I'm feeling the joy over little things, I made my first ever edit, it's still not done yet but like like like. Kin euphoria of sorts and I feel like I just made a childhood "need" get met.
I am edgy emo and cool (cringe) edit maker like I always wanted to. Little me would have his mind blown over this 33 second clips mashed together with hard rock as background music.
not the twitter migrants putting "reblog heavy" in their bios on here... like yeah. that's what we do here
I started dating a dead space kin without ever even having seen a single thing about that game before, played it with my partner and in a few days I was like "This Isaac Clarke man is quite the silly, he looks exactly like one of my undiscovered kins haha how odd!" and here I am being Isaac.
For william and sly was just playig it again for the 1000th time and went like "yea, seems about right, flying fox."
For Nimona it was a really emotional experience actually, I read the book as a kid when Inwas 13-ish and I related to the feeling of being a shapeshifter but I wondered if it was possible to identify as a nonhuman but in a gender kind of way, then I shrugged it off and then when I saw a netflix adaptation was being made I was READY to SHIT on it so bad, then I watched it and I fucking cried my eyes out and instantly after a specific scene I knew I was her, she was my first ever fictional identity that was discovered if iirc, before that I didnt underatand the fictionkin identity at all and had a few prejudices about it.
Then Luke is a whole can of worms but he started off as a self-insert OC with the intent to be a vent character.
Then I kinfirmed him cus it was painful to separate him from me and now he gained semi consciousness.haha. fun stuff.
Kelvin started off as my favorite blorbo and I fixated so hard on him I became him.
hey fictionkin? uh quick question
how did you find out about your kintypes? please boost this around i need answers

I like minecraft. Most critters do. Y'know what would make it better? Being a dragon! I found this mod awhile back [Click Me for Curseforge Link] that allows you to play Minecraft, but as a dragon! I didn't really have high hopes but it actually is pretty cool. It's SUPER customizable and really changes how you go about the game, making actually playing the game more interesting (at least for me). It has different types of dragons with different abilities and stuff and its worth checking out, even if Minecraft isn't really your thing. Shaders and whatnot aren't included in the mod, and it's compatible with most mods I've played with. I HIGHLY reccomend playing with Create (Downgrade to 6.0.0) , ChoiceTheorem's Overhauled Village, Biomes O' Plenty, and JEI for a more immersive experience!!

Obligatory "Not sponsored" message. I just think the mod is cool.. Have fun dragon-ing!
✦ oh yeah. they'd be friends.
I am a fictionkin and fictive, a person for whom in my own daily life there IS a blurred line between fiction and reality, between what I know about characters from what's written about them in their source and what I know as my own truth because I know them as people.
So why, tell me why, that 19 years later, since 2006!, why I am STILL the one here reminding people that you have to maintain a separation between those two things when discussing a piece of fiction in its context as fiction?
Your "headcanons" the things you "just know" about a character aren't TRUE in any meaningful way in terms of discussing the piece of fiction as a piece of fiction. They're not relevant facts to anyone else, they're personal.
Why am I still the one who has to be here saying this almost 20 years later?
If you're just talking about your personal experiences its fine not to acknowledge any kind of separation, but when you're dialoging with other fans or talking about the source material as a piece of fiction you have GOT to acknowledge that there's a separation.
(Originally this was drawn for the Mosaic of the Unhuman zine, but after two years of no updates I think it's safe to say it's not getting released)
Everyone say hello to a rare depiction of Atleir. I wanted to convey how we're complimentary parts of a whole through the contrast of warm and cool tones and how certain parts, from the arms to the mane, can be looked at as though they merge into the same body. Note how the hand with phantom claws rests over the heart. The way things run parallel to each other is my experience otherheartedness and daemonism.
I tried that thing where you're casually open about your identity, without ever actually trying to explain otherkinity, and it fucking worked??
Went out for lunch with a guy I've only met twice, and he asked about my bison pendant. I just said that if I were an animal I'd be a bison, I relate to their resilience and stubbornness, it's kinda like a spiritual thing.
Later in the day, he commented about my not wearing a jacket in December and I jokingly asked if he'd ever seen a bison get cold (and then said something about my ADHD meds making me overheat).
And wouldn't you know it, a while later he himself made a joke about me being a bison, completely unprompted.
Incredible. I don't know what I was afraid of, I should've tried this way sooner!!
I'm many things, feel free to ask about what things or send me possum pictures.
