alternatekin tips

this is a liiiitttllleee personal (as these usually are) BUT I know there are other alternates out there so :::333

Walk around your house at odd hours (3am works best cuz that’s our hour (that’s actually canon))

Use makeup to make yourself look a little creepy (ex: black eyeshadow to make dark circles)

Cut your nails into claw-like points, bonus if you paint them black

Wear darker clothes

Try exploring abandoned places if you can! Obviously your safety comes first, don’t go alone and make sure you know where you’re going and what you’re doing

Try and make your voice sound ‘glitchy’ by repeating and stuttering certain sounds, or making it sound raspy, or otherwise creepy!

Try voice acting and impersonation if you have time

Hide/chill in closets

Make an alternate report poster with your face on it

Edit photos of yourself to make yourself look flawed

Hello! Can I get some tips for a xenomorphkin/alienkin? :3

Alienkin tips!

go out watching the stars or if you can space-related events!

if you have the guts, interactc with alientsts

if the xenomorph is a shape-shifter, you can change often your appearence with really different styles of clothes and makeup!

"habitat" all are -if you can-

make your bed look like your specie's wold (wold you rather sleep in a nest or a tech advanced bed?)

This is all i can think of and find, hope you liked it!

I have crawled out of Weird Tumblr Purgatory to say that my watermelon looks like flesh today

Perhaps some carnivores would appreciate this information?

[wisdom-of-a-sea-slug]

Hey there! I'm a sea slug!

Yes, I'm aware that I've got an odd theriotype. But to my defense, I'm an absolutely massive wildlife fan who LOVES marine biology. You can cal me Maverick or Mav for short, and my pronouns are he/him and it/its. I'm not going to specify my exact age here, but do be aware that I am an adult. If that makes you uncomfortable, which I completely understand, you may block me.

On this blog, I intend to provide resources to my fellow therians, such as care kits and tips for your theriotype. The difference between this blog and others like it is that I'll be basing the information I provide on your theriotype's behavior and enrichment needs. For example, I might suggest that a fox therian could obtain unprepared food, such as a meal kit or unprepared ingredients, and prepare meals for themselves, as well as snacks that can be eaten in one sitting, such as protien bars. (This is because in the wild, foxes prefer to eat more palatable food, such as cooked chicken, right away, but store less palatable food for later.)

This also means that anything you request might take longer for me to respond to, as I will do thorough research specific to your request. If you suggest a theriotype I've already done, without including any specific needs (such as dietary restrictions), I will link to the post for that theriotype.

What I Take Requests For:

Therian tips (closed)

Care kits (closed)

Stimboards (this one's a bit less research-intense, so the wait time will likely be shorter) (closed)

My Theriotypes:

(More on my theriotypes under the cut)

I identify as several species of sea slug. First, however, I'd like to talk a bit about what sea slugs are.

Sea slugs, also known as nudibranchs, are a type of gastropod, like slugs and snails. Unlike their land counterpart, however, many sea slugs are very colorful.

There are two main types of sea slug, those being Dorids and Aeolids. There's a very easy way to tell which is which:

Some of my theriotypes are Aeolids, others are Dorids. Try and spot what's what!

🌙Top 5 Tips for New/Questioning Kins:

🌟Ask Questions: Most culture is or community blogs are so open to questions about terminology or concepts within the community. Go ask people if you're unsure of something! It's a really good way to form connections & in a community with no official resources, it's best to learn from the people. If they give you bad info, it will almost certainly be corrected by someone in the notes & you can ask multiple blogs/wait for multiple responses to your post to see if answers differ. I am very happy to answer any kin queries people have with any level of complexity - my ask box does not close.

🌟Ignore Discourse: There is so much discourse in kin & related communities about what makes someone valid, which box you fit in, how proper are you at being kin etc etc etc. Ignore it. Learn who you are first, then you can join the debate if you want once you're confident in your own identities & experiences.

🌟Research Kintypes: This doesn't have to be laborious! Therians can look at nature documentaries or read books about their theriotypes. Otherkins have myths, folklore & maybe even urban legends. Or anyone can make a Pinterest board to connect to your kintype visually! Research isn't just so you're knowledgeable, but so you can gain a better understanding of & connection to your identity.

🌟Trust Your Instincts: Kinsidering doesn't have to be super stressful or a massive deep connection. If you are Feeling The Vibe™️, you are probably right! And if you're wrong? There's no problem with that.

🌟Make Friends/Mutuals: Connections are so important in this community. By meeting new people you learn more about others' experiences & also your own. Friends can help you figure yourself out & you can offer the same insight back. Plus mutuals are fun! Connections are fun! Community is fun!

Feel free to add your own advice & share your own experiences in the notes!

For any new kins reading this: ask box is open if you have questions or just want someone to chat to about your ID - doesn't have to be monsterkin related!

its so fun when u get the things u want, no, NEED for ur nonhumanity like cat ears to fulfill the phantom limb gap that's been aching in ur scalp for so long, a pair of cool wings to finally feel a glimpse of the REAL you. With me its skating, because speeding up at a car or standing at strong gushes of wind you get to feel all the breeze rush past ur skin like ur flying, every time i see skaters of any kind just cruise around and feel the winds i imagine myself skating because i seriously think it feels like ur flying the skies above, skating at such unreal speeds while feeling the breeze flow thru u is so close yet so far to actually flying, like you could just lift off and soar above the atmosphere while u see yourself watching your wings expand and catch the air with ease. i think about that a lot, which is why i've been wanting rollerblades for the longest not just for quick and easy transportation balancing a nice exercise, i want them to really FEEL like my kintypes, like the real me soaring thru the skies with ease
