It's Been Quite Some Time Since I've Last Written Here, And I'm Excited To Announce How I've Been Doing!
It's been quite some time since I've last written here, and I'm excited to announce how I've been doing! After over a year of work, I've finally become much more comfortable in my identity as fictionkin and have incorporated it into my life as a spiritual belief ✨️ I plan to open up a bit more about my thoughts and feelings regarding this because I spent quite a long time in therapy sorting out how I felt about this, and have made the decision to no longer push this aspect of myself away as it's been crucial to my recovery and to understanding myself. I'm grateful for the existence of a community that's allowed me to be able to make sense of my thoughts and emotions, and plan to have a bit more on this blog as I continue to work with my identity 💖

Do people still make and post kin playlists, is that still something people do

Playlist Challenge!
I see a lot of “kin playlists” on the “fluffy” side of otherkin tumblr, so I decided to put more thought into a “playlist challenge”! I find it hard to believe that a stranger can “assign” someone a playlist for their personal canon, so why not do it yourself instead?
This is, of course, geared towards fictionkin. However, copinglinkers and otherhearted can also participate!
Despite the tag “ask meme”, this is meant to be one playlist, not a bunch of asks asdfghjk. Though it can be done that way!!
1. A song that personally reminds you of your kintype in general/just has their “vibes”.
2. A song that thematically reflects your kintype in some way.
3. A song that reminds you of a happy or fond memory.
4. A song that brings forth a more negative memory.
5. A song that reflects a significant event in their life, bad or good.
6. A song that tends to put you in a mental or phantom shift.
7. A song that you associate with an important figure in your kintype’s life.
8. A song representing your kintype in an archetypal manner. Down to their base personality.
9. A song that reminds you of your kintype’s past.
10. If there are any, a song canonically related to your kintype, either in the source’s official soundtrack (if there is one) or just a song that the canon source’s creator associates them with.
11. A song that is commonly associated with them that, while not your personal choice, you can still enjoy.
12. A song that reminds you of your current life, is in stark contrast to your kintype, or can easily snap you out of a shift. Perfect end to a kintype playlist.
Yes, the hilarious karmic backlash of forcing a non-human misanthrope to live as a human, with every trait that could fit into humanity being carried along with him. The pain running down the length of my back where my wings had been, the hypermobility with joints that break far more easily, cold blue blood translating to dysautonomia, and for it to be so isolating. Something of a fitting punishment, I suppose.

Almost the same, but just a step to the left
I must say, being involved with the kin community on a genuine level is still something I value, but I am not certain how much I still identify with it. This blog will remain standing of course, but I may discuss spirituality on a more general level.
