#kinformation

[moonpool-system]

Being a median system and also otherkin is kinda wild. "Is a facet formed from a kintype(kinform)", "is in a kin shift of the kintype but is a different facet", "Is the kinform and also kin shifted to the same kintype", and "Is the kinform but is shifted to a different kintype" are all different distinct states I can be in.

Kin Terminology Question!

Hiya and good timezones everypony! We’ve got a question that we’re going to throw out here - it’s something we’re having trouble finding out online and it’s for a positivity post!

For all y’all who are kin out there! >w<

What’s the difference between kin, otherkin, kinform, kintype, and kinshift? Are those first 4 the same thing and kinshift means your kintype causes you to experience shifts, like a werewolf?

Many members in our system have kintypes, but we’re woefully uneducated about the kin community and kinning terminology! But we’re writing a positivity post for kinplural systems, and we want to be as accurate as we can in the words we use to celebrate these folks! :3

Thanks so very much in advance! So sorry if this comes off as ignorant or offensive… we want to be thoughtful and respectful when writing our posts, and Google hasn’t been much help for answering these kin questions! >_<

Edit: Thanks a bunch to @whatever-you-can-give-me and @fruityenderman for your responses! Y’all made sense of this for us and answered our questions! Pluralpedia has our back for the kinform definition! Again, thanks a lot! Now we can confidently write our post :33

How I'm Different From Our Other Kingenic Members

My name is Frost, and I'm a kinform, an introject of a kintype. Rowan's dragon kintype to be exact.

Rowan has a median subsystem with their fictotypes, but I'm not part of it. The way they usually describe it is they are their 'types, but when they have a shift their facets aren't them. That's fine. I'm separate though. Rowan and I are the same species, that's all. I'm never them and I never have been, and I don't know what their view on it is, if they were ever me.

Wren formed in a similar way, but Rowan isn't a dryad anymore since she split off, so she's not as defensive about this. Toothless is separate too but there's still a Toothless in Rowan's subsystem, so they share a proxy because they can't usually tell which they are. The ponies and Beatrix are like I described above. I feel like I'm alone in my experience, and sometimes like I should just get over it since no one else has a problem.

Identity is often too complicated to explain to another being by its very nature. But it's also something many find important to try and explain, myself included. I want to be understood. Maybe I'll talk more about myself sometime, instead of about my relation to others.

cringe system culture is having five different versions of the original as headmates, two of which are kinforms, another two have kintypes of the first two, and the last being the token cishet beret enthusiast we all hated for about 4 years

[fictionkinfessions]

Ok so I've been annoyed about this for fucking ages, so now I'm going to complain about it. This isn't prompted by some ask sent in or whatever I've just decided that Today's The Day.

There's been a lot of talk about the difference between fictionkins and fictives on here; a lot of "how can I tell if I'm a fictionkin or if we have a fictive", and "this character is a fictionkin'type but they might be a fictive/I'm not sure if they're a fictive/I might be a fictive", etc. And there's been a not-insubstantial amount of people responding to that in a way that we feel is pretty close-minded. So we're going to complain about it now.

There is a lot of responses to those kinds of questions and thoughts that are all just "There's actually a huge difference between the two and you'd know right away". This is incredibly fucking annoying to us, as a system with a lot of fictionkintypes. This may shock you, but there's a nuance to this, which nobody seems to care about.

For certain people, the difference between a fictionkintype and a fictive could be really clear, and they'd immediately know "Oh okay we have a new John Egbert fictive, neat" and "One of us is a fictionkin of N from Pokémon". The problem is though that for a lot of people (ourselves included), it's not that clear at /all/. For example, we have previously had a lot of issues trying to figure out where the line between kintype and fictive was drawn, due to the way we function. We're very homogenous, in a lot of ways, for a lot of reasons. Ergo, sometimes, it'll take days, if not WEEKS, of deliberation to figure out who is what.

People also seem to forget that terms exist that, obviously, point to this not being nearly as clear-cut an issue as it's thought of. Fableing, for one, being an identity which / someone who is both a fictive and a fictionkin of a particular character at the same time. Or kinforms (a kintype-turned-fictive), or Kin systems (https://pluralpedia.org/w/Kin_System), or median systems or monoconscious systems. Etc. If it was as simple to figure out as it's portrayed; these terms wouldn't be there to use, I feel like. Am I making sense so far?

And while we're here; not the biggest fan of how. Medicalist, I guess, the responses tend to feel. Gesturing at the close-mindedness I mentioned. The very black-and-white view on it gives off Bad Vibes, we'll say. Not a fan.

Regardless; sorry for the essay. Just that my patience has worn thin on this and I'm so, so sick of it.

hmmm gonna be a little bitey here but, plural community acknowledge that systems & system members can also be otherkin challenge. Lots of systems end up masking with kin shifts, but the narrative always seems to surround those that realize all their otherkin identities were actually other members. And there's nothing wrong with that, of course, but it gets to the point where people invalidate otherkin systems with that concept??? And they don't seem to realize how much variation there is. What about the systems that realized only some are kintypes and some are other members? What about systems that realized their kintypes actually belong to different individual members of the system? What about kinforms where the person they came from is still otherkin afterword? What about past life forms, whether they ID as kinforms or not? Exotraumagenic members? What about members that discovered their own kintypes after they arrived/formed/split? Medians that feel like they're both? We can't just brush this sort of thing aside. All alterhumans deserve to have a voice about our experiences. Otherkinity is deeply personal and can be intertwined with plurality in so many ways, and the prevailing narrative doesn't account for that.

Here’s some positivity for kinplural systems!

For many systems, their plurality is defined by their kins, kinforms, kintypes, and kinshifts! These individuals definitely are still plural, and are a shining, integral part of the plural community! This post aims to celebrate and uplift kinplural systems of all sorts!

🐉 Shoutout to systems whose kintypes developed into headmates later in life!

🦡 Shoutout to systems who mistook their headmates for kintypes at first!

🐙 Shoutout to those who struggle to determine if their kintypes are kins or actually separate headmates!

🦅 Shoutout to systems who consciously chose to develop their kintypes into kinforms, or headmates based on kintypes!

🦈 Shoutout to systems who question whether their experiences align more with kinshifts, cofronting with a headmate that has their own kintype, or something else!

🐅 Shoutout to systems who are made up entirely of otherkin members!

🐊 Shoutout to systems who share a collective kintype!

🐏 Shoutout to systems whose members may have multiple kintypes!

🦚 Shoutout to those who used to be plural, and whose headmates’ kintypes remained after the system had fused!

🐕 Shoutout to systems whose plurality is inherently connected to their kin identities!

🦝 Shoutout to headmates who are confused about whether they’re otherkin, copinglink, otherhearted, or simply nonhuman!

We hope that every kinplural system out there can have pride in their identities as kin and as plural! Remember that as long as the plural framework works or you, you will always be wanted and cherished as members of the plural community, and we are honored to share this space with you!

Please treat yourself and your system with kindness today! We care about you, we believe in you, and we’re rooting for you in all that you do. Thanks so much for reading, and take care!

Kin System (or Kincontinuum)

Definitions:

1. A system whose members are Kinforms/forms headmates from their kintypes, or their kintypes gain autonomy and become system members.

2. A person who’s stuck between Otherkin and Plural.

A person who could be considered Kingenic, but is stuck between Kintypes that feel self-contained and autonomous, and a system. Similar to a Median system, where you’re interconnected and less distinct than Multiple Systems.

3. A person who became a system through being kin with a system.

4. An umbrella term for different people who feel like their Otherkin-ness and Pluralness are interconnected and related to each other
