I think about this a lot cause it really just lays out what Asgore’s flaws are Ive seen people talk about how despite his life falling apart he’s really just a nice guy and that’s true but nice isn’t the same as doing what’s needed

It was nice of him to cook breakfast but he didn’t take into account how it would affect a high empathy child like Asriel

It’s nice of him to give all his flowers away but it comes from him refusing to accept how his life has changed and the lifestyle changes he needs to make as a result of it

It’s nice of him to hug Kris but he forgot the boundaries of what they’re comfortable with

It’s nice- well it’s not nice to send gifts to your ex who’s moved on but you can see why he conceptualizes it as such, but obviously that’s not what she wants

Asgore’s generally a nice well meaning guy. Well meaning does not make up for not listening to those around you and refusing to confront the reality of your situation

my hot take is that it doesn't matter why you're otherkin or how you came to be otherkin- if you identify as or are another creature you can call yourself otherkin

yes this includes otherkin by choice

as long as someone choosing to be otherkin actually, earnestly identifies as otherkin I literally do not care. I care when our labels get watered down to "identify with another creature" or "relate to another creature" because that erases the meaning of these words. these terms were founded to describe people who are other creatures.

I am a crow. I am a gray fox. I am fae.

I didn't choose these things. I don't have a problem with people who do.

I think the term otherlink can be valuable but I think it can exist alongside being otherkin by choice. gatekeeping reason behind the term "otherkin" doesn't help us. if someone isn't watering down terminology, if they actually identify as another animal, then they are taking nothing from us.

defiance-of-the-flesh

If anything, thinking about it, I'd argue otherlink should come under the otherkin umbrella.

If you're otherlink you're still otherkin. Otherlink just describes a specific flavour of otherkinity.

I mean, when it comes to spiritual and psychological otherkinity, we don't go "actually one of these isn't otherkin this is [idk make up a label]" so why do we do it for voluntary identities?

I think it's nice that the label otherlink exists. It serves it's purpose, to describe a specific experience within the community. But seeing this post and thinking about it (even as someone who has "corrected" people on this term usage in the past) I agree that labelling it as separate from otherkinity is kinda silly.

#so real #i took a break from the community for years and i come back and it is. WORSE???#wolves dont care about labels
