I hope this doesn’t cause more trouble for you…but have you noticed that one of those people in the hskin tag being the kin control or whatever is kin with Peeta? Y’know a canonically poc character who was whitewashed in the films? And the person who is kin with him is white? Idk man I just needed to share this somewhere because the hypocrisy is real.

I hadn’t noticed that, anon. That’s very interesting to note. Its sad, but sometimes people are hypocrites. 

Where’s the line between fictionkin and otherkin? For instance, if we define otherkin as “non-human soul” and fictionkin as “soul of a fictional character”, there’s still a ton of overlap. Dragons and elves are fictional, but elf/dragonkin are otherkin. Homestuck trolls are non-human, but they’re fictionkin. Yet, both of these could qualify for either label. How do you differentiate the two?

Its a very fuzzy line indeed, and someone can be both otherkin and fictionkin at the same time. For instance anyone who has a fictotype…

I see a lot of people saying how much they want to connect to the people from their canon and they see themselves as still the character or thing they were kin with, while I just want to put it all behind me and try to disconnect from it. Is this normal? Should I feel bad?

So I’ve been avoiding Harry Potter since I was little, for reasons even I couldn’t come up with. There was no reason, I just wanted to avoid it. But HP is important to my partner (who I discovered is Neville) and they sat me down and we watched all 8 movies together. At the end of the first movie, Harry returns to the Dursleys and I asked my SO ‘when does he move in with the Weasleys?’ They said ‘he doesnt’ which made me very confused because i had vivid memories of harry living with them. (1/2)

Vivid like, I could’ve -sworn- that he moved in with them during his second or third year. SO says no, I drop it despite knowing…

i just have to say you are a huge inspiration for discovering kintypes. i found that introspection is very important and ive not only discovered but rejected and labelled a lot more alterhuman identities from introspection! its a lot more clearer to me now that ive taken time to discover myself

Thank you so much for the compliment, anon ^^ I’m always glad to see other people exploring their identities and discovering things about themselves! <3

This is the most respectful video explanation of kin and fictionkin that I’ve seen yet. I hope everybody takes a minute to watch this, and…

sensationalpsychoticskell: “You can’t kin outside your race/disability” what next, you can’t kin outside your species? Otherkin gatekeeping is fking wild

I’m the anon w/ the ask bout my polykin s/o and I just wanted to say thank you SO much!! You’re reply is very helpful and makes me understand his situation more. Very good suggestion to bring it up just by talking about kin feels so it feels like a conversation, not me interrogating him. and ur “relationship advice” was actually helpful lol anyways, just wanted to say thanks for ur help!! I feel much better and confident

I’m so glad that you felt what I said was helpful! Best wishes to you and your s/o and I really hope your conversation goes…
