Otherkin
14 years ago
Otherkin... a delicate topic. Is it just phantasy? Is it like... religious fanaticism? Or is it perhaps...
...true?
Now let's say it's true. There are humans with a dragon, raptor, wolf or whatever soul. Otherkins.
But how about the other way round? There are anthro furries, as we all know, so why shouldn't something like "humankins" exist among them? If my anthro rock python Greer suddenly tells me "Hey, RL player! I think I do have a human soul..." Heck, he has a humanoid body after all! Arms, legs, hands, feet!
Would that mean he ALSO is an otherkin? I think so. A human is NOT a reptile, so Greer must be an OTHER-kin.
The question I have... who, da fuck, is a REAL otherkin now? A human believing to have the soul of a *insert user-defined species*, or a *again insert user-defined species* believing to have the soul of a human?
Know what I mean? Let's imagine you meet a good RL buddy of yours and Greer, the anthro rock python. Both are telling you "I'm otherkin!".
Into whose face would you say "Ah, no, you're NOT otherkin"? *forget about Greer perhaps strangling/footsmothering/choking you out for that, really, just don't think about it* WHO is the TRUE otherkin, who the FALSE one?
And if someone could also tell me why the heck I made this journal... I'd be glad to know. :P

Du bist halt angehender Doktor für abgelatschtes Schuhwerk.
Jaaa, aber ich mache mir auch Sorgen um Greer. Wer sich für einen Kin hält spinnt, hat kein Selbstvertrauen und ist höchst verdächtig!;)
He said they taste like Walmart, Fubu, S. Oliver, Nike... depending on their clothes which he also had to swallow.:P
