This blog is for all metaphysical and spiritual plurals, including metagenic, cosmagenic, spirigenic, metaphysical gateways, spiritual soulbonders/walk-ins, etc. including those who are partially spiritual/metaphysical.
Format asks as "[term] culture is", though we also accept confessions, rambles, and other non-"culture is" asks.
This blog has no DNI aside from the obvious:
We do not welcome anti-endos.
Hateful asks will be deleted and the sender blocked.
We may block people from our main/personal blogs if we are uncomfortable with interaction, but not from here unless harassment is targeted at us or other users of this blog.

I think part of the problem with people misunderstanding fictionkin is that for the average person, relating to a character is the only way they can conceptualize connecting with said character.. I’ve talked to people in my life about being fictionkin, for the most part it’s not relatable, which is fine, I don’t need to be understood to be respected.
When it comes to things people don’t understand, one response is to project their own experiences onto it. This makes it hard to point out the misunderstanding, because they’ve made the topic about them.
I get frustrated trying to explain what being fictionkin is for this reason. Relatability for me is part of it, but not the whole story, and required deep introspection. I find that since I’m a horror villain, I have to really emphasize that relatability is not how I discovered this about myself. Instead it was the constant shifts, and the euphoria I got being seen as Freddy that drew me to this conclusion .
I want to be clear that I’m not trying to excuse the KFF community, instead I want to examine why people often get fictionkin so wrong.
If anyone in the otherkin community follows/sees this can someone explain the "kin for fun" discourse?? I don't consider myself kin for fun but I have thought abt it in the past but obvs don't wanna get involved if it's problematic in some way... but whenever I look it up it looks lik3 ppl are super divided? I just wanna make sure I'm not disrespecting the community ✧ julian
I've got a tag for discussion of it, and the Dragonheart Collective did a solid writeup about it a while ago if you want to start there.
what’s wrong with the phrasing of “i kin X”? what should i say instead?
I'll use one of my oldest kintypes for this.
So if I were to say "I kin Spottedleaf", that would be inaccurate because being kin isn't something you do. It's something you ARE. To say that would give the impression that isn't voluntary and a choice when it's not. It's an identity. It would be more accurate to say "I'm Spottedleafkin" or "one of my past lives is Spottedleaf" if you really wanna be fancy (and are reincarnation spiritualkin).
It's one of those things that on its own doesn't matter all that much, but which has in combination with other factors inadvertently contributed to the rise of people misunderstanding what 'kin means and thinking it's a hobby one does for fun instead of an actual identity, which has since snowballed into a huge mess of misinformation and people who "kin for fun" (KFF/KFFers for short - people who use "kinning" to mean relating to/vibing with/etc. a character/thing and specifically not actually identifying as it) insisting that actually we're the ones who are wrong about what """kinning""" means and are "taking it too seriously". Kin-as-a-verb isn't solely to blame for the KFF phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination (the format of social media is a much bigger part of it), but I do think it contributed and still contributes.
Because of that, using "kin" as a verb is something many consider a red flag for potentially being KFF, and it tells me the person doing it is at minimum a lot less likely to know anything about community history or to be interested in in-depth introspection and discussion (which isn't, like, morally wrong or "not REALLY otherkin" or anything, but it's a cultural divide, y'know?).
Alternative, more grammatically "correct" verbage (including what you already covered) includes:
I'm Spottedleafkin
My kintype is Spottedleaf/My fictotype is Spottedleaf [personal choice which word you prefer]
I am Spottedleaf
I identify as Spottedleaf
(Quick sidebar here: I am at this point of the opinion that voluntary nonhumanity/fictionality should be considered part of 'kinity, even though historically there's been a lot of contention about that - largely because it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to divide out this one specific origin of identity when all other origins are considered to be part of 'kinity - but that's another discussion.)
every time you say "transmascs and transfems" like that encompasses the entire trans community you have to give your local transneutral/transandrogynous person $100

gateway culture is having both psychological (The Vessel's DID:tm:) and metaphysical (The Gateway:tm:) functions/origins and trying to stress the difference but mutual importance to people but also they will just never get it. alas ..
