Despite quite a few customized dragon models that match my inner self perceptions as a dragon/dragoness, I still feel most comfortable defaulting to a flammie model as my main identity in VR, it just feels most welcoming, or natural to me. There is no spiritual canon, nor personal mythos for it, its just a flammie version of myself. I have a lot of fun as her. ^.=.^

A personal retexture of the Azalea dragon model, I recolored her to the best of my abilities to match my self perception as Rashau. Rashau was a quadrupedal feral dragon, so I just went pink and blue with the clothing as I usually do for her^^

An azalea dragon model, default color scheme, she matches up pretty nicely to how I see myself internally, as an amalgam of my two dragon awakenings Korageth / Rashau.

Still Alive, Thoughts

Reflections on 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDs7H1IhQCs *Looks around* I still don't know how to use tumblr, the whole reblog thing just confuses me, do not expect any response if you reply to this^^' just talking out loud essentially, I'm old, bring back forums^^' I'm still most active on VRChat / Discord / Twitter, but trying to slowly integrate Mastodon and Tumblr into my routine occasionally. I noticed Othercon happened this prior weekend, it made me nostalgic to think of.. I'm not sure what place I have in the dragonkin community after my little freak out last year, but rawr.. Kind of day dreaming of "Maybe" updating my old 2011 dragonkin guide a little. I'm still paranoid that someday, after the trans panic, furries/otherkin/therians may be next on the hate train, so I want to speculate on that fear and possible responses when/if the time comes (will recommend organizing/networking etc) Also, gender identity in relation to kintype(s) was always intended but I wasn't brave enough to write on such in the decade prior, it's better late then never^^' Possible Future Guide Additions: 1: Perceived changes in otherkin culture -Jafira is old 2: Gender identity in relation to kintypes and pluralism 3: Concern of future social ostracism. 4: VR, AR, AI and the near future benefits to kin Present otherkin guide 2018 version: http://www.jafiradragon.com/Jafira-Draconity-Guide.pdf

Lv 39. Dragonkin, since age 10. Was not a phase.

Reblog if you’re an Otherkin/Therian over 18.

And add you age to the tags, please.

I read somewhere in that otherkin is just a phase and that all of them are minors, and now I’m curious, how many of you folks are over 18?

Thanks.

Amalgam of my two perceived dragonkin awakenings re-imagined for VR. I have been feeling more comfortable identifying draconically as female in recent years, so gave her Rashau’s gender expression, optimism and energy, alongside Korageth’s scales, mind and pride. Alongside my flammie model in VR (just a flammie version of above) I have been somewhat gradually rebranding, or expressing myself more as this dragoness. I feel it is easier for others to identify me as one individual dragon, then to see me as divided or constantly juggling between dragon/gender identities. To my perception she is both of my draconic awakenings in one flesh, so is the best representation of my spiritual duality at this time. Model is a retextured Kudadragon: https://kudalyn.gumroad.com/l/kudragon

About a year ago around this week, I had some relationship problems and sudden frightening life changes strike me.. At the time it felt as though all I ever knew was collapsing, my world burning in flames around me over the course of a single week.. Emotional, sleepless and erratic I came to this and other platforms to lash out at the unfamiliar and at those I didn’t understand, bitterly punching down at my allies in a desperate attempt to grasp for some false sense of control over my spiraling life. ..It was not my finest moment. I spent a lot of time in the virtual world above around then, and afterwards, just staring at the sea and virtual nature, reflecting on things, my past, the future, the present.. Lots of deep talks and deep thoughts were spent in worlds and environs similar to that, just sorting through my wrongs and what place I have in our changing world. A year later, the world feels a bit darker, but I am still growing, I live in a time where it is easier to be myself then it was in the 90′s or early 2000′s, I want to keep fighting to protect this world that we built and to help it be even more free for those who will come after. Even if my anxiety only allows me to simply have a silent presence here and and not much else I at least hope that presence may still remind some that they are not alone.

Never cease to be yourselves, keep fighting for a brighter tomorrow. Reflections on 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDs7H1IhQCs

Female Jafira, (Korashau) shared earlier, she is a re-texture of a dizzy-kobold model. : Loved the world, I spend a lot of my free time in VRChat searching for the most beautiful or graphically impressive worlds I can find, it’s a relaxing hobby of mine. Model: https://damoderg.gumroad.com/l/QPygy

A couple years ago, I had a migraine, nothing abnormal, I’m prone to them and get a migraine at least once or twice a week. This particular migraine I went outside to my car and took a nap in the back seat as it was quieter then in my home. I had a dream that a white iridescent western dragoness came and spoke to me, she introduced herself as “Yesha” and she gave me tender comfort and soothing words. When I woke the migraine was gone. I remembered her name and beautiful appearance. This re texture was based loosely on her appearance as tribute to that memory. Model: https://forestwind.booth.pm/items/3418491
