#amphitere kin

[officially-other]

Intro post

Hello! My name is Frog. Don't ask me why I'm not frogkin, but my name is Frog, I don't know. /silly

If you're coming from my main blog:

Yup, this is the "super secret" otherkin account of @tadpoles-and-daydreams. I decided to make a separate account and blog for dragonkin and dragon work rambles, since... well, to be honest I just wanted to separate my blog for witchcraft writing, tarot, etc. from this. This is a more personal blog in which I'll really be getting into heavy UPG, dragon work, and what the hell does it look/feel like finding out your soul is draconic anyway?

And just in case: if you're coming from my main blog and are unfamiliar with any of the shit I'm talking about here in terms of otherkinity, dragonkin, being a dragon- please feel free to send in asks. I plan on writing more in-depth in a bigger post about what it is, what it's like, how I found out about it, etc. etc. but that will take a lot of time and energy that I currently don't have. Further down, though, I give the best TL;DR I can!

If you have no clue what the fuck the main blog is:

I talk about my experiences as a witch and meme about the funny side of witchcraft over there. Go there and check out my tarot readings if you want a dragon to throw some cards at you, or if you want to hear more about my craft outside of dragon work! I write a lot as a witch over there so if you like my witchy posts here, it's worth checking out.

My special interests include: Writing, Genshin Impact (I don't associate with most of the fandom they scare me), music, anime, the ocean, and "weird miscellaneous facts."

Dragonkin, specifically an amphitere.

local funny little witch man, I work with primarily with my deities and dragons and get bullied by a deck of cards a lot.

My familiar- though I hesitate to use that word due to its connotations as an "assistant" rather than a partner in my practice- is the one who kickstarted this by implying my energies were draconic in nature.

For everyone, regardless of how you found me:

This is where I plan to blog about my experiences when it comes to working with dragons, and fucking being one apparently. I want a safe space to write about my experiences, no matter how much I change. I feel like I've only dipped my toes into a vast ocean, a whole new aspect of my identity and my craft. I decided that I wanted to be able to write completely transparently about it- fears, mistakes, flaws and all- without it reflecting majorly on my main blog/my professionalism as a tarot reader who's just starting out.

So expect it all; the funny, the cool as fuck, the ranty posts, everything. This is just as much a tumblr blog as it is a journal, for me. I heavily value transparency, and that's something I can't be in public as an otherkin.

So I'll do it here instead. ^-^

Hello! I've stumbled upon your blog while looking through the amphitere Tumblr tag. I'm brand new to this so sorry if this is impolite in some way- I'm also a spiritual otherkin who's very recently awakened, and being an amphitere would make... A SCARY amount of sense. Do you happen to have anything you've found on them, or is it primarily your own experiences you work off of? I've been trying to find any information at all, but Google is seriously letting me down in that regard.

Hello! You cannot fathom how much joy receiving this ask has given me.

I will answer for Tigris, as they're currently not fronting.

They worked primarily with their own experiences, and when they concluded that their draconic form went into the direction of an amphitere, they consumed everything they came across regarding it.

Of what I know, the Quetzalcoatl is often decpicted as an amphitere; he's a god of the Aztec culture. Most of our information we found on Wikipedia, which describes him as a feathered serpent. He's the most known amphitere, and you'll most likely find lots of information on him.

There's also the amphitere as a design piece for armory, but that's infrequent.

Other than that, amphiteres aren't really found in mythology?

There's not a lot known about them, so Tigris decided that since they felt draconic and their shifts lined up with no legs, one tail and two wings, they'd adopt the label fo amphitere.

I'm sincerely sorry that you essentially got no answers, but you're utmost welcome to shoot us an ask or DM whenever about whatever, we never thought we'd see the day where we meet someone who's kinsidering being an amphitere <3

Good luck!

What's your favorite dragon?

WAIT holy shit I never posted this

HEY YEAH BY THE WAY I used flight rising's predict morphology thing to try and make what I look like. I sort of just went through it intuitively, since i didn't have much more than a vague shape and color, and I swear to you I got emotional the more things began to click.

And by the end, I was looking at... basically me. I think I only have one pair of wings, so maybe take the second pair away or turn them into fins. Add antlers and take away the feathers around the head, probably elongate the snoot a little, I think take away the little clawed wings, and there ya go that's me.

tbh the white patterns are specifically, I think, meant to look watery so I'm not sure that it's like... A solid pattern. I think it's meant to ripple and reflect like the surface of water. I don't think my form IS water, but I think it looks like it quite a bit.

Today I just realized something and the irony of it is not lost on me. I am an aquatic dragon. In this lifetime, though, I just so happen to also be chronically dehydrated.

I hate it here /j

[officially-other]

HOLY SHIT fish inside a birdcage hits DIFFERENT as a dragonkin who works with dragons. Especially an aquatic dragon. Who gave them the right to call me out like that.

I feel this song in my bones, whoops, guess I'm stealing it from the characters I associate it with-

A short introduction for those from my main blog who would be interested in this one

I spent hours writing this post. These feelings are hard to articulate, something soul-deep that I know I’ve barely stepped into. The length of this post doesn’t reflect that, but believe me; I edited and re-edited so many times. Then, I realized as I was writing this post that I was no longer writing about my feelings on being a dragon and working with them, I was writing a post trying to justify and explain it. So let’s start again.

Hi. Most people who see this will be seeing it on my main blog, @tadpoles-and-daydreams. This is a blog built more around UPG, personal identity, and dragon work than my main one. This is… sort of an intro post. Not to me, you already know me- but to this part of me.

On my main blog, I don’t talk about my familiar. Here, I’ll refer to them as… well, admittedly the only current name I have for them. “Friend.” I’ll make another post about them and how we met sometime. They showed up in my life, told me I need to value my inner child essentially, and then promptly stepped back. I didn’t talk to them for weeks. I felt bad. I was talking with my deities and doing other things, but Friend- and the other dragon who works with my family as a whole- just completely weren’t a part of my craft. For Friend this was new, but I’ve been intending and intending to work with the other dragon I know for most of my practice. I’d always wanted to work with dragons, but just… never had.

Now I know why; because it feels like home. I wasn’t ready to go home.

“Home,” in this case, is a part of my identity that I’ve kept hidden even from myself. Home looks like wings of fins and feathers, swimming through the water or air, being one with the sea and protecting every creature within it like your own kin because they are. Home, to me, is learning about what my soul truly is; a dragon. I’m in a human body, yes. Whatever your beliefs are around life, mine are that I’ve chosen to incarnate as a human in this lifetime for whatever reason. It doesn’t change what my soul is, in its truest form, and it hasn’t changed no matter how much I tried.

I have repressed this long and hard. I’m a high-masking autistic, and I learned very quickly in my childhood that there are right and wrong ways to be. I was never, ever, the right way to be. I never will be, either; not in the eyes of most people. The “right” way to be certainly doesn’t involve being a dragon.

So I’m going to be “wrong,” as enthusiastically and loudly as possible, on this little corner of the internet. I’m finally coming home; to myself, and to my dragons. We have one hell of a journey ahead.

A longer post because there were some fun dragon things today

I'll be posting the other half (which actually happened first, chronologically) on my other account, but this is the part that I feel like writing out first. Obligatory UPG disclaimer, this is a personal experience so it has no basis in anything other than my own beliefs!

So! Crash course in how I believe reincarnation works for context: I believe that I- and everyone else- have what one would call a "higher self." Think of this like a lake, and each individual incarnation is a little whirlpool. Still part of the overall lake, but it's an individual at the same time. Or, I suppose, you could view it as a cake with pieces or whatever other metaphor you can think of- point is, my soul is whole but I am not all there is to me. My higher self is more aware, and not stuck in a physical body like I am.

My mother works very closely with her higher self. I... somehow just never saw that as an option for me. When I realized I was dragonkin, I immediately knew why; big huge dragon + little tiny human who's easily intimidated and doesn't know that they're a dragon yet = bad time. After I realized that, I decided that when I had the time I wanted to sort of say hello. Today I finally got the chance to meditate and have a chat.

I've understood my Amphitere nature is the draconic form that, in this lifetime, is likely the form it'd be most useful to know of and relate myself to. Not my truest form, but the one that will FEEL truest in this lifetime. So I knew higher self wasn't gonna look like that.

He is... fucking huge. I expected that, but it was still surprising. I couldn't get a good clear image of the body plan or anything, but he had feathered wings. The thing was; he was gold. I asked if he was actually gold, because that would mean that me and my mom separately picked up on that, and the following conversation ensued:

"Wait, so are you really gold?" "Yes.... sort of?" "WAIT OH MY GOD ARE YOU SHRIMP COLORS?????"

He laughed and said yes. I asked in the first place because it was something I just suddenly knew intuitively; gold is really the closest in energy that a human can perceive, but if I had a wider spectrum of color available to me he wouldn't look the same.

After some chatting I asked if he could help me connect us a little better, because I just... have a hard time looking at this massive fucking dragon and going "you're me, but big! :D" like no that's a dragon. Who am I to claim that that's me. Wtf. And after a moment, I just... sort of felt these massive fucking wings?? not my blue ones, but HIS wings. On my back. The full wingspan of them wouldn't even fit in my fucking room, it was wild.

Also, Loki and I have worked together WAY LONGER THAN I THOUGHT???? I asked higher self if he had worked with Loki, not as me, but as him and he and Loki looked at each other like they were in on some joke and I wasn't. I shit you not, he just sort of...

"Not... all lifetimes, just most of them-" LIKE THAT'S WAY MORE THEN A DOZEN, WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME THAT???

Anyway the punchline of this was the "shrimp colors" I just wanted to put the rest of that so I remembered, I fucking cannot deal with how weird my practice is getting over here XD

Shifts- spiritual dragonkin

I do not have a clue on what I am going to say, nor how I will phrase it, but this community thrives on having discussions and essays about ones kinself, so I think I'll add to it.

I'm a dragon. More specifically an amphitere.

In the beginning, I thought I was a mermaid- the feeling for my legs fell out of the picture and instead they kind of fused when I had a shift. At times I will feel a tail very strongly, but it won't align with my legs (which aren't numb, but my brain will kind of skip over them in a mental map).

Confusing my draconity for being a mermaid set me back a bit, but I figured that my deep connection to them and my wish to be one stems from having had a relationship towards them in my past life, most likely as a pet.

Then I began feeling my horns more, as well as my wings.

My fingers stretch, my wings go along my arms. The first two to three digits (thumb to middle finger) are claws and aren't webbed. I tend to hold them kind of crooked during shifts. The rest unite to a winged membranewith eye spots.

My neck and my body should be long, more serpentine like? To gently wrap around things (an instinct I had since childhood).

My snout is kind of beak-like, my color is green and fading to dark blue. I have feathers on my neck and chest- tan with black eye spots. They are important for mate selection, if I have gleaned from my neomata correctly.

Fin-like ridges go across my neck to my tail, and on my belly to tail fin.

I think that the first few years as a young dragon are spent as a wild creature, eating fish and generally focusing on growing.

With age comes sentience- and the ability to eat krill like a whale. I think colors change as well, from greenish blue to dark blue. Some individuals become poisonous, if I am right.

We weave magic from songs and are respected story-tellers among mermaids. Each mermaid pod would try and keep an dragon to help with hunting and protection, as well as powerful magic.

Something that I am unsure about is that my species gained more limbs with age, as I occasionally feel more wings or even some legs, but that is really out there at the moment.

Most of my neomata regard colors and mating, latter of which I'm unsure on expanding.

Anyways, thank you for reading.

So that is what you will probably see most of here.

I have a keen eye for aesthetics, so I'll occasionally reblog pictures or things that remind me of my kintype just because I think they're pretty.

Feel free to talk to me.

I don't really have a DNI (except terfs, racists, homophobes, etc.), but I'll block anyone I do not like.

If you need a specific triggerwarning, lmk.

Probs some occasional nudity or nsft things, will be tagged accordingly. (Nsft; nsft ish)

Update:

So, turns out we are a system. We're hesitant to share everything, but as it affects our relationship to our otherkin identity, we'll occasionally talk about it.
