Hello ockins/fictionkins
i need advice
(tw for mentions of fictional abuse, violence, and related trauma)
I'm trying to figure out if I'm an ockin or not, and I could use some input. This is gonna be a long post so check under the cut for the info.
So, the oc in question is Leona. She was originally created back when I was a teenager (a few years ago). She was made as an avatar/player character for the game Pokémon: Legends Arceus. At the start, she was basically just me, but cooler. Typical sona type thing. Fast forward a few months, and I start changing her story, eventually creating this whole dark au of the game and giving her a bunch of trauma and all that jazz.
I got... VERY attached to her, very quickly. Thinking about her all the time, coming up with new details, rambling about her. More characters joined her story, and she formed bonds with them.
I'm starting to realize that she might be a kintype of mine.
Since I've been writing her, I've gotten moments where it feels like I AM her. I know what she feels, how she views the other ocs in her story, how she reacts to her trauma, and I sort of... share those feelings. I'm terrible at explaining things, but it's more than just "getting to know the character" like I've seen other writers talk about.
As she's gotten attached to her friends and her family, so have I. It's like I see them as MY family, and not just because they're my ocs.
For example: there's a character named Ricochet that was originally going to be her best friend. Purely platonic. I was in one of my "Leona moods" where I was thinking like her, feeling like her, etc. That's when I started wondering if there were any romantic feelings towards Ricochet, and BAM. I could SEE her face, picture her voice and her laugh, and it felt like I was genuinely in love. However, I only feel like this when I "am" Leona.
It probably sounds stupid/weird, but I don't know how else to explain it.
Another thing that I think about a lot is this one time my mom was jokingly asking me questions and talking to me like I WAS Leona, and calling me Leona, and I got this HUGE dose of euphoria. I don't really get species euphoria, and normally I'd dislike being referred to by a feminine name, but it felt RIGHT
Now, onto the problems with her being a kintype.
Leona is a violent person who does bad violent things.
She has violent urges.
When I "am" her, I sort of get them too. It's a lot like what I imagine some predator therians deal with, like wanting to bite people or hunt things? (I'm a canine therian, but I've never gotten urges like these for any kintypes before Leona)
Also, Leona has a lot of trauma and mental problems (namely familial abuse and ptsd) that I don't have, and I feel like by "being" her I'm disrespecting people who actually struggle with those things
Another thing I feel like is weird is that she is a cis woman, and a lesbian, and I am neither of those things?? I'm a genderqueer guy, I prefer masc terms, and I'm omni, so??
Finally, outside of when I'm getting "shifts" for her (if that's even what these are), I don't act like her at all. We still have some similarities left over from her being a past sona of mine, but otherwise there's nothing.
So, ockins!! Fictionkins!! What're your opinion? Is it plausible that I'm an ockin? Do I just have something deeply wrong with me??

Animals I thought were my theriotype that were not my theriotype
(Some of these are technically otherkin but whatever you get the idea)
Horse
Owl
Norwegian forest cat
Dragon
Pheonix
Selkie
Gryphon
Australian Cattle Dog
Border Collie
Puffin
Pegasus
Mouse
Rat
Raccoon
Ferret
Wild Pig
Bay Cat
Jaguarundi
Welsh polecat
Weasel
Stoat
Harp Seal
Opossum
Dhole
Wolf
Dog (several different breeds)
Golden Jackal
Anyways I wanted to post this because it's a good long list of all my years of questioning - and none of these were my theriotype. A handful were even in the same classification, but they still weren't.
Don't feel discouraged if you've been cycling through animals over and over and can't seem to find your theriotype. Sometimes it takes a while, and a LOT of animals before you find it

cryptif 👍👍👍👍 <- likes crytids and is one
👍
#currently trying to look k to kansan cryptids#because those empty fields with only the small moon the red lights from the telephone towers and wind turbines#With no stars because of the light pollution from cities so near yet so SO far#Just far enough to not be able to get there in time#to fear for the miles In between and hope they don't find you or se yoa#And just try to not see the void in your peripheral#Feels like home lol#So yeah#might me a new kintype 🤷♂️

i love finding blogs run by young alterhumans and seeing how excited they are to be alterhuman, making moodboards, talking about their identities every chance they get, and just being so loudly alterhuman. we’ve known we’re alterhuman for many years now so we don’t have that same sort of energy any more but seeing blogs like that makes me think hey, maybe i will make a moodboard, or practice vocalizing, or post about our kintypes
#rambling#i’m not Cecil but you don’t get to know who i am hahahahaha#don’t think i have any kintypes myself. but. maybe. being in front can help you find facets of your identity.#alterhuman tag

we like hanging around angels, they're chill. i feel like we'd just get territorial around other gods but angels are just far enough removed that it doesn't kick in our instincts while still being divine
#gospel truths#godkin#divinekin#alterhuman#we havent actually met any other godkin so idk. not exactly a common kintype#but who knows! maybe we'll find ourselves a spot in a nice little pantheon#but yeah. love all you angels out there <3

trick or treat? :3
Ranboo
Absolutely! Here's what you got from our hoard:
#since we know ur kintypes I could actually try and find stuff that fit! :D#for some reason you just got a bunch of little friends#🤍🖤#I think we like the “bold name at the top” way of indicating who's typing the post best#that works#inbox trick or treating

Why do I always take so long to find my true identity?
*Remembers I’m a bigender shapeshifter and part of a system of 7 with multiple queer alters*
#antlerkitty sharing#I just find it funny#i used to compare myself a lot to others#but their identities are like “single gender (often binary) kintype is known species and singlet/very similar alter”#of course I won’t have the same discovery of myself#all my identities are quite complex#and it’s not like I chose this so I shouldn’t be so mean to myself sometimes about it#I’m not saying I didn’t have strong experiences that really hinted at my identities throughout my life though#I definitely did but they were all quite confusing and not something I could really figure out until I was older#and had more concepts to understand things

Update on my jacket patches! I've added a bunch that I really like and feel the need to share to the creature side of Tumblr.
Pardon the dog hair, it gets in everything and cannot be contained. I shared a few of these before on their own/before they were added to the jacket. I posted the local werewolf (+ meat, coyote x-ing) way back when I first made them, and finally added them! My theta-delta is still going strong, and is joined by my pronoun pin, which was gifted to me during pride last year. I also made an egg (inside joke) and was gifted a frog made by my best friend! I made a trans symbol and lavender sprig to symbolize my queerness and connection to the community.
Next is my trans flag that I made, and another patch made by my best friend of a worm OFF the string! What crimes will he commit?
These next ones aren't sewn on yet, but these will be the latest additions! All gifts from my best friend! On the left is a desert patch for my coyote theriotype! I'm an anxious dog and have honorary handlers (both my boyfriend and my best friend), hence the service dog patches.
After those ones I want to make more canine themed ones ofc, but also want to try making patches for my fictotype/kintypes too! I'll probably add others that are silly or cool, and maybe get other pronoun pins. I'd like to add all my names somewhere but there's a lot and they have switched up a bit so idk yet. If you happen to see this thing irl in public (unlikely), you are welcome to come say hi 🐶🐾
Thanks for reading and looking at my jacket!! If you've made it this far this is your sign to make fun stuff and diy yourself some creature gear 🌲🐾
#timber posts#therian#therianthrooy#alterhuman#alterhuman stuff#this is therian gear for me so I'll mainly therian tag this#but mark my words i will find a way to add my ficto and kintypes to this one day#also shout out to my best friend for making and gifting me patches! hes contributed to this imensly and also enabled my dog behaviour#idk if he'll even see this but the patches kick ass and he deserve a shout out for it#also by no means am i a highly skilled patch maker but the emo kid within me will forever love diy self expression#tumblr posted this early i was gonna save it cause i have been particularily active today already but OH WELL

I see lots of posts for and by therians about doing at least a little 'research' (loosely) on your kintype and I mean yeah but you do you either way I guess if you don't want to let's just stay out of it but I love love love googling mine I have spents hours on the wiki pages for my habitat, my diet, similar species, taxonomy disputes, etc etc and I feel like I need to reiterate again you don't have to do that and that's cool and all but oh my god I love it so much :333
#i thought I'd never know my kintype but research!!! sad there arent any photos of the extinct subspecies though#and its really hard to find photos of canis lupus ligoni with the brown/grey colour in with the black which is sad#AND theyre isnt a lot on coydogs either cos it doesnt happen often#anyway i liked this post it was fun to write#otherkin#therian#endel#alterhuman#canine#aka please ask me about canis lupus crassodon ask me ask me now

god i need a new hyperfixation
#without my blorbos who will get me through this cold dark winter#no but really tho i need one im slowly losing my mind bc of sheer boredom#but the thing is i dunno how to make one happen like it's just a random thing i dunno how to Find One#and i can't click into anything that my friends are suggesting :( like my brain just won't absorb them#i even got a whole kintype from one even though i never ended up playing past the tutorial#but it still didn't stick and im just bored and coasting off the end trails of my last hyperfixation

sometimes I think about what characters I relate to the most and I realize how mentally Ill all of em are
#Your can really see that in my linktypes (and my kintypes too tbh…)#Thinking about how one of the characters I find myself relating to the most is Anne specifically from an extremely heavy amphibia fanfic#And ofc Mae Borowski#Fern rambles

not a vent just identity ramblin in the tags cuz i dont like to talk to people abt this shit /lh
#our system has been so fucky for a while and im so confused as to what we call ourselves anymore tbh.#for a while it was me in front always and the others just kinda there.#then in 2019 there was kj which was a whole fucking thing. but basically zie stole front from me for the first time ever for A Long Time#and that was the only time in this sys that i'd not been mostly frontstuck#and now i am frontstuck again. but like. there are two bitches ( stan and juice) who can also still front without me there#idk its so confusing why do we meet so many criteria for Everything idk what to even call ourselves anymore#but its so important to me to find a label for us so i dont keep fakeclaiming myself to cope with not knowing how we even function.#idk. we're just off the p-did criteria#but we do have a long track record of splitting my kintypes.#abd we're just off meeting osdd-1a. but also have distinct Alter Presence. i know our syslist i can tell whos here#eugh. painnnn#and worst thing is not really havin anyone i feel comofrtable discussin this with that Knows anyfin abt all of this
