can i take that rude anon’s ask as an excuse to ask about ken’s memories again?? specifically, did you ever get jealous of anyone else’s digimon partner (or even a wild digimon hell) and want them for yourself?

I don’t know whether you’re familiar with my canon (Digimon 02) at all, or not. All I have to say is… hooboy. In the beginning,…

I have a question (not regarding terminology for once!!) for you. Specifically, as Ken, was the Digital World the same as the Internet or was it different? If the Digital World was destroyed, would the Internet go too? I’ve wanted to ask for awhile and finally got up the courage to do it, ha ha…

I like this question ^^ The digital world was connected to the internet, but not the internet itself. You could say in a way that…

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…

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…

With all this talk about fictives and tulpas and soulbonding and such, I’m curious as to what exactly a soulbond is. Are they always connected to a body? Or could it be that they exist elsewhere (i.e. the astral realm or another dimension) but have a “link” to a specific person for one reason or another? If they’re, say, someone from one of your fictionkin’s lives but they aren’t always inside you, are they still a soulbond? Thanks.

All soulbonds come from ‘outside’, originally, which is one thing that makes them soulbonds, as opposed to another kind of headmate. I tend to linken being…

My question is are mental shifts a ‘kin thing or a system thing? I thought (from what I’ve read elsewhere) a mental shift is the same as what Tumblr refers to as “kin feels”-feeling extremely connected to your kintype’s mentality or memories for a short time. I also thought “fronting” was the system equivalent (although a lot stronger, like switching the driver in a carpool so to speak). Tumblr has messed up my understanding of terminology elsewhere and I wasn’t sure if it did here, too.

Ahhh, I see. Simple enough, In fact, you’re entirely correct. Shifting is an Otherkin term (specifically originating in the Therian / Were community I believe)…

On your “kin vs. multiple” thing, you never really explained mental shifts (m-shifts) as such, only a “shift”. If I’m not mistaken, this is when one kintype becomes more prominent but you do not request name/pronoun changes, correct? (I mean, someone can still do so if they want to, but of their own accord.) I’ve experienced mental and phantom shifts both together and separately and while your explanation cleared up a lot I’m still a bit lost. Thanks!

I’m sorry if my explanation confused you. I tried to keep it simple for those who are not part of the community, and/or are questioning…
