Another Update

I’ve made a decision regarding the blog. From now on, I won’t be keeping the Ask open 24/7- instead, it will be open on the weekend and closing during the week so I don’t get overwhelmed like I have in the past. This way I can still offer help and encouragement without draining myself too much in the process. 

The blog will remain on hiatus until January 1st so I don’t have to worry about holiday stress, but I wanted to update everyone still following on the state of things! Thank you all for being patient, and I look forward to the next year! Happy holidays!

An Update

I’ll put this on a readmore, so I don’t clutter everyone’s dashes.

For starters, I would like to offer a sincere apology on how badly I failed regarding upkeep on this blog. When I first started kin-positivity, I had a lot of free time and very little stress in my life. However, between now and my last post, my anxiety had worsened, and I have college courses to deal with on top of that. Over the past year I’ve been pretty low on spoons, which is to blame for the complete lack of posts over that period. I’m in a better place now, but there’s a big chance I’ll relapse like that again.

I’ve cleared out the inbox, but as it stands, I’m worried about restarting this blog. For as much as I love helping people, I majorly feel like I’ve let people down when I go for such a long period of time without anything. Honestly, I’m amazed I still have followers!

All this said, I feel like I’ve come a long way in understanding my own kintypes better, as well as the idea of being Kin as a whole. I would like to have a second chance to give back to the community that helped me better understand and appreciate who I am. I just don’t trust myself to do so.

Essentially, the point of this post is to explain why I’ve been completely neglecting y’all, as well as ask a question- even though I won’t be able to reply nearly as regularly, and may go weeks without posts, would anyone still want me to run this blog? If not, should I delete the blog so the URL would be free, or leave it up for the posts currently on it?

some positivity for a deerkin please ?

Deer are such graceful and beautiful animals! People tend to take deer for granted, but they really are extremely quick and powerful animals, and vital to the ecosystems they belong to! You’re very important, anon!

Hi! I'm new to this blog but it looks REALLY good!! ^.^ can I have some positivity for rainkin?

Oh wow, I love rain! Not only does it help wildlife, there’s few things more soothing than the sound of rain pattering against the window. Rain can be a powerful force, too, vicious and beautiful in equal measures. That’s such an awesome kintype!

[kin-positivity]

Could I maybe get something for someone who's kin with Frisk and can't remember specifics about their route...

Hey there, anon, it’s always okay to not remember too well- or even at all! It can be frustrating, but it doesn’t make you any less valid or real. Just stay determined- I know you can figure it out eventually! You’re awesome!

[kin-positivity]

Could I get some positivity for Katniss Everdeen please?

You’re so strong and determined, anon! You’re always willing to help people, even if it means putting yourself in danger. You never give up, and your actions have bettered the lives of so many people! You’re a hero, anon!

[kin-positivity]

Can I get some positivity for a Rallen kin(from Spectrobes) who's been struggling with friends? It's alright if you can't find enough about me. My canon isn't too popular.

I don’t know too much about you, but you seem really brave and energetic! You get into trouble sometimes, but you’re eager to help anyone who needs it! Plus, you’ve got really awesome abilities, and you seem really strong. I hope your friend situation gets better- you’re amazing!

[kin-positivity]

May I get some positivity for a Dwarf? In old Norse myth we are a human sized type of Elf, not the more modern idea of a short bearded creature. We are natural shapeshifters and are also referred to as Black or Dark Elves. Thank you!

That sounds so cool! You must have been extremely powerful, and shapeshifting must have been awesome! I can’t say much about you, but I bet you were an absolutely amazing being who deserves more recognition!

[kin-positivity]

Please could I get some positivity? I'm alienkin and I'm really missing home right now. I don't even have any memories of it but I still really miss home

Oh man, that’s so cool, anon! Homesickness is absolutely awful, but you must have looked so unique! I can’t even begin to fathom what it would be like on your planet; though, I bet it was amazing! Even if you don’t have any memories, that’s fine- you’re just as valid as anyone else!

Any positivity for a lonely swallowkin when the swallows have migrated and left you in the cold.

It must be really hard to have all of your fellow swallows gone. You’re such a wonderful bird! Fast and beautiful, with a call that’s just as amazingly unique as they are! You don’t hear about them very often, and I think that’s a shame- Swallows are amazing! I hope you are rejoined by your fellow swallows soon!

A short update

I’m very sorry for how slowly I have been replying to messages! There’s so many more people than I ever expected to get, and it’s a little overwhelming. I will still do my absolute best to reply to all the messages I receive, but until I work through what I have in the inbox right now, I am going to close the ask box. It shouldn’t be closed for more than a month, though! Thank you all for being patient with me, and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Ghost kin, fallen angel kin, and/or Dave strider fiction kin? I've been feeling so down lately I'm skrry

All of those kintypes are so awesome! You’re so strong and brave! It’s okay to feel down, anon; we all have bad days, after all. You are an amazingly unique person, with super cool kintypes!

[kin-positivity]

Hey there. I've been feeling a little down lately, could I please get some Dirk Strider positivity? Thanks a load in advance.

Wow, cool! You’re so strong, anon! It takes a lot to live on your own like that for so long, and you were vital to your team. You mess up sometimes, but doesn’t everybody? It’s clear that you love your friends, and your drive to do the right thing is amazing! You’re so full of determination!

hey so uh. i feel i need some positivity because i killed quite a lot of people (both in my canon and in the source) but i dont actually feel bad about it at all. i mean, sure they died and all, but i strongly believe in survival of the fittest and, well, they weren't quick enough or strong enough. just feel terrible because i dont feel any sort of remorse for it, i didnt then and i dont now. it was just something that... happened. if that all makes sense. (felix from red vs blue fictive)

While I can’t understand your exact situation, I want to say that it’s okay for you to feel that way. You come from a different situation, with different circumstances and different beliefs. It’s okay to not regret actions, especially if you strongly believe it was the right thing to do. It’s a bit of a grey area, but personally, I think that you are completely okay to feel that way! You shouldn’t feel guilty for that.

Can I get some positivity for being kin with Jim Moriarty from BBCs Sherlock? The show is so hated (I can see why, sometimes!) But still, I've had such a bummer week, some nice words would do splendid. Thank you, you run a wonderous blog!

Thank you for your kind words, anon!

Being kin with someone from a disliked thing can be pretty rough, I know. But, if anyone can work through that, it’s you! You’re an amazing strategist, and your razor sharp wit helps you through a lot of sticky situations. Even if you’ve done some bad things, you’ve got a lot to be proud of, anon!

[kin-positivity]

Welcome back! Could a Rin Matsuoka from Free! get some positivity please? B)

Thank you, anon!

You’re very determined to reach your goals, sometimes to the point where you overwork yourself. It’s awesome that you work so hard! You’re also pretty protective of those close to you. With your attitude, you can do anything!
