"Spiritual" Otherkinity

Some people think "oh, spiritual otherkin is just past life based otherkinity" WRONG.

These people forgot that there are otherkin with parallel life origin, and then there are those with future lives origin.

Then there's me and others like me, concurrent life, a sort of metaphysical/spiritual type of origin where it isn't "other lives" based origin, but it is happening right now. Maybe it is an astral body thing, maybe it is more like psychological otherkin. (Which, shoutout to the psychological otherkind out there, y'all are valid af), or maybe a sort of other spirit coming to a merging with the core. Whatever the cause, we feel that it is right here, right now.

And we are spiritual based without a past life attached to it.

For most of my life I've had what I call my "Inner Me", a being who has gone on many adventures, talked to many people and saved their reality itself countless times while my physical body has developed and grown. They've grown and changed parallel to me, having their own life while I've had mine. We have learned from each others' experiences and love the people in each others' lives. We talk to each other, mostly indirectly, to the point I feel like I know near everything about them. 1/?

I'm just gonna go ahead and say straight-up: I cannot answer this for you. Nobody can answer this for you but you, unfortunately, and I know how much that sucks when you really don't know how to go forward, but it's true. I can try to give some advice on how to figure it out, but the experiences overlap enough that sometimes it's just so hard to tell as to be impossible to tell from anyone's perspective but yours, and sometimes it really does come down to picking what feels best to you/the two of you and going from there.

The best advice I can give:

My best attempt at a read on the situation: The self-image incongruence makes me lean toward parallel life kintype, as does the bleedthrough of selfness, but on the flipside the fact that you communicate with each other - even mostly indirectly - makes me lean toward some form of plurality, since that's not a typical experience with kintypes. I am aware this is thoroughly unhelpful as a tiebreaker, sorry.

If you haven't already, ask them. My experience with me-not-me thoughtforms is somewhat different (that being my daemon), but he's got a better instinctive grasp on his exact nature than I do. Talk about this with your Inner You, if you haven't already, and get their opinions - if they answer "are we the same person" with "no," you've pretty well got your answer. Even if they don't have a clear answer for you, the dialogue may help y'all figure things out. (And, again, I'll point out that if you can get a clear dialogue, that's a pretty strong point in favor of some form of plurality.)

I feel like these two things are... not mutually exclusive, tbh. I believe @dinocanid has spoken about having kintypes who are also headmates (or vice versa, however you want to look at it) before, though I could be misremembering?

I hate to bring this up as another possibility, but the sentences "they have always felt like they're the MORE REAL Me than the one on this reality. Like, I have a physical body, I can feel things with it and I've gone through stuff, but other than that? I feel like the rest of me is more existent in my Inner Me's reality," especially in combination with your Inner You being a hero figure in their world, makes me want to bring up MADD, Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder, as something you may want to look into. It only needs to be a concern if this is negatively impacting your life, which I don't know if it is from that phrase, but - if it is, then something to keep in mind.

#otherkin #fictionkin #parallel life #plurality #plural system #i'm sorry anon the gray-area edge cases are always gonna be a trip to figure out and there is a limited amount anyone can do about that #rani talks #asked and answered #anonymous

I finished the spread page last night on stream. I like the second page more but it’s okay, it’s a learning process! ^u^

Tumblr’s probably gonna butcher the quality so here’s the individual scans:

A journal spread I did about my past life as the Maid of Mensis on Tumblr live last night.

The text is hard to read (tho that’s mostly intentional) so here’s a trascript:

Today I was stricken by a past life, the Maid of Mensis I was. Maid of the School, tender of wounds and tangled ties, mangled and wrangled by cutting words and broken hearts. I tended to many a heart but the one who mended my heart was none other than the Lady herself. I... was not just a servant of Mensis... I was her handmaid. Loyal to the princess, yes I was. Evelyn was her Knight but I was her Handmaid. Handmaid to the princess, what love and tenderness must there have been, to spend morning till dusk server her as her assistand and confidant in her studies and lessons into the wee hours of the night. OH how I yearn for such a life again!

Writing It Doesn't Matter

Rrrrrffff...

I'm trying to start writing It Doesn't Matter again, finally. I really, really miss feeling connected with my real self, and writing and working on It Doesn't Matter is one of the ways I use to immerse myself in it. Writing and drawing help me, to various extents, put aside my human life and body for awhile and just be myself.

So I read back through the last zone I finished and the current zone I'm working on and started scratching at the current zone. It's hard to not get into my own way.

It Doesn't Matter is a way of telling/chronicling/recording my parallel life. But writing it is walking a razor sometimes. Because some parts are like telling my memories. Some are like summarizing things that happened. Some are things I'm experiencing as I write. And some are just writing.

So it trips me up. I start to ask myself if I'm lying, or being disingenuous with how I'm approaching it. I tell myself, "This is my life," and then feel myself making choices as a writer.

It sucks and it's hard.

The part that I'm at in my writing is one I'm not really sure of how it went. I know or experienced stuff that happens later. But my understanding of this particular part is, "Eggman attack, we won." But even though that's fine for my own personal recollection, it doesn't work for the storytelling I'm doing. When I close my eyes and focus, I just get the impression of heat, and smoke, sweat, stress, and fire. The hard clinch in my guts as I dig in, and push through, and figure out this seemingly impossible situation, and refuse to give up. That's the important part for me to take away.

But I'm writing it into the story, and this is one of the first Eggman attacks with us back in our real forms, and we were learning our powers, and dealing with all this garbage, and it's An Important Part of the Story. -_- But I really have no idea how it happened. So now I gotta make this shit up! Which again, feels so fuckin' weird.

So, spoilers going forward, I guess, for It Doesn't Matter, my big, stupid Sonic animation project and also my telling of my parallel life.

The Eggman attack I'm on is, again, one of his early ones--all of our powers have only recently come back, myself, Tails, and Knuckles have only recently transformed back into our real selves. So it's a very, very low rent version of an Eggman plan. It's literally a scaled up version of the old bratty kid burning ants with a magnifying glass. ^;; James Bond Die Another Day did it with Project Icarus. ^^;; Again, I'm going off vibes here, I don't know if this is literally actually what happened. But it's the aesthetic/how it all feels.

I do genuinely believe that the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (and arguably the Zelda franchise as a whole, though i myself have played literally none of these games) is closer to fitting the description of ‘Tolkien-esque Fantasy’ than most other movies/shows/games/books etc that claim that label

Like, compare this post by tumblr user wufflesvetinari, which makes an important point about Tolkien’s worldbuilding, and also lives in my head rent free:

and then these quotes from Jacob Geller’s “Every Zelda is the Darkest Zelda”

and his conclusions about the messages in Zelda games are thematically very similar to the through-lines about friendship and love in LOTR, and what a lot of authors miss about what makes a fantasy story personal and memorable:

“A world without joy and humor isn’t a compelling world to fight for” is exactly why there are so many pieces of fantasy media out there that just feel like carbon copies of each other (i’ve seen many posts that explain this better than I can though I can’t find any specific ones at the moment, just know that I didn’t invent this thesis). You’ve got the cool swords, you’ve got the wizards and the spells and the battles, but first and foremost you need the LOVE.

#veesaysthings #thanks for attending my ted talk on this day #lord of the rings #tolkien #the legend of zelda #breath of the wild #again i've never played a zelda game in my life but Jacob Geller's video stuck with my like nothing else #i was hoping he'd draw parallels bc I was like omg! this is literally tolkien-esque! in the most literal non-corrupted sense of that phrase!#but he didn't bring it up (to my knowledge) so i'm doing it right here right now #long post

So you're telling me that Scar naturally got the permit for sand, giving him the coveted monopoly, and didn't even want it anymore, whereas Grian has wound up with the permit for red sand and does actually want to use it. Red sand. Red. Meanwhile the end of third life involved Grian killing Scar and staining the sand with his blood following a conflict fuelled by a hopeless monopoly. And it's still following them years after the actual murder. And I'm supposed to be normal about this how exactly
