To the anon asking about shifting: I’m a shifter too, and I’m always aware of it. I don’t know where the idea that you’re not supposed to be aware of a shift even comes from? I’ve never heard that anywhere except in like… goofy werewolf movies or something. Some people might not be aware of their shifts, but it’s an individual thing in both cases.

I think the idea came from people confusing shifts with ‘switching’, which is only experienced by multiples.

i think i feel wings on my back, but i’m not sure if it’s just me wishing for them. it feels like this heavy sort of shapeless ‘presence’ on my back, and i always want to reach back because it feels as though i could touch them (obviously, they’re never there). does this sound like astral limbs?

This does sound like at least the beginning of astral limbs, anon. However, if could also be ‘normal’ back pain. if you have a large chest…

I have one character that I am kin with, and I also have a synpath. But lately I’ve been feeling shifts for the synpath, particularly the urge to talk like them. This feels a bit odd, since he’s VERY different from both me and my kintype. Not unpleasant, just odd. And I was wondering what this means. I still don’t feel like I am him. But lately he’s been talking through me more than normal. What exactly could this mean? And should he be handled any differently than my kintype?

That;s very interesting, anon. I don’t really have an experience with synpath shifts. Maybe someone else who has can answer your question better? However, your…

Sometimes I feel like I physically am a certain character. Like, I know I didn’t “physically shift” or anything like that.. I don’t really know how to describe it. It’s kind of like I feel phantom limbs and whenever I think of myself I think of that character. Usually when this happens I’m surprised whenever I look into a mirror/see my shadow/etc because it doesn’t match what I feel. Does this seem like an indicator of this character being a kintype to you? (Sorry if this is poorly worded!!)

That sounds like a “phantom shift” to me anon: http://therian.wikia.com/wiki/Therianthropic_Shifting_types It could very well be that this character is a kintype and that’s why you’re experiencing shifts…

So, recently went through an awakening period (thank you for your help with that, again) and have been settling in and acclimating to being Demonkin. That said, after talking to those closest to me, I’ve been informed that apparently my general vocal pattern has changed. Like, general vocabulary choice, tonal inflection, patter, and even standard speaking pitch. Is that a common occurrence? I’m very new to this, and I wondering if others experience this phenomenon. Thank you!

Its possible that since you’ve awakened you’re going through a heavy shift, where you’re simply MORE your demon self than usual. Its also possible you’re…

I think this is gonna be part of a longer ask, I’m sorry. I actually had a hunch of my kintype for a few months now but I never really “did” anything with it. It was just a thing that existed and I never bothered to dig deeper but then I met a friend from canon and he told me about the stuff like memories and all that and I dediced to dig deeper and now I am really confused about my identity for a few days?? Like, I know who I am in some way. I could recite my whole life when asked (1/?)

(2/?) And I don’t miss any memories from the past days or experience any changes in my personality. But I feel a lot more like…
