Me, Meeting Nice Human Beings: Actually, They Aren't So Bad. 

our mother always said we come from the same star

i'm concerned that I need you to explain some details more clearly.

Sometimes I look up at the stars and wonder when they're going to take me back.

I make moodboards in order of the queue, thank you for your orders and politeness. I do not write anything under moodboards just to preserve the aesthetics of the work. I can also add facts about your kin(if it's an animal, for example) or quotes, just tell me if you would like to.

Hey it's @empyrean-demise again, this time on more information about starfolks (That isn't spoilers)

So there are two types of starfolks: Light and dark. Light starfolks are white with blue eyes or mask/ star, uses conventional weapons and can be hurt by water (But this doesn't apply to my version of source). Dark starfolks are black with orange eyes/ star, uses claws and martial arts and can go in water. In fact, in my version of source, dark starfolks really like water!Light starfolks uses ice or lightning magic, while dark starfolks uses fire or wind magic.

They are in a war with each other. The dark starfolks want to absorb their counterparts to become more "stable" light starfolks, while the light starfolks want to keep that stability. Absorption is a process where two (Usually opposite polarity) starfolks exchange their polarities, becoming stronger in the process. However, things can go a bit awry here, I'll come back to this in a bit.

Starfolks were created by this... diety of sorts? They just created us to fight each other. Plus we were from one of the long line of universes They made in search of... something. I still don't know what They were trying to look for.

You may noticed that Edda (My counterpart) and I have an interesting relationship: We don't attack each other, but instead work together! This is because we're both technically a Rare third type of starfolk: Dual, or Hybrid, type. These are starfolks who absorption has gone awry, turning them into neither light nor dark starfolks. There are two subtypes here are well: Unstable, which switches between mainly light and dark, and perfect, which are completely green and are extremely strong.

Dual-types can use all types of magic, including a special one only found in dual-types. Edda and I are both dual-types, but a special case where our friendship is the thing that makes us into a technical dual-type. It's very interesting now that I think about it.

While some of the facts resonated with me, the society I came from was quite different. However, I found it fascinating to learn about other starkins/spasekins. Ultimately, we are all connected by space. Thank you!

hey, hey alterhuman community. just created this page so would love to find new friends and connections around ya'all.

angelkins, godkins, starkins, spasekins, faerykins and others, let's get to know each other and exchange experiences. let's have some fun!

Okay, but what about the godkin (and others!) who do want to be worshiped, who do want offerings and prayers? There has to be an ethical and consensual way to do this!

If you're willing to share, I'm very curious to know how nonhumanity has been for you. Though I doubt im the only one that feels the way i do, i havent seen people speak of it really. It has been a very difficult process finding out what exactly i am, and i am still not fully sure on most of it. I know im a shapeshifter, but sometimes i just am an animal. How fluid my nonhumanity is doesn't help in figuring it out, truth be told. I have been a crow, a snow leopard, a cat, a dog, an angel, a ghost..... I have been those but im not sure if i still am, or if it even matters. Im not a crow anymore but it was very important to me when i was, and the same goes for being a ghost and an angel; though being an angel still applies at times. I dont think this is very coherent, but i guess it just shows how puzzling it has been.

Hello! Thanks for the great question, I really didn’t see that the community was actively discussing this, so it’s really worth talking about. It sounds like you really care and you don’t stop thinking about it.

I will share my experience and may even advise something, but each experience is unique and we should seek our own answers to difficult questions.

I always paid attention to what seemed familiar and right. Not just some things that seem right for a few moments, but a constant feeling of repetition. For example, as I remember myself I always was drawn to the stars, I talked with them, shared some secrets and stories and just slept under the starry sky and felt very calm and "right". This is just one example, but it’s the most vivid in my memories. If you’re not sure about who you are now, remember everything you did when you were absolutely certain that you were a snow leopard or a ghost, for example. Does it feel the same now? Does it feel "right" now?

I suggest just sit in some quiet and special place and focus on your feelings. Ask yourself questions. Also do not forget about the kins, which are not too common. For example, you can be a mythical being that combines several animal traits in one!

At the end I want to say that changing your opinion and learning yourself is normal. It’s okay to doubt, to ask questions and not be completely sure of anything is also okay. Let’s normalize this in our community and help each other. I encourage all readers to share their experiences in comments.

May the stars guide you. 💫

A comforting thought

Five thousand years ago, the Sumerians called the night ngi, the stars mul, and the moon Nanna.

Four thousand years ago, the Akkadians called the night mūšu, the stars kakkabū, and the moon Sîn.

Three thousand years ago, the Hittites called the night išpanza, the stars haštereš, and the moon Arma.

Two and a half thousand years ago, the Greeks called the night nux, the stars astra, and the moon Selênê.

Two thousand years ago, the Romans called the night nox, the stars stellae, and the moon Luna.

Kings and queens and heroes looked up at them. So did travelers coming home, and little children who sneaked out of bed. So did slaves, and mothers and soldiers and old shepherds, and Sappho and Muršili and Enheduanna and Socrates and Hatshepsut and Cyrus and Cicero. In this darkness it didn’t matter who they were, or where they stood. Only that they were human.

Think of that tonight, when you close your window. You are not alone. You share this night sky with centuries of dreamers and stargazers, and people who longed for quiet. Are you anxious? The Hittites were too: they called it pittuliyaš. Does your heart ache? The Greeks felt it too: they called it akhos. Those who look up to the stars for comfort are a family, and you belong to them. Your ancestors have stood under Nanna, Sîn, Arma, Selênê and Luna for five thousand years. Now its light is yours.

May it soothe you well.

In our timeline we were both stars as in balls of heat but also stars as in star people... We had our own language, culture, traditions... Right now we are trying to recreate our old language in this world. However it gets hard as human brains cannot exactly comprehend it... As much as I love exploring this world and I definitely don't hate it, I miss our old abilities that weren't bounded by this human body.

At times, I find myself missing the simplicity of the perfect star society, even though I have an appreciation for this world. It seems that people have a tendency to make things more complex, despite the brevity of life and the fragility of the human body, which saddens me.

Every now and then, I try to recall the sounds of the language from that time, but it seems like the human brain is just not able to comprehend something like that. The sight of other stars brings me happiness. I am curious about your traditions, understanding that they can vary based on different factors, and I am keen to learn more. Could it be possible that we had a connection in the past?
