Musings on Animality
“The Fall of the Therian and Otherkin Communities” (5/5/2021) The idea that just because some or even many people desire within a given community to have a litmus test of sorts to ‘prove’ or officially ‘become’ a *personal* identity (that, of course, can have social identity aspects due to there

“The Plasticity of Otherkin” (6/7/ 2021) To clarify, in this writing I’m using “plasticity” to refer to changes that can occur, particularly psychologically, in the experience and/or identity of being otherkin (and related identities). This does not mean that such changes are by conscious choice (though maybe they can be
“My Angel Aspect” (7/18/21) So a thought occurred to me regarding why I don’t consider myself to have an angel ‘kintype. And really, I’m not sure I have a good reason (for myself). This isn’t me, to clarify, stating that I do have an angel ‘kintype, at least not yet,
“Humanimality” (7/9/2021) So I’ve been watching various shows lately, skipping between different ones or different episodes or seasons, to the whims of my mind, but they generally have some element of human animality in them, and it’s interesting to me to compare and contrast how that theme is handled in
“Behind a Vampiric Grin” (10/16/2013 & 4/16/2021) Journeying into writing some on the psyche of the blutpir (and specifically myself as a blutpir otherkin), to get further in depth about some of what it is like and entails beyond just outward behavior and [perceived] appearance. One of the most notable
“Being Blutpir” (April 14, 2021) It occurred to me after reading parts from my past vampirekin and monstrosity writings that I have never written a more straight-forward piece about what it is like for me to be vampirekin and that’s something I want to do (so thus this writing). Specifically,
“Emerging from the Desert” (4/10/2021) For about a decade I have chronically struggled with progressively worsening depression. I was initially diagnosed with depression in fall of 2009 and was put on Zoloft shortly after which allowed me to feel like myself again and function normally, including having a notable bout
“Where Gender & Animality Meet” (5/29/2018 & 2/3/2021) I periodically get times of trying to figure out what to call my gender and how to explain it well. Of the established terms, demifemale maybe the closest one I’ve found. Recently I came across the term “xenogender” and noticed it can

“On Being Monster-Hearted” (5/28/2018) I haven’t yet used the term “-kith/-hearted” for myself, maybe because I didn’t know what connection of mine was personally fitting of the term/concept. There are numerous animals which I hold deep, lasting connections with that aren’t theriotypes: crows, antelopes, red canids (dholes, Ethiopian wolves), among
“Deconstructing the Raptor” by Nomad, written 1/9/2011 My theriotype is Deinonychus antirrhopus, a brand of raptor dinosaurs. Needless to say, it’s not the most common one amongst therians, so I want to share some thoughts on how it feels in the inside, and try to discover which things are similar
