Makeup inspired by how it feels being nonhuman. Like the front people see has been carved out of the true skin in order to resemble something human. All that remains is something unnerving and distressed.
I finally stopped lurking and made an intro post, so now I'm making an official post to sort of reach out to others in the nonhuman/otherkin community.
Hi, I'm Kanata. I'm an obake (shapeshifter). I basically just shapeshift and mimic other beings/forms.
I like photography, scrapbooking, music, anime/manga, multiple fandoms, various visual novels, video games, various aesthetics, and other things.
I draw and write. Sometimes.
Looking to befriend any nonhuman/otherkin. I'm nervous to talk to others but I'm trying to branch out and be social cause I wanna make some friends. I'm on discord, too, (o.b.a.k.e. is my username) so if there's any nonhuman server hangouts.
Uh... idk what else to put. Anything else about me is in my pinned intro. If you wanna know anything, though, feel free to ask me. I rarely sleep. That sounded weird... Sorry.
These questions were asked to me by @wastelandcanine Thank you so much for asking. I'm more than happy to answer them for you!
I'm answering questions about my otherkin identities. I'm a Werewolf, Shapeshifter, and Celestial creature otherkin! The questions will be answered under a read more tag, just due to length 😅
How does being a spacey creature work?
I've actually only discovered my space creature identity very recently, so I'm still discovering and learning about it! However, I have been able to determine some things about myself. I have multiple eyes, wings, and arms. I don't have any kinda nose or mouth (that I'm aware of) and I feel as though I'm full of stars! ✨
2. How do you know exactly what you feel in a sensory shift or something?
I feel like I'm floaty, and a mix between having a solid and mist like form? It's something that I'm still exploring. ✨
3. How does stars feel like?
It's a bit hard to explain? I don't really have the words of describing it. However, I do feel as though my celestial creature is made of the Galaxy itself. I suppose that they make me have a warm and tingling sensation. ✨
How does being a werewolf work?
My werewolf kin was actually the very first kin type I discovered about myself! In my experience, my human body is like my "disguise" to help me blend into the human experience without feeling the need to endanger myself. 🐺
2. How do you know exactly what you feel in a sensory shift or something?
It depends on my shift. Sometimes it's a phantom shift, while other times it's more of a mental or emotional shift. Either way, I don't turn completely feral. While I because more animalistic in nature, I'm still awear of important people, places, ECT. 🐺
3. What does a werewolf feel like?
It's a mix experience. I feel stronger, faster, more powerful! My senses are heightened in order to maximize this power! I want nothing more than to run and hunt my pray, with my very own pack! But, it's saddens me that I cannot act on these urges. As there's those out there who cannot see the glory that stands before then. 🐺
How does being a shapeshifter work?
Being a shapeshifter, to me anyway, simply means that you never know what's going to happen. Or what your going to get. 🫧
2. How do you know exactly what you feel in a sensory shift or something?
Just like with my werewolf and galaxy creature, it just depends on what type of shift I'm having. Phantom, mental, or emotional shifts. 🦄
3. What dose a shapeshifter feel like?
Because I'm a shapeshifter, I feel like whatever creature or object I take the form of! Sometimes, I don't even know or have the words to describe what I even am. 🍁
Again thanks for asking me these questions! I enjoyed answering them so much! I'm always willing to talk about my experiences with my nonhumanity more if anyone else has questions!
Hi Hi!!! I stumbled upon your blog and wanted to ask if you could give me neopronouns for my kintype (shapeshifter) and a moodboard?? Both would be in a more darker but no aggressive vibe, if possible!!
Yep of course ^^ Love your pfp btw !

Decided to go with a few different kinds of moodboards because wasn't sure what kind of shapeshifter moodboards you would enjoy due to the term being broad [Which is not a bad thing and shapeshifter kins are cool ! ^^ ] and because not sure if you want gifs as well or nah.
Doesn’t always work, in fact it often doesn’t however it helps to think of everyday human things in a more creature way.
• cleaning: fixing my nest
• food shopping: hunting, same goes for eating regular meals. Leaving my room = going out to hunt
• bathing: connect with water based aspects of my kin types/forms
• going on walks: scouting my territory.
• getting dressed: helps me represent my shape shifting. Putting on my jewellery, makeup and clothes is like putting on my skin.
• self care tasks such as teeth brushing, you can imagine as if these tasks were being done by a carer onto an animal (where you are the animal).
• I like to call things by different names, my room is my nest, hands are my claws, showering is taking a bird bath, sleeping is taking a cat nap, hair brushing and nail clipping is grooming, etc.
I greet thee dear! I suppose it depends. Shapeshifting is as a dance just as it is survival. I shift at my whims, taking delight in my fluidity. There is a wilderness within me and around me that drives change. This is why I cannot stay the same form for long. The beast will long to shift. But what of changing at will?
My comfort in fluidity means that I can take upon a form where I am fluid and able to morph at my pleasing. And yet some changes will come that make it so I cannot force myself out of a form. As I previously mentioned, survival.
In threatened situations certain forms will arise, ones to protect. My surroundings do influence my forms. When I am around a certain close friend of mine I become a soft house cat. I never take this form whenever I am not with them and likely could not even if I wanted to. If I feel male on a certain day I cannot force myself to be female. There is a deep and primal instinct within me, tells me who I am and as a wild beast will not change. Shapeshifting for me is not about freedoms therefore I cannot force myself into a form I do not want to be in.
My shapeshifting is to do with the wilderness that is my will. In its nature it cannot be tamed or forced. Just as I cannot force myself to no longer be a shapeshifter, there are times when my soul distinctly feels as a certain form. To change is of no use, and I suppose not possible seeing as I am a shapeshifter only of the spiritual kind.
