Hello! My name is Aeolus (They/Them), and I am the operator and mod of this blog!

I have been Otherkin for a while now, at least since 2024, though I have associated with the culture since childhood. I had known about alterhumanism since 2023, around its surge in popularity on TikTok. It was only during July of 2024 when I had identified my kintype, that being what I now call Wingkin, or Wingedkin.

This blog is dedicated to tips, lists, questions, and explanations. My goal is to create a source for other Wingkins to refer to.

QnA -~-

Q: What is Wingkin/Wingedkin?

A: Wingkin refers to any Human or Humanoid with Wings and other Avian features. It’s a diverse group of species and hybrids who share the trait of having wings.

Q: What are the common traits and features?

A: Wingkins can have a variety of traits, but the main one is the presence of avian-like wings on the back, separate from the arms. Wings can also be on the lower back, heels, ears, shoulders, etc. Other traits include feather growth, Talons instead of hands or feet, and avian-like facial features. There are no real rules to what a Wingkin can look like, only that there are wings on their back.

Q: What makes Wingkin different from Angelkin?

A: Unlike Angelkin, Wingkin has no religious affiliation, or ties to heaven/afterlife. Wingkin are directly related to humans and the earth. Some Wingkin, however, can be hybrids of Humans and Angels, though that depends on the person.

Q: What makes Wingkin different from Harpykin?

A: Wingkin and Harpies tend to look extremely similar, and share a lot of traits. The main difference is that Wingkin’s wings are separate from their arms.

Q: Did you create this term?

A: No. Absolutely not. Wingkin and Kintypes relating to Avian-Human hybrids have been around for as long as the Alterhuman community has been. I did not found the term, and I am still searching for the creator/first person to refer to themselves as ‘Wingkin’.

Q: Can I send asks and questions about this Kintype?

A: Yes! Feel free to send whatever what you’d like, questions, tips, art, etc, into the ask box! I’ll try to answer them as soon as I can.

Wingkin Food Tips

͎. ｡˚ ° ⊹ ˚. 🪽

I see a lot of these kinds of posts for Therians, but I feel it’s important for Wingkins to have options. Though, it’s hard to compose a list like this since Wingkins vary dramatically. This is more a general take.

Roasted/Dried Seeds (Sunflower Kernels, Chia seeds, Pumpkin seeds)

Roasted/Dried Nuts (Cashews, Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans, Pistachios)

Raisins, Craisins, or other dried fruits and berries

Jerky/Dried Meat (This is generally super expensive so I would recommend making this yourself if you can)

Meat sticks

Berries (Blackberries, Cranberries Blueberries, Grapes)

Really any fruit, but apples and oranges are my favorite

Roasted apples

Any Non-Bird Meat, I like it cut up into smaller pieces or torn up so it feels like eating it off the bone

FISH ESPECIALLY! River Fish are your best option, but to most it doesn’t matter

Crustaceans

Shellfish

Gummy worms, if you’re a bug eating Wingkin. I’m not, but I know some out there

Dehydrated Bugs. Once again, not for me, but I wanted to add these in case

Bug Lollipops

Dried Oats

Chocolate ants

Peas and Corn (Dried Corn is the best)

WHEAT bread. Preferably with the seeds on top

Roasted Chickpea or Edamame

FAKE bird treats, essentially crackers with seeds. Please do not eat actual bird treats or food.

Grains

Flatbreads and Crackers, mainly bc they’re easier to carry to take up less space than risen bread

Biscoff cookies (Idk I just really like crackers)

Trailmixes are your best option for Wingkin Food, but you can also make fake bird feed with seeds and dried corn as well if you REALLY want to eat that (Once again, do NOT eat bird feed, especially cheap ones).

If you want me to make a full Wingkin meal, comment below! I don’t know if I’m good enough with cooking meat yet, but I’ll try my best.

Games for Wingkins

ಇ.✶⋆.˚🪽 ༘ ⋆｡˚

This list includes games that are focused around flying, or include flying in them. I also tried to limit the games where you’re just a bird.

₊˚ ᨦ ᨩ Sky, Children of light

Sky is probably the best game for Wingkins, since it’s entirely focused on flying and puzzles. I used to play it around the time I discovered I was Wingkin. I’d recommend getting this one since it’s free to play and on so many platforms

Price: Free to play!

Platforms: iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, PC

₊˚ ᨦ ᨩ Minecraft

You know what Minecraft is, and if you don’t, sorry I guess. Flying in Minecraft (If we’re not counting floating in creative) is with the Elytra. However, they are locked to post-game (after beating the Enderdragon), or using a /give command. The flying isn’t my favorite, but there are mods that might improve the experience.

Price: $30 on PC and Console, $20 for iOS and Android

Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo New 3DS, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iOS, Android, Metaquest VR headset

₊˚ ᨦ ᨩ Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom

I absolutely love Breath of the Wild, mainly for hunting and foraging. Gliding is extremely fun as well, but some people don’t like it (I can’t see why though).

Price: $60 (BOTW Switch), $79, (BOTW Switch 2, TOTK Switch, TOTK Switch 2)

Platform: Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2

₊˚ ᨦ ᨩ Feather Family

One of the only ‘Bird games’ I want to put on this list, mainly because the flight is incredible. I don’t play Roblox for personal reasons, but if you do I recommend to try it out.

Price: Free to play on Roblox

Platforms: (Roblox), Xbox One, Xbox series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, iOS, Android

₊˚ ᨦ ᨩ Pokemon Legends: Arceus

I haven’t gotten to the point in the game where you can ride flying pokemon, but if I checked correctly, you can summon ride pokemon to fly you around. I know you aren’t technically the one flying, but the flight seems fun enough so I won’t complain. I don’t know if this is in Legends ZA (I’ll feature it in a sequel post if I make one).

Price: $60

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 (Backwards Compatible)

₊˚ ᨦ ᨩ Microsoft Flight Simulator (2024)

I was originally not gonna count this in the list since it’s a plane and not you flying, but there’s a way to simulate it. Using a smaller and faster plane (The boeings are the best option in my opinion), and going into first person perspective, you can achieve what feels like flying with wings.

Price: $70

Platforms: PC, Xbox Series X, PS5

Collection of Wingkin Activities!

͎. ｡˚ ° ⊹ ˚. 🪽

Home ~

Nest making and Nesting - Pretty self explanatory. You make a nest out of pillows and blankets. I prefer to make them on my couch, but you can pretty much make them anywhere (including outside!)

Gathering Trinkets and Organizing them - Once again, self explanatory. This is for more crow adjacent Wingkins

Playing flying related games, or games with flying elements - These are one of the best ways to ‘experience’ flying without leaving the house or thrill-seeking (List of games coming soon!!!)

‘Preening’ and Washing - Just bathing and taking care of yourself. Birds are extremely hygienic, and for my own Wingkin experience, my species is as well. If you have access to a bathtub it also helps.

Outside (Low cost) ~

Hiking - Yes, I know Wingkins are known for flying, but it’s important to remember that Wingkin are known for foraging and their connection to nature. Spending time outside helps with said connection, and it relates with some other activities in this list.

Foraging - Self explanatory again. It also supplies you with snacks related to the kintype. PLEASE DO RESEARCH BEFORE FORAGING!!! Read books, watch videos, and learn native plants and lookalikes. NEVER EAT SOMETHING YOU FOUND OUTSIDE IF YOU DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!!!

Bird Watching - Great way to connect with birds. Watching them fly can also teach you the anatomy of wings and the mechanics of flight

Befriending Crows and Pigeons - Another way to connect with birds. It’s also great to study them as well since they get so close. Make sure to feed them bird-safe foods, and never forcefully touch one unless it allows you to.

Perching - Self explanatory again again. Best places to perch are of course, trees. You can perch on fences and roofs, but make sure it’s safe (AND LEGAL) to be up there.

River Washing - Really what I mean is playing in creeks and shallow rivers. Standing under waterfalls are great too. Please do not actually wash yourself with products in a river, this can pollute the water. And make sure to clean yourself off after when you get home.

Out of house (Medium Cost) ~

Trampoline Parks - A fun way to ‘experience’ flying, since most places have foampits in them you can jump into.

INDOOR zip lines - Traditionally seen as ‘safer’ than outdoor zip lines, since there are often foam pits and mats below you. Great if you’re scared of falling.

Rock climbing - Another way to get up high, and some places even have cords so you ‘fall’ inside of climbing down.

Falcon Shows - These are great to see a trained bird in motion. Though these are rare in some areas due to differing animal laws. Just make sure the show you’re attending is known for taking care of the birds.

High Thrills ~

(NOTICE!!! These are the most authentic ways to imitate flying. However, some of these require intense safety and training.)

Roller Coasters - While this should be counted with Theme Park rides, some places have extremely fast and intense rollercoasters. These are far more accessible than other options in this list.

Outdoor Zip lining - Compared to indoor, this is the more authentic option. Especially if you’re surrounded by woods, or high up in the trees.

Skydiving - One of the closest experiences to flying you can get. However, it can be extremely terrifying for many. I recommend doing a lot of research beforehand and finding a safe company you can trust.

Bungee Jumping - Another scary one. These aren’t as popular as these used to be, but there are some depending on the area.

Hang gliding and Paragliding - These are, in my opinion, the best ways to simulate flying. Especially hang gliding. These require a lot of training, and are not beginner friendly. If you can, and you’re comfortable with it, this is the one you should attempt to do sometime in your life if you’re Wingkin

Miscellaneous/I didn’t know where to put these ~

Making Wings/Wing Accessories - Self Explanatory again again AGAIN. This can vary wildly in cost, depending on the functionality planned and materials used

Playing as a Winged Character in DND and other Roleplaying games - I’d recommend becoming an Aasimar, since you gain temporary wings as a trait once you reach level 2 (I think? It might be Lvl 3??? I’ll correct this once I find my rulebook)

Having birds as a pet - I don’t keep birds as pets, mostly because I’m not qualified to keep them and don’t have the space to take care of them. But if you do the right research and have the space, it’s a great way to care for birds.

Chickenkeeping - Separated this from pets because Chickens are often kept as livestock, and outdoors. Same as above, if you have the space and research, it’s another way to connect to birds.

Feel free to comment your own ideas below, and I will update the list!
