Was wondering if anyone did self care for their kin self and how so?
Im making a self care kit for my main two kins, Miles and Ciel. It's going to have some tea bags in it, a sudoku or other puzzle book I bought from school store at my special education school, a journal and pen, a piece of paper for each kin with a list of songs, some essential oils, lotion, and a few other things.

I purchase merch since my factotype is a YouTuber. I only just began allowing myself to do this since I’m not typically the kind of person that likes to collect a lot of things; my factotype is the only exception. It feels good to support the content he provides the champions club (his fanbase). I'll be upgrading this setup entirely once I rebuild my gaming desktop and move it in here but I figured this was a solid start.

It'll be entirely Dr Disrespect themed. Definitely my own champions club arena!

I’ll be cosplaying as Dr Disrespect at Animazement in 2022.

That's freaking epic, your gaming set up and the fact you're gonna cosplay. I'm going to try to get a cosplay costume of Miles Edgeworth soon so I can cosplay as Miles Edgeworth for Saboten Con 2022! My first time cosplaying at a convention since I couldn't go to Taiyou con 2022 this weekend. As my younger brother Connor would call you, you're an mlg gamer.

oh, lots of things. i've turned our bed into a nest piled with pillows and blankets and stuff. just lots of things. i'm also very fond of eating granola, seed, or trail mix, especially when i'm feeling a bit extra bird. used to feed my cockatiel nutriberries and you would not believe the self restraint it took not to eat them myself. i also climbed onto the lower roof of the barn once to feel the wind and stayed there for a while; don't try it at home.

also, as doc said: lots of merch!

Nicee. You’ll have to share your cosplay on NNP, if you ever feel up to it. I hope to do the same once I finish mine. We’ll see!

Your younger brother has really good taste, by the way.

I just purchased my first bird feeder and I’m already thinking about upgrading it. I’ve been enjoying the new company and bird chirps. I bought a ton of variety mix but they seem to really like the sunflower seeds. Do you like sunflower seeds and/or have a favorite bird treat?

any type of seed is good, especially pumpkin: not sure if you're any good at cooking but there are some "birdie bread" recipes out there that are little loaves you can cook that are bird healthy (and i won't act like i've never eaten some of it myself). birds (domestic parrots, at least, but i assume wild ones too!) go crazy for spray millet which you can find at any pet store for not too expensive.

I make nests out of blankets and often fill them with stuffed animals, and I am a very avid reader (I read 11 books last week, and they were all at least 350+ pages each, if not more.) Eating is a bit of a struggle for me, as I had numerous tech lives, but I usually satisfy that part of me by researching intensely (for my web crawler side) and listening to music or singing whenever I can (vocaloid-like synthesizer).

I have a sizeable hoard of crystals and other shinies and meaningful objects on a table beside my bed. My social circle is almost entirely otherkin, so I don't make any effort to act like a human and I pretty much just try to live as my authentic self in every way. I also surround myself with a lot of dragon themed stuff.

And as for activities, now and then some nearly raw meat is a nice treat. On windy days I'll go stand in the wind and close my eyes and open my wings and try to remember what it felt like to fly. As a crow I also pretty much see being a smartass obnoxious bastard just for the hell of it as a form of selfcare. Fortunately my mate is a very good sport.

That's amazing, good for you! I wish I knew more otherkin in my social circle irl.

I like to try and learn languages, specially Khuzdul, since I feel more like a dwarf than I do like an elf. But some day maybe I'll give Quenya or Sindarin a try. I also love crafting, talking walks in the nature, learning new things, and collecting stories.

Oh, and I'd love to learn archery, but right now it's more of a dream than anything else. Maybe some day!

Learning languages associated with your kintype is a great idea! I'm learning Greek because I'm Hellenic (Greek) pagan. Which is of course related to my being a daemon.

I actually used to practice archery myself. My dad taught me when I was a child. I'm planning to get back into it this spring. There's an archery range not far away.

Awesome! Greek sure is challenging, with the different alphabet and the verb conjugation. Wish you the best in learning it, and getting back into archery as well. What style did you parctice, if it's ok to ask?

Ok, so I figured I'd share my updated self care things for both of my kin types.
Zero Kiryu (Coping linker): I learn Japanese, drink tea, watch my kin's anime, read lots, do sudoku, eat chocolate, do journaling, etc.
Lupin the third (spiritual kin): When in the mood I go to Starbucks, browse online/at the store for different color blazers to eventually buy, watch my kin's anime, cosplay, study Korean or French, do word search puzzles, read manga, etc.

my bed is my safe haven full of duvets, blankets, pillows, and many MANY stuffed animals. when things feel too much around me I go "cave mode" where I basically burrow under all my blankets and be surrounded by complete darkness (or dim phone light)

if I have the urge to touch water or be in water I run a bath and imagine I'm sitting in a lake slightly paddling with my front paws. better yet if I'm near a larger body of water and it's safe ill definitely swim. for small treats ill make almost raw steak or eat sushi to satisfy the raw meat cravings, sometimes will actually buy fish too! sounds help a lot too so ill listen to rainy forest/ocean soundscapes.

I also have a Tumblr side blog I love to go back to either reblog aesthetics, share happy memories (i have memory issues which stress me out a lot so writing them down helps big time), or just browse what I already have that's filled with comforting images, media, or stories!
