I’m already noticing that this community is becoming increasingly saturated with both children and adults who put “spiritual kin” in quotation marks, as if Otherkin/Kinning didn’t originate as a Neo-pagan belief. Over time, that origin has been diluted and reframed into a hobby or simply having a strong relationship to a character, animal, or concept, something that in most other contexts would be received as immensely disrespectful or dismissive of a religious or spiritual practice.

The spiritual concept of Kin along with its original meaning has effectively been pushed out of its own space by Tumblr users and hobbyists. This mirrors what’s now happening with Miscefolk, which is being reinterpreted and reshaped into “Misceverse” by a similar demographic. In both cases, the terms are drifting away from their original intent and audience, displacing the people they were created to represent. We’ve already seen this happen with Kin or Spiritual Kin, which is now often referenced in a derogatory or trivializing way. It’s disheartening to watch the same pattern repeat with Miscefolk versus Misceverse terminology.

I am not afraid to say I think many people have either misunderstood or deliberately misinterpreted the original coiner of #Miscefolk ‘s post, reducing it to scare monger claims that “they just hate alterhumans, therians, kinnies, or systems.” From personal experience interacting with them on more than one occasion I know this is completely misplaced slander.

The term Miscefolk (along with related terms like miscecanis and misceanimalis) was coined to describe people who still identify as human but experience strong, involuntary Non Human Earth-animal instincts that mirror the Omegaverse.

The use of “-verse,” shorthand for “universe” or “AU” (alternate universe), comes from fictional writing and roleplay spaces. Applying that language to Misce makes it sound like a fictional genre, or something tied to constructed narratives, faux memories of alters/parts of DIDOSDD systems, or past lives of Kin individuals. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with those frameworks using them in misapplication can overshadow and confuse the experiences of Misce+ individuals who are describing this present universe and lived realities of people who do not choose these behaviors or identities as a hobby.

If you’re looking for a broader term to describe Misce alignments and species considered fictional or originating from mythology or folklore you may find this post helpful, I’d encourage others exploring those.

My intention here isn’t to start conflict just to share an observation. As an adult, I’m not interested in engaging in drama or arguing with minors. This isn’t meant in bad faith; it’s simply a perspective based on what I’ve been seeing.

I hate my dramatic emotions >:(

I had a fun time making Nightmare’s office, this isn’t official, but I also had a lot of fun designing his office chair. Something that always bothered me is how does Nightmare sit comfortably in a chair with the tentacles in the way. If you have ever tried to lay down on your back with a ponytail on the back of your head, I imagine it would be something similar so I designed a chair that has openings on the back for his tentacles to poke through. I tried to fill his office with trinkets that he might have, maybe gifts from family members, souvenirs from business trips, stuff like that.

I’ve seen a few whitepine theories by now, and the ones that have stuck with me the most were two specifically:

1) the thing that killed Mysti was “the monster” that lives in the forest. The person who had this theory went on to explain that the one true moment where we feel fear in the first episode was when ivory was looking at the forest. Right after that scene, we have a shot of the stairs (where Mysti was found). Foreshadowing goes harddd

2) someone on this app (I forgot your username, sorry!) said that we weren’t looking for a killer, but more specifically for the plant hemlock. It is also explained that said plant can kill someone with painful skin marks, etc. The person stated that when Ivory is being introduced to the maids and butlers, there’s a shot of Mysti eating (she could be eating a hemlock plant, and that was what caused her death)

I honestly think the story could go in many directions, but it’s hard for me to believe we’re looking for a specific person to be the killer. What do we think???
