my kins are all related in an incomprehensible way btw

being a unicorn is related to being a fairy is related to being a hobbit is related to being a mouse is related to being a bunny is related to being a puppy

are they related because they all make up me? who knows, not me!

Divinity

What is the divine?

Honestly, I'm not too certain. It feels like I'm talking about different thing when I speak of it in English than if I speak it in Chinese or understand it in a Japanese context. Or just my lack of context. I grew up with Asian culture, after all.

That's probably something to write about for another time.

The idea of spiritual creature, youkai and the like, or the idea of asian dragons who are occasionally some sort of divine, that does resonate with me on some level. Specifically my various draconic identities.

If I say my various non-draconic type (except Mew) are "down to earth", because they are, literally, my draconic types are "up in the sky". Well, I tried to make word parallel.

My kardiatype, the Japanese ocean dragon was a local guardian, hailed as a guardian, a deity, a divine entity. It's this sense of, grandness, but also protectiveness, sense of great responsibility, which arguably can probably just be regular "being a guardian" thing. The sense of awe and reverence towards my kardiatype is a interesting one. Noemata tells me that's how the villager treats him. But I myself feel like that towards him too.

Aurelion Sol exudes immense power. Awe inspiring and a literal cosmic being, one of the very synonym with divinity. There isn't much to say about this vaguetype.

Flammie can be seen as a divine beast of sort. On the Wiki of Mana, Flammie is described as

shy, though otherwise joyful and friendly creatures. They sometimes are special creatures created by the Mana Goddess or Tree to help protect the world, and other times just a normal, if somewhat rare, creature.

- From Flammie, Wiki of Mana

It really draw a connection, a resonance, with what Mew paratrope is for me. Perhaps there's a more complete way I can call these common theme?

My own sense of divinity is a bit tricky to say. Would I call myself deific? Hard to say. It's going back to the whole "RPG monster" thing. I'm a sort of spiritual entity. I would categorize myself as celestial being but not quite. I mean, I am embodiment of dream in a way. Or more like those river that took the form of a dragon or serpent? I'm not sure. Morikai (my kardiatype) was definitely the other way around, a dragon first and then tied to the element which he governs. I think I am so too, a dragon before a dreamling. Calling myself using words like "deity" "kami" "youkai" are all incorrect. Once again I'm looking towards my paratrope with Mew, the mythical category of pokemon. That's my sort of divinity, mythical, folkloric. I do utilize the label folcintera for myself.

Side note a bit, some folks dislike being referred to as entity or being. I think I like being called that way due to my own relation with my own form of divinity. Just like how I see myself as a category: monster, instead of as a animal, because I am not a animal.

I know that figuring out what you “look like” isn’t really a priority for any Alter-human, but I am curious What was yall’s processes to figuring out your bodyshape(s)? Sketching out a concept, looking at nature, watching/reading/listening to stuff from your canon? Let me read about everyone’s amazing journeys ^^

Kleptidal Pride Flag

A neuro ideinity for people with Kleptomania, who steal genders, sexualitys, orientations, attractions, persona's, names, ocs. While they wouldn’t necessarily identify with without Kleptomania, they do want to identify with it out of a compulsion to steal. Even though they know it’s wrong, they might privately or outwardly steal Identites that they don’t actually have the ability to identify with- for example, neurogenders that they don’t have access to, cultural specific genders that they can’t really id with, etc.

Originally called klepto ideinity by Tumblr user otherkin-purple. Submitted to us by a follower who wishes to remain anonymous. Kleptid was coined by Unã, as it's a form of manifestation as extrapersonhood, extrapeoplekind, and extrapersonality in one's and/or multiples' self-identification(s) (ID/s). -Ap

I can't tell if I'm experiencing signs of being part of a system or not. I kin a character and sometimes when songs come on that "he likes" I end up... "my" thoughts get quieter. Sometimes I don't remember what happens after that. I also have thoughts from his perspective a lot, especially when something sort of relates to him or is similar? I do have trauma and experience disassociation. (I know this is an endo blog but I feel like considering the circumstances it's important)

It’s fine to ask! We know about kin stuff as well. It sounds like it could be a shift (if you’re familiar with mental shifting as it is used in the community, it is when your mentality or thinking changes to that of your kintype) but the lack of memory for some of these things could be concerning and hint at further plurality, particularly OSDD-1. Since you mentioned you have trauma and experience dissociation, I would err on the side of caution and assume something dissociative, either plurality or a shift. With a shift there’s usually this knowledge that despite the change it’s still you, just a different facet of you, whereas with plurality whatever’s taking control is not you, even if they may feel like part of you or as if they’re tied to you.

You could do more research into what kin shifts are like for those who experience them in a dissociative fashion, and compare them to those in plural systems (particularly medians and OSDD-1a systems) and see which one fits you better. They can look similar but each has their differences. 

Hopefully this helps!
