do u have DID?

that's a very.. straightforward question..

I sure hope you're not going around asking people questions about their conditions without making sure it's okay first..

Buttt uh, no I do not!!

I'm assuming you're asking because of my posts in third person and such...

Those are because there are times I feel a stronger connection to my Fictionlinks (Broad term for otherlinks formed with fictional beings) and Paroulinks (Formed as coping mechanisms or disconnections from humanity) and so I feel more comfortable posting in third person speaking as those links at those times!! (ex; Sparkle HSR)

I hope that clears up your confusion, and I hope you don't just ask people questions like that out of nowhere. It's important to check for consent to ask those questions first!

Paroulink flag

Paroulink defintion: "Identifying with nonhuman traits, creatures, or fictional characters (in)voluntarily, either as a way to cope or as a way to express your disconnect/detachment from humanity; A specific form of otherlink + copinglink."

Paroulink was coined by vaguetypes! I only made the flag.

hello! what is the difference between otherkin and otherlink? i’ve seen both terms around and im a bit confused. thank you!

Hi! 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼

The word otherkin has three definitions:

The old term for alter/nonhumans

The term that groups together identities where one involuntarily identifies as someone or something.

A being who involuntarily identifies as an imaginary creature usually on the non-physical plane (although rarer, physical otherkins do exist)

The most used and correct definition is otherkin in the sense of unintentionally identifying as an imaginary creature, as the first definition is almost no longer used and the second can be replaced by "kin identity" to avoid confusion.

A otherlink is a being who voluntarily identifies as someone or something for some reason non physicaly.

Not counting the old definition of otherkin, the main difference between otherkinty and otherlinkty is that otherkin identity is involuntary and otherlink identity is voluntary :3

Despite this difference, both identities are equally valid and true, of course!

Extra info :

There are several subcategories of otherlinks, here are some of them:

A copinglink choose to identify as something or someone to cope with a difficult time in one's life.

A funlink chooses to identify as something or someone for fun.

A paroulink chooses to identify as something or someone because of a disconnection from humanity.

The term otherkin can be written/said otherkind!
