i sometimes use ID interchangably with kin when im talking about my kins. that might just be a habit i picked up from my cousin. either way, i mostly say kins…

Interesting. The language seems to be very mixed/confused at the moment.

People on fandom use literally me to mean wow I love this character they act like me but we are not the same person, there is a confusing language phenomenon or using literal to mean not literal. A lot of people using it don’t even know what otherkin means.

I thought that might be the case. However I do see some people using it interacting with kin and the kin tag. Hmm.

I use id as I strongly identify with this but I’m not necessarily kin with it, I was using to replace it the me and kin tag that are more obvious. Apparently this could be misunderstood, I’m running out of ideas.

Thank you for the input! I thought this may be the case for some people.

Nightly Spam in #fictionkin

There is another spam flood in #fictionkin. It looks like the spam generally starts around midnight-1AM EST It is clickbait ads, and probably leads to…

Mentally ill person here: “insane” isn’t a NICE word, but I’m pretty sure only tumblr considers it a slur. But yyyyes, anon probably should try to avoid using it when referring to mentally ill people!

Yeah, that was my thought, too, anon. I wouldn’t consider it a slur face to face maybe (unless someone was yelling it in my face???),…

How do you tell mentally ill (AKA insanity) people, from those who just identify as other then human spiritually or psychologically?

Easy, they will tell you. Kin who identify as such due to mental illness (copingkin) are generally very vocal about it. I believe that mentally…

I always thought that people use the term “ID” rather than “kin” if they’re copingkin.

That was my impression as well. In which case I encourage it wholeheartedly ^^

(Sorry I sent in my last ask too early, so I’m going to retype it) I use the term main ID to mean the kintypes I identify with most? Like, some of my kintypes are ‘yeah that’s me’ but then there are the ones that are literally me, and I call them my main IDs.

Thanks for the resend 🙂 This is interesting to hear. I wonder how many others also use it this way? I am curious because I…

What exactly should kin memories be like? Im asking because I’ve recently discovered I might be fictionkin and I’m trying to see if I get memories. Today I was focusing on trying to remember something and things automatically popped into mind. My gut feeling told me how some of the characters might’ve felt during the memory. What struck me most was the fact that someone who kins as a character from the same series remembers something that just seems “right” to me. Are these memories I’m getting?

There is nothing that kin memories ‘should’ be like. Like normal memories, they are different for everyone who experiences them. Sometimes, like you said, it just…

So I was reading this manga series and I got this really intense feeling from it, that I had to put it down. Could these be kinfeels?

It could be kinfeels. It could also be that the story simply hits you in a particularly intense way. It could be that the story…
