shout out to opossumkin therians! just in general, we don't have much positivity posts for us yk?
Actually, love all you obscure kintype having folk! Opossums, bats, BUGS and arachnids, snails, any animal deemed "gross" or "pests" by society. Herbivores and prey, you guys are awesome too! Scavengers are also vital to the ecosystem and super cool.
Also, here's some things I've thought of for kintype connection tips for scavenger animals and insectivores:
- Go to thrift stores and pick out some clothes you like! They are usually cheap, and, it's pretty much just like scavenging!
- You can turn old clothes into fun DIY projects as well, if something dosnt fit you can cut it up and use it for patches on other clothes that are worn and torn up or you can use them as cleaning rags.
- If you feel up to it (and especially if your kintype is an insectivore), some stores sell bugs you can eat. I like the dried meal worms! I've seen them come in cheddar cheese and BBQ flavors :3
- if you don't wanna eat real bugs, there's gummy worms and gushers if you want something chewy and if you want a good crunch there's chips or pretzels!
- Since it can be hard to find gear for your kintype specifically, I suggest thinking about normal clothes you wear on the day to day and what you find is kintype affirming (maybe even post about it! let us know!). For example, I'm opossumkin and I've found fingerless gloves give me species euphoria since it makes my hands look like opossum ones! Get creative with what you wear and you may find that simple additions to your outfits can make a difference in how you feel.
That's all I can think of, if you want put in the tags/reblogs/comments what things affirm YOUR obscure kintype and maybe you'll help out someone else too :3
