You know it’s funny, I could never figure out why I had SUCH a strong connection to this one show, to the point that I felt like I belonged in that world and could never get it out of my mind and felt nostalgic thinking about it… until this one character shows up in a later season and it turns out I’m kin with them, and suddenly it all makes sense.

I feel you, anon! Glad you figured it out!

Would demonkin have to be tied to any specific religion?

Nope, there are demons in different mythologies all over the world, and in folklore that isn’t considered to be religious.

Yeah, but kin isn’t all about biology. If you identify as Ash Ketchum, you’re not saying “I should have been born a human child in the Kanto region”, you’re saying you’re a particular person with a particular personality and set of experiences. Likewise, a royalkin probably isn’t identifying with royalty as a physical organism, but how royalty exists and the intense feeling that their existence should match.

Couldn’t you pose that argument about animals though? That any animal could think it’s a different one if it’s raised by another one? Like dogs raised by cats, humans raised by dogs, etc? So there’s no validity unless you remember seeing your own reflection and being able to recognize the animal now?

A duckling raised by dogs may love and cuddle with dogs, and may even think of itself as one, but it still can’t survive by…

Royalty specifically does come with a kind of specific worldview and expectations on how to be treated and treat others, similar to divinity in it’s own right. Idk if it’d technically be kin but I can kind of envision what someone might be saying when they mean royalkin.

No. Royalty only comes with a specific kind of worldview and expectations if you are raised (IE trained) to be royalty as you grow up…

What’s your opinion on people who are kin of concepts, like “royalkin”? This was prompted by the person claiming to be “princesskin”… I don’t understand how someone can be “kin” of a social/economic class. Remembering a kin life where you, an individual, were a part of that social class, and highly identifying with the experience of being that class, sure. But claiming to be “royalkin”, to me, is no different than saying you’re “poorkin” and that’s kind of fucked up imho. What do you think?

The people who use terms like ‘royalkin’ or ‘princesskin’, or for sake of example, lawyerkin, janitorkin, stockanalystkin, zookeeperkin, blacksmithkin, etc etc…. fundamentally misunderstand what the term ‘kin’ denotes.…

My kin is feral but I don’t relate much to being feral and I interpret myself more as an anthropomorphic version of my kin, like a fursona? It feels more like a combination of my kin and my physical self as I am now, and it feels more comforting, even though its not how my kin really was. My fursona is “literally me”, but not as I was then, and not as I am now. Is it odd to do that or feel that way?

Anon, I suggest you take a look at this post I reblogged the other day, because I think it sums up exactly what you’re feeling! http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/146149276362/lizardywizard-i-think-ive-finally-figured-out

Spiritual and reincarnation otherkin don’t need to have memories, correct?

Nope. Nobody ‘needs’ to have memories as long as you believe you are your kintype and have at least some experiences that lead you to believe…

Can someone be spiritually/past life Angelkin but psychologically demonkin?

That sounds like it would equal out to being a fallen angel to me?

Can psychological kin identify as otherkin (let’s say demonkin) but still identify with a certain appearance of demonkin? Like, they believe they are meant to have black hair and blue eyes etc?

Yes, absolutely. Most otherkin have a personal ‘look’ that they believe they have.
