@ other people who use both ‘-hearted’ and ‘synpath’ terminology for themselves: what’s the difference for you?

-hearted is for the things you’d classify under therian / otherkin, synpath is for characters and entities instead of concepts / species / whathaveyou. It’s a linguistic thing. Foxhearted sounds all right, but Harry-Potter-hearted Does Not, so thus Harry Potter would be a synpath.

Functionally they’re synonyms, but it’s more a linguistic difference than a functional / definition-relating one.

I like this. I’ve been struggling with the distinctions myself. But this works so well.

Hey, don’t take how I read the definition as fact until you’ve looked it up yourself and if you’ve come to the same conclusion. I don’t remember the last time I actually looked up the definition of synpath, so I mighta gotten it a little warped over time.
