Rambles about my dragonite heartlink up ahead

*heartlink - pseudo term I made for myself, basically a linked hearttype

I don’t really feel the desire to continue linking dragonite. I’m a bit sad about it, but there’s not enough compelling factors for me to want the link.

Dragonite still held some meaning for me, but I find it shallow. I know to link I just have to want it, yet I don’t even really care enough to maintain that link.

Perhaps I could just, stop the linking process. But there’s still a tiny bit of regret, or perhaps guilt, wishing that the want had just been a bit stronger. I’d see resemblance between me and dragonite: orange, chonk but speedy, dragon and flying would have been my pokemon typing but…that’s where it stops. It’s always been a surface level of connection. I don’t really see myself as a dragonite. Not that I’m linking a kintype connection, but I don’t even see myself identifying with dragonite. It will probably still be my proxy pokesona, if I bother enough with that route. I’ve had more feelings for Flight Rising dragon species for me to make proxy FR dragons than I do my dragonite heartlink.

Plus, I’ve never been much interested in having a avatar or sona. I’d tried to make a dragonite sona but, it ended up as basically me with dragonite as base, and every feature other than the orange (not even the orange was safe) and physique changed—I’d used pidgeot’s wings (with colors altered), add some mane down the back and change the spike to two long yellow horns, no more whiskers. It barely resembles dragonite. After all, I’ve only seen dragonite for that somewhat visual resemblance to me.

Part of the reason for forming said link was also because I wanted to be with my pokemon alterhuman friends in their communities. And that probably is not a good reason to want to link. It hinges on elements outside oneself, which is contradictory to alterhumanity. It is self discovery first and foremost, the community is there to support and share experiences, solidarity, and guidance if needed, but never decides for you of who or what you are.

The dragonite heartlink is hanging by the thread, never really been on my mind. Perhaps it is time I let go.

so as we all know, i am link from the legend of zelda. pretty sure i'm every incarnation of the hero, though i feel more strongly connected to some lives than others.

all this to say. i think i might also be w(olf) link. like the animal crossing villager.

i. don't know what to think about that.

like putting aside the timeline implications of being yote from hyrule into a village of anthropomorphic animals by the human mayor and their all-powerful ghost friend.

what the fuck.

How To Link

Okay, so I've noticed that some people don't understand setting up links/hyperlinks. So, I've decided to make a short tutorial here.

First, find a post to link to. Let's try this one.

..................................................................................

..................................................................................

Yeah, that looks like a good one. Now, do you see the three dots in the top right corner. [...] Tap that. A menu will pop up.

..................................................................................

..................................................................................

Tap "Copy link". Now the link is copied to your clipboard, and you're halfway done. Now set up to set up your the link to your post. For simplicity, we'll do this one here. Type anything you want.

..................................................................................

CHEESEBURGER FRENCH FRIES

..................................................................................

Highlight the word(s) and select from your tabs the chain-link on the far right.

..................................................................................

..................................................................................

A window will pop up asking you to add a link. Tap the bar above and select "Clipboard". From there, select the link from your original post and place it here. Then tap "Add Link".

..................................................................................

..................................................................................

And you're done!

Now go and begin linking!

Howdy! I hope it’s ok to ask, but could you tell me a bit about what “link” means? /gen q

Hello! It's no worries, I'd love to answer your question, thusly I will :] Do note that I will be mostly talking about my own personal experience with Linking. Everyone's definitions and experiences will vary, so don't be afraid to ask around!

Now then: I've seen the term "Link" have quite a few definitions. When I was introduced to it, I saw it referred to as: "A character you identify with for coping/fun purposes"

Which for some folks, comes off as KFF (Kin For Fun), although it's more complex than that- at least for me.

In my personal experience, I would define "Link" as: "A character you identify with for generally any reason; A character you consider to be yourself, in some manner"

In my personal experience, I tend to fall in and out of Link stages. Many days, I am just my normal self: Cody.

However, on other days, I feel my sense of self shift. While I am still me- I have not blacked out, nor do I feel revolted by the idea of my Cody-self- I don't feel like Cody. I find myself wanting to talk through a character. Usually, as I talk on Discord a lot, I make myself a Tupperbox Bot. I find an image that fits how I feel. I assign it the name I feel, and the pronouns I feel. Here are some of my bots as examples!

(The "[Link {☕}]" on my bots is for moderation purposes in servers, nothing more :]) (Quick image ID just in case, I'm bad at these but I hope I did it right) [ID: Seven Discord screenshots, all featuring messages made using Tupperbox bots. Each bot has the word "Link" and a coffee cup emoji in brackets at the end of their name, denoting that they're bots intended for Link-Shifts. Each bot represents six characters- all Homestuck characters, one character being doubled-up - and each has their own name and pronouns.. The first bot reads "Dualscar / Delfin (Avoid, Namself, Sea-Related). The second bot reads "Jake English!! (Any, Get Funky!). The third bot reads "The Orphaner Dualscar (He/Fin)". The fourth bot reads "Mituna", however his name is spelt using a typing quirk- making the "i" in his name be a "1" instead, doubling up the 1-I, and the "a" at the end being replaced with a "4". In plaintext, his pronouns read "(Any but she/her tbh)". The fifth bot reads "Rufioh Nitram!!", however the "i"s are replaced with "1"s. His pronouns read "(HE/RUF)". The sixth bot reads "CALIBORN", with fancy symbols around the name, his pronouns reading "(ANY/ALL)". The seventh bot reads "twinArgmageddons"- a mispelling of "twinArmageddons"- with his pronouns reading "[HE/IT, ANY]". Each bot has their own message, some with typing quirks and others without. End ID.] As is visible in my screenshots, sometimes I take up typing quirks- as they feel like the proper way for me to talk. Sometimes, I don't. My links can happen for multiple reasons. Sometimes I link due to stress. Sometimes I link because I'm jealous. Other times, my brain simply decides that it's time to link. Also as is visible in my screenshots, I tend to link male/masc characters- it's something due to me not wanting to be viewed in a feminine way online :]

Linking could be mistaken for roleplay, however it's more than that! You feel connected with the character- like you are them in some manner (at least in my experience). Unlike Kinning (at least from my understanding of Kinning), you don't feel completely like the character- you don't feel like a reincarnated version of them, or like the entirety of you is them. You still feel somewhat like yourself during a Link-Shift. Your concept of self just changes, in some manner (Again, at least in MY experience).

I guess as a TL;DR, a good explanation of "linking" is: "Feeling an identity-related connection to a character for reasons that vary from linker to linker."

Hope this helped!! :]

#Ahoy Matey!: answering my inbox #i like talking about my own experiences so im happy to oblige :] #linking #links #also if anyone who is actually good at image IDs wants to improve mine feel free to! /gen

I am drawn to passionate, volatile, destructive characters. The ones who try to fit in, try to be patient with the slow march of progress, try to work within the system and affect change on a small scale. And when none of that works, when they’ve twisted themselves into something unrecognizable, a ghost of who they wanted to be, and it’s still not enough for a world that deliberately chooses not to understand them — then those characters decide to burn it all down in order to start again.

Story becomes truth. The more you repeat it the deeper it etches itself into your flesh. Until it becomes as unbendable as iron.

and so, after some long drive, I had a epiphany

I want to link a archetrope of freedom.

About Me(s)! (And DNI)

(Note, this used to be about Rini the robot dragon, but I’ve since than felt more connected with Spine himself)

Hello! I’m Smams as a ‘base’ identity, or my human identity, but I have many otherlinks and oftentimes feel semi-non-human. In my ‘base’ identity, I use she/her pronouns, and am bodily a minor.

However, I’ll mainly be running this as The Spine, who is one of my ‘links. You might see my non-otherlinked self make appearances as well as my other ‘links, but you’ll mainly see The Spine! The Spine uses he/him pronouns, and is taken from the fictional character from Steam Powered Giraffe, feel free to ask me questions about what I feel as The Spine!

Now, it’s time for the DNI!

And the truth is, I don’t really have one, as long as you respect all good-faith identities (I include endogenic systems in this as well) and are SFW, I don’t mind you being here!

EDIT: CHECK MY LATEST ADDITION BEFORE YOU START SHIT IN THE NOTES, THANKS.

warning for discord users

If you're on the app, immediately go to your dms and then "add friends". After the latest update they allow your contacts to find you and have that option turned on by default, so make sure it's unchecked!

This is very obviously not great for a multitude of reasons, but especially for people in vulnerable positions who do not want people in their contacts to see who they are on discord and/or know they have discord in the first place. I've also tried finding out if this is a thing on desktop but haven't been able to find any mention of it, so either it's not a "feature" (yet) or they've hidden it. Either way, stay safe, and turn off finding friends via contacts!

[ID: three screenshots from the discord app with circles around the buttons to press to get to this "feature". 1: the messages/DM button, 2: the "add friends button", 3: in the add friends page, the "allow contacts to add me" checkbox. /END ID]
