being otherkin or therian isn't always having these crazy flashbacks, backstories, dreams or shifting. Sometimes you just are

[cosmicvisitor]

while you're here on this earth? make the most of it. catch those fireflies. drink that beer as you watch the sunset. watch the rain. write poetry about being caught in this human form for just a little while. watch the stars. remember: you ARE the stars.

nothing hits like the therian + otherkin friendship. like, you’re different but you GET me.

you’re missing your wings and i’m missing my paws but at least we’re missing them together.

[whimsivamp]

No hate to therians, especially not canine kin, but when I open up the alterhuman/nonhuman tags, I wish there was more than just animal kin, y'know?

You guys already have a word, you guys are animals and therians, but the word "supernatural" is taken by one of the biggest tumblr fandoms and it's so hard to find my people that way.

I want to interact with more vampires, fae folk, mermaids, zombies, angels, demons, devils, haunted spirits, etc. Even robots and dolls! Where are you at??? I need you.

guidelines for minors in the therian/otherkin community:

predators are everywhere, including within this subculture. block. report. tell an adult you trust if you feel unsafe.

p-shifters are individuals who claim they can physically transform into their kintype. they're lying. they want attention. power. control. block them and spread the word.

it's okay to change your kintype. we're just glad you're figuring yourself out. we don't think you're faking.

"kin" is a noun, not a verb. you are kin. you are not "kinning."

it's okay to have fun in this community. it's okay to take yourself seriously, too. if someone doesn't like your self-expression? block them.

don't feed the trolls. they want to suck you in. laugh at you. hurt you. don't take the bait and remember: the block button is your friend.

some people believe their identity to be spiritual. sometimes it's psychological. respect both.

if your identity is causing serious distress, to the point that it's affecting your daily life, seek professional help. and if you ever feel like hurting yourself, help is just a phone call away.

"Changelings were probably used as a way to explain why some kids are autistic" this is true, but it was never just autism. Cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, Hunter syndrome and many more were explained using changelings. It's not all just autistic people.

[canine-brained]

Okay I'm really curious about this...

Alterhumans with magical kintypes!!

What supernatural powers do you possess? 💫🌟🪐🪄

My soul kintype can use telekinesis, has regeneration powers and is basically a seer :3

POV: u have gender dysphoria AND species dysphoria

[purrsongs]

games w. species euphoria

please don't spoil any of the games with stories in the replies or reblogs!

Ori and the Blind Forest - felinekin, maybe some kind of fae or angel kin too ori is very good little creature design and it moves around so fluidly but there's zero customization, if you vibe with ori it's great and if you don't, might not be for you. it's a puzzle platformer similar gameplay-wise to hollow knight (but not as difficult)

Hollow Knight - bugkin, ghostkin, voidkin difficult but very pretty and atmospheric. i've played some of it before getting stuck/being unable to progress because i'm not good at video game. hard platformer with boss fights.

Stray - robotkin, catkin this is one i've been meaning to play for ages (and haven't gotten around to pirating yet, cough) Stray is a 3d game set in a cyberpunk/sci fi world. You play as a tabby cat trying to find its way back to its home and it looks stunning. I assume the story is great, too.

Roblox Creatures of Sonaria - there are so many creature designs there you're bound to find something that's youcore their colors can be customized. It's a multiplayer survival game so it's more stressful than the other games on this list, you gotta be trying not to die the whole time

Animal Jam Classic / Animal Jam Play Wild - lots of real world animals you can dress up and change the colors and patterns of your animals. ajc is in 2d and ajpw is in 3d and has more animal options, but i find ajpw really confusing personally.

William and Sly/William and Sly 2 - foxkin old flash games available as a set on steam, a quest platformer where you run around a pretty forest environment as a red fox and find various things. the music is lovely, both games have a great atmosphere, played it a ton as kid on armor games. i dont think i ever even finished either game i just loved running around as sly (in the second game there are also little kitten-fairies that you can collect and that follow you around)

Postmouse - mousekin free on steam, 3d puzzle platformer where you're a mouse that delivers letters. it can get a little obtuse and confusing at times which is why i never finished it, but it's very charming and free to play! you run around all these huge and pretty environments as a fancy-dressed little mouse .

Lost Dream 1 and 2 - foxkin abstract/stylized/polygonal walking simulator where you play as a red fox. doesn't seem to be much story and the reviews are mixed because walking sims like this need to be like, your cup of tea.

Spyro Reignited - dragonkin of course had to mention such an OG dragon game. never played it but like, it's spyro. cartoony 3d platformer in a fantasy environment.

Oneshot - catkin pixel rpg where you play as a cat child and the gimmick is that you only have one life. the steam page tags it as story rich and having multiple endings/story choices you can make, and the graphics are beautiful, the whole game seems to be made of dark colors and poppy accents

Honorable Mentions:

Way to the Woods - an in-development 3d game where you play as a deer and fawn exploring different enviroments.

The Isle - an early access survival MMO where you play as a dinosaur and try to stay alive.

feel free to add more in reblogs, i know i'm missing a lot of classics but i'm getting tired

[kyrpaws]

don't let your human form get you down. You have deep forests and infinite heavens and rushing waters within your soul. You run with wolves and fly high with angels. You may be bound to this body, but you can still run wild like feral animals, you can feel the wind in your hair like the flight of winged beings, you can dwell waters like marine animals.

You are free.

[cosmicvisitor]

i wonder if you could induce shifts just by creating a safe space that reminds you of your kintype. if you're surrounded by photos that look like home, if you're listening to music related to your kintype - could you condition yourself to shift?

[hiraeth-daydreams]

Mama nature made me a city boy because she knew i'd be off the census in less than a week around her

I see a small field or a single patch of grass and be sticking my head inside every hollow trunk I can find to search for mushrooms or cool bugs if I had access to a forest you'd never see my living ass again

Can we stop judging ND people (especially autistic peeps) who reclaim the words fairy, fae or changeling?? We don’t judge other autistics for reclaiming aliens or robots, why are y’all judging us for reclaiming fairies or changelings??
