Otherkin is community of individuals that identify as nonhuman in some distinct manner. We are NOT a community for works of fiction, roleplaying, or the furry fandom.
Hello, and welcome to /r/Otherkin. What is an otherkin? It's pretty simple, it's a human who identifies as something other than human. If all you know you learned on tumblr, do know, you're probably pretty far off base on what otherkin really are. Search around, simple questions have been answered multiple times.

So from a Very young age I’ve always seen myself as different or simply as other when I was young I started gaming under the term Spacebhabes Brattyalien envy alien etc I’ve always been super into space games movies alien technology all that but that’s not it I’ve never felt at home amongst humans just the way I think my spirituality but even how my body reacts certain things that make normal humans sick do-sent kill me or make me sick whereas things that wouldn’t typically render me highly ill could this be otherkin I also find myself being severely disrupted by the state of America I sense myself feelings other emotions so strongly they render me incapable to function and just my wisdom and outlook I feel as though I’ve aged years beyond my 27 and I just feel like I’m not normal not human I can’t be one of them can I ?
Does anyone else dislike having multiple kintypes? Like- I can’t just draw one of my kin types and be like “omg it’s me!!!” Cause my alien shifts are different than my vampire shifts and now I’m questioning if I’m an imp (not the commonly known Christian devil imp, but the Germanic fairy type imp). Same with my therianthropy, my fox shifts are different than my kitten shifts, it just feels so confusing and like- mentally overwhelming. I would love to just have one thing and be able to embrace that instead of being a complex thing of multiple types. OR have you ever had a shift of something ONCE and it never came back??? What tf does that mean?? I had a mermaid shift once and it hasn’t ever happened again. Idk any advice? Advice for embracing multiple kintypes or trying to learn more about your otherkinity spirituality? Tbh any advice is good :)
i grew big huge scaly wings, and couldn’t stop flapping them. It felt weird NOT to flap them. normally my wings are feathery and replace my arms, but these were really weird. I also just couldn’t stop flaring my nostrils which is weird but might be important. What are some animals with scaly wings? /genq
how do yall deal with homesickness?
i’m an alienkin and i constantly feel homesick, i just want to go back to my home planet.
i dont feel at home on this planet and the human body i am in is extremely uncomfortable.
The real vampire community is separate from otherkin, but is there still such a thing as vampirekin?
So I've been feeling really dysphoric lately I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for connecting to my kintype? Especially if there's simple gear I could make for cheap, like I have a little scarff for my neck fluff, stuff like that. Thanks
I recently heard a recap of the original The Fox and the Hound book and one thing I specifically remember hearing is Todd's kits dying (I can't remember the females name) and it is exactly how I died in my past life. My question is, would this be a theriotype or Fictionkintype? Because I'm pretty sure I'm one of THOSE kits that died by being gassed in our burrow.
I'm questioning (I've been doing a lot lately) and feel really connected to elves and just a void. I believe I may have once been both.
I want to know the different ways you connect so I can do those along with my research. Being in the dark or out in nature, ways to dress, anything. Or share your discovery experience. Either one.
Also have a wonderful day/night.
I'm a psychological Snow leopardkin. My connection to my kintype is always there but, it shifts quite a lot depending on my mental health. I've been going through a rough time recently. This normally causes me to feel even MORE connected to my kintype, but, this time is different. I feel very distant from my kintype, and it's honestly making me feel depressed. My sense of self is nowhere to be found, and I feel like I've been separated from my family.
What are things I can do to feel more connected to my kintype???
I don't understand how others manage to find solace in our community.
Those i have seen are either warmbloods or children.
Do you believe it is worth the effort to find community or is it better to continue in alone through this lifetime?
So I’ve kinda questioned this back and forth, I get euphoria from seeing the imps/succubi in Helluva Boss, and this has made me question if I’m demonkin. A few months back that lead me down a rabbit hole of religious research. If I’m a demonkin, the does that mean god is real? If god is real should I pretend I’m not demonkin and worship god? So that’s what I did (it was horrible, now I’m atheist). Now I’m revisiting the show and getting that same euphoria again. Seeing myself in these characters. I’ve had phantom horns, hooves, and bat wings in the past but I tended to ignore it cause it was a box I wasn’t ready to open. Now I’m questioning again: am I demonkin? If so, does that mean I should become a Satanist? While I do agree with the rules of non theistic satanism proposed from The Satanic Temple, I’ve struggled to actually believe in anything religious or spiritual outside of therianthropy and otherkinity. How can I embrace my demonkinity without the existential crisis of my lack of spirituality? I’d love to hear stories from other imp/succubi/demonkin and satanists!
TLDR; if I’m demonkin, what does that mean for my spirituality?
So, I am an angelkin and as such, want to find ways to connect with my angelic self. However, that is rather difficult to do when I am unable to remember anything about myself during that life. As a result, I am asking for help and methods in which I could try and recall memories from then if such a thing is possible (and ideally a legal solution that does not require any form of substances)
So basically, it is what it says on the tin.
Recently I've found out about otherkin and I think I'm demonkin. I've always felt this way since I was younger but I never knew about otherkin. I want to know how to connect with myself. Any tips?
(sorry if this is too personal)
what happened to make you fall?
Do you align with either side?
do you think it’s possible to repent as humans do?
Like the title says, I'm looking for other black kitsunekin/kumihokin, but any type of kumiho/kitsune will do!
This is my voidkin form!
I'm not a furry or otherkin myself, but I am trying to act in solidarity with Otherkin and Furries because many of my loved ones are either one or the other or identify as both, allyship isn't something I can label myself it's something that people of said community designate not me. I read over the group rules and I can leave the subreddit if this is for exclusively otherkin and it's an otherkin only space and I understand regardless, but is it okay if I stay joined or would I be invading a space by otherkin for otherkin? I'm open polyamorous and neurodivergent and LGBT (nonbinary who experiences anti female sexisn allied against transmisogyny because I'm tired of my transfemme nobinary folk experiencing exclusion and transwomen dealing with hostility, in terms of gender I float between various other nonbinary genders both conventional ones, microlabels, woman, xenogirl, ambigirl, demigirl, genderfluid and genderqueer, demiboy ambiboy, xenoboy, and man, panromantic, pansexual/bisexual/demisexual/aceflux who goes between being hypersexual and attracted to people I just ment and not being attracted to people and experiencing sex repulsion) even with all of the issues I still carry an immense amount of privilege compared to otherkin or furries and I don't believe in intruding in places exclusively for various groups and I won't make this groups boundaries about me. If I am here I intend to learn and not start discourse.
Is there a term or thing already associated with feeling both like spacey and like nature at the same time. ( Sorry I can't put this into words better and sorry if this has already been asked:( ) I know I am a otherkin, and am a vampirekin but I just need this cleared up.
Good morning !
I'm looking for a winged people that someone had shown in one of their live shows. I think this might be my kintype, so I'm looking.
Are they humans? With large wings of multiple colors, deer horns or antlers, a lion's tail, feet/paws like those of cats?
My description is very bad, but that's all I have left as a memory. And I apologize in advance for the fact that I cannot properly explain what I saw.
Here's a drawing that looks approximately like what I'm looking for, but it's missing the horns, the tail and the right legs.
Title speaks for itself, I’ve just been talking about this one character a lot recently and now I’m feeling an astral shift from them, just wondering if there’s a correlation or something or if it’s just a coincidence
In curious to know any theories as to why most kin/therians are wolves and or some form of k-9 equivalent.
Does anyone have any outfits ideas for a 14 year old black boy who elfkin is a purple skin winged elf boy that can shape shift.into any animal or person
Is it possible to be kin of a cell, not kinsidering my friend just asked during a science lesson and now I actually need to know… there probably is because you can be spiritual or psychological kin of basically anything. Also if anyone is pls tell me about it :D
When I think of myself, I don’t see my physical body, I see this being (I say being because I don’t know the species but I really want to find out what it is). If I were to close my eyes and think about how I truly view myself, I see myself as a very pale being with black horns and black and white eyes. I get times where I feel horns on my head and I feel a lot more like this being. I often feel this energy around me, it’s a physical feeling, and when it happens I get flashes of images of myself in this form. This is only some of my experience. I’ve felt this way since I was little and I want to know if this is Otherkin, and if it is, how can I figure out what species?
I decided to edit this to tell you more
Facts I know about the species: Doesn’t like to be seen very much, doesn’t like eye contact with people, has existed before having a form but just lived as nothing before getting a form (sorry if this isn’t a good explanation), can shapeshift but only has a couple forms that it can shapeshift into, feels most happy at night
Ok, so I'm a (fallen) angelkin and I've genuienly been feeling somewhat dysphoric lately. Far from the "Oh woe for I shall never again be myself" but rather a ceaseless, unending ache that feels as if something is always wrong, always off. Frankly, it has infuriated me for the past few days and I want no more of it.
So, with this context, I wish to ask for advice; what things would anyone reading this reccomend to quell this feeling or dysphoria or even induce euphoria (because, well, I have nothing that grants me euphoria at the moment)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I extend my gratitude and any possible blessings to you.
Hello again!
So, I'm an alter-human Main Coon and I'm sure I'm otherkin too. But I can't find it.
For a few months I thought I was a Demon, then some sort of enchanter, but after a while, I realize that it's not me.
And I can't figure out what it is.
I already have shifter with deer wings, horns, antlers and tail, big teeth, sort of claw fingers, with black skin color (really black, please, no misunderstanding )
Brief. I shift with anything and everything. But no feeling really stays for long. Any advice? What can I do to find myself? I know it's going to last a long time, and I'm willing to wait. But I want to find myself. I no longer have an idea in which to delve...
Good morning !
I am an alterhuman currently being researched. And I heard about voidkins.
Voidkins have a sort of black mass with glowing eyes that can take any shape?
My explanations really suck but I would like to have ideas. How do voidkins feel when they shift? Do you have any “tips” with which you shift more?
Since december, 2023, ive called myself a therian. But nowadays, therian feels like a strong term. Like yeah, i feel like an animal in ways. But identify is too strong of a word. Connection fits me more. I definitely feel like i identify with an animal more than as it. Im otherkin for aliens, and yes, i identify as an alien on a nonphysical level. But the feeling between my otherkinity and my therianthropy are different. I dont identify as a dog. Do yall think this could be otherhearted? cuz i think it is but i could also be confusing myself.
Ever just listening to Spotify recommended and a song comes on and the singer sounds EXACTLY like your kintype Like sub urbans part in Inferno, NOT IN ANY OTHER SONG DOES HE SOUND EXACTLY LIKE I DID this isn’t the only one, just the only song I remember the name of. DO I NEED TO COPYRIGHT THE VOICES OF MY PAST LIVES NOW WTF?!
