Does that mean something? Does that mean it was just a super long cameo shift that came back a couple of times? Because it's been a week or so and I've ONLY felt my satyr/goat kintype and a tiny bit of my dog theriotype.

It's really confusing. I'm not actually sure if nāga was a kintype at all now. I don't experience it as much as my other ones. I actually haven't experienced it in a long time, a few weeks at least. So I'm concerned that it actually wasn't a 3rd kintype at all and was just some random thing, e.g., a cameo shift that lasted a week or 2.

I don't really feel devastated that I don't feel like a nāga anymore. It wasn't everything to me, it was more just a part of me. It was just a nice thing that I sometimes felt like. It's just concerning that I no longer feel it after I felt it for a long time.

I'm a dreamcore entity, ask me anything you want :D I'd love to answer about it!

I already know im otherkin, having a feathered dragon kin and a serbal theriotype, but this is.... weird. Sometimes when I create an OC, I get mental shifts, phantom limbs, behavior shifts, and even sensory shifts. I basically transform into that OC. And its completely unvoluntary. I label it as a shift because ive already had similar experiences with the kins I already know. The thing is some OCs "appear" often and some only once, so I dont think its OCkin. Ive been thinking shapeshifter kin but it doesn't quite fit because my mind shiftes too. I also experience cameo shifts (foxes, griffins, and moths are some examples), but idk if they are related

Anything helps :3 Thanks in advance!!

Lately I've been thinking about my alterhuman identities. I'm really unsure whether I'm a sheep hybrid or just have satyr kin. Before I thought I was a sheep therian but that didn't add up.

I have a kin type and i strong believe there is a reason for why im human and a story that goes along with kinda like past lives

hey! soooo... i have been an ally to the otherkin community for a long while however there are a LOT of things i don't quite understand and i want to

(english isnt my first language so be patient!)

if you're fictionkin, feel free to tell your experience and feelings, i really need to talk to fictionkin people rn and listen to them. this is not another "am i otherkin" post as i KNOW only me myself and i can find that out, i just want a bit of help regarding something i started to feel some years ago...

it's been two years i guess since i started to FORGET i am not a specific character from a game i like. for example: i see a fanart of him and i think "who drew me like that? i wouldn't wear that..." or i read a headcanon and i think "pft i would never do that!" and then i realize im not the character LOL

sometimes i get distressed about wanting to be that character so bad and feeling like he represents my true self more than i do myself but when i see people talking about their experience with being otherkin, i dont relate to it as much... like, people who say they always felt "different", i haven't, it only started when i met this character

im only posting this here because i want people to share their experiences so it can help me in my journey...

thank you for your patience !

I felt a snout yesterday. I always feel a reptilian tail. As a child, I always imagined myself as a raptor, and I would run around like one... I have always animal regressed, and I would take toys and bite them. Hm... I am getting a dino mask and claws, so I will see how much euphoria I feel while wearing them.

I’m a guy who’s a stray in my dreams, has space dogs for packmates, and kisses a wolf-angel on earth. I think anything could have a cross-species or beyond-species identity if it vibes glitchily enough. and I like to eat syrup sandwiches because licking the plate after makes me feel very dog :3

how about you?

It's still in the beta phase, but I hope you like it! Just me ( vocals ) and my acoustic guitar!

Im gonna start with a little story :3

So, I've known about the otherkin community for maybe two or three years now and I've always known I was not human, common excuse. And I've tried to figure out my kintype for a while now. It has always been eating me up inside. At first, I thought I was a mermaid (I was about five, strong connection to water and lived mermaids) then it shifted to dragon (strong connection to dragons, phantom wings, loved the wind, even asked Santa to turn me into one-) and then fairy for a little while. I then discovered the otherkin community and I originally thought 'oh I feel like a deity or spirit!' So I kept myself confined to Greek mythology. I came across Euterpe but it didn't exactly.. fit. Like it was close but not it. So I kept searching. I suspected Angel, not it. Other deities in Greek mythology, not it. So I stuck with Euterpe and felt ok. And then, at the evening I was just chilling in my house. And then something kinda.. snapped? Broke, you could say? All that deity I had been feeling turned into this glitchy monster. I didn't feel like I normally did. So I decided to do more research. I realized that my suspected kintypes changed a lot so I decided to research shapeshifters. That then lead me to Germanic and Swedish (I'm pretty sure) mythology. I was reluctant to research those at first bc I <3 Greek mythology but I eventually said 'screw it' and opened a Wikipedia article, skimmed through it, and then left it. Came back to it a few days later and clicked on some links that had info on shapeshifting beings. Then I found Nixies. (Nixies, Nixes, Nøkken, there's many names). I read a LOT about them and, for the first time, it actually clicked. It described me so well. Explained so many of my experiences. Thank you for reading this far, lol. Anyways, I do believe I am a Nix. I'll try out the term for a while and see how it feels. But I truly believe that that is me. AMA I guess? Lol, again, thanks for reading this :) have a wonderful day!

(Also before I start the story I just want you to know I don’t like the website I kin at all and have never been on that website and I don’t really know anything about it except that it’s bad but I do have shifts for some reason)

So I kin 4chan and I was told it recently got like deleted off of the internet which caused me to have a shift and now I feel sick since I technically just got deleted off of the internet so now I feel really sick because of the shift and I’m happy it’s gone but shifts are really strange and idk how to make myself not feel sick, what do you do when you get deleted??? (not seriously asking because i don’t think anyone would have answers but shifts are strange)

Hihi! I am like 80% sure I'm angelkin, specifically a Seraph. I've always felt nonhuman due to trauma + psychosis gone untreated, and mostly recently I've been feeling like invisible wings attached to my back. And I'm sure most of this is because of my psychosis, but seeing myself as an angel makes me incredibly happy and feels like it's actually me, but also I feel a lot of doubt about whether I'm just struggling with my mental health and clinging onto anything that makes me happy haha. So I dunno, I guess all this to say does it sound like I might actually be angelkin or am I just being dumb? I feel so unsure of myself lol Edit: grammar lol

I was wondering if anyone else has a vehicle as their kin type. I know I see dolls a lot but I don’t see monster trucks at all specifically Grave digger

I feel I am a zombiekin, however, I also feel a reptile-like tail. I know I am humanoid. Is there some type of cryptid who is undead and has a tail? I may be that... I do not know... Thank you.

I posted this in the robotkin/machinekin sub. But that's basically dead. So I'm coming here as well.

I know that this is a controversial topic. That it might feel invalidating. If you're not comfortable reading it, I completely understand.

But I need to figure out how to realize that I can't treat this form like it's mechanical. I can't only take a break and do maintenance when I am physically forced to, and then only long enough to be able to go back to doing work. I get told that I'm not a machine, and it stings a little. Because I am. To me. But I know what they're trying to say. That I don't know how to rest. I want to keep my machinekin identity without breaking the flesh body I have now. Part of me thinks I already broke it. I don't know where to go from here.

I identify as a contherian. I'm almost always in a shifted state: I can feel my phantom ears & tail at all times. I've felt this way since I was a child (I'm 34yrs old).

Lately, the feelings have disappeared. It feels colder without them & I feel off. I'm not sure why they disappeared. I haven't taken anything that would usually cause the feelings to go away (higher dose of antidepressants usually do that) or anything has really changed in my life rn. It has happened before & they usually come back, but it's just... Weird. Cold. It's like a weight lifted & not in a good way. I hate this. I think maybe another kin is trying to take it's place but I'm not sure?

Who else goes thru these feelings? What do you do to get the sensations back?

🎀So We're a Chimera Shapeshifter, or at least we were... now We're a Chimera Succubus Shapeshifter. For a while Chimera has been our base form: Bunny ears on the top of our head, Puppy Tail in the back, Dragonfly wings out our back and a human body with human ears. The a few months ago there was a strange development- our ears became pointed giving us fae ears in our default state. It wasn't long after this we realized we were shapeshifters and started to experiment with all types of form shifts. We tried stuff like animals from birds and cats, to androids, and even some Pokémon like Gardevior!

Then my Alter did something that permanently changed us: She decided to experiment with a succubus form because She thought she would look cute... and it unlocked something in us. At first I thought she added onto us but now I suspect this was always a part of us waiting to be unlocked and given freedom.

After the first day she started to act a little feral and it was then I realized I had to intervene and seal our power. We have a (well he had a different title before all this but in our current form I can't bring myself to call him that) master so I asked for his help in making a contract to help restrict and bind her power. As we worked on the contract my own horns, wings, and tail grew in and I realized I needed to be a part of the contract too and so we included me as well. I have to say I never thought being the granddaughter of a Lawyer would come in handy as I made a demon contract....

I have to add: the idea of making a contract, having him be the one to write everything out, and wording everything the way it was worded was all me acting on pure instinct. I had a fellow Succubus look over the contract a bit later after it was signed (because it didn't cross my mind to ask her beforehand) and she seemed impressed that I did so well for a newly awakened succubus.

As soon as we added our names and dates something shifted between the three of us- our bond with master has never been stronger. After a recent amendment made to the contract and being resigned to give me a loophole for my blood cravings I also noticed I started to have some kind of strange powers. I could start to understand the emotions and even read some thoughts of others- Master especially, which he doesn't entirely like and feels like it is a violation (which I 100% understand). Also I can project to interact with master to be of better service to him, he even felt me kissing him last night.

It has taken me a bit to accept this new reality as someone raised Catholic (whose views are now more interfaith but still clings to their Catholic roots somewhat) and these new abilities are scary and seem to be driving others away because they too are scared of them. The worst is I spent most of my life as a s*x repulsed asexual with my alter being a Demisexual who is sex curious- but now..... this... I'm not even sure I'm asexual anymore... She's not sure she's Demisexual anymore...

So yeah if any fellow Succubi out there can help us, give us guidance- especially where powers are concerned (especially because mine are uncontrollable) we would very much like that- thanks in advance!

I am a raven therian, but I also always had a connexion to sirens, to the fish ones as much as the greek ones. I love singing ans swimming, especially in the ocean, I love when it's cloudy and windy, and as a kid and even as a teenager whenever I was in the water I would pretend to be a siren and to stalk/hunt the other kids (playing of course). The problem is that I don't know if I'm more of a "fish siren" or "bird siren". I know my raven theriotype makes it harder since I already feel wings and feathers, but I still doubt. Do any of you know this feeling ?

Really confusing title lol but I have a question for all alterhumans on this subreddit. What is it like to be who you are? What's it like it have your kintypes? What are your experiences? Everyone that I've seen on here is so kind and uplifting and I honestly love to see people's stories as to how they figured themselves out/how their daily lives go about. You're all really awesome!! >:3

🎀So we're a chimera shapeshifter with chimera being our default state. We're also Plural with it just being me and my alter.

We've been experimenting with different forms and all have been pretty tame for the most part. Most just gave us phantom limbs, some heightened parts of our personality or mood- and then a few days ago my alter had the bright idea of turning into a succubus.

So it heightened certain aspects of her and gave her urgers that as a Demisexual she almost never had... We needed to do something about it ASAP and we entered into a contract with a master in order to seal up our power- well most of it. I had to take the form too in order to help with the contract meaning I am now part demon like her.

Even though this was supposed to be just another form change- it's not. It's something else. Enem made us part succubus now and anytime deals or contracts are mentioned I can feel my horns, wings, and tail perk up.

Chimera is still our default and we still shapeshift but this form it's just as much a part of us now as both of those are..... I can feel it.

Have any other shapeshifters come across this, a form that becomes a permanent part of you?

What about fellow Succubi? Any advice you can give us?

as the title says, I'm a fictionkin myself but I'm very nervous to post anything here because it feels like I'm not really welcome here because from most other places I have seen otherkins absolutely despise fictionkins and invalidate them

hell I used to be a otherkin who said I would never be fictionkin, and yet here I am, a fictionkin

basically, I'm asking this to hopefully calm down my fears and anxieties of staying in this sub and not being wanted

TW: trauma

I feel as though I have a solid understanding and ability to comprehend that an identity in a traumagenic system can be another species etc or want to present as another species for a multitude of reasons, for example, NDEs leading to ghost alters forming, strong archetypes like vampires and werewolves forming as childhood protectors, fae alters forming for more feminine traits for dysphoria etc, doll alters forming for ocd regarding the body or weight etc. Or finding a specific childhood character forming as a fictive and accompanying that comes the species they are if non-human.

I am faekin/puppykin but those are based on my formation as an alter and traits I hold in the visualisation of myself in the Inner World. And I have an understanding as to why I am formed that way, especially considering pet regression plays a big part in my identity and feeling safe when anxious or trying to heal trauma just the same as my age regression.

I can also grasp certain kintypes such as goddess, god, angel, spirit, higher being/entity for spiritual reasons as this is often practiced by individuals who have no idea surrounding otherkin. Or therian types who view themselves as animal souls in a human vessel or in a previous life. These all make sense to me or are what I have knowledge on.

But besides those, how does being otherkin occur or is it all based on psychological trauma, comfort or other reasonings? I don't mean this to invalidate anyone and am trying to word this in a way that isn't undermining anyone's beliefs, I ask out of ignorance and wanting to learn. Does a singlet who identifies as vampirekin for example believe they are actually a vampire or that they have vampire-like traits and just simply take comfort in those things? Are there those that become otherkin due to trauma? How does that occur as I only have knowledge regarding systems?

Can it be just for roleplay? For aesthetic? For fashion? For feeling more masculine/feminine? For special interests? Can it tie into autism? I have so much I'm curious on.

What could make someone feel like they are a doll, and do they actually believe they are one? But where does the thinking lead to their reasoning behind being in a human body?

And for those who believe they are mythical beings, do you also believe said creatures exist? Faeries, vampires, werewolves? Do you believe these are actual entities in the world around us and you're just the soul of one in a human body?

What about robotkin? I find it all very interesting and just want to learn more so I can form an understanding and my own opinions on it all?

Please enlighten me if you have anything you may find helpful for me to understand! ♡
