#but otherkinity has never had a corollary because historically we haven’t been as focused on shifting

[a-dragons-journal]

Hi. I was wondering if there was a label for when you're kin fluid? Like, you feel human but you also feel like the thing/character/etc you are 'kin with?

Otherkin is indeed the word; there’s nothing about otherkinity that says you can’t also be human (many if not most of us are, myself included), and experiencing a “sliding scale” of that is also extremely common (again, same hat). As far as I know there’s no specific word for it, simply because there hasn’t needed to be.

#otherkin #contherian and suntherian are both words the therian community uses to describe the latter (more or less) #(there’s a subtle difference between them but I can never remember which is which so) #but otherkinity has never had a corollary because historically we haven’t been as focused on shifting #and thus never needed them #rani talks #asked and answered #anonymous
