value-brand cereal posted:Hate Fibration if you ever get into start kin discourse again on tumblr, please consider starting the argument that Lucifer/Satankin are factkin and not mythkin, and anyone who says otherwise is a filthy atheist. Thanks in advance. I think it would be hilarious just for the arguments this could produce. When I was involved in the otherkin community I was struggling with a combination of gender issues and severe OCD that led to me feeling like a stranger in my own body and something so alien it didn't belong in the physical realm, issues which almost led to my death. And every pithy rationalization you've supplied here for the otherkin belief system is one that is completely illegitimate. When in the otherkin community I had to intervene in over five suicide attempts. FIVE! I was 19 and I had already stopped three people from killing themselves. Even the people who appeared to have their poo poo together were messed up. I ran across doctors, lawyers, engineers, and even an FBI agent. They all had enough issues to start a news stand. I am so tired of dealing with crazy people. More importantly, the decontextualization of beliefs surrounding animism, reincarnation, and tutelary animal spirits(what you called a "spirit animal" often called a "Power animal" by the new age community) in an attempt to justify the beliefs of otherkin has always struck me as very disingenuous. Religion and spirituality had, and continue to have despite what Richard Dawkins' and Sam Harris want you to believe, a profound influence on culture and the way people form groups. They serve important social functions and the removal of certain beliefs from the wider corpus of ideas forming specific religion to lend an air of credence to one's own beliefs can only be justified by a sort of calculated ignorance of the religion in question's metaphysical and cultural foundations. In short: No, never again. And You are obnoxious and I want to hit you with a sack of potatoes.

When I learned of the concept there was only (to my knowledge) otherkin and otakukin. TIL that there are many types of otherkin. I... I am not sure how to process this new knowledge. What happened? Why has this happened? What is happening right now? What is sanity? Is this what going mad feels like? Are tumbrkin a plot by the great old ones to bring the necromomicon into our reality, shattering the minds off all who read it? Is there a cthulhukin?

I know you said you had a rough time in that community, but I think it might have all been worth it for this one line. This made my day. Seriously though, I'm sorry how messed up that got for you. Did you ever seek professional help for the after effects of trying to handle those suicide attempts? Because it's seems like it's still raw and painful, and take it from a guy who is too lazy or stupid to seek help and decided to go to an internet forum rather than a therapist. You don't get better if you don't seek help.

I just wanted to say that I remember the old old time of SA of 2000-2001 and when people were looking up otherkin stuff then to make fun of, it was literally all vampires and fairies and elves. For some reason there was nobody calling themselves otherkin who was calling themselves any kind of animal with the one exception of dragons - the otherkin communities would yell at the animal people for being furries and kick them out. I just think that's funny, since apparently everyone who's an otherkin now is some sort of animal and I guess the vampire and elf dudes just hosed off to some other name.

Otherkin is old hat on Tumblr anyway, all the cool kids are claiming DID and usually list about a dozen alters on their blogs, quite often with accompanying pictures and tags for each of them. The most dedicated ones even have a "now fronting:" box around their about.

I remember around the same time there were people who called themselves 'lightwalkers' or 'darkwalkers'. They seriously believe they were agents of good or evil and they must do everything in their power to further their cause. Bizarre. Looking it up now, all I see is bad fantasy fiction and some stuff about video games.

eschaton posted:It's too spork monkey cheese to be believable. I remember a kin blog about a pink excavator kin from old tumblr mock threads so I half think they were getting trolled but eh, I'm not going to dig it up. Most, if not all, bizarre kintypes are trolls. Like slimekin, wafflekin, cisscumkin, poptartkin, etc. Pink excavator is probably another troll that everyone falls over to believe as legit because they want to get all affronted at the internet and poo poo.

Naaah. That person was unfortunately legit serious. They went by kit or something. I do not recall. They were also suffering from bipolar disorder and their mania often presented with psychosis, they also had borderline personality disorder. They also claimed to be a "multiple" and their various alters were a "dubstep sprite", a cybernetic dragon thing, and some other crap I don't remember. They were pretty ill and didn't manage their condition well at all. eschaton posted:It's too spork monkey cheese to be believable. I am amazed this tumblr wasn't deleted Looks like their view on it changed after a while: quote:5: So your kintype is a hydraulic excavator like the one in your avatar/like Pinkshovel?

To be fair, it's fun to imagine yourself as someone cooler than you are, no matter how old you get. Our dads like to think of themselves as cowboys (at least mine does), I'd give my nuts to be a Space Marine etc. It's just that you shouldn't let these fantasies take over. Hell, even assuming that *~all fictional worlds are real somewhere in the infinitely vast, wondrous multiverse~* and that you really are an incarnation of your favourite anime/40K character/power tool- so what? Right here and now you're a human being on Earth, and regardless of whether or not you're Heero Yuy you really need a bath. Like, right now.

To be fair, if I were to pretend I were a machine, I'd want to pretend I were something cool like a giant pink bulldozer. Actually, make that a neon pink F15 with purple flames on the sides and a lime green canopy. Yeah. That's cool. Maybe this person just watched too much Transformers and really dug Devastator? Now that I think about it, how come the badguys always got to be cool poo poo like tanks and jets and stuff? Paladinus posted:I like cats. What a coincidence! Me too!

Who is driving? Bear is driving! How can this be? I always liked to say that my spirit animal is the cockroach. Little fuckers are indestructible and that speaks to me. Forget being a regal, majestic predator. I want to be an unkillable species. It got some people unreasonably angry. Though if I had to have a spirit machine it'd be the lever. Simple but profoundly useful. Very practical. One of the basic tools that will never go away.
