging posts that have nothing to do with being a doll! this is an issue in general with people treating nonhumanity as a theme for moodboards and stimboards and stuff but it seems like its WAY worse for us and im so TIRED of this! (>_<)

(also btw one thing ive found helps is laying down and trying to stay as still as you can and maybe even try to stop thinking while you do it. makes me feel like an object at least. its also sort of like turning your brain off and on again.)

im robotkin but i dont really talk about it considering how weird some of the anti-generative ai movement gets (seriously theyre making "slurs for ai bros" that are just thinly veiled racial slurs, saw one for the anti-hispanic w slur)

[otherkin-confessional]

"optics" robot anon here again! typing in blue feels very affirming. i originally had a really long-winded ramble for the following confession but i didn't like it, so, abridged version:

it's very surreal (but admittedly funny) to see those tiktok skits about that whole "robophobia" joke. "i don't want to see my daughter with no clanker" type stuff. of course, the real moral of that whole thing is that us machines are very dateable. xoxo
