Having a body that doesn’t match that of your kinself/kintype is a normal otherkin and fictionkin experience. Its practically a requirement. It is of the…

It is perfectly legitimate to be kin of someone whose body, mind and/or life experiences are different than yours. Kin do not chose their kintype/kinself.…

Hello! I really hope this is okay to ask this here… I have no one else to go to and I’ve been having a really hard time with trying to deny and suppress these kin feels I have been getting, Because from what I have heard a lot of people say it is very wrong, and impossible to be kin with a character who is physically disabled if you irl are able bodied. Could I get some of your thoughts on this? At least just go easy on me if you feel the same as others I have seen ;;; thank you!

I am so sorry that you are being harassed this way. It is absolutely possible for you, or anyone else, disabled or able bodied, to…

Why do you take it as a personal attack when other people explain their being otherkin as psychological? Like, you realize a person can think it’s psychological for them without invalidating your belief that it is spiritual for you, right? Like, not everyone’s experience comes from the same origin. Just because one person thinks their experience is the result of neurodiversity, doesn’t mean that they’re telling you that your magical experiences are “all in your head.”

Like, not everyone’s experience comes from the same origin. That’s right. Not everyone’s experience is from the same origin. Which makes it (when the origins…

I think the person that complained about the “are fictionkin crazy” article misunderstood the point you were trying to make. What I took from it is that you weren’t saying ‘kin can’t have mental illnesses — you were saying that BEING ‘KIN is not a mental illness, nor is it indicative of having one. You can be mentally ill and ‘kin. Being ‘kin does not make you mentally ill. Separate things.

Exactly my point, the two are entirely separate.

um i’m really bothered by the page about fictionkin being “cr-zy” (i’m censoring it because though i am mentally ill, it is an ableist slur that is used to target those with mental illnesses different than the ones i have and if someone is neurotypical than they definitely shouldn’t be using that word). a lot of things on the page are ableist. it seems to be throwing mentally ill kin under the bus and implying that those who are kin for psychological reasons aren’t as valid as spiritual kin.

I am sorry you are bothered. That page was written nearly 10 years ago, and is not entirely how I would phrase things today. That…
