hi, this is my page for my experiences as otherkin. when this page is finished you will be able to click each picture on the right for more information about these aspects of me!
i have been identifying as a Something Else for as long as i could remember. my first experience was when i was very young, about 13 on tumblr. for a while, i (like many others) thought of kin as finding a character relatable and that's it, and so, to cope with the unstable self-perception i was struggling with at that time, i began to say i was kin with angel from buffy, which was my special interest in 2014. this remained a large part of my identity but wasn't what i consider to be kin, and i didn't know i had a serious kin identity until 2017, when i had what i consider to be my first real kin experience, watching doctor who's enlightenment. after i finished the serial, i began to get a flood of memories of senses from the episode---jumping off the ship, the scent of the doctor, the bite of the air. and then the non-canon memories flooded in, moments i remembered that i felt had been removed from the epsiode, seen in my mind in first person pov. i put it together pretty quickly; i was kin with vislor turlough in a pretty serious sense. actually, nay, i just was vislor turlough. i am! everything else began to make sense after that, my childhood interest in space and archaeology being related to anna, my feeling of alienation in schools being related to my life as turlough, and so on. it was an awakening.
from there i avoided most kin communities as "kinning" by that time was beginning to be seen as embarassing n the circles i frequented. people were abandoning their kinlists, divorcing themselves from the concept of being kin because they didn't want to be seen as cringe. so i put it in the back of my mind for a bit, and i only just now (in late 2024) began to associate publicly again with them. i am ashamed that i let "cringe culture" control me for so long but we can only move forward. now, i'm engaging way more with the kin community, in places i will link in the resources section. i love being otherkin >:)
my experiences with otherkinity are spiritual mainly--my 'types are me, just in a parallel universe. in this universe i am in this body; in the universe of babylon 5 my essence is inside of anna; in the universe across the street i am a binturong; and so on. i believe in this universe my purpose is to spread awareness about my fictotypes, as they belong to mainly obscure shows with small fanbases. my experiences are also psychological as i understand myself better under the context of being these characters/creatures. it's a very important aspect of my life!
