Intro post
This is one of my three sideblogs for @chestersbraincell , this one is for my otherkin stuff. As always with side blogs, this is just for reblogging stuff I post in relation to a topic for people who may not want their dash littered with other stuff I post about. That being said, my sideblogs update later/more irregularly than my main blog, so if you’d like to have a gander at my intro post there and find what I post to your liking, I best advise following that one. Alas I know people prefer blogs related to certain topics so here we are. (Side blogs will not be made for fandoms as I mostly reblog stuff for those anyway)
You may refer to me with any pronouns but I much prefer they/them or neos based around my identity. The best way to refer to me, though? Just call me a creature. A being. Ya know
My current list of kin identities is as follows: Voidkin, Shapeshifterkin, Cryptidkin and Creaturekin are the ones I tag my posts on my main blog with most of the time. Some other kin types that feel approximated to me depending on the mood/forms I take include: Eldritchkin, Monsterkin, Demonkin, Shadowkin, Faekin, Spiritkin, Foxkin, Catkin, Wolfkin and probably some others I haven’t quite explored yet since I take many forms. Those are just some I frequent.
I think my little explanation from my main blog about my kin identity is warranted a repeat here so, here:
The main “kin” identities I identify with are “Voidkin” and “Shapeshifterkin”. I am like the physical/metaphysical embodiment of, well, space, I guess? That is my “home”, anyway. The void is my home. Where I come from. But sometimes I’m also part of it. Not to get too spiritual with it but I do believe in reincarnation in my own way, and I believe that being part of the “void”, or just general “energy” floating around there is the in-between in which my soul resides in between lifetimes.
I think I’ve lived many a lifetimes which have shaped the main forms I take when I’m more, well, shaped. Most of the time the shape I take is mostly humanoid, with various animal/otherwise features at different times, such is the way of being a shapeshifter. I’m vanta-black in colour, except for the two glowing circles that are my eyes. They’re not always visible/open, but a lot of the time are. Also occasionally my teeth/fangs will highlight in a similar way. Oftentimes as of recent I’ve been covered in fur/my silhouette is “fuzzy” on the edges, but there are times when I feel more cool, smooth. The best way I could describe it is the texture of phone/computer screen. That and I’m semi-corporeal. So. Not entirely tangible. I take a liking to forests and dark spooky hallways/general areas, I think at some points I might’ve been something similar to a cryptid. Generally just like to become one with the darkness I occupy, too. Malleable is my shape is all I want to say.
I sometimes experience more animalistic shifts(in the shapeshifter way, btw, since I know “shifts” is something used by otherkin identities in a different context). The forms I take, then, are most often either feline or canidae in nature. I’ve considered moth and squirrel before but I’m not sure whether I just share some traits/behaviours or whether I have had moments where I was completely shaped like that.
A warranted recent addition/discovery is that I’ve kinfirmed domesticated otterkin for sure! It’s definitely the animal I feel most strongly kin towards, likely a more recent lifetime. That and with my reconnecting to a past hobby, swimming, I’ve also discovered that my various cryptid iterations likely included some kind of sea monster thing. Humanoid, but there certainly are tentacles and fins at times
Also also recently discovered I was winged at some point! Probably a harpy-like sort of creature. Definitely had bird feet due to how many instincts I have based around it. Mainly my perching instinct whenever I sit. I always forget NOT to curl my toes inwards and put my foot down on that. Causes pain TwT
Also adding to the list of concepts I am: water! I am water! Just water in general! I connect alot to the symbolism of water being fluid and shapeshifting and representating change. I like looking at water. I like the feel of water. And most of all I like floating in water and just. Becoming one with it. Along with this, I kin the concept of darkness as presented in deltarune. My connections to water as well as the void and shadows as a blank slate that invites imagination and creation. Yeah
