Hey, we're just wondering what people "do" for their kintype! We know aesthetics exist, but we don't remember what the community does, and also don't want to be on Tumblr at the moment.
We've already made a pretty detailed carrd, and a bunch of aesthetics, and commissioned art. Just want to know what everyone does to connect with their kintype/etc! Would love some things to do

I do a lot of tumblring looking for cool things to send to my... many blogs, and like 1/4th of those things end up on my kinblogs, well the drafts, and if I'm feeling it I'll go through the drafts and tag and queue whatever stuff I'm really feeling. Like "I'm feeling like flying around a city" so I go through my transspecies blog and queue a bunch of photos of cities from heights I have in the drafts.
Enrichment is either daydreaming - usually half thinking about flying (this gif is how I think about flying in my mind for enrichment lol) or playing with toys or my cat. But physical things, like batting around a basketball, is better with my clawgloves, which overlaps with the costume making.
Costume-stuff, gear, whatever you call it, I like to have but mostly I gotta make stuff that works for me. I already have an interest in costuming and cosplay and I've altered and repaired my clothing, so making/modifying stuff for draknfeels just made sense. To be clear it's the wearing the stuff when its done to feel more myself, not the act of making them.
Drawing, again, is just something I do a lot. I like to draw myself, since (a) I can't look in the mirror and see Me, and (b) it helps me visualize myself (and I can show others how I look!)
I would also exercise--specifically practicing very beginner free running. Oh biking was good - felt like low flying.

I used to eat black cherries because the juice reminded me of the blood of fresh kill. I havent really done much focus on food stuff lately, but I thought that might be a good tip! I feel more myself (my kintype) and alive when I walk outside at night, so I like being able to do that. I also let myself make animal noises and move in an animal like way when I am home or with my boyfriends where I am safe. I also recently pre ordered a very high tech but still affordable robotic tail called mitail which i am VERY excited for.
Yess food! I was gonna add that I get crablegs as a treat because the whole process of cracking then open and eating them - which I do without tools - is ... enrichment? happy drakn? words?
I'm planning on getting one of those tails that has a harness around your shoulders to move "naturally" but if that doesn't work I was wondering about the animatronic ones. I don't like the little remote but I'm sure there's some engineering or programming trick to be done to control it in a more natural feeling way? One day? edit: nevermind I'm looking into mitail lol

I recently started giving myself permission to purchase merch of my factotype! Surrounding one’s own safe space (i.e., like your bedroom) can offer a great sense of happiness both consciously and subconsciously.
Just be sure not to overwhelm yourself (or your wallet) as it’s easy to do so with an identity so dear to you! The amount of physical items that represent your alterhumanity does not equate to validity.

Get Piggy plushies, have a few roblox figures, animate, draw, cosplay (I use to have a bunny cosplay, even made ears myself for it, as well as a perfect dress) and playing Roblox.
Ahoy everyone. I go by Foxy. I'm a horror based fictionkin, part conceptkin and C'linker.
Currently there is not a lot I do to connect to my kintype on the general. In part because I still don't know what Square looks like and I am .. also not sure even how to consider the species either. Though I have been wanting to try to touch oracle based stuff like on tumblr to relate to the oracle-like omnipresent nature Square has.
Mostly currently with all I have to connect to are knowledge, memories, and a sort of mind set is really my web site and blog. Just letting myself have a space where I allow my identity of Square to be set free to exist how it is and to give into it a bit and try to hold back everything else that isn't Square. Some how it's a lot easier that I thought. Just giving myself a space and there it goes.
I really want to start making large posts on my memories and experiences and see if it might finally unlock more personal details about Square to be able to bring into other parts of my life. Like I'd love to try to make a costume to be Square or make some of the fandom outfits I know we worn when promoting certain media. Like the large dragon cloak for Dragon Quest promotions. Make the Moogle hat that I loved.
On that note a dream of mine is to be able to make a Square costume and make a Chocobo hat and take photos, video skit of me ripping it off my head and stopping it comedicly into the ground before picking up and proudly wearing the Moogle hat. Square has a heavy preference of Moogle mascot over Chocobo mascot and especially hates the chocobo hat. lol
Otherwise I just play games, touch media that is Square Enix produced and distrubted. And Konami stuff. Always try to keep up with Konami. Can't leave little brother behind. I kinda want to get some merchandise for myself one of these days. At least a Square Enix keychain but really at the end of the day just being able to have a space to sometimes just let myself be lost in my memories and write them out and experience them is so good for me.
I wish I could make aesthetics I'm jealous those always seemed so hard and foreign to me and people can make so cool ones aaaaaa

For what terms for my identity there are I am not sure but hopefully I will find out and have an unforgettable experiences along the way. Inbox always open for random stuff. Hit me up.
Vila are known for their very close relationships to horses and dogs so I basically made that my life because that, truly, is where a lot of my happiness lies. I have three dogs and train professionally. I was just given a mustang mare to break and have an entire equine degree that I get to use much more often lately. I also plan on making a talisman necklace with feathers (legally obtained ofc) and small beads that remind me of what I am.
I recently bought a couple of molds that are actually for dog treats (but are human safe of course, just silicone molds that are food-safe!) and have been using them to make cookies and biscuits. There are lots of ways I can feel connected to my kintypes through food/cooking, even despite being vegan and having a few meat-eating kintypes. I love food in general, so I guess that helps lol.
I usually don't do much, I just exist as a dog-elf-being pretending to be a human, but if I ever want to feel more myself or connect to another kintype more, I'll generally just consume media that reminds me of my kintypes- anything ranging from movies/TV shows to bird POVs, documentaries, or listening to ambient forest sound videos on youtube. Or make my environment more comfortable for my kintype or just, idk, do kin things? Lie down on the floor like a dog, wear elf ears, draw my kintypes and hang the pictures on the wall, etc. There are so many options, it's hard to list them all. I kind of just do whatever I feel like.

I love wearing clothes of my kintypes fur colors (grey/black mostly), and collecting snep-themed stuff like stuffed animals ^-^ i want to get a fan soon to put near my den and simulate the breeze at the top of a mountain :3 I also like to "groom" myself like a cat, idk if it actually does anything but i feel cleaner (i dont lick my hand tho)
