I wanted to draw different versions of Atom and it was fun trying out the different styles

You got out of bed today.

You did your dishes or dirty laundry.

You finished some homework you’ve been putting off.

You cleaned up around your home/apartment/dorm etc.

You resisted temptation in any form.

You found a reason to smile.

As promised, Ruby’s Vol. 4 outfit! As usual I’ll be finishing the rest of Team RWBY as well…

Otherkin: The belief that your soul is not human.

-Therianthropy: Identifying as an existing earth animal (wolf, cat, dinosaur, fish, etc)

-Otherkin: Identifying as a mythological (or not yet proven to be real) creature (mermaid, unicorn, pegasus, dragon)

^This also includes things such as spacekin, plantkin, waterkin, etc.

-Fictionkin: Identifying as a fictional character. Fictionkin’s legitimacy is hotly debated in the community, and does not actually count as otherkin unless the fictional character is not human.

You may be otherkin if:

-You do not feel like a human/you feel out of place in a human body

-You feel inexplicably homesick for places you’ve never been

-You are drawn to forests/rivers/the ocean/etc (depending on kintype)

-You have always connected with a certain animal

-You have memories that haven’t happened/memories in which you weren’t human

-You feel a tail/ears/etc. even when you know nothing’s there

-You feel urges to act like a specific animal

-You have characteristics of a specific animal

-You feel normal and right when acting like a specific animal

(these may be modified to fit your kintype- i’m speaking from a therian’s pov)

Otherkin is not:

-Just liking something a lot

-Being connected to something

-A choice

-A coping mechanism

-A target of oppression

-A gender or sexuality

-Made up

-A tumblr thing

-New

How to find your kintype:

-Some people already know, and some don’t! That’s fine!

-You can also have more than one (however it gets a bit iffy if you have over 10, you may need to reevaluate and determine if some are just cameo shifts or false alarms)

-Meditate! A lot of being otherkin is meditation! There are many tutorials on how to meditate online, some are even otherkin specific! Eventually you may find sounds and smells that help.

-Get some sleep! Often times otherkin have what are called “dream shifts”- where in your dreams you are your kintype, or you see your kintype. This could lead to memories! My most common shifts are dream shifts.

-Assess. What have you found? If you’ve had any dreams or meditated, you may have seen some things, or remembered some stuff. Try to find a general animal (for example: caninekin), and then try to narrow it down! (Canine > Large > Wild > Wolf), (Canine > Small > Domestic > Chihuahua)

-Be sure to do plenty of research! Finding kintypes takes a long time, and some things you may interpret as different animals could all be traits of one animal.

Tips and resources:

-Dealing with species dysphoria (yes, this happens)

-Food to satisfy kin-related cravings

-Wearing collars is symbolic of being otherkin! I never take mine off!
