Thought I’d kick things off here with a hiya post, and share one of my favourite artworks of my fursona/me (I’m otherkin!) while I was at it!

Let me know if a general “hi!” post is beyond scope for the community!

This particular image is from a scene in a dream I had that essentially “made” me otherkin. Here’s a little snippet for flavour;


Waking up from the conciousness switch was definitely disorienting to say the least, but after a few weeks of physical therapy and heavy monitoring, I was finally allowed to head out and explore, unsupervised, even! I was still slightly unsteady on my feet, but I could walk well enough.

Walking around the ship was definitely interesting, and I was learning a lot about the culture I’d found myself newly a member of. I’d been given the basics, of course. But the small part of me that was still human was amazed at the technology around me, I just kind of had to take a seat at a nearby café…

I suppose I should mention that the art is by Ein AKA Knucklebone! https://knucklebone.art/

    Hey! Welcome, and thanks for sharing your artwork! I’ve heard of people having dreams that feel very long form, did you feel as though you experienced all that time adjusting from physical therapy and getting used to your new body? If so, wow, that must have been a crazy dream to wake from.

      oh absolutely! It felt like I was living that life for months!

      Initially I only remembered flashes of it when I woke up, key parts I guess? Every so often I’ll be in a Situation™️ and I just get a flashback kinda thing go on. I have like 2 blog posts on it I’m considering putting up in the Otherkin community as it kinda ties to that rather than furry
