I am. For me, well- as Luteia, I was faehearted. A Devil, a malevolent deity; queen of the realm, of demons, and of the mortal fae who inhabited it.

Had I not been born a demon in the Gray World, had someone else been the devil, I am sure I would have been a mortal fae in the Twice-Lit World.

Fae are very… familiar to me. They’re like the songs you grow up listening to in your father’s truck, and suddenly you hear that song again after twenty-five years. It’s so old, so familiar, that it’s a part of you.

We might have been angels and demons in the Gray World, but we came from the flowers and the flora in the forest, and we were still some type of fae.

While I lean more to the Celtic fae, all fae are still familiar to me. The faery encyclopedias I own describe a new type of fae and my reaction isn’t “Huh, cool, didn’t know about that”, it’s “So that’s what they call them, and that’s where they are.”

My introduction to the fae as a child was Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg by Gail Carson Levine. Hardcover, with all the watercolours. 

I might not be fae in the way I am a demon. I might not have lived as fae. But I have been around them and with their knowledge for as long as I can remember. They say if you live with faeries long enough, you eventually become one yourself. Well, I might not have become a fully-fledged faery, but I’m sure I’m halfway there.

I know I’m not a real faery, like Dana and a good chunk of my followers. But if I tried, I could pass as one, and they’re too familiar to me to not acknowledge that.

Or something. I just woke up and I slept on my wings so everything hurts.

I don’t see why not. I mean, if you identify as A still, then you’re kin of both, but if not, then it’s no different than anything else.

It’s not that unusual, either, especially not with past lives. 

That is a good question and the answer would probably be different depending on who you ask. For me, it’s exactly what it says on the tin: a character that brings you comfort.

Most of mine are longtime favourites or canonmates. And of course, my favourite Pokemon, the unsung heroes of us all. 

I don’t see CCs too often outside of fictionkind circles, and I wonder why that is, because in most fandom circles they’re pretty important as an unnamed concept. (Looking at you, Supernatural, with your Sam girls and Dean girls.)

Hope that helps? A bit?

You’re preaching to the choir here, Bolton. I’m four people, only one of which was not a complete asshole. The other three were pretty awful. All mass murderers, two were charged with treason and were never caught. The other was queen so it was Fine legally but definitely not fine morally. And that’s ignoring all the other shit I’ve done because I just haven’t given enough fucks.

I’m also aiming to become a therapist to help people out through shitty situations and mentalities. A job that I’ve been doing since I was thirteen – this just refines how I go about it and gets me paid.

I’m not the greatest person out there, and I won’t deny my flaws, but hey, I don’t go around tossing slurs and telling people they should be locked up or sterilized for not agreeing with me.

But good luck telling tumblrkin and antis that. Doesn’t matter how long ago it was or how many times you’ve apologized. If you’ve done one (1) bad thing, you’re abusive trash and should kill yourself. At that point, you’re better off blocking them.

Assumptions will be the death of us all, I swear…

[Part 2] The person is STILL ALIVE. I mean… how is someone suppose to be… Bill Gates if Bill Gates is Bill Gates? Kin means to BE that person, character, being. Fictional Characters or people that died over hundreds of years DON’T exists in this world anymore… so someone can be them through astral projection or reincarnation… but with people that are still here in this world it isn’t possible. Factkins like these just can’t be anything than fake. I don’t get how anti-kin can’t see this..

Well, I would assume it works in the same way spiritual godkin of this world (like Zeus or Thor, and not like me) work. It’s a different version from some other version of our realm. Canon divergence and all that. Because from what I hear, the Thor of this world probably is still off doing thundery god things, and someone who’s a Thor incarnate is a Thor from some other version of our realm.

So theoretically, if we accept that logic as true because we can’t prove either way, factkin of people still alive could exist.

But I have seen two legitimate factkin in my entire life (it was one person on anon and another they mentioned), and they refused to come off anon because they were terrified of the hatred. And that’s taking them at their word with zero anecdotal proof. They could have been lying.

What I’m saying here is that while it is theoretically possible, the chances of you meeting a legitimate factkin person is nigh zero. I won’t say they don’t exist because we don’t know for sure that they don’t. But your chances of meeting one are so close to zero that it’s not a stretch to say they don’t exist.

Factkin as a term was created by antis / trolls (let’s be honest, they’re the same). So largely, everything about factkin is bullshit, and should be treated as such. If you are coming across someone who insists they’re Hitler, well, cross them off as edgier than a broken windowpane and not all that far off from the neo-nazi who broke it.

So that’s how it mostly ends up being. They probably do exist, but nobody is going to fault you for being incredibly skeptical. That’s all.

You’re in the same boat as my brother and a whole lot of other people. I’ve heard of future-lives-kin so often I’m pretty sure we call it fatedkin. If you identify as the thing, nonphysically + involuntarily, you’re fine.

Doesn’t gotta be past lives.

So they are. Hm. Deleted that; as a transguy I don’t support radfems. Found them through the otherkin tag so I’ll keep an eye out for them next time.

Thanks for letting me know, anon.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, angels are still luxury KFC to me. :p But so long as we’re all stuck in the same boat of ‘human and not supposed to be’, I’ll stand up for everyone. Elder gods know I’d just start a fistfight if this happened offline.

So it’s not a problem, anon. I keep out of angelkin-specific discourse (not my place), but so long as the rest of us get dragged into it, I’ll stand up for all of us.

Right, I forgot that Yong Soo’s good with Hetalia. (I’m not very familiar with his canons, but Hetalia is one of them.)
