my kinmunity guideline is always this: "Be So Normal". treat everyone as though they are not yours. while hope is a lovely thing, you don't get to just get overfamiliar with people immediately simply because you knew them Then. they're different HereNow—and, if you like it or not, so are you (yes! even fictives!) and so: i act as though sourcemates are simply sourcemates and not potential canonmates/timeline-mates/soulmates. this has the benefit of making it so i don't hold my tongue when speaking about memories: i am able to say "now, this is true for me, but your mileage my vary" at the start, without hurting my feelings or those of others.

this has lead to better results, frankly. i do know three of my soulmates, after all! just don't be afraid to reach out and ask when you think someone is familiar; that's the part i struggle with. when my captain brought up the possibility of being one another's canonmates, i left him with the impression that i didn't feel that familiarity as strongly, because i was trying so hard not to overreach that i stifled my joy completely. don't do that? do not do that. that's not "Being So Normal". be Actually so normal. ("don't overcorrect!" - his notes)

community rules:

If someone cares a bit too hard about who and how you kin, what happened, and whether you are problematic for it?

theyre either 13 or very very stupid.

do not give a fuck about how others feel about how you experience kinning

Canon Rules:

I don't do call posts. I'll join servers now and again, but overall I'd much rather someone look at my blog and decide to reach out (for better or for worse). I'll establish my presence, but that's about it lol

I do not go into any interaction looking for Canonmates. In fact, quite the opposite - the odds of finding your actual canonmates is slim imo, and if anyone jumps to that conclusion too quickly, I take a couple steps back. That being said, canonmates are not people who I have to enjoy, nor people who deserve anything extra from me than anyone else just because of a shared source. I knew you once, that does not mean you are owed anything from me.

Relationships based only on kintypes are a no-go. I'm a new person, with more than a few years under my belt, and I cannot (nor will I force myself to) be who I used to. Basing entire relationships of any kind on only the kin side of things leads to a shallow, partial truth of who we are to each other. Friends, partners, acquaintances, all are applicable for this. On the other side of things, I avoid (to the best of my abilities) kin assigning people I'm close to, even if it's just to myself. I'm not immune to personal bias, so I just avoid the matter entirely when possible.

I don't like talking about my whole kin list, so every time anyone shares their kins, I usually pick two or three "adjacent" kins to the one that group knows me for. Some of which I avoid talking about entirely outside of certain spaces (For example; Shadow, Dean, and Logan), because a lot of people (kinfolk included) have a very shallow perspective of their characters.

canonrules-- interacting with sourcemates specifically to make friends, NOT find canonmates. in my experience, when you aren't looking and you just wanna find people you vibe with, you tend to run into your canonmates Completely on accident. a watched pot never boils i suppose?? also, i have my kin list in a discord server with aforementioned canonmates and i don't tend to share it with the public. i might off-handedly mention i'm kin with a character if it's relevant? but i never just, drop the kin list. too personal, i guess? unless we're friends? - #🦔✨🎸

Ask game idea: Kin-munity guidelines. Rules you impose on yourself when interacting with spaces around your source(s), like never mentioning a certain kin to avoid drama or leaving out details of your canons.

Mine is, like a few other people I've seen on here, I pretend to be a singlet in kin spaces so I don't get hounded about fictives in my system.

canonrules. try my best to avoid bringing up any negative experiences i've had with my friends. i've considered doing it on here before during bad moments, since i can always go anon, but nah. thank god i decided against it.

recently decided to try avoiding grudges against anyone i did hate back then, also. the reasons were usually just childish and petty. bullshit i made up about them in my head because i was jealous or assuming things. i wasn't the best kid

canon rules... if i havent already submitted this...

i never talk to a chance who doesnt talk to me first. like, if im talking somewhere and he talks to me? then i will respond. but if hes talking somewhere, i dont talk to him, except maybe under our anonymous proxy. i dont want to hurt him with my existence, really.

after all of this, i still am precisely as selfish as i was back then, i guess.
