hello! what is the difference between otherkin and otherlink? i’ve seen both terms around and im a bit confused. thank you!

Hi! 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼

The word otherkin has three definitions:

The old term for alter/nonhumans

The term that groups together identities where one involuntarily identifies as someone or something.

A being who involuntarily identifies as an imaginary creature usually on the non-physical plane (although rarer, physical otherkins do exist)

The most used and correct definition is otherkin in the sense of unintentionally identifying as an imaginary creature, as the first definition is almost no longer used and the second can be replaced by "kin identity" to avoid confusion.

A otherlink is a being who voluntarily identifies as someone or something for some reason non physicaly.

Not counting the old definition of otherkin, the main difference between otherkinty and otherlinkty is that otherkin identity is involuntary and otherlink identity is voluntary :3

Despite this difference, both identities are equally valid and true, of course!

Extra info :

There are several subcategories of otherlinks, here are some of them:

A copinglink choose to identify as something or someone to cope with a difficult time in one's life.

A funlink chooses to identify as something or someone for fun.

A paroulink chooses to identify as something or someone because of a disconnection from humanity.

The term otherkin can be written/said otherkind!

I hope I helped you ;3, have an amazing day/night, take care of yourself, bye!

This is a neopronoun/xenopronoun positivity post! If you see this, tell me what your neos are!! >:3

I mostly just go by he/they but I also go by xe/xem/xyr and other canine-themed neos!

#neopronoun fixation go brrr #you can tell me I promise you won't be bothering me <3 I literally just like learning about other neos #and pleeease tell me as much as you want including how you chose them or how they're used if you want #I wanna know *everything* >:D #neopronouns #xenopronouns #xenogender #trans #<- although you don't have to be trans to use neos!#honestly just adding tags for reach lol #nonbinary #ooooooh and if you're an alterhuman/nonhuman who uses neos you're especially welcome to tell me #and I'm so curious about other kin folks who also use neos (for their kin identity or not) <3 #alterhuman #nonhuman #otherkin #therian

been in a ref mood. I guess I can have a humanoid sona too, sometimes. They're not just human though, that'd be boring.

#digital art #my fursona #(sorta?)#ref sheet #I have been thinking about identity and kin stuff and coming to maybe thinking of myself as shapeshifter-hearted #the 'human enough' form may change that's a remnant from a much older design and context but for now it's just kinda stuck #also am i in the minority for enjoying drawing refsheets? most people i see talk about it like it's a pain but i like doing them #i don't have to think very hard about the poses lol

Every now and then I see a post that reminds me that most non-kin have an idea of the otherkin community that's defined more by people who made fun of us than by our community itself

If you heard about otherkin through general tumblr osmosis but never made an effort to actually understand us, your mental image of otherkin is mostly likely informed by people who pretended to be otherkin to start drama with the express intent to get people to hate us. It was really common a while back for anti-kin to create blogs posing as otherkin and post absurd, ridiculous, and inflammatory things like "I'm plantkin and keeping houseplants is slavery" or "I'm dragonkin and I ate my mom's jewelry". If you actually knew anything about the community it was fairly easy to figure out that these blogs were trolls, but most of the people on tumblr at the time either didn't know enough to be able to tell, or didn't even consider that they might be fake

And the most upsetting part? It fucking worked. So many people still seem to think that those posts were genuine reflections of what being otherkin means and how we act or talk about our kin identities

#oh and the people who think it just means relating to a character are also wrong #otherkin #fictionkin #if you didnt realize any of this until you read this post maybe do some googling #find resources written by kin talking about what it means #or kin explaining their own experiences #instead of making fun of people for having an identity you dont understand #the quicksilvers say

does anyone else feel like they can't see themselves identifying with the identity they currently identify with in the future? like i can't see myself being an adult therian or an adult who uses neopronouns and not that i want to "change" but it's probably because i was pushed to think that these things are childish stuff and i will grow out of it /srs

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

#lol I don't remember writing this - I found it when I was searching for something else in my drafts. But it's 100% true so I had to post it.#elizabeth woodville #my post #Imo this is mainly because Elizabeth's negative historiography has always involved both vilification and diminishment in equal measure.#and because her brand of vilification (femme fatale; intriguer) suggests more indirect/“feminine” than legitimate/forceful types of power #It's still bizarre though-you'd think these would be some of the most famous & defining aspects of Elizabeth's life. But apparently not #I guess she only matters when it comes to marrying Edward and Promoting Her Family and scheming against Richard #There is very lacking interest in her beyond those things even in her traditionally negative depictions #And most of her “reassessments” tend to do diminish her so badly she's rendered utterly irrelevant and almost pathetic by the end of it #Even when some of these things *are* mentioned they're never truly emphasized as they should be.#See: her formal appointment in royal councils. It was highly unconventional + entirely unprecedented for queens in the 14th & 15th century #You'd think this would be incredibly important and highlighted when analyzing late medieval queenship in England but apparently not #Historians are more willing to straight-up INVENT positions & roles for so many other late medieval queens/king's mothers that didn't exist #(not getting into this right now it's too long...)#But somehow acknowledging and discussing Elizabeth's ACTUAL formally appointed role is too much for them I guess #She's either subsumed into the general vilification of her family (never mind that they were known as 'the queen's kin' to actual #contemporaries; they were defined by HER not the other way around) or she's rendered utterly insignificant by historians. Often both.#But at the end of the day her individual role and identity often overlooked or downplayed in both scenarios #and ofc I've said this before but - there has literally never been a proper reassessment of Elizabeth's role in 1483-85 TILL DATE #despite the fact that it's such a sensational and well-known time period in medieval England #This isn't even a Wars of the Roses thing. Both Margaret of Anjou and Margaret Beaufort have had multiple different reassessments #of their roles and positions during their respective crises/upheavals by now;#There is simply a distinct lack of interest in reassessing Elizabeth in a similar way and I think this needs to be acknowledged.#Speaking of which - there's also a persistent habit of analyzing her through the context of Margaret of Anjou or Elizabeth of York #(either as a parallel or a foil) rather than as a historical figure in HER OWN RIGHT #that's also too long to get into I just wanted to point it out because I hate it and I think it's utterly senseless #I've so much to say about how all of this affects her portrayal in historical fiction as well but that's going into a whole other tangent #ofc there are other things but these in particular *really* frustrate me #just felt like ranting a bit in the tags because these are all things that I want to individually discuss someday with proper posts...

This is going to sound like a really dumb question, but alterhumam/otherkin/fictionkin/therian/nonhuman systems:

how did y'all first figure out you were a system? What was it like for you in the beginning?

(Any and all systems are welcome to answer, I'm just trying to figure some personal things out honestly)
