A List of Recommendations for Gaining Kinfeels, or Other Alterhuman Shifts and/or Self-Discovery
Heyo! This is Ryuu Yumemoto. Whenever I see questions about getting alterhuman feels or shifts, people 9/10 talk about meditation, and I dislike how meditation is the always answer. It leaves so very little else when it just doesn’t always work for everyone. So have a list to try out.
This is gathered with the collective input from the various alterhuman/being discord servers I’m in.
And it seems like this sort of question gets asked a lot, so I decided to drop this on tumblr and my personal site/blog

'Type Specific
*These are tools that can be useful for anyone but provide potentially the most benefit for the related species or alterhuman 'type.
Draconic
For the draconic type of being. It is a tool similar to piccrew or make-a-creature type of tool that provides you with a set of parameters that you can mix and match to get the desired result.
A decently diverse dragon builder with more than just scales or webbed wings! Variety of colors, markings, feathered wings, fin, even taking away the wings for a more drake/serpentine look is possible! Unfortunately, wyverns or those with more than 4 set of legs + 1 set of wings will have to find other makers as this one sticks with four limbs.
Feline
Requires (free) sign-up.
