Otherkind Say the Darnedest Things...

I don't mind the looks I get from my claim of elfhood. Most people think it's best just to leave the big, mean biker alone with his beliefs.
--Kyrin, the Toxic Elf, elven-realities e-list

Lupa: My soul doesn't come in flavors.
Aleris: Mine's mint.
--at Walking the Thresholds

Houston, the ego has landed.
--Polydorases re: the self-proclaimed second oldest of the vampires

A being who assumes a female dracoform is lesser than a male is seeking his rapid demise in as spectacular a method as possible.
--August Hahn

I'd be impressed if there was a conspiracy to do ANYTHING around here.
--Ben, awakenings e-list

...taking yourself and your beliefs so intensely seriously is MOTHER'S BEST RECIPE for humiliation and disaster.
--froudgoblin, LJ otherkin 1/18/2009

I'd list what I'm tired of but... in vino veritas they say... well, I say "Give that elfguy more vodka and THEN see what comes out of his mouth."
--wildelf, "DisJointed Thoughts"

<@Noise> BED TIME GOOD NIGHT YOU DAMN ELVES
<@Arethinn> FUH Q SHAD....oh
<@Arethinn> who's a damn elf anyway
<@Arethinn> not me
* @Arethinn harumphs
<@Arethinn> i detect only one likely suspect in the room
<~jarandhel> I'm a goddamn elf, damn elf would be a demotion.

* Alynn has joined #dreamhart
<@Arethinn> HA HA HA
<@Arethinn> YOU SHALL ALL BE COVERED
<@Arethinn> BY MY GLITTERINESS
<@Arethinn> OH HAI ALYNN
<@Arethinn> THIS MAY BE A BAD TIME
<Alynn> Have I walked into some weird fae mating ritual?
<@Arethinn> no, this is the normal fae mating ritual
<@Arethinn> you don't want to know about the weird one

"Is it possible to be both Therian and Otherkin," someone asked on Facebook. No, you must choose your side. The Veil is falling, the war is coming. Do push-ups, bury peanut butter and buy implements of death.

Hells, even I was a Sidhe queen for a while. I think it pretty much amounted to being queen of my own butt...
--Ana'ri'sa, vampkin e-list

That's what most of the never-ending Guardian debate has been about... that none of us want J. Random Otherkin taking care of us. Big Brother watching? Or listening, with big fucking pointed ears?
--wynde'nai, elven-realities e-list

August: Lastly, the people of your dimension seem to have a hobbit fascination, yet a burning desire to be elven too.
Rialian: Understandable....questioning reality can be hobbit forming...
--possibly on the elven-realities e-list

Aladar On Ice?
--Arethinn, amused at Polydorases' description of Kinvention North 1999, which was in Ontario in January

When you look at the countries we [the Tuatha] left behind, the need for our presence is more real than ever. Just look at the political situation in Northern Ireland! It's been a mess since we surrendered to the Milesians!
--someone on the TirNanOc e-list

Woe is me, my world was turned into a cucumber.
--Malcolm, mocking angsty living in the past

We're one big scrappy family.
--Arethinn, on #tirnanoc's relations

I'm a SATYR! What am I supposed to be doing with it [my glamour]... macrame?
--Polydorases, on being unable to get laid

The ones [angelics] that get to incarnate and/or walk around on "earth" tend to be the lower rank/power ones, not the big über-munchie types who can look directly on the face of God and say "Hey boss, your toupee's crooked."
--Malcolm

Which is something like growing up in the dark, then someone lights a candle and going "wow! so much light! that must be the sun!" Then someone turns a light on and you go "wow! so much light! that must be the sun!" Then you go outside and go "Argh! Help! I'm blinded! My eyes hurt! What is this horrible thing! *thud* Ouch! I just walked into a tree! Make this stop!" and you cover your eyes and discover that it's still bright... eventually you go "so that's what the sun is like, why didn't anyone tell me it hurt?"
--Malcolm, on soulbonds

On the Kinsey Scale, elves are about (pi * i).
--Rialian

A dragon is a big, reptilian critter that kicks your butt if you say it's not a dragon.
--Rasha, probably on the Usenet newsgroup alt.fan.dragons
