The word demeans our experience and how we feel about our identities.  Kinnie - A term largely used by trolls and anti-kin. It is often used in a derogatory manner by such to insult otherkin or get a quick laugh. Using this term has a negative impact on those who have been bullied by this. Kins - A term found used in the place of kintype. Otherkin do not refer to their kintypes as “kins”. The plural of kin is kin. Kin = family or blood. The term otherkin means being “kin to the other”.  ID - ID is not an otherkin communty term. It can be used to speak of ones identity, but does not replace nor mean a stronger relation than a kintype. Otherkin do not use it when speaking of their kintype. - - - Being otherkin is not a game or a choice. This community has been in existence and grown and developed over the past 50 or so years. Read and research! Join some groups and learn with those around you!  If you believe you are otherkin, you should be interested in using the correct terms and not making the community look bad!  :)

These terms only cover what lies below the otherkin umbrella. There are many more non-human terms out there! So if you find none of these fit your experience, that’s okay! Your feelings are valid, but that doesn’t mean you have to be ‘kin. Our identity belief is not for fun, its unchangeable and something otherkin have to live with, no on or off switch. Any questions, don’t be afraid to ask! I strive to spread information and correct misinformation in the community! -Azaphaer

It's been a couple years since I've posted, and i apologize. Nev and I are still here, and I have a recent experience with them that I want to share with you!

Paschats from Nev's planet are nomadic tribespeople and I experienced something outside the Pink Planet's forest relating to this. There are cold regions of this place, to the north of the forest, and Nev was travelling with a party of four other paschats. I cannot describe them, for they seemed to constantly change, even as I glanced at them. We were walking next to a cold lake with round, beautiful and light pebbles making up its bottom.

Nev stopped, and the hunting party stopped. They put their bow behind their back, reached down, and grabbed a strange, alien creature similar to a crab from between the pebbles. The creature looked Nev in the eye, and Nev and I stared back. We put it back down, then stepped into the water. It was icy against our feet and fur. Sweet, cool scents I cannot describe wafted off the water as a gentle breeze blew across the lake. I could feel the air in our fur and against our body.

It was exhilarating, and the first kin experience I've had in a long while. It was nice to be with Nev again, in that familiar comfort, remembering who I used to be or am in some other timeline. I'm still not sure on Nev's gender, but I believe that they are biologically male like the others in the hunting party they were in. I also still believe they are a doctor of some kind, but I believe they may be a hunter first.

I need to meditate more. It's soothing and connects me to Nev. The world is a much larger place when you realize you are not alone with your soul.
