i just saw your post about the multiverse war and i can say that i feel the exact same way! i especially identify with what you were talking about with a “beacon”

Good to know! It seems I was right and this does resonate with a lot of people. I’ll be writing more of my thoughts on…

Do you know of any good blogs that post stuff like that, introspective on oneself?

I don’t know of any but lets start one.

I actually had no idea that memories could come in feelings… No one I’ve ever seen has talked about things like that. That’s a huge comfort to me, and I thank you, especially for your personal experiences. As someone with anxiety, it’s super hard to feel validated about a lot of things, you know? I’m feeling a lot more confident about it. Thank you, once again. :)

I’m really glad to help. 🙂 My fiancee has serious anxiety, and she often feels like she is not good enough for one reason or…

So… was there no physical interaction? Did the FF7 house destroy any chance of that or did things like “howls” or other meetups actually occur? I was mostly wondering because you said glamourbombing didn’t help the cause, and I’m not sure what that meant. Did people interview the glamourbombers and they straight-up said “I’m an elf” on live TV??

Otherkin meetups did, and still do occur. I’ve never been to one myself, but they’re very definitely a real thing that happens. Google ‘kin gather’ and…

I’m so sorry, I don’t know if this has been answered before, but this is really causing me some grief… I always hear of kin talking about their memories as their kintype. I have no memories. Instead, I have strong desires and thoughts like ‘I need to look like this character again. This body isn’t me anymore’ and desires to have objects my kintype had (ie certain jewellery)… Does that make me any less of a fictionkin? I think about this constantly,and having no memories makes me feel invalid

Same anon without memories… Furthermore, I have a lot of coincidences. I’ve always loved albinism and wantd to be one, and wanted to be left…

Damn, I missed out on the otherkin “golden age” for sure. Since you were presumably there, what was it like? Was the bad press as bad as the furry fandom got it, worse, or less severe? I just want to know what the community was like before Tumblr became part of it (like fictionkin ACTUALLY talking about past lives/purpose/etc.)

Well, I don’t know if I’d call it the ‘golden age’ but it certainly was a different age, to be sure. It had its positives and…
