Hey. VSauce here.

Hey Ava! What do you think wrathia's favourite food is? I think it's lava /j :>

Also why do YOU kin your current main? I'm nosy

Hey Nonnie! Wrathia’s favorite food is my impulses and wine.

Why I kin Ava? Well it’s kinda personal and a bit hard to explain. I feel connected to her in a way similar to my other kins but currently a stronger connection right now. I have BPD and struggle alot with my identity. One way I cope is through kinning and having a steady identity through something already established helps me to feel more secure in myself. It does come with its own issues but eh we gonna go through therapy soon anyways so!

I headcanon Ava as having BPD, PTSD and autism like me. Her character strongly suggests she’s neurodivergent and she struggles greatly with her own demons throughout the comic.

I can just connect with that. The anger, the grief, the yearning. I experience so many similar emotions in the ways she expresses them that I just feel like looking inside a mirror everytime I read the comic.

🌙Top 5 Tips for New/Questioning Kins:

🌟Ask Questions: Most culture is or community blogs are so open to questions about terminology or concepts within the community. Go ask people if you're unsure of something! It's a really good way to form connections & in a community with no official resources, it's best to learn from the people. If they give you bad info, it will almost certainly be corrected by someone in the notes & you can ask multiple blogs/wait for multiple responses to your post to see if answers differ. I am very happy to answer any kin queries people have with any level of complexity - my ask box does not close.

🌟Ignore Discourse: There is so much discourse in kin & related communities about what makes someone valid, which box you fit in, how proper are you at being kin etc etc etc. Ignore it. Learn who you are first, then you can join the debate if you want once you're confident in your own identities & experiences.

🌟Research Kintypes: This doesn't have to be laborious! Therians can look at nature documentaries or read books about their theriotypes. Otherkins have myths, folklore & maybe even urban legends. Or anyone can make a Pinterest board to connect to your kintype visually! Research isn't just so you're knowledgeable, but so you can gain a better understanding of & connection to your identity.

🌟Trust Your Instincts: Kinsidering doesn't have to be super stressful or a massive deep connection. If you are Feeling The Vibe™️, you are probably right! And if you're wrong? There's no problem with that.

🌟Make Friends/Mutuals: Connections are so important in this community. By meeting new people you learn more about others' experiences & also your own. Friends can help you figure yourself out & you can offer the same insight back. Plus mutuals are fun! Connections are fun! Community is fun!

Feel free to add your own advice & share your own experiences in the notes!

For any new kins reading this: ask box is open if you have questions or just want someone to chat to about your ID - doesn't have to be monsterkin related!

🪶 - Are there any motifs, imagery or colours you associate with your divinity?

👑 - Have you found any members of your pantheon(s) in this life?

For the deity ask game :)

- @a-shattered-goddess

Thank you soo much for the ask!!

🪶 - I think the motifs for death & magic are pretty obvious/common so I'll go for slightly more personal ones. For death, dirt is a big one for me, a less-recognised part of the grave imagery you normally see. As an undeadkin it does something for me! For magic, I lean heavily towards playing card imagery since I actually practice cartomancy (and it just looks cool). When it cones to colours, magic is rich purple, the moon is pale, slightly desaturated blue and dead is greyscale to me. I havent decided a colour for my judgement domain yet!

👑 - Yes! @aurorathinas is my definite knowledge deity and @ayaminari is my deity of food/agriculture/industry! We are also frienda with a chaos deity who doesn't use Tumblr. Whilst I have spiritual beliefs about these individuals, I like to consider any divine friends part of my "today pantheon." Why limit myself to past incarnations?

If you're bored, I know you're not super familiar with it, but the character thing for Waylon from Outlast?

perfect considering I'm in the middle of making your Waylon edit right now! lol I think I've probably gathered enough about him to make some loose guesses

Rate them from 0-10 (0 being least favorite, 10 being all time favorite)

SOLID 8 he reminds me of mr Ethan Winters and that's always a good thing. idk if he's as funny in Outlast as Ethan is in RE since he doesn't really speak but I mean c'mon. They should be buddies and hang out at a bowling alley or something

Sexuality HC (whether I kin them or not)

He sorta has pathetic bi vibes?? 🤝🤝 and I mean that in the best way possible since all of my faves have pathetic bi energy as well lol

Gender HC (whether I kin them or not)

Trans Man. need I say more

Fav Moment/Random Trivia

I don't think this really counts as trivia but I find it funny that the asylum is on a mountain called Mount Massive. that's such a funny name for a big hill

Random HC

I think he has a thing for retro video games and especially Nintendo, I would like to imagine him having to look up a walkthrough to the original LoZ game and showing his kids old 2D platformers

Opinion

He’s neat. I mayy be projecting onto him a little bit because I haven’t played Outlast but through the numerous requests I’ve gotten of him he’s been endeared to me. I like him :)

I kin the three antags. *Sits shamefully in a corner*

Villain complex much? Get out of the corner i got ur kin reading finally.

I think you place all of the burden of problems that you shouldn't have to deal with on yourself. Its not yours to carry alone, and whether you're doing it because you think it is yours to deal with or because you think nobody else can, put it the fuck down.

Your self esteem is very odd. I'm sensing a superiority complex, but rather than it compensating for your inferiority complex, both exist at the same time. I mean me too. You simultaneously think you're better than everyone else and are worthless scum that didn't deserve to be born.

I think for you, less blame on yourself and less being shitty to others because you don't think they should get close to you would be good
