Don’t worry about it, it’s always refreshing to hear from nice anons.
No, not everybody is otherkin. The explanation for why that is will vary from person to person, but since I think of it as a spiritual thing I’ll use that to explain it. I am currently aware of three of my past lives. In one of those past lives I was a dragon and because that past life had such a big impact on my soul that I would genuinely call it a dragon’s soul, I consider myself dragonkin. In a different past life I was a seagull. That life is a lot fuzzier, and while I consider it an important part of my spiritual cycling it didn’t make a huge impact on my soul as a whole and I am therefore not a seagull therian.
I do think some people experience the same things I do and will never know that it’s an experience they share with others. Other people will experience similar feelings and label them using words from their own experiences/religion/spirituality. Neither of those people are otherkin though, because that’s not the label they choose to use.
As for only certain people experiencing it, yes and no. My soul was very strongly shaped by my life as a dragon. Any time I tried to understand the concept of my soul or my spirit I thought of a dragon, and because my soul remembers that form it occasionally tries to conceptualize my human body as a dragon’s, leaving me with a sort of echo of the feeling of what that body was like. Realizing that I was otherkin was a matter of finding out about otherkin. Other people may experience their past lives less strongly or require certain triggers to remember. Some people might have newer souls, or not have had any lives that created that kind of deep impact, or maybe that deep impact is their current life and that’s stronger than any residual lives. I’ll be honest - I don’t know. I’m me, not anybody else, so I can’t vouch for others’ experiences.
Thanks for the ask anon, and I hope I cleared that up for you.

First off, you’ve misunderstood what otherkin are. If you were a soldier in the American revolution you were human, and otherkin are not human (with the general exception of fictionkin). The community you’re looking for would be one that includes those who were human. You’ll be able to find support there that is more catered to what you need.
If you feel like you’re losing your sense of self you need to seek professional help. This isn’t me saying you’re crazy or you should be in an asylum - you need help because you need to figure out why you’re losing your grip on what is real and what isn’t. It could be a mental illness, or it could be a mental illness combining with your memories of a past life to cause what you’re describing. I’ve been to therapists, they have all been incredibly kind and they are always ready and willing to provide help that I can’t as someone who is not a professional in the field of psychiatry.

I’m a human who was a dragon. Which you’d know if you’d gone through my blog.

This blog’s been dead for years dude, but let me set you straight. For one, spirit animals and kintypes aren’t even remotely similar beyond a few surface features. From what I understand spirit animals act as guides and are directly related to religious/spiritual beliefs. Otherkin believe that they are in some non-physical way their kintype, like for example I believe that I lived a life as a dragon and died and now I’m here. It can also be totally separate from religion/spirituality, even though for a lot of us it isn’t.
And no we can’t just pick a kintype at random. It’s a process of figuring out who you are and who your kintype was and for a lot of us that takes years. It’s a complicated process of separating what you want to be true from what is true, often involves figuring out where one kintype/past life ends and the other begins, and should never be ‘Hey I like raw fish that means I was a seal’.
If someone takes what we say out of context that’s on them not us. If some kid misunderstands otherkinity they’re confused and again, not the community’s fault. If people want to believe trolls they want to believe trolls. Not our responsibility to hide ourselves so that they can’t mock people.
Schrodinger’s Otherkin
When a non-kin says that you are not an animal, but at the same time you are somehow a human; the only way to be human while not being an animal is to be a skeleton, but since they are speaking to otherkin and attempting to get their attention, it is clearly implied (if not outright stated) that they also deem otherkin to be alive. Otherkin are therefore, in the minds of anti-kin, simultaneously alive and dead.
Alternatively Referred to as “All Otherkin Are Secretly Skeletons While Anti-Kin Are Just Fuckbois”
”It’s people like you that make people not take trans seriously, you’re not a fucking wolf or any shit like that, you are a human. If you wanna be some made up shit, then cool. But don’t go telling people like if it’s normal, cause it’s the most stupid shit that I have ever heard. I wish people that thought they we’re something else then human would shut the fuck up. If your an animal then live like one and go into the wild and never come back. It would make a lot of people happy” -my-unicorn-baby
Really? Because, in my experience, everyone who has knows I am otherkin and knows I am transgender takes me just as seriously as any non-kin, cisgender individual. They certainly don’t seem to take the non-kin transgender individuals around me any differently, either.
No, you know who’s part of the problem? People like you.
People who propagate these ridiculous ideas that a) human beings aren’t animals, which literally goes against our species’ classification and basic biology, b) that spiritual beliefs, something that has existed in our culture for almost as long as our existence, are somehow not “normal” and c) that opinions that don’t inherently involve gender identity somehow, in someway, equate to and harm gender identity. Well, whether you claim to be trans or cis, I hate to be the one to tell you that there is quite a lot more to gender identity than opinions. A lot more. And if someone believes in reincarnation, or souls, or god, well, that’s not making “people not take trans seriously,” as you so eloquently put. That’s someone living their life and holding their beliefs and really not doing much else in this context.
Now…
3 away from bingo. Alas!
I love that otherkin bingo thing. Do you have a version that doesn’t have anything other than the Free Space marked?
It’s even rainbow.

Unfortunately I may not be of much help to you. I’ve pretty much always known that I was otherkin, I just didn’t have a word for it at the time. My only trouble was when I was confused as to why the dragon had a beak that didn’t fit, and that was more of a self-introspection kind of discovery when I found the answer. Most people trying to figure out astral limbs and such use meditation, which can be a helpful tool provided you have the time and dedication necessary. Again, I don’t have a lot of experience in this so I’m going to link you here, to another post by seriousotherkin that should guide you on how to meditate.
And yes, “uwu be whatever you want uwu” is a terrible answer that will get you all kinds of inaccurate results. It’s not about what you want. It’s about who you are. Thank you for not taking that advice.

I suppose the best way to put this would be that you don’t need to be like the other demonkin to be one.
Part of what you’re seeing is something that comes along with a lot of the more common kintypes, where people just decide that they think being demonkin is ‘cool’ and ‘edgy’ so they decide that they want to be demonkin (which, as we all know, isn’t how it works.). It’s the same idea that causes trouble for wolf/fox/cat therians, dragonkin, and fictionkin as a whole, and while it’s awful there isn’t much we can do to prevent it. A lot of people in these kin groups have expressed disgust with much of the community (on tumblr and elsewhere) because it’s full of people who don’t have any idea what otherkin are who just think it sounds cool. So you’re likely running into people with the ‘Demons are cool so I’m gonna claim to have been a demon and people will think I’m cool’ mentality, and your experience as someone who has taken this seriously is different from those types of people.
Another thing to keep in mind is that otherkin all have different experiences. Some dragonkin were water dwellers, others lived in caves, some made their homes in forests, but all of them are dragonkin. Your kinself doesn’t have to have been like someone else’s for you to be demonkin, so don’t worry about that one too much.
As for openly identifying, I’d encourage you to wait until you’re comfortable with it before trying to discuss it with others. I identified as dragonkin for at least a year before I really considered making this blog, and even then it took me ages before I finally did it. It’s a very personal part of yourself and not one that’s easy to share when you know that people get attacked for it.
Making peace with being otherkin can be, well, difficult. I fought it pretty hard at first, if truth be told. It’s a weird concept, and my personal spiritual/religious beliefs at the time said that while it was okay for other people to believe in reincarnation, it wasn’t okay for me. (Which, of course, means that I wasn’t really alright with it. But hey, I’ve learned, that’s what’s important.) Try to figure out why you feel like you can’t make peace with being demonkin, and then ask yourself if that’s a good enough reason to deny who you are. Accepting it isn’t easy and it has to come from you. I can’t tell you to accept who you are, just that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being otherkin. There is nothing to be ashamed of for being who you are.

Hello again! Otherkin is a strange concept for a lot of people, it’s completely understandable. I’m glad to have been of assistance.
Anonymous asked:
I’ve definitely considered how ridiculous I sound, otherkin is a pretty weird concept, especially for people like me who grew up in an atheist household. The whole concept is pretty strange, and a lot of otherkin get that. We’re just a group of people who have done our best to find an answer for why we feel like we’re non-human. We understand that it sounds strange to people who aren’t otherkin, and that’s fine as long as they aren’t rude about it.
As for my memories, I think I remember my body/physical attributes at the time, some kind of language not much like human language, a lot of flying, what is best described as an incredibly long life spent mostly looking for new experiences, and a hoard of books. But I’m a bit hesitant to call them memories, mostly because the human brain is very, very good at deceiving itself. I try not to say that I have any definite memories because I’m not certain that that’s what they are. The only thing that I know for certain is that my soul is a dragon’s soul, and my best explanation for that is reincarnation, so that’s what I’ve stuck with. Trust me, I know, it sounds really weird.
I’m also very much aware that dragons are mythological creatures, yes. My explanation is that through the multiverse theory, there could definitely be a universe out there where beings similar to our mythological dragons can and do exist, and that my soul was once incarnated as a dragon there, and when I died there my soul eventually made it’s way to live in the human body I have now. The multiverse theory is pretty hotly contested, but it does have some very credible backers.
Normal has a pretty broad definition. By mine, sure, this is perfectly normal because it’s who I am. The idea of reincarnation in and of itself isn’t exactly unheard of, and like I said the multiverse theory is backed by a few very well known individuals. So my beliefs are grounded in things that can be considered normal, yeah. You probably don’t believe that it’s normal, and that’s cool too. Most people would probably agree with you.
I hope that answered your questions, but if not please feel free to talk to me again, I’d love to be able to help.
