I am a fairy with shapechanging abilities! My fairykin identity originates both psychologically and spiritually.
I use and prefer the spelling of 'fairy' for myself due to personal and nostalgia reasons but I do not use it for other fae folk!
I dont have a 'base form' my appearance often changes, here is a list of some of my most common shapes:
Goblin/Pixie/Elf/Little Person
Light Being/Singer
Fairy Wolf
Shadow
Unicorn
Dragon
Langurhali (furry species)
Fairy Nightfury (httyd/oc)
These aren't individual "kins" but rather simply different forms of my fairykin self. But i may use tags and labels like "wolfkin" or "nightfurykin" when discussing these forms.
I also practice a form of folk fairy faith but this pinned post is already getting long as is ^_^; if i discuss it more in future posts i'll link them here.

✧ Therian - Rabbit 🐇
I'm also a rabbit therian. Purely psychological origin as I believe I imprinted on rabbits as a wean. (we kept and bred rabbits in my childhood).
I am unsure of any specific breed or type, For a while I felt strongly that i was a white (but not albino) rabbit but now I'm less certain, feeling connected to rabbits of most coat types. I also feel connected to both wild and domestic rabbits. I am also considering snowshoe hare.
But until I figure it out (if ever) I'm happy just being a rabbit!
(please don't refer to me as a bunny, bnuy or other cutesy label)

✧ Archetrope - Wizard 🧙♂️
questioning wizard archetrope. I feel more like im on the journey to becoming a wizard than am currently one, but i still identify very strongly with them and it makes up a large part of my philosophy towards life.
Influenced strongly by 70-80s fantasy wizards and the earthsea series.

✧ Hearted - Unicorn, Pergasus and Dragon 🦄🐲
Might be shapeshift forms... undecided. I just feel very close to these creatures as a folkloric/fairy tale creature myself.

reblog thread!! Everyone who wants to partecipate will share the date of their awakening (as specific or as generic as they feel comfortable) by reblogging to this post!
If we're going to go with a general answer here, because there's definitely been different stages, as far as the initial realization? Sometime around 2001. If you want to start when things got a little more specific thats about 2005.
If we want to talk about fictionkin specifically, 2015.
This is too far in the past now for me to be able to pinpoint a specific day and it was more of a gradual "oh you mean that's a thing? you know, that really makes some sense..." I was searching for stuff about "dark elves" (nb, I am not one, that just happened to lead down a path) in late 1997 and I discovered otherkin email discussion lists in the first half of 1998. I think I first turned up on the wyldefae list between April and June of 1998. (I never got any archives of that list, so I can't be sure now.) For larfs, to pick a specific day, I like to say it was Beltane 1998, but that's basically me making shit up.
(Maybe bonus points for having been subscribed to the Silver Elves' paper letters earlier in the 90s, which I had had a similar reaction to seeing their listing in the back of Drawing Down the Moon: "You mean there's really elves???" but although clearly there was something subconscious going on, I wasn't aware of the meaning of it yet.)
Roughly June 2023 I would say? judging based on activity on this blog. I started using it again (was originally an aesthetic blog lol) as a little secret place to keep newly blooming otherkin feels.
I would have been 24, so very late compared to a lot of folks in the community i think? I had no idea about this stuff when i was younger even tho i was online. I knew about fictionkin a little as a teen bc of tumblr but never rly gave it much thought. Had a bit of a 🤨 moment later in my teens stumbling across the angel kin tag but assumed i was just obsessed with angels and not that i was a kin of any sort.
Wasnt until i became friends with two therians who, when talking abt their experiences made me go... huh. And from there i figured everything out lol. I dont think I would have otherwise XP or maybe i would have just thru other means.
Been wanting a moon fairy for a long time and finally found one I loved. Also managed to clean and redo my fairy (and friend's) shrine and managed to fit all my statues together!
I do plan on getting a larger set up. Just working with what I have haha.

if you want to experience life more deeply you have to find more beauty. stop training yourself to dismiss, to mock, to assume the worst all the time — when you do this you build walls between yourself and the world. and after a while you stop feeling the warmth of it entirely.
beauty requires openness. it asks you to let things reach you, to soften enough to be moved. it’s not naive to see beauty everywhere—it’s a skill, a form of intelligence, a kind of quiet bravery. because it is so much easier to critique than to create, to detach than to engage, to dismiss than to love.
let yourself be affected. let yourself find things beautiful and let that be enough. life is not asking you to be cool, sitting on the sidelines and nitpicking everything. it’s asking you to see life and experience it fully.

I made a flag with one of your therian symbols for rabbits / lagomorphs, and was wondering if you'd like me to @ you for credits?
I know the post said it was free to use, but I feel like it's still respectful to give credits and link back to the source, but at the same time don't want to bother you with unnecessary pings considering we don't know each other
Hopefully this isn't too strange of an ask 😭 just wanna be polite
- @vampiric-archives
of course! I would love a credit!
On one hand if it's easy enough to do (ie in a tumblr post) it is polite to credit anyway but also it means that anyone who sees it and would like to use the symbol themselves can get easy access to the full res files! ^_^ plus id be SO excited to see what people make with it, it's never a bother to be pinged for that!
if one is using it for like a pfp or collage where it would be trickier to credit is where I don't mind and where the fair-use comes into play XP
thank you for asking!! im so excited to see it!
this is exactly how certain spirits feel to me — not fully person, not fully landscape, but something in between.
the kind of presence you would meet at the edge of the woods, half-grown from light and moss, carrying a branch like a staff and saying absolutely nothing because it doesn’t need to.
some beings are not here to be understood.
just respected.

Witches & Pagans who work with the fae, what are your thoughts on Titania & Oberon as real, tangible spirits and not just characters written by Shakespeare?
Are there faery beings out there using the names "Titania" and "Oberon"? definitely
Are there ones that not only use the names but match the descriptions, and answer when called by those names? probably.
Are they in some plausible sense queen/king among the fae? Well define king/queen, but sure, any given individual could be one (since there's no singular over-all-everywhere personage that fits that, and the definition of "queen/king" is a little smaller than it tends to be among humans)
Okay okay, cut the hedging (ha ha), you know what the question is intended to mean? Those exact forms were some kind of a manifestation of his specific way of interacting with the faery realm, but it doesn't make them "untrue" or "just made up" in the way that most people might think.
