Maybe you could try blackout curtains for the voidkin part? I'm not sure what it's like being part of a void, but my guess is that it's all encompassing, so having the ability to be in complete darkness sounds like it might be good :)
I would also say, try and find other starkins to relate to. Many of us are used to being surrounded by each other on all sides, in all directions. Ik talking to other stars makes me happy at least.
I'm afraid I do not have anything to supplement your other needs, especially pertaining to shifting. But I hope you find what you're looking for!
hello!! any good tips for starkins and voidkins? i already have some star themed stuff and think of getting black converse with stars this summer :3 but have no idea what to do about the void part
also there's a thing, I don't know if it's a fantom shift (?) or not, im VERY new to all these terms, sorry :'( im feeling like im something "occupying" this human body, and sometimes it randomly starts to feel like it's too small, so tiny I can explode and get out of it any second, and its starting to itch and feel very uncomfortable :'
I wonder what other celestials/sidereals/starkin refer to space as? I love "the infinity", it feels the most appropriate to me.
divinityβs light and warmth flows through my human form in rivers and waves, forming puddles in my joints. lakes and oceans in my ribcage flowing around my beating heart, illuminating me from within.
I'm glad you were able to find some commonalities in your experience! It's part of why I coined/started using Sidereal in this context, there are so many ways to be a star or celestial or astro, etc.
For me, I know I will inevitably be one with space again, amongst other stars. But for now, I'm just doing my best with the body I have.
Sending love and light κβΆ!!
... You know, I've found it hard to find true disdain for this planet. Of course, I feel that same melancholic homesickness most non-earthly entities do when left to reflect too long on not being home. But, I actually do love it here, for all of the troubles and triumphs I've lived.
... I'm a Sidereal. A star fallen to Earth, whose soul and spirit mixed with the debris of this planet, thus anchoring my body to this planet. My job for now is for experience change, to change my form, and find singularity. In many ways, I'd imagine it isn't unlike stellar evolution. It is in our nature to change, then die. In that way, we're quite like human earthlings.
... So, I try to take it in stride. It's also helped by the fact that I am a Milky Way star, and specifically one near to Earth (likely only just scratching the double digits in billions light years). Stars are passive observers. I am an observer. Light takes a while to travel, yes, but of what little I can concretely remember, I've always found the evolution of human beings deeply fascinating. So getting to be part of that to a small extent is warming, I feel. It's nice.

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]
I'm also curious to know if any other stars are particularly attached to humans and their conceptions, practical use of us. I am particularly fond of being wished upon, but I wonder if any of us enjoy being helpful with navigation :} I'd love to be in a star chart one day, that sounds pleasant.
... Stars exist in the wider expanse of the cosmos, often surrounded by our kin. We are birthed from nebulas, and congregate in constellations and orbits. And yes, we're often light-years away from each other, but you must understand that when you're a star, that's no different from sitting in a huddle on a carpet with your dearest friends.
... So, I surround myself with stars. Because when I'm with them, I feel the most at home. It's why I want to meet and befriend more star kin :} I yearn for the security and light of others like me.
I'm so instantly drawing to other stars, I cannot forget that this body isn't exactly keen on that. That is to say, I have got to stop glancing at the Sun. Yes, it is amusing that it is a massive star, a day star. No, that doesn't mean I can stare directly at it.
