Copinglink is a very new term. I’m pretty sure it’s meant to replace copingkin? @inexplicablehanyou can probably explain better than I can.
geostigmata: I really, really hate when people use their kin identities to spite others. Harassing non-kin fans with your memories and headcanons, screaming that they’re…

Yes you can. How about you stop harassing people you have no business with.
I’ll tell you how I feel. As I’ve said before, its complete and utter bullshit. Being kin does not give you the right to tell…
The thing is, otherkin/fictionkin stuff keeps getting mixed up with mental health issues and sexuality, gender and identity politics, and it… really has nothing to…

There’s absolutely no ‘rule’ for this, its entirely up to what you and your bonds feel comfortable with. As long as you and they are…
