Otherkin

I’ll go first: my favorite part of being a dragon is that it means dragons are real, even if we only exist in human shapes.

I find it annoying when I can feel my tail hanging on my back, but I know that it doesn't exist. I can sometime feel pain with my tail, especially when I am in positions where my tail would've been crushed if it existed.

It would've been cool if the phantom sensation of my tail could've been more than a phantom sensation...

I am still figuring myself out but I am mainly voidkin, a shapeshifting entity made of void (examples of other forms are a dragon and a crow). Pleased to be here!

I don't know if this post will get any traction from other otherkins/therians, but...

I know this question is cliché, but could I be an otherkin?

Sometimes, I can feel a sort of phantom tail and fur on my body like right now. And sometimes, I am disappointed that I'm not really an anthro raccoon, that I don't have the same ability as them and me doing anything raccoon-like would be seen as weird. And sometimes, I feel weirdly excited at the idea of me being an anthro raccoon.

The thing is, all of that only happen sometimes. Not being an anthro raccoon doesn't make me miserable, definitely not as much as my gender (I'm transgender). I can live as humans. While there is some weird energy sometimes, most of the time, I'm not interested with the idea of me becoming an anthro racc. But I wouldn't mind becoming an anthro raccoon...
