Ramblings of Jafira Dragon

Lvl 40 - Ramblings from a derpy ⚧ dragonkin, but mostly VRChat pic's ^.=.^   http://www.jafiradragon.com/

[jafira]

My dragoness Jafira, the model is called a Dovabrodian and is the closet I have come to portraying how I see her in my minds eye, this is without a doubt one of my most cherished forms when spending time with friends in VR.

[jafira]

Rikkor model, the rikkor community provided me a home when I first got in VR and was still struggling to make friends and find my niche, the friends I've made in this form have been cherished parts of my daily life the past years since

[jafira]

My avali sona "Sakadi" retextured on to a floof avali base in VRChat, proud of this one and I use it a lot in VRC

[jafira]

Another pic of her in different clothes, showcasing recently added "blended wings" asset.

Been a long while since I posted anything, so just proof of life I guess ^.=.^ I still spend all my free time in VRChat when not at work^^ Escapism for the win! ^.=.^ Screen shot of my dragoness Jafira, it's a kudadragon base with various assets added to help her match my vision of an anthro Jafira

[jafira]

Despite quite a few customized dragon models that match my inner self perceptions as a dragon/dragoness, I still feel most comfortable defaulting to a flammie model as my main identity in VR, it just feels most welcoming, or natural to me. There is no spiritual canon, nor personal mythos for it, its just a flammie version of myself. I have a lot of fun as her. ^.=.^

[jafira]

A retextured Rhineus model purchased from Forest Wind on Booth. The color scheme is based off my male rikkor's coloration.

A retextured Davali model, with furality slyva clothing. She is based off my avali interpretation of Rashau from my time playing Starbound.

Added alternate more casual clothing, Kudalyn's Aqua clothing. My edit of the kuda dragon model, with various additional assets of hair, tail and wings. Themed after my female dragon awakening Rashau Seriana.

Still Alive, Thoughts

Reflections on 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDs7H1IhQCs *Looks around* I still don't know how to use tumblr, the whole reblog thing just confuses me, do not expect any response if you reply to this^^' just talking out loud essentially, I'm old, bring back forums^^' I'm still most active on VRChat / Discord / Twitter, but trying to slowly integrate Mastodon and Tumblr into my routine occasionally. I noticed Othercon happened this prior weekend, it made me nostalgic to think of.. I'm not sure what place I have in the dragonkin community after my little freak out last year, but rawr.. Kind of day dreaming of "Maybe" updating my old 2011 dragonkin guide a little. I'm still paranoid that someday, after the trans panic, furries/otherkin/therians may be next on the hate train, so I want to speculate on that fear and possible responses when/if the time comes (will recommend organizing/networking etc) Also, gender identity in relation to kintype(s) was always intended but I wasn't brave enough to write on such in the decade prior, it's better late then never^^' Possible Future Guide Additions: 1: Perceived changes in otherkin culture -Jafira is old 2: Gender identity in relation to kintypes and pluralism 3: Concern of future social ostracism. 4: VR, AR, AI and the near future benefits to kin Present otherkin guide 2018 version: http://www.jafiradragon.com/Jafira-Draconity-Guide.pdf

Reblog if you’re an Otherkin/Therian over 18.

And add you age to the tags, please.

I read somewhere in that otherkin is just a phase and that all of them are minors, and now I’m curious, how many of you folks are over 18?

Thanks.

Lv 39. Dragonkin, since age 10. Was not a phase.

Amalgam of my two perceived dragonkin awakenings re-imagined for VR. I have been feeling more comfortable identifying draconically as female in recent years, so gave her Rashau’s gender expression, optimism and energy, alongside Korageth’s scales, mind and pride. Alongside my flammie model in VR (just a flammie version of above) I have been somewhat gradually rebranding, or expressing myself more as this dragoness. I feel it is easier for others to identify me as one individual dragon, then to see me as divided or constantly juggling between dragon/gender identities. To my perception she is both of my draconic awakenings in one flesh, so is the best representation of my spiritual duality at this time. Model is a retextured Kudadragon: https://kudalyn.gumroad.com/l/kudragon

About a year ago around this week, I had some relationship problems and sudden frightening life changes strike me.. At the time it felt as though all I ever knew was collapsing, my world burning in flames around me over the course of a single week.. Emotional, sleepless and erratic I came to this and other platforms to lash out at the unfamiliar and at those I didn’t understand, bitterly punching down at my allies in a desperate attempt to grasp for some false sense of control over my spiraling life. ..It was not my finest moment. I spent a lot of time in the virtual world above around then, and afterwards, just staring at the sea and virtual nature, reflecting on things, my past, the future, the present.. Lots of deep talks and deep thoughts were spent in worlds and environs similar to that, just sorting through my wrongs and what place I have in our changing world. A year later, the world feels a bit darker, but I am still growing, I live in a time where it is easier to be myself then it was in the 90′s or early 2000′s, I want to keep fighting to protect this world that we built and to help it be even more free for those who will come after. Even if my anxiety only allows me to simply have a silent presence here and and not much else I at least hope that presence may still remind some that they are not alone.

Never cease to be yourselves, keep fighting for a brighter tomorrow. Reflections on 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDs7H1IhQCs

Female Jafira, (Korashau) shared earlier, she is a re-texture of a dizzy-kobold model. : Loved the world, I spend a lot of my free time in VRChat searching for the most beautiful or graphically impressive worlds I can find, it’s a relaxing hobby of mine. Model: https://damoderg.gumroad.com/l/QPygy

A couple years ago, I had a migraine, nothing abnormal, I’m prone to them and get a migraine at least once or twice a week. This particular migraine I went outside to my car and took a nap in the back seat as it was quieter then in my home. I had a dream that a white iridescent western dragoness came and spoke to me, she introduced herself as “Yesha” and she gave me tender comfort and soothing words. When I woke the migraine was gone. I remembered her name and beautiful appearance. This re texture was based loosely on her appearance as tribute to that memory. Model: https://forestwind.booth.pm/items/3418491

[jafira]

Darker Davali model, retexture loosely based off my dragon Korageth.

[jafira]

Kitavali re-texture based loosely off Rashau and one of my Starbound OC’s.
