PSA to any nonhumans/otherkin/voidpunks who want a fang piercing to affirm themselves!!!

Do NOT do this:

This is a “smiley” piercing (a horseshoe bar through the frenulum); fang bars are NOT proper jewelry to wear in them! Their size and shape can increase the risk of gum recession and tooth chipping (and are at a higher risk of being torn out by mistake!), plus they’re difficult to live with when it comes to eating, drinking, and sleeping.

Do this instead:

These are vertical angel bites (AKA “angel fangs”), using a standard curved barbell with a spike on the bottom. They don’t extend into the oral cavity at all, which means your teeth won’t be damaged and there’s a lesser risk of injury. This piercing is also easier to live with so you can keep your fangs full-time (as long as the spikes you use aren’t TOO long, I’d recommend 3 to 4 mm).

Pls remember to affirm yourselves safely (especially with body modification), and only wear jewelry that’s meant to safely go in your piercing! 💕

(This is a safe space for MOGAI, otherkin, voidpunk, and nonhuman identities! Any offending or bigoted comments will be deleted and blocked. Please be respectful in the comments!!)

I never could have prepared myself for the sheer euphoria I’ve been feeling by seeing otherkin-related posts that aren’t framed as cringe.

I know we have a long-ass way to go, but the fact that I’m starting to see posts in places other than the Hellsite™ that are rightfully framed as informational and normal makes me so goddamn happy.

You know,

I suffer from severe eczema, and I always get self conscious about my skin. Though since becoming comfortable in this community I’ve begun to think about it in a different way. I’m like a snake shedding its skin, I’m simply growing, and when I put it like that I feel a lot better. Thank you for helping me feel at home in my body. 🐍💕
