Otherkin / therians / other-hearts

@Rook your shapeshifter description reminds me a bit of how the aliens were described in the book Axiom's End, you should check it out!

I'm a feline cladotherian and I feel some degree of kinship with all members of the Felidae family, but it's strongest with the Pantherinae subfamily so when I picture my theriotype it's usually one of them. For the past few years jaguars have felt the closest and are usually my go-to mental image of myself

hello! i’m lamprey other- hearted (yes, for serious) and, if fictionkin are allowed in this thread, rundas from metroid prime 3 and possibly zero from the mega man series. 

i’ve always felt connected to robots and aliens, feeling alone in this world and like i obviously do not belong in a human body. + i’m currently playing the mega man zero games, and the more i find out about zero the more things eerily line up with me. for me, ‘kin is both a spiritual (reincarnation) belief, and something neurological.

I used to think I was a feline cladotherian, but I kept coming back to the image of a regular cat. Big cats are definitely beautiful and I have mad respect for them, but I just didn't feel comfortable identifying with the clade, especially since my prominent theriotype is the wolf.

Hi there! I don't see why fictionkin wouldn't be allowed here, so make yourself at home. I think it's pretty neat and while I'm not fictionkin myself, I'm down to learn about them.

Hello! I am not 100% sure what I am but I have always felt that am some kind of animal, I have constantly asked others about it but I always get a answer a long the lines of, " EW, why would you want to be a dog? Do you want to have Treat little doggy?" And stuff which I am mostly fine with but it felt degrating so I closed off that part of me but in the most recent year I have seen a lot more of this and I finally got up the courage to try it out again with a much Friendly community. Soooo basically I have always felt more connected to Mostly Canines and big cats. I don't know if it is " Normal" or not to feel connected to dogs and felines but I do and I have no idea what to make of it. 

Hello everyone! My strongest 'type is a chimera creature thats physically very much like a large winged cat. Ive never found anyone whoes exactly what I am but I relate a lot to cat therians, wolf therians, and dragonkin. I'm also an osprey therian.

I have several other kintypes that are a bit muddier, I'm always trying to pin down exactly what they are and if somethings a fictionflicker or something. Been in the kinmunnity for years, but never had a strong web presence or conenction to a soecific area in the community so I know a lot but dont have much recongnition lol. 

I really hope I can make more alterhuman friends on here! I really want to have the feeling of being in a strong community of people with shared experiences. Feel free to dm me

@crazystar its normal to feel connected to both! I always get people asking me why I bark when I'm a cat, when really im a chimera thats both feline and canine, just Primarily feline... it sucks when people think dogs and cats have to be opposites when theyre really not! Its possible youre a polytherian or that you kin a creature with both feline and canine traits, maybe something fantasy or even something like a fox.

Hello all! He/They and a wolf therian!

Although right now it's a little weird, i always thought it was just a regular wild wolf, however lately in my dreams i've been taking on the form of an anthropomorphic wolf who looks the exact same as how i've generally seen "myself" and i'm in a bit of a questioning state.

Here's a question for y'all, do your preferred diets tend to match up with your kintype's species or no?

I definitely eat a lot of meat, probably more than i should tbh.
