is it weird to keep my kins a “private” thing? like my friends who are kin tell everyone and talk abt it openly and idk i don’t want to tell anyone?? i want to keep it to myself becuase it’s a private thing for me and idk it just makes me feel weird to tell people and i feel almost invalidated because of that bc everyone else so open abt it and im just :/

I don’t think its weird at all. In my personal opinion, being kin IS a private thing. Its not something I need to share with…

So I’m aware that you can’t choose your kintype, but I have a bit of a question. See, I’m still new to the community and terms, though I’ve been awakened for years. I am a Cybertronian who lived and died as a member of the Decepticons. But in the course of living this life, I’ve had a very different set of experiences, and don’t agree with those ideals or goals anymore. I know I used to be one, but I don’t consider myself a Decepticon any longer. Does that count as me “choosing” who I am?

That absolutely doesn’t count as ‘chosing your kintypes’, it counts as choosing to determine your own future and ideals. Maybe you can call yourself a cybertronian…

as someone whos fictionkin, i can sort of see why people dislike it when people tag their art as kin… i asked an artist who dislikes it and they way they described it was that they put their heart and soul into their art, and to see someone claim its *their* heart and soul feels like its being claimed as their own. to me it sort of sounded similar to when people who are kin arent comfortable seeing doubles of themselves. and i sympathize with that feeling… as long as its not because (1)

of a reason like ‘fuck otherkin i dont want them on my post’ it doesnt seem rude to me? sure, it sucks because i wanna…

Hello, You don’t know me. but i have come to apologize. I watch Amazingathiest, and i used to be an anti-otherkin. i have said mean things to people, and have gotten death threats in return. a vicious cycle if you will. Tonight i stumbled on a post, on an other-kin page, denouncing otherkin who were being viciously aggressive/defensive and attacking the trolls back. Long story short…well. sorry for being an anonymous dick. Doesn’t seem like most of you “other-kin” are that bad after all. peace

Thank you for your honesty and your apology. I truly believe that if people were to look deeper at the community and engage in open…

i know this is really vague and i’m sorry to ask a question like this but you’re one of the best people i can think to ask; what do you think about people who are fickin with “bad” characters? i feel like i might be kin (or at least -hearted with one) and the potential backlash to that makes me scared to do more than sort of consider it.

I’ve been a ‘badguy’ in just about every life I’ve had. My kinselves are Vriska Serket and the Digimon Emperor. Both of those characters have hurt…
