This is an official clan thread for the Otherkin and therians of LD Clan!

Fellow non-humans welcome to our clan!
I have to start with some rules here.
• Be nice please and no hate! Don’t come here if you’re planning to insult otherkin and therians.
And that’s all :p
We’ll continue with a bit of theory for newcomers.

What is Otherkin?



“Otherkin (sometimes called "otherkind") are those who identify in some nonphysical way as nonhuman or not fully human, more specifically beings who do not currently exist on earth (though it is often used as an umbrella term). This identity is often considered to be involuntary” (from otherkin wiki)
You can be everything: a vampire, an angel, a demon, an elf, a fairy, a fae, a dragon – everything!
“Otherkin are often referred to as kin for short. A kintype is the kin identifies as. As stated above being otherkin is very personal and beliefs of cause and experience vary from one individual to another. Some may believe their soul is a mixture of more than one species (hybridkin) and others may have more than one kintype (polykin). The otherkin community is a very diverse community that has many different beliefs and opinions.” (from otherkin wiki too c:)

What is Therian?



“Modern Therianthropy is an identity phenomenon categorized by a deep integral or personal belief that an individual is in some way and to some degree, a non-human earthly animal. Physically, Therianthropes are human and understand that they have human bodies. It is also agreed upon that a Therian can not pick and choose a theriotype, the animal which is an individual's identity.” (wiki again c:)
You can be any animal – wolf, owl, domestic cat, crocodile, hamster, shark, crow, turtle, or even some kind of an extinct dinosaur – basically any animal! It all depends on which animalistic experience you have.
Your identity can be psychological or spiritual, you can have two or more theriotypes, and you may shift or may not – there’s a lot to learn about therians c:
Okay, done with the terms! You’re free to research these topics if you’re interested in them, in your free time.

Let’s move on to the clan itself!


To start please introduce yourself!

• Tell us what is your nickname and what your kintype/theriotype is!
If you want to, tell a small story of how you awakened, and what is your experience with your alterhumanity, it will be interesting to hear c:

What will the clan do? When we have a lot of members, we’ll be doing cool raffles, helping each other with food and toys, and of course, talking here!

Please feel right at home, fellow non-human c: This is a safe place for us!
And sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, I’m from a non-English-speaking country.

I’ll start with myself!
Hello! My nickname is Jahaira, she/her, adult, social introvert (and yes that exists). I am a lionkin (no wonder I love Lioden :p).

Awakened 3 years ago as a psychological therian. I experience mostly phantom shifts, sometimes mental.

I like to do quads, though my leg trauma from childhood was not made for that c: I like to think that quads are just physical practice so my leg can be trained a bit.

Interesting fact: when I was watching the 2019 TLK remake in the cinema I was getting a crazy lot of mental shifts I (hardly) somehow managed to suppress :D Gosh the cinema was full of people :D Just wanted to jump into the movie so bad and slap them all with a mighty paw :D I love this movie much more that the animated original (don’t come at me please).

And also: I struggle to tell people outside of the therian community about my leonine side… I can’t say even that lions are just my favorite animals (though my fav animal is not a lion irl, though it is who I am). Those people will just think I’m like a stereotypical cartoonish “king lion” wearing a crown and royal mantle – selfish and snobbish wanna-be-royalty, who is unpleasant to talk to :c Why? Do they all just watch silly cartoons? Watch some documentaries, you people, to see that lions are just awesome family cats, hunting, sleeping and raising cubs… At least on Lioden I feel PAWsome :D End of runt c:

What are your stereotypes you came across while speaking about your kintype/theriotype?

Hi! My name is highvisceral, or just visc! I'm very new to otherkin and alterhuman culture, but ive felt a degree of nonhumanity all my life. Suspected kintypes are werewolf and tbh (yes, the autism creature), but theres splashes of robot and big cat. not sure how to describe anything quite yet, haha! I feel a phantom limb sensation around my paws, or something along those lines. I'm still not sure how I fit into this community but I'm eager to learn :]

I'm Stargayzer/Stargazer (I mostly go by Angel online though), and my 'types are coyotekin and angelkin. I've probably been experiencing phantom shifts since at least middle school, but I only found out about the community less than a year ago.
I do a little bit of quadobics, but I'm definitely not an expert XD
Anyway it's nice to meet you all!

Welcome Stargayzer!
Glad to see a kin that is doing quads :D I once dreamed of being able of quad running c: Could only walk and trot. Tried hard to learn how to do it, step by step. And not so long ago I could do it in a blinding shift - nearly bumped at the door :D So it's practice and practise~

I'm happy this clan grows Thanks for joining, fellows!

( i just sent my request!)

hi! i go by <☆nobody_important☆> on here, or just Nobody, my pronouns are they them or xe/xem, i have severe ADHD, so if what im writing makes no sense thats probably the reason (i also cant spell for the life of me lol)

my types are a raven and a bison (NOT A BUFFALO. THEY ARE DIFFERENT.), and ive been a therian since before i even knew what it was, and i've been doing quads since i was around 6 ish years old, and iv'e never met any other therians untill now!

i usually feel I have wings, or some sort of tail and horns!! ( i know these are shifts, i just dont know what kinds yet)

i am also very good at raven/crow vocals!

hopefully i fit into this clan! :D

Welcome Nobody! c:
These are cool theriotypes :o I once had cameo phantom shift of wings for a moment, it was awesome~
Oh and vocals! Good for you~

Someone tell me just how to do lions roar without hurting throat xD In this case I find the sound of roars on yt and open my mouth to it silently, as if that is me doing the sound c: Recommend this method to anyone who can't do vocals c: It feels relieving (and family and neighbors won't be scared for life xD)

Would any of you know how to kinfirm? having a lot of trouble pinning down stuff and was wondering if any of you have a process to causing shifts, getting a clear mental image, etc

From my experience I can recommend movies/videos/books/fanfiction/whatever with your supposed kintypes as characters, it can click something like 'I wish I looked like that, lived like that, that is me etc'. I mostly shift while watching documentaries and listening to music~
As of confirming types, maybe try to write all your phantom shifts in a little diary for a few days? More shifts of that kintype? It can really be your true kintype. Only one shift of another kintype occured and never returned? That's a cameo shift, not really a true kintype, it happens. (I once felt wings, but I don't identify as a winged creature, not enough shifts c: But lion phantoms do appear often, so I'm sure about it~)
Mental image.. Personally I don't know either... But I know some of my therian friends learned about how their theriotypes looked like through dreaming. They were able to see their fur color.
I never get dream shifts, I can't say more about it, maybe someone else in this clan can explain more ^^ Though I can recommend meditation (can really help with shifts), or even astral projection (I just started to learn it rn)

Hi hi!
my name is chaos or tails and I'm fictionkin/otherkin!
my kin types are tails the fox, and a night fury but I'm also thinking about canines and felines because I know I have some sort of connection there but I haven't really been able to find one that stuck with me but um I've always had a deeper connection to those types of animals/characters and even as a kid i used to walk on all fours (that was before i was bullied out of it) and i don't think I've ever really experienced mental shifts but i do sometimes have phantom wings,ears, and tail!

Hello! I'm HitTheTarget, and I'm therian, fictionkin, and otherkin! I could probably go on all day about my kintypes, but the main ones are: oceanic sunfish, bubble-eye goldfish, american brahman, chupacabra, an Arcade Zombie from PvZ2, and a Piglin Brute from Minecraft! I don't really know when I awakened, since I dissociate a lot and have a funky memory because of it.
I permanently have phantom ears like a american brahman and love to "stim" [for lack of a better word] with them! I occasionally experience phantom tails and claws, but those are pretty rare /srs
