#OTHERKIN

[vinnyth3chaoticalt3rhvman]

I used to pretend to be that one water dinosaur from that one feeding scene in Jurassic Park or something.

I think that was a sign I was a weird kid.

A kind reminder to respect nonhumans (mostly fictionkins/fictives) who are uncomfortable with doubles and don't interact with them.

Everyone's experience is different. I personally have nothing against doubles interacting with my blog, but I understand that some are not.

I stumbled upon a discord server for folks who identify as creepypasta characters. While reading the rules, I saw, that the creator of this server is uncomfortable with other people identifying as Jeff the Killer.

So I immediately left.

It's not offensive if someone does not want to interact because you're a double.

It's not offensive if someone is not comfortable with fictionkins/introjects from a certain source.

This "someone" doesn't hate you, they just have specific boundaries.

It IS offensive and mean if you don't respect those boundaries on purpose.

Be kind. Be respectful.

"im glad i bullied her out of it it was for her own good" BULLYING AND GOOD SHOULD NOT GO IN A SENTENCE TOGETHER WTF..

I saw a TikTok the other day with several million likes that said something along the lines of “my little sister is a therian and wearing cat ears to school and im so scared for her” and like. Weird video obviously but what really did me in was a comment that said “my younger sister was also a therian, im glad I bullied her out of it, it was for her own good :(“ and it had like several thousand likes. are you people okay. that is such a miserable way of living your life. bullying someone out of doing something is already disgusting but for it to be your younger sister, someone who looks up to you? and for what? because you’re afraid they might get bullied? congratulations! you’ve just become their first bully! you have just mocked and scared them out of a passion or something that brings them joy most likely because YOU’RE embarrassed. what an awful way to live and treat others

GUESS WHAT KINDA MORNING I HAD. Power outages SUCK.

My phone died last night while I tried to sleep. I'm still not sure if I even got sleep but I assume I did? I spent more time tossing and turning than sleeping for sure though.

This is, as noted in the sketch, one of four dragons I've drawn in the past 12 hours. So more will come later. But I wanted to post myself first because I'm GRUMPY.

I don't want to engage in discourse, but I've seen so many posts here lately talking about "Tik Tok Therians" and worries about them migrating to Tumblr.

I'm just imagining what it's like for them. Imagine coming to Tumblr for the first time and discovering all this hate and infighting. Your main way of seeing content of others like you has been taken away from you, so you turn to Tumblr, only to find hundreds of posts making assumptions and generalizations about you. Imagine coming from Tik Tok and the first post you see on here is someone calling you annoying.

Are we really as accepting as we claim to be? Now is the time to prove it.

Yes, I would absolutely be bullied off the face of Tik Tok if I ever ended up there, but that doesn't mean I will treat them the same if they ended up here. If you're scared of Tumblr turning as toxic and hostile as Tik Tok, maybe the answer is to simply avoid being toxic and hostile.

Also, a bit of a tangent, but sometimes the best way to go about things is just agreeing to disagree with those around you. I can't even count how many times I've changed my mind about something because I saw someone with a different opinion and had a civil discussion, or did proper research about something I was misinformed on because I befriended someone new. Of course we are all entitled to opinions, and we can't always see eye to eye, but that's life.

Personally, my blog will welcome these "Tik Tok Therians" with open arms. They will see that I'm weird, but most importantly they will also see that I am one of them, I am kind, and willing to educate without hate.

Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.
