Hey love. I know you’ve been getting a lot of hate lately about your mental health post. I personally completely understand what you were saying. Using fantasy to cope with mental illness can be problematic, while using your kin identity to do so is not. Anyway, I just want you to know that I support you, and I hope things get better. <3

Thank you very much 🙂

Hey yo, I know that you may be getting crap for “gate keeping”, but I gotta say that I agree with you on these matters. You can’t ‘become’ an Otherkin to cope. It doesn’t work that way. It’s either you are one or you’re not. Good luck my friend

Thank you for this message right now. I really needed it. 🙂 People frustrate me endlessly– its good to know not everyone is against you.

I immensely appreciate what you’ve brought to tumblr with you, the knowledge and experience with these things.

No, thank you for sending me this message right now. I really needed it. Appreciate it <3 Soulbonding is such a wonderful and fascinating experience,…

As someone with diagnosed (and currently untreated) psychotic depression (undiagnosed with almost certainly lot of other stuff, too, tbh), I agree with you. I’m a Pagan and spiritual kin so when people automatically assume I’m copingkin cuz of their over-abundance in the kin tags and because I’m open about my mental illness I feel like it delegitimatizes both oppressed groups I’m a part of (Pagan and having a mental illness). I wish they’d call themselves something else like copingfriend or smth

thank you. I’m sorry people make assumptions about your kin idenity, that’s not cool. I really appreciate you taking the time to send me a…

Why do you think there’s only one way to be kin? It’s not like any way is mutually exclusive.

Lesbians and heterosexual men both are attracted to women, but if heterosexual men called themselves lesbians, the actual lesbians would be rightfully pissed off.

PSA

If you believe that being kin is caused by mental illness, then you do not believe that being kin is real.

Kin and Mental Illness

Okay, you know what, this is getting ridiculous. I am not trying to keep anybody ‘out’ of the kin community. Especially not people with mental…
