I wonder what other celestials/sidereals/starkin refer to space as? I love "the infinity", it feels the most appropriate to me.
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 :'
Mortal death scares the living daylights out of me. But the concept of star death is so innate and natural in our solar cycle, the thought is almost comforting.
In part, it might be that the matter that makes up my form doesn't just disappear. It disipates, scatters. My kinetic energy travels on and on until something else comes along to collect it. Then that energy is dispersed out into the cosmic landscape at large.
Maybe it's the infinity. The great, ever stretching infinity we all hail from. It, in and of itself, is a form of immortality. The science of my spiritual existence is comforting.
Even this mortal flesh doesn't simply rot into nothing. It will decay, and rejoin this planet's life cycle. And when something inevitably comes along to eviscerate this beloved terrestrial, it too, will join the cosmic landscape.
It too, becomes infinity.
And all that which I will mourn will inevitably become one with me again.
But generally speaking, stars just kinda die. And I think I'm okay with that.
@mondaysmournings - tee hee, this is about you..!
... And one of my favorite things is hearing about his home. It isn't my business to tell his story, but one thing I've gleaned from hymn describing angelic hierarchy and the purpose of angels is that they're very different from stars, and how we operate. I find it fascinating to tell you the truth, I sometimes wish I could see it.
... Stars are watchers, at the end of the day. And though I'm certainly not human thing, involved in this flesh, I am overcome with curiosity, that which is most characteristic of the human condition.
... But I digress. I'll admit, I do find it odd how strict things seem to be in heaven, generally. I understand that's simply the nature of a divine that I don't comprehend, I'm fine with that. But I'd imagine there must be some comfort to the structure, and I respect that too. Honestly, I might even be a little envious, though lightheartedly so.
... In general, angels fascinate me :] I am here primarily to connect with stars, celestials, planets, and sidereals, but I appreciate the vague space we share, conceptually (or rather, as far as the concepts I interpret is to share are concerned).
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.

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.

... 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.
