This word can be used in regard to theriform entities and is not limited to only otherkin and therians. Its purpose is to be an inclusive term to describe a familial or friendly relationship between a group of entities regardless of identity.

The original intent of this term is, however, to describe a group of alterhumans of various species and types.

This can also be used to represent a group of one type of beings if each believes they enjoy the term. Especially if they are a species that is typically solitary but still have really close relationships with others. Or between a theriform entity and an alterhuman entity.

Use this term however you wish to interpret it ♡

Thinking about starting to use the term otherbonded instead of otherkin or therian because I like the ambiguity that comes with it. Otherhearted is similar, but otherbonded is like on a completely different playing field.

Like, “I’m omnibound/omnibonded.” instead of “I’m omnikin/omnihearted.”
