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…

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…

[K1]Saw your post on multiverse stuff. Truth be told, I almost didn’t write this. Private doesn’t even begin to describe this stuff, and yet here I am, albeit on anon. I don’t know why I keep it so hidden, though. Every now and again it leaks into my fiction, but I stamp out the threads pretty quickly. Had I seen your post many years ago, I probably would have passed it off as just being one of those things that resonates with people for some reason, like the structure of the hero’s journey.

[K2]What bigger, more exciting stakes were there than multiversal danger? Heck, even I, a non-kin, had many thoughts about it… well, guess who eventually ended…

(Glamourbombing anon) Since otherkin used to be listed under the same general umbrella of old souls, starseeds, etc., and they’re usually said to be incarnated to help the Earth reach a new level of consciousness, you’re probably not wrong. In fact, I feel like I was in fact sent here to help others question reality and spread knowledge, so I actually agree with you there.

Good thoughts! I definitely remember the days back then of talking about our purpose, and a lot of crossover with’indigo children’, etc.

You know, darkness can also be interpreted as a lack of knowledge or understanding. Apparently there was an old otherkin hobby called “glamourbombing”, which fell out of use because people thought a “forced awakening” of the general populace was a bad idea. If you don’t know what this is, it’s basically doing something highly unusual either overtly or subtly, from wearing wings/tails in public to leaving ridiculous notes ala obviousplant.

Ah, glamour bombing. I remember glamour bombing. For those who don’t know what it is, glamour bombing is/was a practice popularized by the Fae and…

There are a lot more older ‘kin (fiction and ‘other, not to mention multiples too) than people on this site realize. Most of us have stopped putting ourselves out there so much because when you get to be 30+, being open is more dangerous than when you’re a kid. Many of us have obligations and people we need to protect (jobs, kids, etc.). Being open can harm reputations, even get children taken away. It’s not safe to have beliefs/lives that fall outside the status quo.

So true! Keeping a clean reputation is important which is one big reason my kin blogs do not get related/linked to my other blogs!

I feel kinda bad, like I might be using a soulbond. They don’t seem to be active (or I can’t hear them idk) in anything other than when I’m upset, when they come over and cuddle up and tell me they love me. It’s nice, but it feels wrong and I want to be able to talk to them more. On the other hand it feels like they take over my body, at least partially, when I go outside the house, but it doesn’t feel like communicating. How can I reach out and talk and listen better?

First of all, try not to feel bad. ^^ For one thing, communication with bonds isn’t always easy at first. For another thing, soulbonds often…
