Shifting Types

I have been awake as a therian for over 20 years. I have a long history of experiences as being otherkin, and I think that after all this time, after all these experiences, I may have some wisdom to impart in others.

These are the main shifts that I have experienced and seen other therians experience. I'll write a guide on how to strengthen your connection to your shifts as well as how to trigger and control shifts later.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dream Shift

Dream shifts are some of the most intense shifts that are possible for a therian/kin, and are personally my favorite type of shift. During a dream shift, a person lives through their dream as their kintype instead of as a human. It is possible to deliberately shapeshift into your kintype during a lucid dream. It is possible to be an animal for the entire dream or to change back and forth between forms.

Mental Shift

Mental shifting, or mshifting, refers to the experience of someone's mind shifting to their nonhuman kintype. They think differently in this state - more similar to their kintype. They may experience the desire to hunt as their theriotype does, or roll around and play (or otherwise move) like their kintype. Their identity may feel strongly altered and vividly nonhuman without any other accompanying changes in thought process.

A subcategory of mental shifting is sensory shifting. In a sensory shift, one's senses become sharper or more similar to what their animal senses would be. For example, a dog therian may begin processing the world with scent and sound over vision, as well as experience an intensification of their senses, during a sensory shift.

Reality Shift

When a therian feels as though they are in the world of their kintype. They may vividly see it inside of their imagination during these shifts, or just feel the presence of their world.

Shadow Shift

This is similar to imposition in tulpamancy. In a shadow shift, the mind projects your form into the physical world (although it is just a perception, it is not actually there.) This can occur naturally or a therian can learn imposition to strengthen or engender this type of shift.

Spiritual Shift

This is when you shift for a reason related to spirituality. Your aura/spirit may intermittently shift to animal form.

It is possible to construct and conduct rituals to provoke shifts, which is also another form of spiritual shifting. Mixing your theriotype with a variety of spiritual practices can lead to shifting that takes the form of spiritual processes and experiences.

Astral shifts are similar to dream shifts except they take place outside the mind in the astral plane, and this plane connects to the spirit world and things outside the mind (unlike dream shifts.) The astral realm is entered through the change of states between waking and sleeping wherein you have the experience of waking up after losing consciousness and leaving your body. Lucid dreams feel similar but you do not leave the body in a dream and are not as connected to the spirit world (although we are always connected to some extent to the spirit world even when awake) like in astral projection.

Bilocation Shift

This is when you are still existing as human in one place but are also existing as your kintype, often in the astral or inside the mind's eye. Your nonhuman self is often leading a separate and meaningful existence during these times, which you perceive alongside your regular human daily life. You are both human and shifted into your kintype simultaneously during this shift.

Cameo Shift

Shifting not associated with a regular kintype. One-off shifting. Often related to being a gateway or being an astral shapeshifter.

Contherians

A therian who is always to some degree chronically shifted into their kintype.

Coconscious Shift

When someone is a multiple system, some or all of their alters may be nonhuman. Coconscious shifts occur when a human identity is co-present at the same time as a nonhuman identity. The nonhuman identity's experiences my bleed over into the nonhuman identity's perceptions.

Physical Shift

Pshifting is when one physically transforms into their kintype. This one is the coolest of the shifts and, tragically, the only one that is not physically possible. There are guides as well as people who claim they can teach this - they are lying. No one has ever been able to do it.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Something I wrote the other night (Aug. 8, 2022)

[foolin-hoolagin]

let me pretend it's autumn again grey skies, clouds and rain all the pitter patter, flitter flutter of raindrops, and then the leaves

the leaning into winter... the cosy, the comfort the slowing down of hearts and homes the freezing, the wonder

I have this weird issue where I can't make connections with people, and people I know all feel out of place, almost like imposters. It's a background feeling, not too severe. Then I also keep seeing random and creepy faces in darker areas that scare the hell out of me :') But! I thought of this cute scenario while trying to comfort myself-- also if anyone knows what this issue is/is called, please tell me.

"Dove, please look up at me?" Kazuha spoke sweetly, softly as to not disturb you while you lay in his lap, arms tightly clung around his torso and your face buried in his chest. His right hand glided up and down your back while the other rested behind him, supporting the both of your weight.

"I...can't." Came your muttered reply, too afraid to look back up at him and see what would greet you. A warped, mangled version of your lover's face? A face that didn't belong to him? Eyes that deceived and smiles that taunted? The thought alone was horrifying enough, sending cold chills down your spine. He hummed, shifting his weight until his left hand was free.

He offered you his hand, watching when you didn't lift your gaze but allowed it to linger on his palm. "How do you remember my hand?"

Confused, you hesitantly answered. "It...feels smooth, but also calloused. And uh...you have a mole on the inside of your left palm, I think?" Your eyes scanned over his skin, finding comfort in the feel of his skin as it matched your description perfectly; and on the inside of his palm, you found the little mole that lay upon the heart line of his hand.

"Now, can you look further up? How do you remember my shoulders and neck?" He carried on, tone sweeter than honey, and he smiled at the way you cautiously looked upwards.

"...Just like this, it looks the same." Your fingers trailed along his scarf and the comforting feel of his clothing. Kazuha inwardly cheered when you smiled lightly in relief, and almost excitement.

"Can you look at my face now? I can cover my face with my hands so you can look at it little by little?" You nodded, leaning back with your eyes closed until his hands covered his face. Tentatively, you lifted his right hand slowly over his chin and mouth, giggling lightly at the tender smile that greeted you. Further upwards, your shoulders sank in relief at the way his nose twitched, just how you remembered. Lastly, his eyes and eyebrows. Beautiful, vibrant, and kind eyes stared up at you like you hung the stars and carried the world upon your back; pure awe and adoration swirled in bright scarlet colors.

"See? There's nothing to be scared of, I promise."

you ask me if i’ll still carry your groceries, and you mean it as a joke but the answer is still yes. i’ll always carry your groceries. even when i’m tired, even when you don’t want me to (especially then), even when the groceries in question is a single pack of gum. i’ll always carry your groceries not because i know you can’t, but because i’ll never see the point in you having to carry your groceries if i’m around — you should never need to bear a load if i’m there to lift it.

so yes, i’ll carry your groceries, i’ll give you my jacket when you’re cold, i’ll switch shoes with you and wear your uncomfortable heels when you’ve been in them for hours. As long as you’ll let me.
