Fictionlink - Tumblr Posts

any advice or personal experience is greatly appreciated!! :3

also i don’t think i’m actually otherlink? i misunderstood what it meant and for me whatever it is definitely isn’t a choice. like when i first got into fnaf a year ago and learned about springtrap i was overwhelmed by that same feeling i got about my theriotype, just in a different way. like “this guy gets it!” but instead of feeling like i *was* him, it was more like a strong familial bond or like a deep friendship.

it was because of really personal mental illness/dissociation stuff but tbf my therianism is also due to trauma so (i know not every therian is “born this way”/there are purely psychological therians and i’m sure the same applies to otherkin too! lmk if i’m wrong)

but like. this video Changed me ok. i watched this and i was like “i relate to this a normal amount in a normal way and this man is NOT my found family” (foaming at the mouth)

but like. is there a term for it? i thought otherlink was just like otherkin in that it’s not a choice, but instead of being the thing you’re just connected to it in some way, but i realized it *is* a choice, like copinglink. obviously i didn’t choose this, so is there a term for what i’ve experienced, and is it like this for anyone else? i’m curious

(and apologies for accidentally misusing the term! i’ll be sure to be more diligent from now on 😭)

:33 < cann we stop labelling things under 1 label ? therianoprathy, otherkinnity, alterhumanity, sexuality, gender, all. shoving things into little boxes will always end up excluding someone. labels shouldnt be such a serious and rigid thing. if it fits, it fits. no one should be concerned how someone else chooses to identify. its their choice. if their experience isnt the same to yours, it doesnt make it invalid.

B33 < this post is specifically being positive towards mspec monos, lesboys and turigirls, and physical alterhumans/mentally ill alterhumans/alterhumans with a different experience to the "usual" one. i suggest youdo not reblog if youdont support those.

:33 < its ok noot to know where your f/os are from !! its ok not to know where your kintypes are from !! its ok to like a character without ever knowing the media its from !! its ok to know characters media and kin/date/like them without ever caring or wanting to indulge in the media !! its ok to hate the characters media !! its ok to be you forever and ever and ever and ever as long as youdont hurt anyone !!!! :3c

otherlink are just as real as otherkin and therians. it doesnt matter if your identity is voluntary or involuntary. one isnt superior or inferior to the other.

stop thinking of voluntary identities as fake, less valid/real, less 'worthy', or inferior.

stop thinking of involuntary identities as more valid/real, more 'worthy', or superior.

we are siblings, not strangers. not enemies. not opposites

hello all. im curious if theres a term for physically identifying [human] 'kin/link. there are terms like transspecies and/or holothere for physically identifying nonhumans, but what about the human identities under the alterhuman umbrella?

im aware of PAI, which could work, but im more curious about a specific term. let me know if anyone is aware of one, or if theres even a desire such a label. especially something that isnt inherently delusion-related. [nothing wrong with delusion-related alterhuman identities, of course]

not necessarily my own experience, just curious.

Okay so hi alterhuman tumblr! I wanted to make a post about something, and I had talked about it on a server. I don’t feel like retyping the post, and I used an anonymous bot to post it.

So I wanted to go more into detail as my og post on the server wasn’t really as in depth as I could have it.

So what do I mean when I say I am them but I don’t like the fictionkin label?

I mean I do believe in a sense at I am them, one of these characters I have had memories of. I act like them, and I feel so comfortable being referred to as them. Like I am them, but they’re not me.

I act like these characters, and I genuinely feel more comfortable being referred to as them in the same way I like being referred to as my kins.

I do believe that like I am at least one of them. The other one I’m still on the fence about, as he’s immortal multiple times over and has no mortality left so he can’t die. I know for at least him, it’s not a past life situation and maybe more of an alternative universe thing.

But like I’m not comfortable with calling them my fictionkins. I don’t fully fully believe I am them, and fictionkin feels wrong. Otherkin doesn’t, and definitely feels more right.

Fictionheart/Otherheart doesn’t feel right either, but I just trying to figure out which label is correct at the moment.
