I feel trapped in a small body

[c-elestialskin]

it starts when you’re a child

you feel as though you’re a black sheep in your family

no one really gets you

you don’t feel like youre one of them

then, one quiet night you go outside and look at the stars

suddenly, all of those negative feelings go away

you feel warm and fuzzy inside

you feel at home

as you start to feel those raging emotions, you reach your hands out and try to touch the stars

you’re so close, you almost make it

but you don’t.

your happiness collapses

everything is wrong again

you wish you were among the stars

and it stays like that forever

Hey y’all— I’m Charon, a lil spacekin. (They/them). I went dormant for a while, and now am just trying to resurface in the otherkin community.

But all the people I was following are inactive/deleted/etc. :(

Can you reblog this if you are otherkin?

Bonus points for other spacekin, and similar content!

I love your blog so much ⭐️💜

Thank you so much! That’s so sweet of you 💖

[galaxygirllester]

how did you know you were galaxykin or spacekin in general?

As soon as I saw the galaxykin tag, I just kinda explored it a little to find out what it was, and I just knew. It's just this deep connection to the stars and galaxies and everything that's so much bigger and more important than this tiny planet we live on. I think it ultimately just gave me a little bit of perspective and a sudden hit of awareness that this is not all there is, all the pain we see daily here on earth, it's not worth it. I bet there are planets out there, like ours but better and more capable of being a functioning society. I think I knew that I was galaxykin because it made more sense than this being all there is. There has to be more, I have to be more. I think a galaxy is about as ethereal as i could possibly get. Sorry, I kinda started rambling there! My bad. ~ Nova

i just wanna take a moment at 2:25am to thank dan and phil for existing, and for existing at the same time i do. because i wouldn't be here without them, and it's slow dissociative days like today, where all i managed was intermittently napping or crying that i'm even more grateful for their continued existence. they don't know me personally, but they've helped me more than i can put into words or make them understand. thank you dan and phil, for always making me smile when i've been this low, and for reminding me somehow that my existence is my own and that things won't be bad forever, even if it feels like they will.

[galaxygirllester]

yo! i'm an adult and i'm interested in following you because we seem interested in similar content, but i couldn't find a byf/about page on your blog. is it cool for me to follow??? if not, that's cool!! have a good day!!

helloo! i hadn’t thought of making one of those actually so this is lowkey a helpful tip!

i don’t mind who follows me on this blog provided there’s no hate or malicious intent! also i keep this blog completely sfw (therefore no inappropriate comments etc)

thank you for asking!

[galaxygirllester]

Hello! You seem like a nice person, would you happen to know of any kin communities online? I'm very confused at the minute and think that talking to other kin would help.

actually yes i do! there’s one called otherkincommunity.net, it's pretty small i’ve found but it’s genuine and the community so far has been lovely. i joined there a while ago but i do sort of prefer tumblr. if you’re looking for support i’m always here, too! hit me up sometime if you fancy it ✨

I wonder how biology can explain the physical pain you feel in your chest when all you want to do is be with someone.

i’ve dreamed about space today and it felt like home

[galaxygirllester]

today, i managed to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving. today i kept breathing. that was all i managed, and i am allowed to be proud of that.

✨ TROLL BLOG CALLOUT POST ✨

i usually try and keep negativity off this blog because it’s not here for that, but these two blogs are causing a lot of issues in the community.

i’d like to clear up the fact that both @ratherbeinspacewithotherstars and @gorekin are troll blogs. they make up stories about things that “have happened” and both blogs say they identify as “gendervoid” which makes not only the otherkin community look bad, but causes the trans community to look stupid as well. as someone who identifies as agender, i’ve had enough of them both saying that gendervoid is valid. i’m sorry, but if either of them are trying to say that they’re neither male or female, the term is agender. it is not okay to create a fake gender when there’s already a word for it. it causes actual valid agender people to look really really fake- and the LGBT community gets enough hate as it is. we already had to battle the issue of people using nounself pronouns and now this… it’s completely unfair.

i urge the valid otherkin out there to block these blogs so that our community can be cleared of trolls. it’s really irritating to see their posts on the tags, and our community shouldn’t have to put up with it.

it sucks that i’ve had to say this at all, but i hope i’ve cleared up any confusion of whether these blogs are real or not.

anyway~ have a lovely day everyone!

PSA

Probably a majority of ‘kin blogs’ on Tumblr are troll blogs.  The good news is that it seems to be less over time, Maybe the trolls are moving on to more cringe-worthy subjects.

In any case, here’s some warning signs that a kin blog might be a troll:

Do they use designer pronouns (ones way off the ones in common use) or use pronouns that relate to their kin type and not gender?  Probably a troll blog.

If you haven’t heard of the sexual orientation they are using, probably a troll blog.  I’m not talking about even the common ones, but the ones that are 

A page full of kin types?  Particularly if more than half of them are fictional characters?  Probably a troll blog.  

If any of them are ‘fact-kin’ (kin with real/historical people)?  Probably a troll blog, the more inflammatory, the more likely.

I don’t understand what a glitch-kin is, but I see it in association with alot of troll blogs.  I’m not going to disparage the term until its better explained to me.. but just saying.

Note the blogs mentioned in the OPs post.  Troll blogs often violate multiple, if not all, of the above principles.  

Theres this grey area of kin blogs run by actual, usually new and young kin, where they have intros like this and then .. write reasonable stuff in their blogs.  I think this is being caused because the troll blogs have set the standard, not us true otherkin.  Basically, the new kin think that this is what kin are.   If they can be corrected, well you can try.   Most the time these days tho, trying to ‘correct’ peoples use of our terminology gets accusations of gatekeeping.. I’ll try to move that rant to another post.

[jeshire-deactivated20230502]

Troll blogs usually get their material from tumblrkin and bring ableism and transphobia to the table a lot, treating all these as the same or very similar things. The issue is that it seems a lot of tumblrkin genuinely do this, along with freaking out and going on to act manipulative and guilt tripping people where they’re called out.

The only difference is that troll blogs will wait a lot longer to block people usually because the reactions they get are their goal, not something that genuinely distresses them. They’ll play it up too, same as the occasional genuine asshole who gets pissed off about someone replying to their posts and does nothing about it, only to make a huge stink about it continuing to happen instead of blocking that person.

It’s a sad day when we have to genuinely play “tumblrkin or troll?”. And we do. Like a lot.

[alynna-menagerie]

Tumblrkin.  I knew there was a word for it and I’ve seen it before but never knew what it meant.   Thanks for helping an old vixen increase her vocabulary. 

[galaxygirllester]

Not to start this up again, but I feel that the people who've reblogged this added some really good information.

[labyrinthine-kin-wonders-blog]

You wanna know what otherkin actually are?

Amazing. They are amazing. I can not help but point out how awesome they are. I may be otherkin, but even beforehand it wasn’t hard to look at them and be amazed
