How did you find out your kins with foods? And how does that work im really curious!!/gen(feel free to delete this if it sounds offensive^^)
Not offensive at all! I actually really enjoy talking about being foodkin shjkdskhf
It's a little hard to explain without an essay but I'll try to keep this brief! I discovered my food kintypes the same way I discover most of my others. I used a combination of meditating for memories and a general "hey that's me" vibe.
But Ichabod, foods don't have memories!!!
Aha! You've got me there. But! They can if you believe in animism! What is animism? Basically, it is the belief that everything has its own sort of "energy" (whether its called a consciousness, soul, spirit, energy, etc. varies from person to person.) Plants, rocks, elements, animals, man-made objects, and yes, food. Many people across the world believe in animism for reasons such as spirituality/religion, neurotype, superstition, or even just its appeal as a belief system!
(My belief in animism goes hand in hand with my objectumsexuality!)
Ichabod! Does that mean you believe food is sentient and it upsets you when people chew gum???
No! I love eating my foodtypes lmao. Besides, the level of energy objects have is often not the same as sentient beings have. It's more nuanced than just "everything is alive."
So I started out thinking "Hey I think I'm bubblegum spiritually" "hey I think I'm Mango Loco Monster" "Hey I think I'm candy corn" etc etc. and then I did a little research (and taste testing hehe) I meditated for memories, I thought about the way each thing made me feel and how I felt in relation to them and figured yeah, I am foodkin.
I hope this made sense! Thank you for the ask!
