tengu shoes's definitions
A furry/anime artist/other talentless, oversensitive type who gets mad at a particular person (usually a female that they have a creepy, backwards crush on) and goes around trying to get even in such ridiculous fashions as writing innacurate, stupid definitions including their real name.

Crazy people on the internet who desperately try to make themselves seem cool by claiming to be a reincarnated version of some kind of popular, charismatic animal or a monster they heard about in a roleplaying game. Usually they justify this by insisting their daydreams have some kind of bearing on the real world. It generally does not work, except with fellow otherkin and of course furries.
Lately the otherkin have branched off into even more mind-bogglingly insane territory with the otakukin movement.

I don't care how big the wingspan of your fifty-foot-tall-humanoid-dragon-soul is, Mr. Otherkin. I still don't like you.

Youkai (written with kanji meaning "bewitching apparition") are traditional Japanese monsters of supernatural origin. The word is often translated as "goblin" or "demon". Youkai are grotesque, diverse, and often as silly as they are terrifying. They were a popular subject in ukiyo-e prints, and the artist Toriyama Sekien is famous for publishing an extensive, illustrated bestiary of the creatures. Some of the best known youkai include oni (large, horned ogre-like demons who punish sinners in hell), tengu (beaked or long-nosed bird-men), kappa (turtle-like water-imps), and kitsune and tanuki (foxes and raccoon-dogs - real animals to whom supernatural powers were attributed).

Phrase lifted from some song. It is now an allusion to the futility of trying to claim copyright on generic, pointless ideas, particularly within internet fandoms. Has something to do with purple dogs, swans with dogs shoved up their asses, and deviantart.com. Maybe. We can't say for sure.
"Holy shit I came up with bat-winged transvestite raver Anubis stop drawing him"

Man I just bought a Balinese garuda mask, a Hokusai poster and a dozen maneki neko off eBay. I'm such a rice cracker.

The horrible, fiery collision of the otaku and otherkin subcultures. I.e., people who believe they are somehow involved with/reincarnated from the souls of anime/video game characters. Japanese pop culture is literally their religion. And no, it's not a joke. They are the ultimate illustration of how utterly batshit insane the Internet has become.
After I heard about the otakukin, everything else seems sane by comparison. Even shitting dicknipples.

The most utterly buttfucking terrifying cartoon I have ever seen. Based on yet-another-monster-battling card game, features a disturbing little anime boy with creepy eyes, starfish hair and a baritone voice.
