TransVampire ? Dayo's a CisVampire !! Dayo reccomends —

> just saying you're a vampire ! this works way better than most people think it does , especially if you're in school or something — making it your entire "bit" makes it seem more like a joke , yeah , but people will see vampire related things and associate them with you ! ♡⸜(ˆᗜˆ˵ )⸝♡

> finding a blood substitute that you like ( unless you're fine with drinking your own blood or drinking others ) ( which is possible ! there used to be many servers for IRL vampires to meet up with vampire donors ~ Dayo misses those ... ૮꒰◞ ˕ ◟ ྀི꒱ა ) Dayo personally enjoys cranberry juice the most , but fruit punch , pomegranate juice or any red drink really is a great replacement

> covering up covering up covering uupp !!! you don't have to wear all black and be super gothic to be perceived as a vampire ( even though that's what Dayo is .. Dayo is emo IRL .. shhh monkey see monkey don't always do ... ) but try to cover up most skin to keep away from the sun ! parasols and hoodies are a great investment :3

> indulging in vampire habits ! sleeping upside down ( head to the foot of the bed and vice versa ) , avoiding the sun , avoiding heads of garlic — Dayo also reccomends doodling vampire esque things to put on yourself like little symbols that remind you of your vampirism or red dots to show where you got bit ! ( if you aren't a full blooded vampire like Dayo , hehe ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ )

TransNonverbal ? Dayo's heard of that one . . . Dayo recommends —

> slowly beginning to transition around your friends ! avoid speaking around them , opt to visually react and make sounds instead of using words . If your friends are chill like that you could really just tell them you're non-verbal ~ ๑•͈ᴗ•͈๑

> around your parents — saying you just don't feel like talking ! Unless they're kind of pushy , which is alright . You could always start picking up sign language and primarily using it around them !

> using up your voice on your own so it's uncomfortable to speak ! Dayo recommends singing or screaming , since he can't really think of anything else ૮꒰◞ ˕ ◟ ྀི꒱ა

> saying you lost your voice in addition to the above tip ~ you wouldn't exactly be lying ! most teachers will just let you be after that , so it's best to use in classes ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎♡

TransUncannyValley ? Dayo's heard of that one . . . Dayo recommends —

> blinking in a weird way ... any way besides regular is fine since every nonhuman creature is different ! you could blink suuuper slow , or super fast , like a frog — but definitely stare a lot ! especially for seemingly no reason , don't answer why when asked ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ

> letting social cues pass you ! or you could react to them unnaturally / stiffly , like you don't really understand ... but even better if you don't physically convey confusion besides with your uncertain and jerky actions ~ (*๓´╰╯`๓)o instead of changing expressions just seem neutral or content or whatever your usual is !

> generally moving unnaturally ~ walk stiffly or with a limp or something out of the ordinary , pick up things weirdly , even open or close things in ways that make borderline no sense ... just do things the way you're not supposed to , or ways that nobody does

> Dayo's favorite thing – scaring others a little bit ! practice moving quickly and quietly , without being seen or noticed . Dayo likes to just wait until Dayo's turn to speak and then give people a little spook , but you could also gently get their attention or even just suddenly with physical touch (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤︎

Dayo feels like you would be . . .

> cisdead , trisrotting , permadeadwalking , tranvisiblebones , transneonpinkblood , percipermahigh , cisdrugged , permadruggie , transblinker , ciszombie , cisscene , cisfashionable , cisdiva , cisfem , translesbian , transzombie4zombie , transzombieapocalypse , transdigitalidol , transbodyholes , transvisibleribs , transneonorgans , transneontears , trisneongreeneyes , transdetatchablelimbs

transNaive ? Dayo's heard of that one . . . Dayo recommends —

> taking blatantly false jokes and sarcasm seriously / genuinely ! it gives off the idea that you'll believe basically anything said to you ... Dayo as struggled with accidentally doing this very often (╥‸╥) Dayo is not the brightest bulb out there ... even trying to make jokes like that on your own that fail !

> shifting your mindset ! affirming comes into play with this one ... Dayo recommends that instead of affirming like "I am naive" , try affirming like a naive person ! "they said this to me so that's exactly what they mean ," "they said this and I trust them so there's no way that would be a lie even with how crazy it sounds," stuff like that ! there's nothing wrong with affirming the other way though ~ ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ

> phrasing things a certain way ... Dayo will have to elaborate ! when someone tells you something like the things mentioned in the first tip , tell your friends about it , but in a way that makes you seem like you believed it ! "someone said that this happened," and try to make it sound like you're baffled , even if it's obviously fake ! (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)

TransFictionkin ? Dayo's heard of that one . . . Dayo recommends —

> getting ahold of the proper terminology used in the fictionkin / otherkin community ! there's a looot of different kinds of labels , so make sure it's a fictionkin you wanna be and not otherhearted or a synpath or anything of the sort ~

> deciding if you're a psychological or a spiritual fictionkin — are you canon compliant or do you align more with some kind of au / alternate universe ? what are your opinions on sourcemates and those you know from your source ? any fictional others / f/o's ?

> making up source memories ... space out and think of scenarios ! Dayo reccomends with music so you can associate certain songs with your kin ~ (⁎ᴗ͈ ⩊ ᴗ͈⁎) and if you can'f imagine / visualize just make things up off the top of your head and workshop them ! Making headcannons and applying them to your kin works just fine

> consuming media and consicously thinking "thats me" when your kin shows up on screen ! Do that around friends too — outwardly associate yourself with your kin . You don't have to state their a kin at all , just saying "that's literally me" does wonders ~
