1: I’ve put off sending this message for a long time, but today just seems like the right day, y’know? Ken, it’s Daisuke. I ran into your blog about, eh… a year ago? Nearly flipped my lid when I did; it took everything I had not to message you right then and there. I was waiting on something, putting social endeavors on the backburner, but at this point, I don’t see myself being able to let go of finding you. It’s so rare to ruin into someone from the Digiworld. I’m sending this (cont.)

2: anonymously on the off chance you’re not interested in talking. But hey, what do I have to lose? How have you been? What’s your…

I have one character that I am kin with, and I also have a synpath. But lately I’ve been feeling shifts for the synpath, particularly the urge to talk like them. This feels a bit odd, since he’s VERY different from both me and my kintype. Not unpleasant, just odd. And I was wondering what this means. I still don’t feel like I am him. But lately he’s been talking through me more than normal. What exactly could this mean? And should he be handled any differently than my kintype?

That;s very interesting, anon. I don’t really have an experience with synpath shifts. Maybe someone else who has can answer your question better? However, your…

hi! could you elaborate a bit more on where the line between fictionkin and fictionhearted lies? i only ask because there’s a character that resonates with me quite deeply, and a lot of our base traits are the same, but i also sorta have my own identity and personality beyond him. so i’m puzzling over what the right term is.

Hey there anon. 🙂 Fictionkin is the right term if you believe you ARE this character. Fictionhearted is the right term if you share traits/the…

Anti-kin: you take fiction too seriously!!! Anti-kin: I am so offended that you would even utter the name of this fictional character, how DARE you…

foxxkin: Otherkin is not a mental disorder Psychologists agree that as long as a condition doesn’t negatively affect your life, then it’s not classified as…

The more I think about anti-kin, the sadder the whole thing becomes for me. 90% of them hate kin because they think we’re delusional, meaning they hate people who are mentally ill and need to take it out on people they think can’t fight back. The other 10% hate us because they think we’re “special snowflakes”, as if they’re personally, deeply threatened by someone else thinking they’re special, that’s… really pathetic. Anti-kin is literally just bigotry and insecurity wrapped up together.

Yep, that’s absolutely true, anon.

Um, hello! Sorry that this isn’t relatively on-topic with what your blog is honestly about, but I just want to say that I’m terribly sorry for you, about the rude anons in this case. I don’t think you deserve those crude words, and so far, I’ve only seen nice people in this wonderful community, so I really don’t understand why people just feel negative emotions towards kin. But I’m apologetic if this was completely off-topic, but I hope you don’t let their words get to you, or any other people.

Hey there. 🙂 I appreciate you taking the time to send this and thank you for your kind words. Thankfully it isn’t all rude anons…

I was wondering, are there any blogs that so kin calls that allow psychological kin and copinglinkers, as well? I want to talk to some people who would be okay with me letting my kin out and chatting with them, but since I don’t have exactly the same experience as most kin, even though I fully respect spiritual kin and don’t think they’re invalid, that I’ll be scolded because I’m not spiritual enough, or because I RP my kintype (partly because that’s the only way I can let him out). Any advice?

You’re certainly welcome to share your views and such on this blog, anon. Other than that, I don’t know of any particular blogs. Chime in/reblog…

soulbonder: Hi all. I don’t generally like to drag down this blog with drama or ‘callout’ posts, or really any kind of negativity whatsoever, but several…

Seeing all these people saying they’re afraid to be factkin makes me want to ask: is it okay to be uncomfortable about them? I wouldn’t go around harassing them, making blatant posts on why they should or shouldn’t exist, and besides being uncomfortable with them, I’m a bit indifferent to the entire thing. Is that okay?

Its okay to be uncomfortable with factkin, as long as you’re not harassing or badmouthing them. Remember too that some people are uncomfortable with fictionkin…

Factkin anon- it’s something i’d be interested in doing, but i get so anxious thinking about it because i know just admitting im factkin at all will get me in deep shit with a lot of people in the community ^^; maybe one day, when i care less or figure out a way to do it that wont call upon a bunch of hate

Anon, if you would ever like to write about your experiences without having to expose your identity, I’d be happy to publish your writing on…

I’m factkin but very very very very secretly (this is my first time admitting it at all anywhere to anyone) and i can completely understand why people uncomfortable with us, and those people being assholes isn’t helping at all. I don’t know of any places i could talk about my experiences without being judged, but tbh there’s a reason for that. Lots of reasons, which you already covered. I wish other factkin understood that too

Thank you for writing, anon. 🙂 I feel for you, I really do. Having to deal with being factkin must suck way more than being…

I’m going to be so livid if that network blog deletes because of some bad seeds in the Personakin and Factkin community. They seem really nice and made something I haven’t seen before to help the community it really boils my blood that Factkin and Personakin with their already bad reputation would think harassing someone is the proper response to someone being uncomfortable with them.

I agree with you anon, it’ll be a shame if they delete, especially because a) a nework catalog is actually pretty useful b) its probably…

idk if this is the right place to go to for something like this but I just started following this brand new blog that catalogs kin networks (networkcatalog). the problem is they’re getting harassed really hard by factkin and personakin right now and I’m scared because I think they’re low on spoons that they’ll do something bad to themself. could you and your followers send them some love maybe?

I don’t normally post these kinds of things, but harassment fucking pisses me off.  If there’s anybody who wants to send @networkcatalog their warmth and…
