Of reading things I had created in the community the last time I was around (under a different name), and wondering to myself what I would say to people about my current journey.</p> <hr> <p>In 2013, I came to the realisation that I somehow felt like an elf. I felt so bizarre and alone in that feeling and even though I found some comfort in the writings of others, I was really at unease with myself. After a few years abd some pretty unpleasant interactions with various otherkin community members, I decided that enough was enough. This felt embarrassing, I hated myself, I had been around too many emotionally immature or unwell people and I needed to go.</p> https://silverquill.neocities.org/links/ Mon, 07 Sep 2026 23:15:27 +0100 https://silverquill.neocities.org/links/ <h1 id="links">Links</h1> <h2 id="otherkin">Otherkin</h2> <p>Things from other otherkin I like and have helped inform my views.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://epochryphal.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/on-physically-nonhuman/"><strong>On “Physically Non/Human” - epochryphal</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://epochryphal.wordpress.com/2016/03/01/cors-big-nonhumanotherkin-post/"><strong>Cor&rsquo;s Big Nonhuman/Otherkin Post - epochryphal</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20241009134953/https://cohost.org/lurkdragon-stuff/post/4949729-i-m-an-atheist-and"><strong>Untitled - Sparky Lurkdragon</strong></a> (Archived on Wayback Machine)</li> <li><a href="https://www.otherkin.net/posts/a-simple-introduction-to-otherkin-and-therianthropes/?from=articles"><strong>A Simple Introduction to Otherkin and Therianthropes - Orion Scribner</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181214101011fw_/http://www.rialian.com/elfness.htm"><strong>A Rant on Elfness - Wynde&rsquo;nai</strong></a> (Archived on Wayback Machine)</li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181214100904fw_/http://www.rialian.com/"><strong>Awakening, in the Tradition of 3lvz - Wynde&rsquo;nai</strong></a> (Archived on Wayback Machine)</li> </ul> <hr> <h2 id="outside-otherkin">Outside otherkin</h2> <p>Non-otherkin writers who have informed my ideas of what it means to be this way.</p>
