Tech Fun Fact #7

The term “kin”, in contexts of fictionkin or otherkin, actually originated from a Lord of the Rings forum! Some members of the forum felt as if they where spiritually elves from the series, and thus coined the term “Elfkin”. When other kintypes appeared, Elfkins assigned them as “Otherkin”, which is where the term comes from!

an update!

re: cat otherhearted-type

i've confirmed at this point that it is a heart-type, rather than a kin- or therio-type.

re: werwolf?

turns out i have a second otherhearted-type.

re: tail

this one's pretty interesting. turns out that sometimes i experience two tails at once! at the time of that original post, i was feeling my faun tail (goat-like) in a ghost shift, but a longer, lion-like tail in a visage shift. weird!

I know I'm made of clay that's worn / blinded by imperfect form (creature - half•alive)

a drawing i did a few days ago that im extremely proud of. its about nonhumanity of course, about how a person is not their body, but how they see themselves. it represents my three kintypes: dragon, enderman and unicorn, and how phantom shifts can make them overlap sometimes over my physical body.

edit - i based my drawing on this one by @mossymenagerieart! go look at his art its really cool
