Hi, my name's Fundy. I'm a fucktive from the DreamSMP and I'm part of a mixed origins system. [@solarwindsempire]
I'm an autism symptom holder, and our host. I somewhat regularly go nonverbal, and I'm part fox.
I'm a trans boy, I will /neg bite you if you use she/her on me. He/they are preferred over neopronouns, but I don't mind you using neos on me if it's to practice.

A very basic PSA on otherkin+ terms!
1. Kin. See otherkin, fictionkin, factkin. To identify AS something, such as a mythical creature, earthly animal, fictional character, or someone that exists (or existed) in the world. Often spiritually based, and aren’t a choice. Tend to have “shifts”. Fictionkin and factkin are NOT the same thing as fictives and factives, although sysmates can have kintypes, too!
2. Kith. To identifying strongly WITH something, but not AS it. Can be spiritual or not. Usually not seen as a choice, but experiences vary. Kith don’t usually have “shifts” like kin tend to.
3. Otherhearted, animalhearted. To identifying strongly WITH something, but not AS it. For example “cat-hearted”, “dragon-hearted”, etc. Again, individual experiences differ, but can be spiritual or not, and may or may not be considered a choice. Doesn’t usually “shift” like kin.
4. Synpath. Used to describe feeling a profound connecting WITH something, but not AS it. Again, individual experiences differ, but can be spiritual or not, and may or may not be considered a choice. Doesn’t usually “shift” like kin.
5. Copinglink(er). AKA “clink”/“clinker”. Identifying as OR with something as a coping mechanism. Often psychological. May or may not be, but is often seen as an intentional connection formed for mental and emotional purposes. Could have “shifts” similar to kin.
6. “Shift” is when someone “shifts” to feeling more like their kintype. Often a change in mental or emotional perception, but can include the bodily sensation of wings, tails, etc. Often involuntary, but can sometimes be induced. Generally positive, but can be uncomfortable.
May also indicate a specific kintype if they have more than one. For example, “I was in a dragon shift, but now I’m in an eel shift.” Short for “shapeshift.” Not to be confused with “fronting”, which is specifically for plural systems to indicate which sysmate is out.
7. “Kintype” is the term for someone’s nonhuman identity. For example, “My kintype is a bullfrog.” Kinfolk can have more than one kintype. This is sometimes called being “polykin”. For those preferring the term therian, the equivalent is “theriotype”.
FYI: It’s often seen as incorrect to say “my kins”; it is seen as more correct to say “my kintypes”, as “kin” is what you do or are, not something you have.
8. Therianthropes, or therians, are often seen as related to but different from otherkin— otherkin often being mythical animals, and therians being earthly animals. Some feel therians are more different still, with some feeling it is closer to lycanthropy. YMMV! Ask people.
Adding onto this, which wasn’t in the original thread, but:
9. “KFF”, aka, “kin for fun”. Started off as a way to mock kinfolk. People who vibe with an animal, object, character, whatever, and use the term “kin” or “kinnies” for that experience. HERE is a very good post on why KFF tends to be detrimental to the kin community, other terms that would be better suited for the experience, and in general why it’s NOT the same thing as otherkin/fictionkin/factkin.
10. “Fictive” is a term for an individual within a plural system, who is someone– or is from somewhere– that is fictional in this world. Can sometimes be spiritual, sometimes not. Can be brought into the system on purpose, but usually isn’t. Some see themselves as having really existed somewhere in the multiverse. They are NOT the same thing as fictionkin, though some can also be kin, too!
11. “Factive” is a term for an individual within a plural system, who is someone that did– or still does– exist in this world. Can be someone historical, celebrities, or people the system knew personally like friends, family, pets, or abusers. Can sometimes be spiritual, sometimes not. Can be brought into the system on purpose, but usually isn’t. They are NOT the same thing as factkin, though some can also be kin, too!
This is a VERY fast and simplified explanation on common terms. Please, please do some research beyond this if needed, and TALK to people who are therians/kinfolk. While terms tend to have a set meaning, beliefs among individuals are beautifully diverse. TY for reading!
My favourite math fact is that 0.9999999.. is equal to 1. Exactly. Not approximately. Not as a rounded number. 0.9999 (recurring) is exactly 1.
Question. How the fuck does that work?
I tried explaining it here:
Here’s another perspective on why .999… repeating is exactly equal to 1.
For any two distinct real numbers, we can always find a rational number strictly between them, i.e. that rational number must be able to be expressed as a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal. To be clear, that rational number is strictly between the two values; it is not allowed to be equal to either.
Suppose k is a rational number strictly between 1 and 0.9999…. If this is possible, then, I can write k exactly as either a decimal with finite digits, or I can write k as a repeating decimal. The problem is, there are no decimals with finite digits between 1 and 0.999… , and there is no way to write a repeating decimal that is greater than 0.999… and still less than 1. Either way, a k strictly between 1 and 0.999… does not exist. The only way this can be true is if those two numbers are not actually distinct. That is to say, 1 = 0.999…..
i truly appreciate how math seems like it’s this infallible always-true only-one-answer thing, when in reality math is just like:
you can also do:
x=0.999 (rep)
10x=9.999 (rep)
10x - x = 9.999 (rep) - 0.999 (rep)
9x = 9
x = 1
therefore, 0.999 (rep) = 1

@charlesoberonn
Another one:
1/3 = .333(rep)
1/3 + 1/3 +1/3 = .333(rep) + .333(rep) + .333(rep)
1 = .999(rep)

non-human trans characters who use different gender signifiers from us is sooo underrated. transfem bird person who thinks her colorful plumage means she cant pass only for every human she meets to be completely clueless. transmasc slime person who uses food dye to change themselves to bright orange, leading everyone they know to question how the hell slime gender works.

Dropping my quirk to talk about our plurality really quick.
We have OSDD-1B and are medically recognized by that term but it's weird because we function different than most medical systems.
Our inner world is influenced by what we're doing in the body. Living room? Then its a living room.
Switching is fluid, and never as...... Long? As we see in medical systems. We're all always co;con with each other and the hosts NEVER leave front
And we're all introjects but three alters which gets upsetting from the hate and Fakeclaims.
I think we're on the endo sys spec and not medical but idk.
And we have alters come and go, we had introjects that stayed for a few weeks and then disappeared as the hyperfix did.
Advice needed 💜
It's alright to exist without a clear definition of where you are on the scale of medical to non-medical, we certainly don't know where we're at ^
Finding perfect labels is hard, and frustrating, and a lot of the time is entirely impossible. We jokingly call ourselves a "disordered non-disordered system", lol
Having fluid switches and tons of introjects is something we in particular relate to, and as sucky as it is- sometimes you just have to say "fuck it" and ignore fakeclaimers
It's alright to just exist, even if it is frustrating to not be able to label yourselves perfectly. We still struggle with wanting to find a label that fits, and "disordered non-disordered system" is ironically the closest we've got (personally)
I'd say try not to worry too much with labels, if you can, and focus more on explaining the experience in other ways
Prompt #93
Following the merging of two alternate universes, many people are finding that they've fused together with their alternate self to become someone entirely new. Person A, however, has found that their fusion is purely external; they're now sharing this new body with their alternate self, and both are feeling a little lost with how to go about adjusting to their new lives.
Prompt #94
Vigilante A watched as the detective struggled to catch up to them. "Do you need a hand there, Detective B? Perhaps a quick lesson in roof hopping?"
"No," Detective B spat, but their gaze lingered on the gap between the roof they were standing on and the roof Vigilante A was standing on, before they added under their breath, "I still don't know how you managed to find my real name like that."
If Vigilante A hadn't trained themselves to pick up on mutters that quiet, they probably would have missed the implied question. Since they had, however, they simply replied, "Wasn't that hard to break into your database and do some cross-referencing with your code name. Speaking of, since when do detectives like you need code names? Isn't that just for the FBI or whoever?"
Detective B gave them a look like they were regretting ever taking this vigilante case. Which, thanks to Headmate C, Vigilante A knew was true – but that just wouldn't do, now would it? They couldn't have Detective B getting tired of them. Vigilante A reached out a hand to the detective, who'd gone back to eyeing the gap between roofs.
"C'mon, detective, give it a go. I promise I'll catch you if you fall."
Prompt #95
"It was an accident, I swear!"
"How do you accidentally create a machine that forces us to share a body for a week?!"
"... By running on one hour of sleep and twenty coffees mixed with energy drinks?"
