While I don't know if I'm other kin or not, I always enjoys learning about other cultures, ideas, and experiences that people have. Can you make a compilation of otherkin Tiktoks made to educate others about the different kinds and stuff? I want to do my own research, but I'm not sure where I could start otherwise, and I have a lot of questions, but none have fully formed yet and so I can't ask :/ I like these by the way, they're fun and interesting to me :D /gen
an easy definition is that otherkin ppl feel a strong, non physical connection to a nonhuman non-animal being. the defining pointi of otherkin is that you IDENTIFY as a non-human being, and the being probably doesn't exist in real life. If it was an animal/being that currently exists or has existed, it would be therianthropy. Ex: therianthropy would be identifying as a fox, owl, dinosaur, or early human ect. Otherkinity would be identifying as a fairy, dragon, cyclops, centaur, ect.
Actually I believe other kin is an umbrella term and not just mythical/fantasy, it also includes therians (people who identify as animals who have existed on earth before) again this is what I believe not that it is true, believe what you want to believe.
That is actually true. Otherkin is an umbrella term, I believe it means identification as a creature or animal in general. But with the therian label around it’s often just used to represent mythical/fantasy, though it can be much more than that for example demons and angels are otherkin. Otherkin is also under the alterhuman term, which Gods, plants, and some others are under it as well. There’s a lot of misinformation going around, but you are correct despite popular belief.
You are kinda right! I saw that you already replied that you meant alterhuman as an umbrella term, but I'd like to add that otherkin means you identify as ANYTHING that isn't entirely human, it can be an animalistic being, plants, Objects or even time periods!
Im a otherkin, Angel, (black) dragon, elf, and fox, I almost always feel wings, 🪽 And somtimes i feel tails, (fox or dragon tail,) And species dysphoria us wiild bro

*Uh I searching for answers and I’m questioning* So I hang around the gender wiki, I go by Moss he/they fae/faer but my name changes depending if i feel nonhuman or not. And for context this a post I posted on the gender wiki fandom so some information is left out and has changed but I’ll explain later. Recently Ive felt nonhuman but its fluid just all around my body I dont feel human, and I think its tied to pronouns? This started around the time I started signing off and its tied to nature sometimes I dont really know I usually express this feeling through neoprouns like ?/??/?? or neopronouns tied to nature to express this feeling buts getting stronger to the point somes where I dont want people to see me as anything related to this reality. Update: Its creature like humanoid looking but various creatures like moths, Mini Update 2: strong connection to moths right now. I dont want to look or be human The feeling is faint but strong. It's nature based. Mini update 3: clothes are starting to feel uncomfortable which is wierd because Im wearing a big cozy sweater. Mini update 3: Music plays apart dont know if it's fluid it feels creature claws leaves, moss, Song Theres Something Happening. (*I dont consider this a contribution anymore*) Mini update 4: Clothes feel constraining specifically upper back. Now. I don’t consider Update 3 apart of it because of me being Cadenaeasic which so happened to enhance the creature like feeling. I don’t think pronouns are apart of it even though signing off meant putting pronouns as well. *-Note signing off means putting name(s) + pronouns-* I guess it subconsciously made me think how others view me and how I view myself. So this feeling came up of being nonhuman and I expressed it through nature based neopronouns, over time it grew stronger the feeling of being nonhuman, not even feeling just being nonhuman. I have this connection to moths though but I can be other things like dragons, bees anything tied to nature. I also had this weird experience of feeling like I had a bee abdomen(?) it felt heavy and strange. Also feel like there’s some form of wings on my back at all times. (Small wings dragon? Idk it just feels weird but confronting) Anyways I some people on the otherkin wiki fandom suggests that Im a polymorph with the animal moth being more dominant Also I have another question can you be both be a polymorph and kinfluid? Because it comes in waves but idk. All I know is that Im not a Therian so if you guys agree with the feedback or have new feed back that would be appreciated because I really don’t wanna disrespect or fake that Im being in the community-
Hey so uhm I need help figuring out if I’m a polymorph. Here’s some alterhuman identities I already know of: Waterkin Red fox, gray and white cat, golden eagle therian Cat and vulture otherhearted Naturehearted Okay here’s the reasons I think I may be a polymorph: 1. I had the slightest little ears and wings shift today 2. I’ve felt more like I was a creature with wings and fur and canine(ish) ears before 3. Sometimes I feel kinda like I had two tails 4. When I think about fur and feathers going on the same creature it just feels right 5. I’ve had this little feeling in a dream where it was like I was flying but I had 4 legs and fur That’s all I can remember right now, I’ll probably change the comment or reply if I get/remember something else Also 0:46 gave me a wing shift!!
(I'm not a polymorphkin so I may be wrong on some parts) First I would probably look into any animals/creatures that also share those traits. If none of those suit your traits, look a little more into polymorphs and talk to fellow polymorphkins for help/advice. (This is all I've got for now but if I have anyother advice/help to give I'll let you know)
Hey this is my new acc here! I can log onto the other for proof lol. I’m not a polymorph but I did discover my kintypes :) a lot of these are outdated btw
There's no way you unironically believe you are fucking spiritually connected to an animal that doesn't exist, so much that you actually identify as one.
