I've heard of the term demikin but I'm not fully sure what it means. Could you explain it?
of course ! Demi-kin, or half-kin, are beings who partially identify as their kintype, apposed to fully embracing and identifying. Typically used to express a partial identity.
this term holds a very close definition to "demi-human," despite having a few differences. Demi-kin hold the middle ground--the balance of being human but also not--while demi-human folk are a hybrid, a mix of the humanity and animalistic parts. demi-kin is the still separate but mix, demi-human is the mix.
Demi-kin folk tend to hold a close relationship with their humanity, valuing their humanity and human experiences the same as their animal experiences. While some beings argue that demi-kin are just "regular old otherkin," that isn't completely true.The experiences of demi-kin folk have most definitely existed before the coining of the term, they're wasn't always the label for it. If a being wants to use the label, then let them. Your personal bias shouldn't affect how a being wants to label themselves. The label is also used by folk who feel like they need to hold a distinction from those who fully identify as their kintype.
a flag found on the demi-kin wiki page, the source isn't listed. more sources under the cut. Some information was gathered from reddit threads and personal conversations.
Demihuman, alternatively written as 'demi-human,' refers to a being that is characterized by a combination of human and nonhuman qualities.
