i think mine are closer to envisage shifts usually, but my actual phantom limbs are often my tail wagging and feeling my wings and ears twitching. its accompanied by a need to move/run around. this doesnt work great because i usually shift on car rides for some reason. probably because i like to think in the car and i end up thinking about shifting.
Question to the community: what do phantom shifts feel like for you all? What even if the determining factor, for you, that you are non-alterhuman/otherkin/therian??
i dont think i have any on hand but i just requested one from someone! specifically brown border collie! i'll lyk if/when they post it
Im unsure if I feel safe posting about it, im still a bit new to such topics and shy, but... Does somebody have, like, border collie moodboards for therian/otherhearted people? Especially brown collies?
something that kind of "fills in" my identity for me is collecting and considering myself a combination of various similar looking things. i might not identify as from each media, but i look like stuff from them!
so maybe it could help if you pictured yourself as a trico that might look more like a snow leopard or fox! just try to see how much you can make the guy look like you!
also for the redwood forest, there is always the possibility of a hearthome if you don't feel like any particular thing from it
I have a Question for those of you with multiple confirmed Kintypes. Do you ever feel like your identity is full? Like you've figured out who you are? Or does something just permanently feel like it's missing?
I know without any doubt that I am a snow leopard, and I'm 90% certain on me being a Trico (the only doubts I have come from my disconnect to the game). But, I still feel like something about me is missing, but I have NO idea what it could possibly be. Everything I've looked into so far has only lead to dead ends. At most I'll look at a creature/concept, and go "oh, that might be me" only to go back an hour later and feel no connection at all.
I don't get very many shifts, and when I do they don't last very long. So, I don't have much I can really point to that would tell me what I am, or if I'm even missing anything at all. I thought I might be a Highland cow, but, after some thought, I just really like cows. Maybe cowhearted at the very most. I also have been contemplating Black Holekin but, something about it feels... Off. Idk what it is, but, there's just something preventing me from saying "this is 100% me"
(quickly throwing in my DNI before the "read more" in case someone doesn't wanna read my lil rambles!)
More Ramblings And Possible Kintype Leads I Have Below!!!!
I have a strong calling for the Redwood Forests in California. I've been there twice between the ages of 7-10, and it always felt like home. I often yearn to return to those gentle giant trees... I'm unsure if my love for the redwoods means that perhaps I too, am a tree, or simply a being who thrives off of them like an animal or a river or a plant. Nothing is really out of question.
I want to look more into Grey Foxes. I can't help but see myself as a grey fox, and I do share a good amount of traits with them. It would definitely explain my tail wagging shifts, my vocal stims, my Desire to live in burrows, etc. so far though,they don't really scream "ME" like my other kintypes do. Though, in fairness I didn't immediately click with my kintypes until I had fursonas of them and realized I related to them way more than I ever did with my other characters.
I may also perhaps be a raccoon? Or at the very least racoonhearted. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but, I see myself a LOT in raccoons, and I know for a fact that I am meant to have their coloration or similar. I can very much see myself as having limited bipedalism, I'm a sensory seeker that primarily explores sensation via touch, and again it would explain my desire to burrow and wag my tail.
But, even still, I have no idea if any of these are me sometimes they feel like they are, sometimes they don't. I'm not even entirely sure if I have some secret 3rd kintype or not. So, don't take this as a "kinsidering" post. I'm mainly just writing this so I can come back to it and see how I feel later after I've done more research!

<3 as much as i wish i could be a canine i also love the human experience. i belong in both.
i love getting human perks. endless plushies and toys. thumbs. being able to draw. being able to attend concerts and mosh. being able to go online and chat with people who share similar experiences of a variety of things. to transition genders, cozy blankets and fashion.
reminder to find positives in your lifetime, even if it wasnt the one you meant to have<3
