It's easy! Just reblog/comment on this post either 1) offering one of more obscure fandoms to give kin assignments to or 2) ask for someone to assign you a kin! The only rules are keep the sources obscure (see pinned post for more details) and have fun!
It might help to include various information about yourself such as: interests, hobbies, favorite things, personality traits, and other kintypes!
Btw I'm also participating in this, so feel free to ask me for a kintype from my obscure sources, or throw one of your own kinsigns on me
This is an all-inclusive blog dedicated to all things obscure kin! A handful of my kins are from very obscure sources and/or are obscure characters, and I wanted yet another place for me and others with obscure kins. Anything and everything related to kin obscurity is welcome here!
Yes, this blog is all-inclusive. I'm not interested in drama or discourse of any kind. This isn't a personal blog, this is meant to be a safe space and a resource for others. I won't gatekeep that.

FAQ
"But Obskinurity, I don't know if my 'type counts as obscure!" Yes yes I know "obscure" can be vague and subjective, so it's a pretty flexible term on this blog! It can mean the source is obscure, the character is obscure, other fictionfolk are hard to come by, you're from a specific timeline/canon divergence/AU that you can't find other fictionfolk from, etc. I'm not gonna to draw a line in the sand for what is obscure and what isn't, if you feel like you're obscure, you're welcome here!
"But Obskinurity, my obscure kintype is from a popular parent source!" Situations such as this are up for debate. For example, Fragaria Memories can be considered an obscure source because the main characters are exclusive to the series, despite Sanrio being it's parent series. Generally, use your own judgement, and feel free to send an ask so I can make a poll for others to weigh in on it!
"But Obskinurity, I'm a fictive/IRL/etc, can I send asks?" I use the term kin because I fw it so hard but you don't have to specifically be a kin to be here! If you're any sort of alterhuman, this is a place for you! However, you must inform me how you want your asks tagged (like "please tag with fictive" or "don't use kin tags I'm an IRL" or whatever, okay?)
Also my DMs are open to anyone that isn't creepy, I'm always happy to be friends (especially with sourcemates).
My own 'types under the cut if anyone's curious!
My (mildly to extremely) obscure 'types:
note: ones bolded/with a * are more important to me/I'm still into the media
Gil (Bubble Guppies)
Monstro & Elliot (Alice Card Episode)
Hella & Luvia Ray (Path to Nowhere)
Ayn Alwyn (Lovebrush Chronicles)
Subaru Kagami & Jiro Kirisaki (Tokyo Debunker)
Eugenides (The Queen's Thief)
Megan Bloomfield & Graham Eaton (But I'm a Cheerleader)
It's so silly to me that this blog has turned into an "obscure kin culture is x" with all of the asks I've been getting that start that way. Funny enough, I almost made this blog specifically like that, buuuuut I don't like rules and restrictions. And yet, it ended up this way anyways. Asks can still be formatted in any way, don't feel pressured to hop on this lil trend if you don't want to
I was going to say something but I got distracted by the fact that you're sourcemate. I forgot what I wanted to say. Hi sourcemate. waves

Wow, I didn't actually expect any Insectarium sourcemates! No one even talks about the game...what a small world we live in. It's so cool to meet you (again).
Also damn we really gotta update the obscure list- we've got Matthew too
This blog gained a lot more traction than expected! Should I start doing something fun, like polls or kin questions or anything else, or should it just stay the way it is?
fictives are welcome! kin is just a term I vibe with (and obsfictiveurity doesn't have the same ring to it). anyone who falls under the wide scope of alterhuman in some form, whether you personally use the term or not, is welcome. just be obscure and be silly!
at this rate I might make an faq section in the pinned post-
@popcorncanine I am not responding to your infodump publicly because I want to always have an easy place to see it (the inbox lol) but um. wow. that was a lot. THANK YOU
