[flightyfish]

Oh wait I should make an intro post huh!!!

Hi!! I'm Cricket (they/them). This is my blog for my otherkin things (my main blog is @softichill). I'll be doing probably a mix of reblogging and posting my own stuff as I try to explore and figure myself out

My kintypes are Wingkin, cathearted, and Oceankin! (Specifically a winged person, a house cat, and a humanoid sea monster). Also questioning some variant of shapeshifterkin

Misc. stuff under the cut

#fish mode - oceankin tag #bird mode - wingkin tag #shifty sketches - my art!!

That's all for now!! This is still a very work-in-progress blog so I'll probably add to this post as time goes on.

Happy Wet Beast Wednesday to my fellow fish monsters

[veliseraptor]

you know what. I think I should be allowed to temporarily turn into a seal and go swimming around in the ocean for a while. just submit a little note to work that says "sorry, I need to take some sick time, I am becoming a seal" and leave for a week

hello!! im currently trying to figure out if im a mermaidkin and would love hearing about experiences from any mercreature! if theres any thing or feeling or experience that helped you kinda figure it out id love to hear:)

Hi hi!! I’d love to share! (And if anycreature would like to add on, please feel free to!) 

below cut: 3 paragraphs, 1 about kinsidering, 1 about my experiences, 1 about kinsidering tips

As a mercreature, there’s been an obvious magnetic attraction to water- but for me specifially, I did a LOT of research on different renditions of merfolk and sea creatures, mythical and not- still am! That’s how I found out about Siokoy and Sirena- I knew when I saw them they were me, and figuring out how my gender expresses through that was my next big hurdle (if you didn’t know, they’re a dimorphic species- Siokoy are male, Sirena are female) 

As for experiences, I actually live in a landlocked place with next-to-no water, so my experience are very interesting- mostly baths and hotel pools, but I make it work ^^ I’ve found that water is a VERY good way to stimulate your body and cause shifts in a soothing manner, even if you’re not actively swimming (like taking baths, like me!)

My biggest takeaway and tips for kinsidering- log your shifts. Time and what you feel, any type of shift. I actually learned that I have a shift that is almost ONLY nocturnal, that might be the case for others, and linking different types of physical shifts can help put the puzzle together about what you’re feeling (whether it be one or multiple, who knows? Ha!)

(Extra: shhhh you didn’t hear it from me but @gone-fish-mode has the best writings about alterhumanity in the history of ever and s/he’s a Gillman!)

[gone-fish-mode]

GRAH IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY STUFF!! HEHEHEHSBABBAA. :] im normal im so normal.

Anway, let me drop some more resources.

If you're looking for info on being a mer, I've written a bit about some generalizations in the aquatic community here!

Here is a tumblr group all for aquatic kin

Also listing some mutuals of mine who post or reblog stuff about being aquatic in some way! This isn't all of them, I've surely missed many, but they were the first to come to mind. You should go read their stuff and see what resonates with you!

(sorry for the mass tag)

Big fan of the rise of fish posters

My sloppy little kelp dwellers,

keep posting friends. There is a severe lack of sea creature community, and I think we deserve forums and events and rep just as much as any creature. I find it near impossible to think there’s hardly any known groups of sea monsters/creatures in comparison to dragons, fae, vamps, or weres. there’s so much good we can do for eachother and the world (especially with US marine life protections under threat!) just by sharing our experiences and educating (or not, your not obligated to educate because you exist.)

I love you oysters, I love you whales, I love you coral, I love you anglers, I love you river monsters, I love you gar, I love you I love you I love you !

So much love, from a mildly vicious Siren.

Btw have I shown my gill tattoos! Got them a few years ago! Wish I had more opportunity’s to show my gills but it makes me happy to know when I look down I can see them again

It’s on both sides

Something that is perhaps alluded to but never elaborated on when talking about phantom sensations is how a many times phantom sensations aren't feeling a limb, but rather an intense desire for sensory input in a way that is inaccessible to you.

If you look at an image of myself as a gillman, one of my main traits is all my frills. I don't feel every individual layer or every fin, but rather "sections" of them that move as a unit (mostly); the top of my head, the back of my head, the nape of my neck, the sides of my face, my upper back, lower back, and forearms. It gets iffy when you get into the realm of shaking them out or ruffling them, but this is generally how they're split. I can feel these individual groups not from phantom sensations the way I feel webbed hands or my hog tail, but rather because they are sensory organs that desire sensory input.

I can't feel my frills, but I desire sensory input that I can not experience without them. I am such a sensory seeking beast, I need to tap and rub and use my hands in the same way that I need to run clean water through my frills. I can feel the buildup of sweat and grime between them, and I need to shake it out. That desire for that specific sensory experience is so strong that I don't need phantom limbs to understand the shape of me, I just need to pay attention to what my sensory desires are and figure out what parts I'd need to experience it.

Its the same with my gills, and its why they're so rare. I don't need the sensory experience of breathing underwater, of feeling the water run through me and exit, until I am in an environment where that sensory experience is necessary. It's a deep desire I feel, but can't achieve. If I were to satisfy that desire, I'd need gills. Ergo, my brain believes that I should have gills.

I have a constant desire for very specific sensory input on these parts of my body? And XYZ feature would left me experience that? Then that's a part of the body that my brain thinks we're supposed to have.

Been having a lot of gunk in my fins today (likely from all of my late-nights and hours of studying for midterms) and I can't get rid of it. It's a sensation that simply will not wash away, and I hate that I can't just go in with a rag and clean out every crevice of them! They aren't there! I can't clean them! It's frustrating and a little silly. Beast needs to clean apart of herself that isn't actually there.

i know we all love to overthink stuff but its important to remember not to lose yourself in the process. sometimes you just are, and thats okay.
