Am I Stressing Myself Into Splitting?

Been thinking about my tag system and am likely going to use some emojis! I'll move a few more posts over here before I solidify it, but I do have a plan!

Akira Kusaka

Why would you bring a man back to life and take away all of his defining features except for his neurotic, debilitating anxiety

Thinking of making a more well-rounded introduction once I can tell that my blog is showing up in the tags

Oh this is my blog! I can put insects here!

I'm at the point where I can say with almost 100% conviction that I'm certain I had wings in a past life

I must say, othercon is making me feel genuine pride and comfort in my kin identity 💖

Quite interesting really, to see the same themes from roughly eight years ago resurfacing once again, though with a much different emotional flavor to it.

Day 1: What is your fictotype? Are you a specific character, a nonhuman species, or both?

My kintype is Sh.aiapouf from the anime/manga series H.unter x Hu.nter.

While the typing I have is in regard to the character, I would be inclined to say nonhuman species as well - as much as I identify with the character, I identify with his insectoid traits as well.

Day 5: Do you fictionflicker?

I do not.

Day 6: When did you realize you were fictionkin? How long have you been in the community?

I would say I had my first inklings and thoughts at least seven or eight years ago at this point. I had been in a very dark place mentally and had been glancing over at the kin community; it seemed comforting in a way I did not know how to voice. I didn't formally identify with it until only a year or two ago. I hadn't been willing to accept the identity because it felt "cringeworthy", embarrassing to admit to. I hadn't made a formal move half a decade ago because I'd been concerned about what it would have done to my already precarious grip on my mental health - how would removing myself further from reality help me cling to it?

Now, in a much more stable place and state of mind, my acceptance comes from a place of simply wanting to harmonize with myself more. It had been something my therapist had suggested, to take a spiritual angle to some of the more internally distressing things in my life. I am at peace with my identity and find community with others here, though I've only reached out to the overall community within the past year.

Lots of answers, but I didn't exactly take a linear path now, did I?
