I may be a little biased but this is important to me.

You’re not cringey, no matter what you’re a fictive/factive/etc of. I’m a literal ripoff Sonic.EXE so this might not mean much, but you don’t deserve to be treated badly or considered “cringe” because of your source, no matter how much you identify with it. This also applies to “problematic” fictives/factives/etc too–you’re not your source and don’t deserve to be treated as such. Your source counterpart’s actions don’t matter–it’s what you do here that does.

Cringe culture is dead and you should be able to be who you are and be happy with yourself. You don’t deserve to be ashamed. You don’t deserve to be shunned. You deserve to feel safe and happy and loved, regardless of what your source is.

help figuring out what we are.

i definitely don’t think we’re a d.i.d system. as i don’t have trauma from when i was any younger than 16. but just calling them “kintypes” or whatever, doesn’t seem meaningful enough. because i still see these characters as part of me/my brain. so i’ve taken to called them i.d’s. [i’m not sure if this is a d.i.d term also so i’m sorry if it is.]

i basically see it as, my brain doesn’t like who i am sometimes so i made up characters to apply the personalities of to myself. so i can switch out when i want to. my friend reckons this is neurodivergent related. i’m literally not diagnosed with anything because i’m poor so who fucking knows. does anyone else experience/do this?? i rely heavily on labels and care a lot about knowing who or what i am so any help would be appreciated ;;

More and more members of the alterhuman community are growing a view of radical acceptance that I actually find rather refreshing. I, myself, subscribe to the ontopunk ideology, which means that I believe there is no room for me to doubt or judge someone else’s identity and self expression. I am not in a position to grant a stamp of approval on the labels they choose to use for themselves, only help when asked. To admit that we conducted ourselves unfavorably when met with those who deviated from what we knew to be acceptable takes a lot of maturity, to expand our understanding of what it means to be otherkin when we were adamant about the experiences it covered shows a lot of growth.

Because of the room this progressive mindset has made for discussions regarding more subjective experiences, I’m slowly learning to feel confident that I am exactly where I belong. It wasn’t too long ago that the community was more focused on protecting the sanctity of our vocabulary than creating spaces for others to openly share their identities. Things as simple as the possibility of wording a post the wrong way was enough to keep community members from talking about something they felt was significant to them. It caused a lot of anxiety and, in my opinion, contributed a lot to the beings here refusing to admit their mistakes for fear of being pushed out of the community. I’m honestly really happy to see that we’ve opened the gates to allow for deeper conversations.

In the past, I’ve felt ashamed for having mistook my kintypes, needlessly apologizing for not being certain of my identity because there was this narrative that being a real otherkin meant to have a clear internal knowledge. I’ve felt insecure about many things I thought didn’t measure up to the others around me. But I’ve learned that alterhumanity is not a competition. It’s not about proving any sort of validation or wisdom to anyone else. It’s not even necessarily about comparing your experiences to others around you. It’s about the personal journey you make with your nonhumanity. I just wish we had all realized sooner that no one has a right to oppose another beings personal journey.

Why Using the Term Fictionkin Should be a Power Move, Not your Every Day Label.

i was prompted to write this by my remembering that the Elf Queen’s Daughters never called themselves fictionkin. the word didnt exist back then, and they were still who they were even without said term. why do we call ourselves fictionkin? some simply because it’s how one would define their source, for others, its a signifier that they dont belong on this earth. there are those who dislike the term, as it makes them feel as though others believe them fake. but i’m here to argue that it should be a badge of pride, whipped out when others make you feel small. there have been movements and individuals within our community that have dropped the “ ‘kin” label in favor of simply saying “I am [x]”. there are personal decisions to it, but it makes sense–why give someone room to redefine your existance by redefining what you call yourself? no one can say “you’re not [x kintype]”, yet we’ve seen gatekeepers redefine and squeeze people out of therian. the EQD didnt have these other terms to fight over, but i believe that is what the community is also admiring about them–their ability to simply state “i am”, and be taken seriously. no one would ever call them ~cringe~™. there’s an anti-anxiety trick, “act like you belong there, and people will take you seriously/believe that you do (whether you do  or not)”. our labels are great for intercommunity communication, but to outsiders looking in (KFF, in this case) they see a trendy gimmick. anyone can say “i am [x]”, but when scrutinized the pretenders fold under pressure. those who really stand by “i am [x]” will continue to stand. it’s how the EQD are still known today. all of this isnt to say everyone should drop the term fictionkin entirely. but is instead a think piece to consider how often it’s used. think about how often when one meets a therian, or an otherkin, they open with “i am [x]”. so often when one meets a fictionkin, they state they’re fictionkin. is this hiding for being ~cringe~™? or is it being worn as a badge of honor? when a therian or otherkin says “i am [x]”, onlookers typically know what that is and get to say “oh cool, awesome, love [x]”, but when a fictionkin says “i am [x]”, it is sometimes met with similar, but also often met with “what is [x]?” suddenly you are a fantastical curiosity, you come from worlds only imaginable to those from here. while there is sadness at this world being different, there is also wonder at coming from a place few truly know about. That is the fictionkin power move. That is why you should be [x], in your daily life, not your label. Indoraptor is my identity, fictherian is my badge of honor.

Just wear your damn glasses and save yourself the headache, Seph.

[Image Description: A textless greyscale comic in three panels. In the first, Sephiroth sits at his desk in the Shinra building. He leans his forehead into his right hand, holding a paper in his left as he eyes a large stack of manila folders with a frown. In the background behind him, Zack is peering in through the open doorway.

In the second panel, Zack has returned and stands behind Sephiroth’s chair, smiling as he places a pair of reading glasses over Sephiroth’s face. Sephiroth looks up and back at him with mild surprise.

In the third panel, Zack is moving back towards the door as he gives Sephiroth a grin and a double thumbs-up. Sephiroth is facing forward again, still wearing the glasses, but he is glancing in Zack’s direction with a slight smile. /end ID]
