Otherkin Stuff - Tumblr Posts
my friend fits all these rquirements, but im pretty much like the ppl u described first, skinny, young-ish, fit, but i enjoy playfighting with my friend, i enjoy running circles around him while he takes a break, i enjoy doing challenges he sets for me when he cant do quads bc of his messed up wrist, yall chubby therians/quadrobists are awesome, and i want yall to feel happy even though you cant do quads like other ppl, ur still amazing ppl and i love yall
i’ve been watching a lot of nonhuman shorts on youtube lately, and i feel the need to say that i’m quite sad (and then pissed off cuz of that) about how many of them are just skinny, in-shape young kids (around my age or a few years younger than me).
i wanna see my fellow chubby out of shape teens who don’t do quads that often, because of how out of shape and chubby they are, even if they love quads.
i wanna see my fellow out of shape teens who pull a muscle when doing quads, or are out of breath right away, or are completely sore afterwards for days.
i wanna see my fellow chubby teens who’s quads are clumsy and not graceful because we have all that extra weight on us.
i wanna see my fellow queer chubby teens who bind and who don’t do quads that often cuz their chest doesn’t stay in place right or stay flat and it makes them feel gender dysphoria.
i wanna see my fellow chubby, out of shape teens doing this stuff. or not even teens! anyone of any age! that isn’t skinny as hell and that isn’t in shape!
i just would like to see some more nonhumans like me please.
yeah, that’s about all. *goes to lay down in my little den again*
God As Otherkin
I want to talk to you about how being otherkin, and growing up (distantly) religious, has influenced my understanding of God. If that interests you, then buckle in.

My family wasn't religious growing up. My parents weren't, neither were my siblings. My grandma however, was. I did the prayers she told me to do before bed, and sat quietly while she read and explained various parables and passages from her text.
To me, religion was a thing that I was told to do. Not a belief that I had.
Eventually, that changed somewhat. I began "making up" my own prayers. Treating God as something to talk to, even if I wasn't getting any answers.
Over time however, that faded. I began to proudly proclaim myself an atheist at first. Then an agnostic.
In terms of conventional beliefs regarding God, I'm still agnostic. I don't believe in any of the Gods outlined by any religions I'm currently aware of.
Yet now that I'm an adult I find myself seeing nature in a very similar way to how I experienced God and religion.
A distant force, vast and on some level incomprehensible. Capable of being spoken to, but not likely to answer you. A thing to which you belong, without ever really understanding what it is.
People talk in reverence about being in the presence of their deity. In a sense, I feel similarly about nature. It isn't a reverence exactly, but a sense of awe and even smallness.
My kintype isn't quite human, nor is it an animal exactly. But it belongs to that world anyway. Made in the image of this complex web that I don't fully understand.
As a werewolf, I see myself as a product of nature. Even though my kind may have never existed in the wild, in a way we did. The myth of the werewolf is in many ways, a fear of the natural world. I am every predator that mankind has ever been afraid of. And yet I am also none of them.
When I'm out there in the wilderness, there's the feeling of connecting to my kintype. But there's also another feeling. The feeling of being surrounded by something ancient, indisputable, and in a way powerful.
That's my God. Not a definable figure, or a thinking being from another world. Instead, a vast force comprising every living and inanimate thing. The organic and inorganic history that shaped my bones.
An invisible shepherd.
My Australian shepherd kin ^^. I fallow a more punk/goth aesthetic with a puppy twist.
Alterhumans reblog with your therio/kin/etc. -types and general vibes/aesthetic (if you have a moodboard(s)/pictures even better) and I’ll share an OC or OCs of mine that remind me of u /lh /opt
Any of y’all therians/otherkins sit like this, specifically with this bump, and feel more animalistic?
Anyone ever get like conflicting kintypes? Like you’ll do something or have a shift that is euphoric for one kin of but dysphoric for another?
