so i recently found out / realised that i’m also a bird or something? Not quite sure yet what, but i’m trying to figure it out rn. The first thing that made me realise was that i randomly had phantom wings, completely unprompted. anyway, so far into today i’ve been phantom shifted basically the entire time and here are some things i’ve noticed.

first, when i close my eyes my "arms" become my wings and i’m just like a normal bird. When i open them my wings are attached to my back and i’m generally more like the typical avian-hybrid humanoid.

My feathers are brown with some pattern but i cant exactly pinpoint what pattern.

also, i can look into the mirror shifted without feeling really uncomfortable / disphoric and i can almost see my wings. Like, not actually but i know exactly where they should be in my mirror image and it doesnt make me feel weird.

and i dont like being touched on my back. It just feels very wrong.

i’m still pretty new to phantom shifts and everything cause i only really accepted and started embracing me being not being human like two or so months ago (even though i knew for far longer) so all of this is still mostly very exciting.

if i could purr i think that would fix me entirely

made this for oomf but you can have it too. a little breakdown of my process with bird wings if anyone finds it useful
