I think the reason I instinctively think anime fictionkin stuff applies to me is because(aside from being such a massive weeb it’s what you’d expect) I’m so into anime and thinking of anime as ideal reality, that how I view my divine form is so anime-esque. It’s like I’m generically animekin. Wow. Amazing.
Being ‘generically anime kin’ is not a thing.
I wasn’t really being literal or completely serious(notice I said “it’s like”; the point is how I think about myself) but now I kind of want to say I’m generically animekin just to piss off people who say “(x)kin is not a thing”.
Look man, I don’t know you. I haven’t even had a look at your blog. Until I know better, Im going to assume you’re an awesome, but confused person. I’m not trying to be the word police here, I’m really not. You can use watever words you want. But…
Being fictionkin means a thing. It means a particular thing. It means that you believe that your identity has a literal, usually spiritual origin, in some specific fiction. A reincarnated pikachu, or Legolas, or some random kid who went to Hogwarts.
It doesn’t mean you like that thing, or you identify with it. Its something you literally ARE. You can’t chose to be it, or not to be. you can only acknowledge it about yourself, or not.
And the problem with saying you’re generic animekin isn’t that I can’t take a joke, or think I’m being opressed or something. Its because everyone on tumblr is goddamn confused.
I see people here all day long who just pick their identities out of the air and wear them like a new outfit. And that’s not fictionkin. That’s something else.
