Figwit (Melpomaen) and Lindir headcanons cause I miss them (and cause I'm Lindir kinnie)

My most favourite concept would be the fact that they're not the same person, but twin brothers! (Elf twins are rare, I'm aware, but hey, a circus can't operate on one clown only)

Lindir is older by like, 12 1/2 minutes

Lindir hogs all 5 collective braincells they have

Figwit is clumsy and dumb-looking and breaks about 1 or 2 things a day, air-headed most of the times. Lindir, however, is the controlled and calm one but on most occassions, he's very stressed out

Figwit knows the entire mechanism of Lindir's mind and could calm his stressed out mind everytime. Usually it ranges from softly reading his newest piece or humming songs from their childhood

Both are extremely protective of each other. Lindir would strangle orcs with his bare hands to keep Figwit safe. And Figwit would lock Lindir up in their shared rooms to keep him safe. They have very different views on protection

Lindir, like his name implied, is great with music, any musical instruments and has one of the most beautiful singing voice in all of Rivendell. Figwit, however, sings like a choking crow, but he makes up for it in poetry and painting

Their favourite past time is at night, when everyone's asleep, Lindir would sing Figwit's writings and Figwit would paint whatever came to his mind while Lindir sings

Lindir and Figwit struck a deal and an odd friendship with Elladan and Elrohir. They'd work together on making everyone's lives a living hell and sometimes rant about their other halves

Both brothers would sometimes switch places to fuck with everyone's mind. It took Elrond about 50 years to be able to tell them apart (during the span of those 50 years, he'd put labels on them which they'd usually switch anyway)

Whenever they argue, it usually ended up with a) Lindir going too far with his words, making Figwit cry, b) Figwit being so stubborn, Lindir went through a full blown panic attack, and c) Silent Treatment. They rarely argue but when they do, it lasts only a few hours but it's pretty brutal

Figwit's emotional weak point has always been being the "dead weight" twin and how Lindir got the short end of the stick to take care of him, because he knew it was true, that in the end of the day, he's just another pile to Lindir's problems

The Hobbit AU where Figwit was also present when the dwarves were in Rivendell. The dwarves almost shat their pants when they saw the two standing together while Bilbo was just "Oh! Twins! Which one of you is the dumber one?" (Spoilers, it's Figwit)

Fili and Kili are the only dwarves that had enough braincells to not freak out and attack. Both elf and dwarf brothers got along pretty well, bonding over siblings and how it felt like to be the one with the braincells

Kili thought Lindir was a girl and Figwit went to full blown hysterically laugh at him. Lindir tried to defend himself by saying "We're twins! We have the same face!" and Kili admitted that Figwit actually looked masculine in comparison to his twin. Figwit never stopped laughing at him for it

Figwit (or Melpomaen) sort of resents his name. "Like, seriously! Lin, your name means 'Song Man' which is pretty fucking cool and what's mine? 'Smart fig?' Am I so dumb our parents compared me to an actual fig?!"

Lindir would usually try to comfort him by saying figs are sweet fruits which probably means their parents see him as a smart and sweet individual, like the person he is. But in reality, Lindir doesn't know why either

Also, Melpomaen gets the nickname 'Figwit' from non-elvish visitors that knew what his name meant. It was supposed to be an insult but he's too aware to be affected

Lindir is gay and Figwit is an awesome supportive brother

Contrary to popular beliefs, Figwit doesn't like figs. Lindir would usually clown on him because of that

Mages, Magicians, and Kin Identity

Below the cut, a long (almost 2000 word) essay exploring the differences between the historical therian/otherkin communities and the “tumblrkin”/”kinnie” community and subculture, through an extended metaphor about magic. At full disclosure, I am personally very much an “old school” therian. Nevertheless, the essay, to the best of my efforts, is not an attack and does not take sides, instead hoping for honest discussion. I know there are other communities I might not know about or be active in, I welcome people to share this there (with proper credit).

Say you have a Mage (think Harry Potter, Dungeons and Dragons, and similar). In their experience, magic is an inextricable from their life: it affects how they perceive the world around them, how they interpret and understand things, and it can manifest effects (spells) through them, either voluntarily or reflexively. The visible, tangible acts of “magic” are a direct expression and consequence of the natural state “being a mage”. They don’t “do magic”, they “are a mage”, and magic happens as a result. A mage remains inherently a mage, even when they are asleep or having breakfast or otherwise not doing anything obviously magical.

Then, say you have a magician (Harry Houdini, David Copperfield, etc.). For them, “magic” is a thing you do. Some people may have more talent than others, and people may have different reasons for doing it (some make it a career, some put on performances, some just do it on their own out of personal interest or fun), but at the end of the day it’s an activity, a practice.

Then, say, these two completely different people meet, and start discussing “magic”. Here, a sudden conflict arises.

It would be very tempting for the mage, seeing the magician using scarves and cards and coins, to say “What I’m doing is real magic, what you’re doing is fake”. The mage might remember really struggling to understand and control their magic- early accidents and mishaps, unintended reflexive spells- and think “This is something I live with, good or bad. Something that, in certain situations, I have to work to manage, and it’s all just a game to you.” If the mage runs into someone who is only familiar with magicians, who, upon seeing them cast fireball, says “oh, neat trick with the flash paper!” the mage might get frustrated, angry, defensive. Insisting that no, they’re doing something very different. The mage might try to draw the line between identity an action, or even try to insist on differentiating terms (“I’m doing magic because that’s what magic means, you’re doing legerdemain”).

But the magician might argue back that the magic he does is what magic means to him, what it has meant for as long as he’s known it, and what it means to his community. There’s no deception, trickery, or malicious intent involved. When he meets with other magicians, they’re all discussing magic as a practice, their tools and skills, not pretending or claiming to be supernatural. And even the audience to magic performances ultimately understands and expects that it’s all illusion and a demonstration of clever talent. It’s just as ‘real’ in that sense. Furthermore, the magician might argue that, just because magic is an activity, that doesn’t mean it’s shallow or meaningless. There are magicians that take their craft very seriously, and for whom it’s a really significant part of their life. Furthermore, it’s not so easy to distinguish action from identity: nobody is born a “writer” or an “artist”, but these can be as much core identities for a person as their inborn traits. Some magicians might accept ‘legerdemain’ as a term, but it would be very difficult to convince all magicians to suddenly stop using the term “magic”, especially if that is coming as an external pressure and not a natural linguistic shift within their own community.

If the magician assumes that the mage is using stage magic whenever they make grass grow or call down a lightning bolt, then the mage will seem to be too authoritarian- why are they so angry? Why are they so insistent on using different terminology? Why do they pop up with “No, that’s not how it works” every time someone mentions doing magic for fun? How rude! The magician would see that mages see magic as an identity- which, yes, some magicians do- but might think “why can’t they accept that that’s not how everyone does magic?”.

What the magician fails to see, in this case, is that this is not a shared identity with different perspectives, but a fundamentally different experience. The magician sees their difference in the use of the term “Magic” as a difference in connotation and interpretation. Really, what’s happening is more like a homograph: two words with different meanings and origins that look or sound the same (e.g. “dove” the bird vs. “dove”, past tense of “dive”). And in discussion, mixing up “lead” as in the metal and “lead” as in “leader”, or using them interchangeably, isn’t an alternate definition or linguistic drift, it’s misinformation and misunderstanding.

The above extended metaphor is the closest I have come to explaining the difference between the “old school” therian/otherkin community, and the subculture commonly referred to as “tumblrkin” (which I use as a point of reference here, not derogatorily). For the sake of clarity, I will be referring to these as “mage kin” and “magician kin” from this point forward. My observations and direct experience in this come from Therian Guide, Werelist, Youtube, Therian Wilderness, a few therian Telegram groups, and, yes, Tumblr. As you can see there will still be gaps in my knowledge (especially as I am far less familiar with non-therian, otherkin communities).

Mage kin see therianthropy/otherkinity as an inherent identity. Language reflects that- one has a kintype or is __kin/a ___ therian, and might be discouraged from saying “my wolf” or “my dragon”. A lot of emphasis is placed on distinguishing kintypes from ‘external’ forces, whether personality traits, likes/dislikes or distinct spiritual entities. A kintype in this community is (almost) always discovered, not created and definitely not chosen. It is found the same way a new continent is found- it was always there, and simply needed to be mapped. Mage kin communities are, broadly speaking, older and more interconnected. The various forums tend to share some members, and this is usually where you will find the community elders that have been around since the Elf Queen’s Daughters and alt.horror.werewolves. While terminology has shifted slightly with time (from elvenkind and weres to otherkin and therians), and broadened to include things like fictionkin, this has been natural drift, and mage kin have a shared definition/understanding of kin identity, whether on Tumblr or TG: an inherent, internal, nonhuman identity. A mage kin is always kin, whatever their shifts or self-expression.

In magician kin communities, “kinning” is a verb. It is a thing someone does. “X kins Y” or “I’m kinning ___” are common statements. This is how it was expressed by someone who identified as kin, and was earnest as far as I could tell (not trolling)- that people can “kin” for various reasons, including mental health or for fun. Because of this action aspect in the general understanding, the magician kin community is much more open to the idea of choosing a kintype- both in picking what to “kin”, and in being able to say things like “don’t kin outside of your race/culture”. It also broadens the umbrella of what a kintype can be, with people further subdividing into things like “ID’s”. The magician community is more insular- as far as I can tell it is fairly localized to tumblr (and personal discords/aminos) but has little to no overlap with other therian/otherkin websites and forums. This leads to a lack of exposure to terminology and history (I’ve had someone ask me, in earnest, that wasn’t fictionkin different from otherkin?). And much like on islands in biology/ecology, being insulated in that way leads to very sharp, extreme differentiation. Magicians rarely meet mages (and when they do, often assume them to just be belligerent magicians) and have branched off to the point of being nigh-unrecognizable from the mage perspective.

Hence, conflict. Notice how often discourse boils down to whether kin is a noun or a verb. Mages see magicians as disconnected from the community history and terminology, and thus misinformed- and put time, effort and energy into ‘educating’ and ‘correcting’ (whether politely or angrily). They blame magicians for muddying the water of what ‘magic’ means, causing confusion, and for making a mockery (in their perspective) of magic- making a game of what was often serious and sometimes even painful for them. Magicians have their fellow magicians and are perfectly happy with their magic, and don’t see why some other ‘magicians’ feel they have any authority to barge in and tell them they aren’t doing real magic and should start using words like “legerdemain”. From a complete outsider’s perspective, it’s all chaos. Because the two groups aren’t using neatly distinct terms like mage and magician, they are all just using “magic” and arguing with each other (and of course, the worst extremes will always be the most visible). And, as tempting as it is to think so, magicians aren’t responsible for trolls and aggressors attacking the ‘magic’ community as a whole; and strictly enforcing only mage terms wouldn’t stop willful misunderstanding and attacks. People that want to be jerks and bullies would be jerks and bullies, even to the most respectable.

So…what do we do? I’m solidly in the mage kin camp. I found the tumblr kin community first, and felt alienated and out of place in it. Finding fellow mages is where I have found community and shared understanding that matches my experiences. And, like many of my peers, I’ve spent time and energy being angry at tumblrkin, and aggressively defensive of terminology. But here’s the thing- that’s wasted effort. However the linguistic divergence came about, it happened. There’s no point closing the barn door after the cows get out. Contranyms (words that are their own opposite) are a known linguistic fact. In some cases, it’s a matter of a specific word broadening until it contains its own opposite. In other cases (which I think are closest to what’s happening with “otherkin”), a word with a broad meaning splits into more specific sub-definitions, which relate to the original meaning but develop separately in parallel until they ultimately contradict one another. And, well, as to how that will end in the long term: how well is the fight to get people to stop using “literally” figuratively going? Does “sanction” mean to permit or penalize?

I don’t know what the answer is. As someone who likes labels, terminology, and clarity, I’m tempted to hope that labels (maybe even ‘magician’ and ‘mage’) can help clean up the overlap between these two very different camps. But I’m doubtful adding more words into the mix will really help this terminological clusterfuck. From the perspective of mental and emotional health, I’m tempted to let the island be an island, and just stick with the community that I’ve found, that fits my needs and experiences, and clarify on an individual level if someone asks me about my identity and what it means to me. It matters for people just starting to question their identity- there is a lot of contradictory information they would be blasted with. And I know there is a fear among mage kin that fellow ‘true mages’ would get lost in the weeds. But I found my way, and I’m going to continue presenting as the kind of therian I am, so I can act as that example to others. I don’t know what else can be done.

So I guess my final thoughts would be: To any magicians reading this- please try to understand and respect that there really is a fundamental difference in experience here, not just a parallel perspective. To my fellow mages- is it really worthwhile to mount a crusade, or more important to lead by example and be a beacon?

---

Requested edit: Reminder that all of the above is an extended metaphor. I am talking about otherkin/therians using the idea of “magic” to illustrate my perspective. Which, again, is my own and based on my own experiences, with the intent of being fair, but is neither universal nor perfect.

About Me

Hello hello! You can call me Scatter when not referring to any of my kins- I’m 22, trans(he/him pronouns), and gay and ace. I’m kinda new to the kin community but consider this a safe space for fictionkin(or all types of otherkin!), fictives, coping link, or whomever may identify with/as fictional characters!

Thinspo, transmeds/truscums, and exclusionists/aphobes please do not interact!

I would love to interact with people from my sources and talk about canons, make friends, and all the like! However, I’m not looking for canonmates(I’ve had a few bad run-ins with people telling me my canons were “wrong” if they didn’t match with theirs, and would rather not go through that again), but I greatly enjoy discussing different canons! Doubles are free to interact!

Disclaimer: I use fictionkin to cope with mental illness, so please try to understand why I do this and don’t interact if you have anti-kin sentiment. I ain’t hurting anyone, and I wouldn’t be here today if I didn’t have fiction to fall back on, so please respect this harmless fun <3

[starryrock]

Remember, I only just started watching Chapter 5. Everything after are just my assumptions based on content I’ve seen around the fandom and translations.

[Prologue] - After

Warning: Bit more heavy on potential spoilers!!

Ace: I still love you, but now I know how much of an ass you are. You remind me of kids I would most likely hate irl but for some reason you’re still a serotonin boost for me.

Deuce: I love you so much. He cares about his mom so much like, sweetie. I want to give you hugs and cookies. You deserve it. Please learn how to count.

Grim: I WAS RIGHT. GREMLIN CHILD. I’m glad he’s liked more than other mascot-esque characters in games. His character development,,,,, but lord STOP EATING ROCKS.

[Chapter 1]

Riddle: Baby boy, baby. Sparks joy. And SWEETIE!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! I’m gonna learn how to make a tart just for you. I’m gonna adopt him.

Trey: Still not much of an opinion. I like he was still kinda jokey (tbh I would fall for the oyster sauce too), but I feel like he still kinda pales in comparison to everyone else in the dorm. Reminds me of that dentist elf in Rudolph.

Cater: [heart emoji spam] SIR??? SIR!!!! ILYSM!! I am a SUCKER for cheery, cutesy but also STRONK af with a dash of hidden true feelings. Just, Ugh. Vil Simp #2.

[Chapter 2]

Jack Howl: “It’s not like I care about you or anything” That’s the most cliché “Tsundere” line I’ve ever heard I’m Here For It. You like us, admit it. Also Deuce + Jack Stronk solidarity, why are we sleeping on this????

Ruggie: The amount of RESPECT I have for you. I literally made a meme of “‘Friendship’ ended with Leona. Ruggie is my best friend now.” You are literally carrying the dorm and dorm leader. Bless you, have some lunch money.

Leona: My disappointment is immeasurable. I can tell what they were going for, but.... sigh.. Despite this, he made me consider kinning just for the hell of it. graduate already.

[Chapter 3]

Azul Ashengrotto: You have a lot of braincells but they all say Capitalism. “You should’ve come to Shiratorizawa.” Simp + Uses You For Personal Gain at the same time.

Floyd: Even more feral than I imagined. His laugh sound like what I look like when I’m excited and typing. Verbal keyboard smash.

Jade: I’m convinced he probably killed someone before. “Mushroom dance, mushroom dance, whatever could it mean?” It means you lived a life of sin. Lelouch Kinnie.

[Chapter 4]

Kalim: Oh My Lord. Baby???!! Tiny. You are literally too good for this school What Are You Doing Here? I don’t think it’s physically possible for him to be legitimately, full on pissed. Just really disappointed and a bit mad.

Jamil Viper: Somehow, throughout everything you did, I could not bring myself to hate you. I just felt really disappointed the entire time. I’m so glad you’re finally going off though.

[Chapter 5]

Epel: “Y’know what? I AM tired of being nice! I DO wanna go apes**t!” GO OFF!! I’m so glad you can swear.

Rook: #1 Vil Simp and simp in general. Still a little ehhhh, but I’m warming up to him. A little weird, but he’s got a charm. :) +20 points for French~

Vil: OOOHH?? We love men saying “F**k you” to gender roles and beauty standards. I’m glad we moved on from the common trope of Beauty Guru Person With ngl Shallow Views On Beauty. That being said, LET EPEL SWEAR. PLEASE. Somehow progressive (imo) and strict mom at the same time.

[Chapter 6]

Ortho: You literally have not showed up yet and I’m sad. I want to see my little boy.

Idia: NEEEEERRRRRDDDD!!! Literally inside unironically calling people “normies” like he’s from Monster High. 100% the meme lord of the school. He knows every meme.

[Chapter 7]

Malleus: Okay nvm he’s a lovable little loser. This man is such a dork. Giving out random facts as an act of comfort/love language. Your smile is cute.

Lilia: I cannot tell if he’s more cursed than Idia. This man adopts children for fun. I feel like you’d rob my house and leave me a rotisserie chicken if I met you.

Sebek: If he doesn’t join the 1 Braincell Freshman Squad I do Not want Chapter 7. Let him join us, please.

Silver: HE LITERALLY CARRIES A FULL ON SWORD??! TO SCHOOL? Sir, you’re honestly a big mood but I feel like your should do something about that undiagnosed narcolepsy. Quite literally a Disney Princess.

My thoughts on all TWST characters before and after going through the chapters (currently started Chapter 5, I have not played the game. I just watch English translations on YouTube by Shella_BB.). Tbh, this is just me making fun of them all.

I will try to be vague to avoid spoilers, but just to be safe, here’s a disclaimer. !!Potential spoilers for Prologue-Chapter 4!!

[Prologue] - Before

Ace: I loved him before I really knew the story. He just screamed “I’m stupid and you’re stuck with me” and I think that’s sweet.

Deuce: Not much of an opinion on him. Prolly the voice of reason, heard parts of his backstory. Might’ve gotten stuck with us because he got stuck sitting with us at lunch.

Grim: Gremlin. Tiny gremlin that the fandom would probably hate, like most small, mascot things are. Not much of an opinion.

[Chapter 1]

Riddle: *Hall Of The Mountain King intensifying* “Um, actually. According to the encyclopedia of pslshdbsls-”

Trey: Seems calm but is actually feral or somethin. Idk, not much of a personality??

Cater: Tbh, I didn’t really know if he existed (along with Trey). Cutesy sparkly “I’m gonna call all of you ‘-chan’” guy that actually knows way more than he lets on. Previous dorm leader??

Chēn’ya: I wonder what he’s inspired by. You showed up once but I like your energy, funny magic man.

[Chapter 2]

Jack Howl: Doggo. Sir you’re way too tall to be a freshman. Cryptic existence. Where are you????

Ruggie: “Shishishishi” oh So he’s evil. He broke?

Leona: s,, sir your shirt,, Oh wait you there’s representation? Yoooo Pog. I like his fashion sense.

[Chapter 3]

Azul Ashengrotto: Mob boss. He literally looks so much like a mafioso. 100% would sell you out for $20. Probably weird obsession with Riddle or his Unique Magic. “Your UnMa is so strong... I want it... Lol jk. Just kidding,,, unless?”

Floyd: Feral twin. So completely unhinged. Looks like BSD Atsushi’s hair. Would Hotwire a go kart and attach some magic crystal to it so it goes 80 mph, all while singing Under The Sea and laughing.

Jade: I do not trust this man. Has to be equally unhinged. I do NOT trust that smile. One driving the cop car to catch Floyd. Not because it’s illegal, but he didn’t put on his seatbelt.

[Chapter 4]

Kalim: Sunshine child. Ily you so much. Babey. Wow he’s short. Is it the Sultan or Aladdin?

Jamil Viper: Lol Nice name. You seem oddly calm for someone inspired by Jafar. I like your hair-

[Chapter 5]

Epel: Soft boy? Please don’t be another uwu im a soft boy character that doesn’t speak much at all. I wanna see you swear.

Rook: I do not like you. For some reason, I just do not like your vibes. Is it the hair? I think it’s the hair. Hhhhggg,,, you’re just so off putting. Your expression puts me off for some reason, I swear it’s the hair-

Vil: Holy crap he’s pretty. His dorm outfit design??? I’m love. Designers went definitely tried to make one of the most attractive characters, not surprised.

[Chapter 6]

Ortho: Baby. Tiny child man. Ily but your existence also hurts. I want to protect you.

Idia: I was introduced to him with his backstory with Ortho. BRUH THAT HURTS. You good? Definitely depressed.

[Chapter 7]

Malleus: Does he curse someone??? He never gets invited to anything, he’s gonna snap. I bet you. Tiny bit salty because it still reminds me a bit of Descendants, just Maleficent being the strongest.

Lilia: Tiny man. I like how you wear your outfits + your hair. Still someone not much opinion, but my friend who introduced me simps for you soooo....

Sebek: Loud. Loud. Loud. You just seem so angry all the time. Somehow reminds me of the Madame Trunchbull from Matilda. Just the expressions and kinda the energy.

Silver: Who are you????? Where are you??? What do you do? Uh, nice, hair????
