Had a bit of kin euphoria yesterday, and it was about something that I don't think most people would think is related to otherkin stuff.
Contextβ for the past few months, I've been running. One mile a day, four days per week. It started off being fucking painful and draining and awful. Took around 17 minutes to run a mile at first. I have since shaved that time down to running the mile in 11 minutes, 32 seconds. I'm proud of that.
The reason I'm working out at all is because I'm a dragon. I have always believed that the body I'm in is weak and frail, especially compared to the strength I could have as a full dragon. So in order to reclaim some of that Draconic strength... I'm going to train my body and get it to some level of actual fitness. Not feeling frail would do more to ease my species dysphoria than anything else.
And that's what happened yesterday. All of my training has been done on a treadmill, indoors (I don't get out much. I'm one of those dragons that stays in her cave every day). Yesterday was one of the first times I ran outside WITHOUT a treadmill... So I actually had a frame of reference for how fast I was running and how my body felt doing it.
It felt like I was stepping on clouds. My body felt so LIGHT. It felt easy to move. After so many years of having weak legs, and growing up being unable to run at any speed faster than a jog, I finally felt like that issue was behind me. I've gained strength. My claws aren't digging into the earth beneath my feet as I run, and I'm not feeling the wind beneath my wings. But I feel more like a dragon now than I ever have.
As an ice dragon.... Probably permafrost?? But I would never actually seek it out as a meal or anything obviously
Alternatively, glacial sediment. Or sand/mud from lakebeds/riverbeds/seafloors. I could see those getting in my mouth when I eat, as I'm partially aquatic and most of my hunting takes place underwater.
I would prefer not to eat dirt tho thankyou
Well, lets see. As a Cybertronian, we don't really "eat dirt" per se.. though, we do consume plenty of minerals and types of rock.
As a canine/feline/vulpine entity, perhaps accidental dirt...? Such as, dirt that flies up into your snout when you're digging or rolling in the mud! Yes!
Barrenguider....? Like. I guide people through the barrens??? Does Nightwing-Me live in the desert?
You will be randomly assigned a NightWing name. Spin this wheel for your prefix (first part of your name) and then spin this wheel for your suffix (second part of your name).
(I got the name Marveladvisor... It's tolerable)
Sorry about the rant I'm just SO sick of this "we have to be on all the time never look away if you aren't upset about politics and traumatizing yourself watching people die on Twitter you're wrong and complicit and evil" like I know things are fucked and we need to stay angry but we can do that while also taking a minute to crack open a cold one with the boys or have gay sex or get tipsy at the line dance, we HAVE to have joy to remember why the fuck we're refusing to give up in the first place. Fight like hell for your loved ones and then also go home with them to smoke weed and drink sweet tea and make biscuits covered in honey and butter please, please don't deprive yourself of joy, you're allowed to be happy BEFORE the work is done. You're allowed to be happy.
Honestly, fucking amazing right now. Today was great. I ran until my lungs nearly gave out, and caught my second wind. I think this is what they call a runner's high? I could literally feel the wind under my wings. Gliding across my scales. It was breathtaking.
ok this wasnt very unhinged but im happy rn ok
Any creatures that would like to be pat, please reblog this post

My name is Ninian
Today I feel like a broken mirror, reflecting the moonlight
Sometimes I am a monster whose claws tear all they touch
And sometimes I am a place to lay down your head and rest
But always I am trying my best
I ask the world, "Who am I, really?"
And the answer is a broken mirror, reflecting the moonlight
i came across this post which is about a poetry template made for kids to get creative with words. its a cool poem, and altho it was obviously made for little kids i think a lot of alterhumans could also have fun with it! heres my entry, feel free to write your own in the reblogs or in a separate post ^^
My name is Talon
Today I feel like a swirling void floating aimlessly
Sometimes I am an inhuman creature whose shape is not its own
And sometimes I am a gentle beast that closes its eyes and stretches its wings under the warm sun
But always I am me.
I ask the world, βDoes anything matter?β
And the answer is
a swirling void floating aimlessly.
trans women don't listen to the haters. hrt will make your body hair thin out and your skin smoother and your teeth sharper and your sense of smell better and you'll start growing scales and wings and a tail and you'll be able to breathe fire
