Terminology Corrections
Just some terminology corrections. Most of us know that ‘kin’ isn’t a verb, but some people don’t know how to not use kin in that way, so I’ve made a post that should help with that.
Otherkin is who you are, not what you do.
“I’m kinning x/I am kin with x/I kin x”: - I am x kin - I am x - I identify as x - My kintype/theriotype/fictotype is x
“If I kinned”: - If I discovered I was x kin - If I was x kin - If I was otherkin, I would be x - If I discovered I was otherkin, I would be x - If I was a(n) x
“Kinner:” - Otherkin - Kin - Therian (If earthly animals) - Fictionkin (If fictional)
“I’m going to kin x”: - I discovered I am x kin - I discovered I am x
If you’d like to add on any more or correct anything I’ve said, please do so!
So are you going to tell us about the giant hyperpredatory sperm whales or do I have to go google some nightmares myself?
we’re all familiar with the Sperm Whale of our modern seas, largest of the Toothed Whales! it’s also completely specialized for eating squid and squid ONLY, a comfort to anyone who’s ever managed to get just a bit too close to those enormous razor jaws.
but this was very much not always the case! the earlier members of the Sperm Whale lineage were much less… discerning.
early Sperm Whales all resembled our friendly modern swimming school bus to some degree, but the main difference was in the jaws- early Sperm Whales like Acrophyseter and Zygophyseter all had wide, powerful jaws with ENORMOUS teeth suitable for snacking on fish, dolphins, aquatic sloths, and pretty much anything else they could fit down their enormous gullets, kind of like a modern Orca.
and from 12 to 7 million years ago, these things RULED the seas. Megalodon who?
but the greatest of these was Livyatan Melvillei, which was the size of our modern Sperm Whale.
reaching up to 60 feet long and weighing well over 60 tons, it this thing was a Sea Monster in every sense of the word.
it is so BONKERS huge that they named it after the Hebrew name for the Biblical Leviathan (and also Herman Melville, who would have gotten a real kick out of it). I cannot overstate how unsafe it would be to share an ocean with this thing. Moby Dick would have been an entirely different book if it was still around.
so what does a 60-feet hyperpredatory whale eat?
*Groucho Marx voice* WHY, ANYTHING IT WANTS.
(but mostly other whales.)
Livyatan spent most of its time cruising around looking for delicious smaller whales to shove into that nightmare maw up there, a lifestyle choice we call macroraptorial. though in a pinch, anything else would also do.
(basically, if you were a mid-sized baleen whale in the paleozoic seas you were just SHIT out of luck, between Megalodon and this thing.)
Livyatan may have died out as little as 5 million years ago, meaning it might even have been around to make the early ancestors of Orcas regret their life choices! (Livyatan is the only animal that could possibly make an Orca regret anything, but God, at what cost)
but die out they did, and that’s probably a good thing for us. why don’t we all just take a moment to really appreciate our modern hyperspecialized Sperm Whales, especially the part where they don’t eat us!

Aquatic sloths?
Thalassocnus. Got pretty big, between 2 and 3 meters long. Used their claws to walk across the sea floor.
See the monster whales eating the giant underwater sloths
why would you hide this in the tag?

Shaking your head/body really fast when you have water on yourself and totally forgetting human bodies arent meant for that
My instincts after a shower: It’s concussion time!!! :D
Also doing a little foot and butt shake. (Like yeah, that really going to get that water off… (/sarcasm)
I honestly thought doing that helped ^^’ Until I end up back kicking the faucet.. ouch.
u ever wish u could just shed ur skin and bones and become an ethereal weightless being that travels anywhere and everywhere

i just.. feel like i am meant to be so much more than i am
what is the history of the word kinnie?
It was created by antikin to make fun of otherkin/fictionkin, mocking us and is based off of the T slur. So, you can certainly see why a lot of people (especially those who are trans) would feel very uncomfortable with that word. https://nonhumanwithin.tumblr.com/post/649741164634882048/wait-are-you-implying-that-knnie-censored
Also, idk if you’re anon from that post I rbed or what the context was behind it, so I’m sorry if I’m assuming anything but, most people don’t have much of an issue with the word “kinnie” but the fact that people who do not identify as kin have taken our terms and used them for something else, like relating to a character, when there are other terms they could easily use or could very well make their own words. Building up a new community I think would be really fun and I sure as heck would support a new KFF (kin-for-fun, what we call “kinnies”) community as long as they are respectful of us (and I’ll bite anyone who doesn’t respect the KFFs too) and they stop using the words we’ve fought to use for over 5 decades and water down our terminology to fit something that is just a different experience. Nothing wrong with being KFF except for the fact that they steal our words. I mean, if you genuinely think the actual definition of kin (identifying as something else) really fits you, no one can tell you otherwise! And if you’re questioning or just curious, you’re still welcome in the kin community. Just please, stop. using. our. word. That’s literally all we ask. All it does is hurt people :(
(a word already exists to describe what KFFs experience: "copinglink")
yup! or otherlink, kith/otherhearted, synpath, comfort character, “same, me” “I stan this character”. there are so many things to choose from and yet they pick a word that doesn’t belong to them
Helping rehabilitate birds sounds like a dream. It must be so cool working with the birds and helping them be able to be released back into the wild.
It is cool! The birds do not appreciate it at all. It’s so rewarding to watch an owl or a hawk or a crow fly off into the wild for the first time after an injury knowing that it absolutely hates your guts and wants you to die.
this man wants to see me dismembered:
We released a raven once who immediately went "What? The free rood and warm room are finished? Oooh Nooooo, My Wing Is Broken Again, Thank God You People Were Here To Help!" and walked right back into the crate.
“Oh please please designate me unreleasable and let me be an ambassador animal! I will only cuss and bite people... sometimes.”

I’ve reblogged it before, but this post always sticks with me - just for the reminder that although humans have mastered flight, of a sort, it’s just so very DIFFERENT from how birds experience it
