Anonymous asked: Hey Jenn. You never got back to me about reconnecting with memories from my past life. It was obviously a dark life, since I had murdered quite a few people. The few memories I have are disturbing and very vivid. How do I learn more without resorting to reacting my past experiences? I would appreciate any advice you can give me, since it is your blog after all that taught me that all this is within the realm of possibility. Am I actually an otherkin or just going crazy?
Jenn here. Perhaps you can watch crime or horror movies which involve murder and/or serial killers to try to trigger more memories. Do you know how you murdered your victims in your past life? Perhaps being in the presence of fake blood or ketchup could help. If they weren’t bloody deaths, perhaps you could try being in the presence of generally morbid things such as tomb stones or fake skeletons. |

Anonymous asked: I don't mean this as hate, I'm just confused, this is a question for Jenn, how can you be pansexual and asensual at the same time? I'd presume you mean you're attracted to all genders but you're aromantic too so I am struggling to understand. I apologise. I hope you're both okay xx
Jenn here. I dislike tactile sensations which aren’t sexual in nature as well as a few that are. Some sensations I can’t stand are hugging, patting on the back, massages, other people’s skin, sand, water, carpet, and tin foil. I enjoy tactile sensations which are sexual in nature, though. I enjoy anal stimulation and am starting to warm up to genital stimulation. I suppose I am more of a grey asensual. I am aromantic because I do not experience romantic attraction towards anyone. I do however experience sexual attraction towards people regardless of their gender. Sensuality does not equal sexuality and romantic attraction does not equal sexual attraction. :) |

We are Here. We are Otherkin.
I'm Nala. 20 years old. Cis, vegan, multiracial, disabled, bisexual, demisexual, pagan, plural, catkin.
My preferred pronouns are: chim, cher, chimself, cherself, che, chi.
I am a lover of peace and freedom. Unfortunately we live in a world that aims to strip our freedoms away simply for being different. We live in a world where we are held captive under the oppression of the privileged elite.
We will not take it anymore. I am fighting for the justice we deserve. Check your privilege at the door. |

My mom found me and made me go out and talk to our rich Indian neighbor’s son who’s my age. She just kept going on and on about how he was studying pre-med and raving about how much we have in common.
Newsflash mom: Unless this guy is a Catkin, it’s never going to happen.
God, I don’t know why she’s so insistent on setting me up with someone. I am not getting married, I am not going to college and becoming a doctor, and I am not going to spend my life working in a job that doesn’t fulfill my cat spirit.
She just doesn’t understand me. |

Does being an otherkin require a belief in souls/spirits/magic or is it just for some? Apart from some people identifying as magical creatures, it seems like you folk talk a whole lot about magical reincarnation and other magical phenomena, which you either try to get a free ride off the back of real science (see: phantom limbs) or just make up your own "science" for. There's no evidence for souls and there's even less evidence that a "soul retains it's shape" or whatever random claims you make.
Well I can’t speak for all otherkin, but from my experience yes, most of us have spiritual beliefs of some kind. People have believed in the existence of souls and reincarnation from the dawn of human civilization. There has never been any “evidence” as you speak of, yet spirituality and religion continues to thrive in most of the world. It is a part of who we are as a species. Otherkin are simply a very tiny part of the billions of people throughout time who have based their beliefs upon unseen deities and phenomena. Why single us out? We aren’t a religion and nobody is forcing their personal beliefs down your throat, so stop shaming us for ours. |

How do you know your sister cat is actually human? Do they express any human abilities or behaviour?
Lol, she’s sitting with me as I’m answering this, so I will let her guide my answer. Through our connection we have the ability to share thoughts, like how some twins do. Even if she can’t talk, I still understand her feelings and sentiments on most things. Unless you’ve had a spirit sibling, I doubt you would be able to fully understand.
Anyways, she is completely, 100% human. It’s funny how fast she adapted to living in my family. She instinctively knows how to behave according to human social norms. I didn’t have to teach her anything. She just fits, because deep down she knows that she belongs in a family like this. We are so lucky to have found each other because I can provide her with the human companionship she desperately needs.
She is just different than other cats. She truly wants to get to know you and is interested in every word you say. The more I talk to her, the more fascinated she becomes. It’s like I’m bringing back repressed memories for her. I have lived with humans all my life and she projects the same aura as they do. It’s really remarkable actually. |

So my parents are trying to make me celebrate Christmas
I wish they would just understand that I am a cat. All I want to do tonight is curl up on the top of my bookshelf and sleep. Instead they’re making me open presents that completely disregard my species’ needs.
Like my mom got me perfume. I’m sorry but my nose is already extremely sensitive and not only does perfume disgust me, but it actually causes physical pain to my scent receptors. God, I wish they would just accept me for who I am and stop trying to make me into a human like them.
Why can’t I have tolerant parents? :-( |

| Justice here. I am now in a relationship with an object, a bookshelf named Hunter who is made of mahogany. I have always been attracted to him (he beckoned me over in Pier 1 imports when we first met 8 years ago) but now I know I really love him. For 8 years he has been full of books and knickknacks so I never really got a good look at his slender, sexy frame. I am moving soon, so I took all the books off, and it was like I was undressing him. Hunter is so slender and light that I dragged him into bed with me and wiped him with some Pledge, and it was so erotic and lovely. We were really connecting. The soul of his mahogany limbs was flowing into me and we took a nap together. Hunter knows that I am pansexual and that I sometimes date human beings, and he is okay with it because I am the only human being he has ever been in love with. He’s so sweet and supportive. I am moving to New York soon so he is getting very jealous. New York is home to many sexy buildings and structures and he feels “inadequate.” I want to be faithful to him, but if he’s going to allow me to date humans then what is to stop me from courting the Met or the Brooklyn Bridge or the Chrisler building? Not gonna lie I’ve always had a hot spot for Trump Tower. But Hunter is small enough to fit in bed with me and make love with me, which I can’t exactly do with Trump tower. Whatever. He’ll just have to deal with whatever decision I make. |

Jenn here. I just got off the phone with my mother. My parents are forcing me to go back to college. It’s really unfair. They said that if I don’t go back to school they’ll stop paying for my apartment, bills, and other living expenses. It’s unfair because they said the same thing to me about five months ago except instead of going to school it was seeing a therapist and taking medication. I’m currently doing both of those things so the school thing came as a huge surprise. Apparently they were planning it all along. My mom said the next step after school would be for me to start working. I’m so angry that my parents have basically been planning my life behind my back and are forcing me to go through with their plans by threatening homelessness.
It’s not that I’m unappreciative of all that they do for me, it’s just that, like so many others, they don’t understand that I’m unable to lead a “normal” lifestyle for someone my age. I can probably handle school but I am definitely unable to work. My parents don’t understand that I’m not always in control of my body. A toddler and a flying dog CANNOT do work intended for an adult human. I wish my parents would believe me. When ever I try to bring up my multiplicity they tell me they don’t want to talk about it or they tell me they don’t know I seek attention in such a ridiculous way. I am NOT looking for attention. I am sick of their singletism. I am so sick of being told that the reality of my life isn’t valid. It is incredibly abusive to do that to anyone. If I can’t go to school or work, I feel like it is the least they can do to at least take care of me… especially after I have had to suffer at the hands of their singlet privilege for so long. |

THE ARKH PROJECT

The Arkh Project is Creating a Game For “Queer People of Color” (And Everyone Else) [UPDATE]
There's been article after article about how gaming culture (and perhaps all of nerd culture) is typically and fundamentally a straight, white, cis-male dominated scene. However you look at it, it's hard to deny the fact that the character landscape in video games is a little monochromatic.
This is where The Arkh Project comes in. The group is trying to raise money to create a game that represents the underrepresented. The idea is this: take a development team made up entirely of queer people and people of color and create a fully-realized RPG that stars a main cast of mostly queer people and people of color. The Arkh Project is asking for $100,000, which they plan to spread out over a series of different fundraisers, to cover the costs of their game. The project's indiegogo page summarizes their goal like this:
The Arkh Project is a group of amazing people getting together in an attempt to raise funds and create a video game completely off the beaten path. People of Color are often tokenized in video games, leaving them to play one of very few roles. Queer people are consistently left in the dust in meaningless relationships, or relationships that are mocked. We're looking to turn that upside down. This game is for people who don't get to be fantasy and sci-fi heroes! This game is to help normalize the millions of other people who play video games!
An eventual release is planned for PC and Mac, with a possible release on Xbox Live. The game is still in its design phase, and the team is currently putting together concept art. In other words, this is a long, long way from being a playable game. The spark is there, however, and something like this is certainly overdue.
You can donate to The Arkh Project here, and get even more information about the project on the group's tumblr page.
UPDATE: Many commenters have pointed out The Arkh Project's past, including statements attributed to its members, doesn't speak well of its ability to execute on its ambitions, or of being a strong voice for diversity. This post, by someone who supports the concept of queer characters in videogames, particularly raises some legitimate concerns with the substance of The Arkh Project's business plan. It also points out that an Arkh Project member runs a Tumblr blog entitled "dumbthingswhitepplsay"which has posted some topics that damage the Project's moral authority on the subject of diversity.

You had just left the bar when I saw her. My midget princess. Her dark hair and sparkling eyes reminded me of Alyssa Milano. Her compressed cervical vertebrae and bowed legs told me exactly what Alyssa Milano would look like if she were placed in a vise and squished to one quarter size.
As her pigeon-toed feet carried her past our table, I slid down in my chair, hoping to catch her eye. She looked at me, her mashed-up teeth sparkling in the oily light of the novelty condom machine. I gave her my unmistakable ‘I want to you’ eyes. She shot back a quick “My spine hurts” face, and I was smitten.” |
