dear fellow dragonkins: "queztel" is not a dragon species. He is a Mexica deity. Calling yourself a queztel is racist. Because he is not a dragon, but a very important deity from a people that have been genocided and colonised for hundreds of years. If you see someone calling themselves that, call it out.

I enjoy my own sense of otherhumanity in that there is not one moment that I am without it. The mentalities and instincts are always there, simple as breathing, just as the human is driven towards socialisation and community development. I feel my hunger, my song, the teeth and natural defensiveness always—but also the love and care, the sharp teeth and the draw to a ‘home’ to defend. A people to protect.

dragonkin advice from a drakon? Start considering hoards beyond shinies. While I also love shinies, there's so much power and ability in hoarding knowledge. Being a mini expert on a subject is something that'll never fully leave it--essentially, it'll always be yours in your hoard.

being an indigenous otherkin is definitely a bit different because in some kins spaces there are still people using their idea of indigenous spirituality as a basis for their spiritual (or psychological) otherkinity and I find it so funny. there is no one single indigenous spirituality and not all of us have animals has heavy components
