Welcome to Gaia! ::

Can you describe that sensation? Itches and pain, phantom bleeding, feather ruffled, etc.

Say you suddenly slipped off a chair and landed on your tailbone, that's what accidentally sitting on your tail feels like.

Also, when someone massages me and hits my wings it's like having a charley horse in my back.

Lance made me sit in a massage chair today, it was painful, but it massaged my butt, so I was like, " gonk OW! 4laugh aahhhh... gonk MAHRFAGR! 4laugh fwee!"

say you cross your arms, and you try to grab something with a hand thats on the right, but you start moving the wrong hand. that temporary confusion about your limbs can be compared to having phantom limbs. before you become more used to the feeling, it comes in spurts of "oh, i need to sit down, OUCH i sat on my tail! ... wait a sec.. i don't have a tail.."

the only way i can describe the actual feeling of them, is just to say it feels like any normal limb.. like my arm. i know my arm is there and i can feel it move through the air. i know my tail is "there" and i can feel it move, but it's also detacted from some feelings. for example, when i sit on my tail, or hit it, or get it stuck in something (when i forget to phase it through stuff) it just feels a sort of pins and needles, like when your foot is asleep, it's not painful, just a very strange feeling.

^ xd Nice.

I seem to be one of few people who don't actually experience pain when their phantom limbs hit things... I do feel them, though. They just kind of... go through things, which is an experience all it's own. It'd be like if your hand, but not arm, could suddenly move through objects no problem (other than a slight..."awareness"*, I guess). razz Freakin' weird, man.

My limbs come to me as a sort of pressure or energy focus where they touch my body as well as a kind of just... awareness. Like my body's energy is continuing outward and taking shape. They don't feel as strong as my physical limbs do, but they feel just as if not more natural than my normal ones. They generally just don't get in the way. It's pretty rare that they do - I feel lucky.

*Kind of like when you hold a finger just above the skin in the place between your eyes - a kind of pressure-y...awareness.

I'd describe wings as... well, sometimes it can be a general feeling of discomfort. Usually, though, I can feel mostly the weight of them I also get a tactile sensation when they touch other parts of my body, and motion... much like when you move a leg, you can feel the motion of it.

Teeth: I get phantom canine teeth of a wolf. It's a bit like the sensation that there's more in my mouth than is actually there. My mouth feels fuller than it should, you know. Like I should be able to move my tounge and it would move over the length of teeth.

Um... ears. It's mostly just the sensation that they move. When something catches my attention, I can feel my phantom ears swivel around. I dunno if it's entirely them, though, because it also causes my real ears to attempt to move... the same muscles that people who can wiggle their ears move. Those move and cause my ears to twitch (it was really interesting when it started happening. I'd never before been able to move my ears. eek I'm still getting used to the sensation.)

with my its more like i feel the 'essence' of it being there. sometimes it hurts when it touches something, sometimes i can move it, sometimes i can feel its texture like i can feel the skin of my physical body, and i can always feel something move through it.

i typically do feel a slight increase in weight and a sort of 'right' feeling with wings and the like, however. i also notice that my phantom limbs do sometimes hurt, seemingly at random.

One interesting thing about my phantom wings is that they respond to the wind- in strong winds, I can feel the wind in my feathers. That's half the fun of mountain climbing- the wind.
