โขBeing otherkin is a most unique experience, with much unique knowledge to be shared. Do feel free to share the experiences you have had with otherkinity!
I kinda get that, though I'm not Dollkin, but I have a kintype that sometimes I just... it's weird, but I simultaneously want to explore and be it and know it, and also want it to go away. Honestly not sure on the advice end of things though, just tossing in that you're not alone in your experience.
Feelings around identity can be difficult to navigate though, perhaps in time youโll be able to better understand those feelings, or theyโll start to make sense.
so while brushing teeth, I thought of something
for the long necked, snake like neck otherkind out there. Do you move your head as if you still have your long, flexible neck when doing various activities like eating, brushing teeth, inspecting objects?
as usually one would move their hands, or perhaps lower the body top, or maybe tilt the head down, instead of only moving the head back and forth or as if one has a chicken/seal neck(edited)
i never really thought about it before but i guess i do now that im thinkin about it, i always try to curl my neck around when im sleeping and it just gets uncomfortable lolol
Here's the weird thing: my dragon self didn't have a particularly long neck. BUT my Plateosaurus theriotype did have a long neck, and sometimes it blurs over into my dragon shifts...
And yes, yes I do sometimes try to move my head like I still have the long neck.
Yes yes. I get very frustrated with it sometimes. My neck is all wrong.
Also, I have EDS and it makes it hard to swallow sometimes, and doing the bird head tilt thing actually helps with that so I do that a lot

I also have the impulse to pick things up with the beak I donโt have. Or with my feet
Yes yes yes my short stubby ape neck is actually one of my key points of dysphoria. Being unable to crane my head and neck around or behind me drives me bonkers sometimes. Dx
Except the one that's been on my mind is more alive, it has microphones and mechanical eyes inside the cockpit and can pick up/move things about with several dozen robotic limbs stored under each wings
I'm quite used to have the odd "sit-on-tail" feeling.. on the other side, I've realized that I can pretty much flush lie on my back because the tail doesn't so much protrude from the body, but rather body and tail are a single compound unit. What actually protrudes are the legs...
itโs one of those things that is a really cool shifting experience to your fellow otherkind. And yeah, atm it wasnโt too fun, but it makes for nice story and cool concept idea.
I cannot tell you how much I feel for Dracozolt the pokemon at the very moment when I got stuck with a eastern dragon body with a chonkass western dragon hindquarders, on biped.
oh, fitting for the horror theme
have anyone have where they are split half and half in shift?
vertically, one side of you is dragon, the other, well, depends on how it works for you, it was just this sense of wrongness and void.
