I do experience species dysphoria, but not in a "I wish I was a real animal" way. Its more like a sudden hyperaware moment of "I'm not supposed to understand human language and conepts or idea, I shouldn't know these things the way I do. Because of their perception of what I am, they know me as human. I am not human, I am entirely a canine, but you don't see that. I am trapped inbetween my exsistence and their view. How miserable."

Oh, so you wanna be someone's puppy? You wanna be owned?

Are you okay with your new owner giving you a new name? What about having entire control of your diet? Controlling when you leave the house? Controlling what you wear (or don't wear)? Where you sleep? Are you okay with relying on another creature for Everything? Are you okay with your owner really and truly Owning you?

You gotta commit fully. This is who you are now.

its a pretty beautiful thing that kin is like everything i wanted as a kid. like little me was always thinking stuff like "oh what if.. everyone was a magical creature or an animal and like we had a club in a treehouse where we talk about ourselves and we wear animal ears and we do fun activities and laugh and play and be friends....."

Recently, I was thinking about kin lives especially in the context of fictionkin and how the community often discusses events we see in canon – adjacency or divergence, and additionally creates concepts of validity around that. How even the most adjacent timelives will never be exactly the same, because media is a narrative, not a lifetime. 

A movie, show or book will only ever show the important aspects of a narrative, events will be reduced to their necessities, never shown in their entirety. When you consider a lifetime and all the moments in that; every thought, feeling, conversation, action — all these little features of living day-to-day. Life is so full and abundant. Metaphorically, media is like telling someone about a conversation you had. All the important aspects to make a point will be shared, but the smaller aspects, every thought, reaction, words that weren't recalled still happened. They were part of your life, even if unspoken. 

This doesn't even just apply to “these events happened but information is missing” — which may be true — but also that lives are made of constant events, and with kin lives, every moment was lived. The narrative we see might not be the most important aspects of that life, the moments that mean the most, the biggest joys or pains. It will never convey the depth of every relationship, time spent on each hobby, build-up of emotions, small habits and actions, the raw abundance of being alive. 

I think recognising this both personally and as a community is helpful in understanidng our relationship with our kins, but also dynamics within communities and how we discuss both these lives and media. It would also offer a lot more sympathy towards ourselves and others, or reduce validity politics both interpersonally and within ourselves. To remember we lived.

how tiktok otherkins look at you when you tell them you actually believe you are not spritually human and that you are a guardian angel reborn onto earth to protect those who need protection and that you were destined to keep your loved ones safe from evil and when you die it means that you've fufilled your duties as a guardian angel and not just "i know i'm a human i just do this because i enjoy it!"

Here’s a little explainer post I made for my instagram. Thought I’d post it here too! 🐾

It does a disservice to all listed communities to have them be misconstrued and misunderstood to the degree that they often are. Hopefully this post helps some folks understand the differences and nuances a bit better! ^^
