Your kintype is not stupid

I promise!

You know how many years I have wasted trying to convince myself that I was something more mainstream like a fox or a wolf?

All because I didn’t want to admit my actual kintype because I thought it was ugly at the time

I basically gaslit myself into falling under the ‘characteristics’ of a wolf because that was the majority of the community’s species

And when I didn’t shift or have the memories of a wolf I felt even worse about myself and thought I was doing something wrong

Don’t hide what your brain or feeling are trying to tell you! Wether you’re a bug, fish, plant, object, household pet, or anything else uncommon…

BE YOU!!!!

Somewhere :tm: within the world of Film Slate Phantom, there'd exist some zombie-adjacent fungus that behaves similar to cordyceps and gradually takes over objects, turning them into husks that only exist to spread said zombie-infection (dude it's an old theater full of All Kinds of Mold and Also Curses what did you expect).

This miscellaneous doodle page is the result of the thought of a funni /s little scenario of Monitor getting infected by said thing at some point while poking around old abandoned rooms in the theater (they turn out fine in the end).

Tip for all Dragonkin!

There is a website called Flight Rising that is normally used to raise dragons and the like, BUT did you know that they have a generator on their site that is free to use that could help you depict what you look like (as a dragon)?

Here’s how to do it: Go to https://www1.flightrising.com/ and go down to where you see the Library section. What you want to do is select “Scrying Workshop”.

Once you click on Scrying Workshop, go to Predict Morphology.

This will take you to the generator. This was the easy part, now let’s get into specifics.

When it comes to the Morphology generator, it is typically on the site for users to depict what their future dragons will look like. However, you can just as easily use it to help you with figuring out what you look like (at least in specifics, that is).

The page for the Morphology generator should look something like this for you:

OPTIONAL: I recommend looking into some of the races of Flight Rising’s dragons as well as their behavior and feeding habits before selecting what may visually apply the most to you. As a former user of the site, I was already familiar with a few but I wanted to look into newer species to see if they reflected what I specifically felt with one of my kintypes.

I’ve found that not only do Obelisk Dragons feel the closest to me aesthetically, everything about them checks out for me minus their diets (I don’t particularly care for seafood, and I am very grossed out by most bugs). Thus, here we are:

If you don’t particularly care to do that when depicting yourself, then that’s fine too! Do what makes you most comfortable, just be sure to give credit to FR when using these depictions of your dragon kintype!

Hope this helps for some!

One of the things that bugs me about people gatekeeping otherkin with "you have to know a lot about your kintype to claim it" is that it is also heavily alienating to psychological/non-past life kin people who might've latched onto a kintype for reasons that relate to symbolism/personal experience/what-have-you and it still doesn't make their experience any less valid if they don't "know enough" about the kintype irl.

Also a very good point! There's a number of reasons someone might identify as otherkin or therian where past a certain point, the biological reality doesn't... matter that much? Archetypal and symbolic identities, a good number of psychological explanations, etc. etc.

Otherkin Rumours Debunked

Hi! It's Pine Fairfoxie with a Big Long Post! I've been wanting to make something like this for a long time. When I see negative comments, rumours, and propaganda about otherkin, I already know they're untrue. But not often do I examine exactly why. Today I'll be doing just that, and hopefully contributing to the common knowledge of our community. So without further ado, let's have a look at the 11 most common rumours and misconceptions about Otherkin.

(Note: I use Otherkin as an umbrella term that includes Therians.)

1. "You're doing it for attention!"

This is usually the opposite of the truth. Otherkin generally like to stick to our tight knit communities of peers who understand us. We usually don't tell anyone IRL, or we risk being disrespected and ridiculed. As for me, almost no one in my life knows, not my family or even my best friends. My romantic partner knows, simply because I want to be fully myself around him. Even then, I usually indulge in my most obvious otherkin urges when I'm by myself only. I don't want any attention for this and I don't want people to view me differently. I want my human disguise to work, yknow? That being said, some otherkin do like attention and are flashy about it. What in the world is wrong with that?

2. "Otherkin is a mental illness/dangerous for mentally ill people!"

Look, it's not that there's not a deep end you can go off because there definitely is, but most of us are perfectly reasonable about our identities. Otherkin in itself is not a mental illness, though it does intersect with many mental illnesses. However, most people who tell their personal therapist about their otherkin identity are told that it isn't dangerous, and many are even willing to work with you on solutions to ease the less fun parts of being otherkin and will encourage you to identify as otherkin if it improves your life in some way. Though otherkin CAN be a backdrop to delusions or even clinical lycanthropy, these are special cases and not the norm, and are treated accordingly. Either way, this is no excuse to bully or ostracize us, and doing so is blatantly ableist.

3. "You're faking/it's all made up"

Faking what? A feeling? An experience? A personal identity? There's no faking any of these things, which at its core is what otherkin is. Any way you choose to contextualize your life is all made up, because language and society are made up. Humans are a type of animal capable of complex philosophical thought and self actualization. There's nothing fake about that. If someone is pretending to be someone who's not themself, the best thing to do is wait it out. It is exhausting to be anything other than your true self and anyone who tries will not sustain it for long. If otherkin is a phase for some people, let them have their fun and move on.

4. "It's just roleplay"

Many otherkin like to roleplay. But they are not the same thing. At the end of the day, a roleplayer goes back to being their normal self. For otherkin, this IS our normal selves.

5. "It's the same as furries"

Some furries are otherkin, some otherkin are furries. Some people keep the two distinct, some don't. Furry is simply an art form. Otherkin is an identity.

6. "There are no otherkin of bugs and fish and unpopular animals, only pretty looking things like wolves and foxes and dragons."

False! There are in fact many bugkin, many kintypes of "undesireable" animals, and rare animals too! I know of someone who's isopodkin. As for why there are mostly mammals and "cool/pretty" kintypes out there, well, humans are mammals. Of course it would be more likely that you'd discover your fox self than your hagfish self. Some people don't even know their kintype exists, and may go their whole lives unaware of their connection to a very niche animal, and may even write it off as a fascination. The anatomy of mammals is easier for us to understand, so of course a foxkin would be more likely to stumble upon their true nature than a hagfishkin who's never even heard of hagfish. And then, a foxkin is more likely to enjoy being a fox than a hagfishkin is to enjoy being a hagfish, and therefore is more likely to devote time and energy to indulging it online.

7. "Otherkin steal art and images!"

This is true, unfortunately, our community is rampant with unsourced and uncredited images. Many of us in the community are working to reduce the amount of stolen and unethical content in our tags by spreading awareness of the issue and promoting properly credited or original content. This is not a facet by which you should judge the community as a whole, and many of us do make beautiful original art and take our own photos.

8. "Otherkin are all children"

Nah, we've been around online since mailing lists were a thing. The oldest known otherkin mailing list was Elfkind Digest and the oldest online forum was alt.horror.net/werewolves (I hope I got that right?) Thing is, the oldest of otherkin like to hang out on forums and generally keep to their tight knit communities. Tumblr has almost all ages on it, but the more frequent posters tend to be younger. Tiktok also has all ages but is mostly children. I've watched the Tumblr otherkin community grow up together and I think we've become more nuanced than before. I think this will happen too with the kids on whatever new social media this community finds its way to. I think kids and younger people are more inclined to post more frequent and flashy content that everyone sees. A Tiktok moodboard is going to naturally get more publicity than a long and carefully worded essay by an older community member. If you're not seeing adults you might just be at the kids' table.

9. "It's a white people thing"

Entirely False! I know/have known many otherkin of colour and otherkin from all around the world. Otherkin is non-denominational and multicultural and if you erase that you're erasing a significant foundation of the community. No community is completely devoid of racism, unfortunately. But we are still a diverse group. I can acknowledge that otherkin is prevalent in countries with internet access because, well, we find each other on the internet. It also stands to reason that in a society founded on white supremacy, a white person is more likely to feel safe/comfortable expressing themselves in public spaces. I honestly think that this is a throwaway line made to ridicule/discredit us for being "weird," but if you seriously do think that only white people can be otherkin, then perhaps you're the one who needs to go outside.

10. "Otherkin are zoophiles/practice bestiality"

False. The exceeding majority of otherkin are outspoken against all forms of animal abuse. When an abusive situation in the community comes to light, the most common practice is to cut ties, denounce the behaviour, and spread awareness of the issue to keep each other safe. Some people may incorporate otherkin into their kink scene. What they do behind closed doors with consenting (human/human shaped) adults continues to be none of our business.

11. "Otherkin is a cult"

Otherkin might just be one of the most misunderstood communities on the internet today. But at its core it is about self discovery, personal connections, and community. And I will always be proud to be one of us.

Otherkin is not a cult because there is no leader trying to take your money and bodily autonomy. If someone is doing this to you directly under the guise of the otherkin identity, which, yes, has happened before, you need to get safely away from that person/group. Cults can and will use anything to try to recruit you. This is why keeping your identity private online is so so important! If someone claims to possess secret knowledge, wants you to join their pack with extremely strict/authoritarian rankings, is asking you for money, or insists on knowing your location/identity, these are big red flags and those people should be blocked and avoided.

🌿🌿🌿

Thanks to all who gave me ideas to help this post happen! And I hope that anyone who sees this walks away with a better understanding of our community :3
