Okay, so in my Therian/Otherkin Pack, I'm the 'Runner' so you could say. I say 'my' because I'm a part of it, similar to saying 'my' family, even if I'm not specifically therian/otherkin myself.
and tbh, I don't really know what I am, besides the simple affirmation 'I am not Human.'
I think about this a lot, and as it is, too many people jump to conclusions without soul-searching for what they could be. A simple 'I'm a wolf' tends to escape the lips of people who might not in fact be a wolf- I know I'm not because I've never had any connection to them, nor many other fascinating beings in reality, past reality, and fiction, or what-have you. Sure, 'past the stars and beyond the moon' has always been a line to stick with me, but I'm not a bloodthirsty talking plant, now am I? No. I do not do photosynthesis though I have known people who claimed they could, but that was in elementary and they didn't eat (at school at least) for three weeks and got really thin and then were put on some diet that got force fed to them and it was kinda scary. Still though, the point is.
Starseed- as explained to me by
NatakuXeden seemed right on the money. 'Not from earth or terrestrial origin.' As I've interpreted it, it can encompass a large range of possibility. No, I'm not a fan of the idea of little green men, or tall gray scientists who poke and prod- nor even flying saucers. The idea of star-dust, shooting stars, burning masses of energy in space throwing light out into the universe in their long and usually solitary journey through nothing... That's what captivates my thoughts. Uncrowded, burning themselves out and occasionally lashing out upon nothing, exploding and collapsing and existing without any care at all. They provide light as a secondary effect- it's not their purpose.
Stars are seas of flame that are never still, restless and seething, magnetic and massive. They are beginning and ending constantly, and are so, so vast and full of discord. Constantly they are shooting fire and energy out into the nothingness and at a constant they are wonderful.
of course, that's just my thoughts on the matter, really. Once upon a time I shone bright and lasted for so long- and now I'm here, I suppose. I don't really know, just that this is where I am now, and I'm trying to find what used to be. Could be that I'm wrong, but that's why I'm such a fan of soul searching. Space is where I know I belong, I just need to understand what it was about it that held me there.
so for now, Starseed seems fine enough a term for me- because perhaps the stars hold my answers.
