On a serious note: I think the reason I’m an Otherkin, and the feeling I’ve had of not being human or faking being a person is mostly affected by me being autistic, feeling like you have to put on a performance to be treated as a human. (then on one hand I don’t even identity fully as being human/humanity so decisions decisions…) I personally don’t Otherkin out of spirituality (like a belief in past life’s or reincarnation), but because the way my brain thinks and I experience life is like a mermaid crawling out of water and trying to blend in with humans, they resemble a human and can act like one reasonably, but will always desire to go back to the tides where they belong and can be who they really are, and feel wildly out of place around people.

Trees communicate with each other via mycorrhizal networks—Chains of fungi in the soil!

Outside of science, the Loch Ness monster is sometimes thought to be a plesiosaur that survived millions of years unchanged!

Plants can see light, direction, colors (including colors that humans cannot see), and a lot of other stuff! Although, it’s not believed that plants can see complex images like humans do.
