Cringe culture is dead and I'm playing Just Dance over its grave

A blog for Just Dance fictionkin and fictives.

About this blog

This is a fictionkin blog focused on Just Dance!

From fictionkin.org:

"Fictionkin are people who believe that they involuntarily and immutably share the identity and ‘self’ of a fictional character. They believe that they are that character in some particular way."

In other words, being kin is not a joke or a game - asks from people who ONLY call themselves kin for fun or for relatability will be thrown out (although I do know people who do both, in which case you're fine!)

For fictionkin:

* Feel free to send in any kin related questions! I'm happy to help.

* You can also send in Just Dance related kin confessions or any other Just Dance kin related thoughts!

For fictives:

* While I'm fully supportive of fictives, I am a singlet, so I can't answer most questions about fictives.

* You're still free to send in confessions/thoughts/etc., and I'm more than happy to help you share your experience as a fictive.

For non-kin:

* Feel free to like and reblog, just don't talk over kins/fictives.

* You can ask questions, but anything hateful or thinly veiled hate will get ignored.

In addition to confessions and answering questions, I'm also willing to provide stimboards, moodboards, self care packs, and pride flag edits.

Please don't follow if you're under 18 - this blog can be really heavy at times. Not nsfw, just heavy and vent-y. Yes, I check. Yes, I will softblock anyone who is not 18+. No, there are no exceptions.

i have a question for the fictionkin here, do you like to be called by your kintypes name? i’m sure that this is different for fictives, but you guys can answer too :)

[whenjustdancehitsdifferent]

Seems like there's already a few answers here so I'd like to add, one time a friendly stranger asked me for my name and I briefly considered whether to give her a (subtle, not obviously fictional in origin) kin name of mine knowing I'd never see her again, ultimately decided to give her my real name but

Obviously she didn't know that so all she saw was me freeze up and have to think for a moment when telling someone what my name was

So that was great

"About that..."

I had a more emotional personal ramble typed up, but I couldn't bring myself to post it publicly, so...

Here's some recognition to any fictionkin having a tough Valentine's Day today, missing the lovers they had in their timeline(s) dearly. No, it's not weird that you still love them, it's normal. As much as it hurts, in many cases it's a sign that the relationship you had was wonderful, and that's something to be proud of.

Sincerely, someone who broke down crying trying to write a Valentine's Day oneshot because I miss my wife, Tails! /ref

Whenever I see a pro endo who's anti alterhuman or an alterhuman who's anti endo it always reminds me of this

Things people hate hearing:

You are capable of harm

You have some level of power and agency

Ergo it is your responsibility to communicate your needs and boundaries

If you lie to someone about something being okay when it isn't, that is on you

Something being a trauma response doesn't exempt it from harming your relationships and the other people in them

Enabling your trauma responses will not make them go away, and it is your responsibility to work on yourself for your own wellbeing as well as the people around you

Being A Victim cannot be a pillar of your identity forever, and being victimized does not make you incapable of harming other people (see above)

You are not a mouse in a jean jacket you are an eel with a gun / adult human being who can use your words even if it's Scary

Having a personality disorder doesn't make you evil but you have got to get off of Personality Disorder Tumblr (see above, re: enabling)

[tlirsgender]

Deep sigh. You want me to ~be compassionate~ here's the compassionate answer: your trauma will tell you you're a helpless child forever and you need to Not Think This Way for yourself (living under the assumption you're still in danger whether you actually are or not) and everyone else who has to tiptoe around your Sensitivity. That's how you break the cycle and you can only do this by accepting responsibility for your actions. And it seems like a small semantic thing but imo step one is calling yourself a survivor instead of a victim. Self identifying with your victimhood helps No One. You lived, now get up

[whenjustdancehitsdifferent]

I kin a character from a medical drama and I'd say it's a little more than one universe to the left because fym the doctor who keeps popping vicodin isn't in jail yet /lh

[whenjustdancehitsdifferent]

I would like to give the unfortunate update that I now have a kintype from a second medical drama that's even stupider than the last one

[werewiire]

my therapist: “you need to unlearn the belief that failing to completely explain every statement you make will cause people to misinterpret and hate you. that’s generally not how people think, and it’s just your OCD talking.”

It's hard to say this without sounding like a right wing dickhead, but the thing about progressive spaces is that they may naturally attract people who are always on the lookout for excuses to start a fight. Like you can find yourself faced with someone whose political outrage is totally justified, and whose humanitarian ideals are right on the money, but simultaneously they are carrying a ton of psychological baggage about being wronged and getting revenge, and they will exploit literally any opportunity to live out this psychodrama with anyone in their line of vision. I have thought of several related anecdotes since I started typing this post, but I'll limit myself to the thing that inspired it, which is that I just visited this ultra-lefty cafe/bike shop/community gathering space where I've heard that the proprietor is constantly in a fight with everyone around her. When I paid for my stuff I noticed that there was no tip option, but I thought I had heard something about this, so I snuck away to look at the website and it made me really glad I didn't ask! I think there should have been a really enticing and exciting way for her to say "I've decided to be the change I want to see in the world, so I'm paying my baristas a full living wage, I'm making sure EVERYONE feels welcome and comfortable here, and I'm selling products I believe in!" -- but instead all the web copy sounded more like "You're either with me or against me, you're a fucking piece of shit asshole if you can't handle the inclusive atmosphere here, and by the way tipping is for fascist cavemen and if you ever try to tip someone you are refusing to relate to them authentically and you are enforcing a dangerous and evil power dynamic that should be purged from human society (so therefore I pay my staff well)." Like everything she stood for was totally agreeable, but why did she have to put it like it was directed at her worst enemy, rather than at the kinds of people she wants to attract? If the word on the street is to be believed, the reason for this posturing is that she spends quite a lot of energy making as many enemies as possible, and she probably likes it that way. I guess I'm just reminding myself, and perhaps others, that while one might think of "politics" as being broadly social and theoretical, no individual can fully separate the political from the intimately personal. Even somebody who seems to want to uplift and protect their fellow humans may be getting some perverse inner satisfaction out of that valiant crusade, and you may never realize it until you find yourself in a confusing fight with them.

Party Mode looks fun for someone but I would definitely be limited in the number of maps I would be able to tolerate with those effects (even with the Party Mode UI still over it)

For example

I can handle the routine just fine normally but if I was playing A Queda and saw the colors suddenly invert while my mind was already wandering, I think I would start crying. and then look behind me. and then check the locks. in that order.
