1. ) How and when did you realize you were kinning?

ive kinda always related to otherkin and althuman experiences, even from the standpoint of someone outside the community watching those cringe compilations and "takedowns" from like 2016 youtube. dark times. but i adopted the label pretty soon after actually finding some althuman communities myself!

2. ) What was your first kintype?

i wanna say either a fallen angel or a toy poodle, but i don't remember. toy poodle was one of my first therian kintypes specifically! (another was a harlequin rabbit, but that started as just a fursona thing and kinda shifts in and out of being more like a kin thing)

3. ) Favorite memory of when you first started kinning? (If none, tell me one you HOPE happened!!)

the pure euphoria of wearing bunny ears and tails and stuff. particularly i loved and still love this one rainbow wolf tail! and i remember wearing it out in public for the first time and being really self conscious, but some kids around my age stopping me and saying they loved it and being so happy and relieved!!!

4. ) How does you otherkin work? (Reincarnation, Multiverse, etc)

it's kinda an identity incongruence thing. it meshes with my plurality, which meshes with my bpd, which is what the identity incongruence tends to stem from. occasionally it can be a bit spiritual too but that's often just another weird plural bpd thing. my brain is weird! s' just how it is.

5. ) What is your favorite fact about your kintype?

one of my kintypes- fallen angel. "biblically accurate" fallen angel, but not in the way you'd think because i kinda had to write my own biblical lore to explain myself...???? this is where the weird spiritual-but-also-system-related thing comes in because im a pile of sludge. im a puddle of black ooze, and i lurk in corners and bring dread and sorrow to those i seep into, cuz angels like me were once biblical, could be seraphs or cherubs or any other type, but we fell, and we melted, basically. so weird. im the manifestation of the body's dissociation, among other things. im my own being (im nameless, and im writing this), but im also a kintype. it's weird. it's pretty cool.
