Hey there! It doesn’t matter who I am, I’m just here to tell you something!

Otherkinity, fictionkinity, and therianthropy aren’t coping mechanisms or games. There’s no “kinning for fun” in fact, there’s no “kinning”! It’s not something you do, it’s not even a choice. It’s an identity. If you do find yourself identifying as something other than human for coping, then look into copinglinks.

Definition of a copinglink: An identity that would otherwise be under the fictionkin/otherkin/therian umbrella that you choose to use for means of coping.

What makes an otherkin or therian... an otherkin or therian? Well, a therian is someone who identifies as an earthly animal on a non-physical level. This could be coming from spiritual, psychological, or neurological origins! It varies by beliefs and individuals. If you are a therian, you don’t choose it, and you can’t become a therian. An otherkin or fictionkin is the same, but instead of earthly, it’s mythical or fictional!

Proper terminology:

Kins? Nope! Kintypes/theriotypes

Kinnie? Nope! Otherkin/therian/fictionkin

Kinning? Nope! It’s not an action, perhaps you mean “Awakening” or “Discovering”?

How many kintypes can I have? Well, there’s no set amount. Although, I hate to burst your bubble and I’m not trying to hurt anyone, but if you have over 10 kintypes.. then you probably need to do some more reflection. Have you always experienced these traits? Do you truly feel like you are all those kintypes?

It hurts true otherkin/therians/fictionkin to call yourself one of us because you strongly relate to a character or other being. We experience hard struggles and to have others claim it’s mostly about memories, aesthetics, and wanting to be in a certain universe? It really does hurt. If you find you just identify “with” as opposed to “as” a being or beings, then look into kithtypes. That’s the definition.

Also “factkin” isn’t real, it’s borderline identity theft and it’s certainly not okay.

Please feel free to ask questions, but refrain from being aggressive. Despite what you might think, I’m not trying to invalidate or harm anyone.

Magick Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Not my photo)

Ever wonder why your mom’s chocolate chip cookies tasted so good? I always did that’s for sure.

My grubby toddler hands would snatch one from the kitchen and cram it into my mouth, melted chocolate dripping from my chin. Turns out Magick can explain it. 

Ingredients + Magick correspondences

Witchy Tip: Place a piece of rose quartz charged with positive energy near the food to make the food taste better

¾ cup Crisco Butter flavored shortening

1 cup dark brown sugar

¼ cup white sugar

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

2 tablespoons milk (any milk will do)

¾ teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1 teaspoon of sea salt

½ cup chopped pecans

Chocolate Chips and Chopped Chocolate bar (I use Hershey) No measurement, because you measure that shit with your heart.

Directions

Start by heating your oven to 375ºF.

Now in a kitchen aid on medium speed, beat your shortening, sugar, milk, and vanilla until very light and airy. About the duration of 2 plays of the song Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka

Beat in egg. Now in a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. 

Now with your chocolate chips pour in until your heat says stop. If you wanna add the whole bag then you add the whole damn bag.

With a cookie scoop, scoop them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Now I know there is no such thing as a perfect chocolate chip cookie, but these cookies are definitely hella addictive. In fact, is that your third cookie?

EMERGENCY!! PLEASE HELP!

As some of you might know, the UK has been hit with severe flooding due to the excess rain we’ve been having from three storms in a row. Tonight the flood barrier in my town broke and our house as been flooded, causing damage to the downstairs. My parents, both sick and disabled and I are having to stay in a hotel which the officials will only pay so much toward. If anyone could help even just a little, please please do so! My paypal is iorhail_baggins@hotmail.com  and I’d be forever grateful.

As for the blog, right now I’ve put a load on queue and that will hopefully take care of it for a bit. We’re hoping to be home by the middle of next month, but until then we’re stuck in the hotel accumulating more costs. I hate to ask but any small ammount will help. Thank you all. <3

Update! I now also have cashapp if people could donate there aswell. £frithinle

Beautiful

Hey guys! For starters, everything in this post is purely my opinion. It is totally cool if you feel otherwise but these are my thoughts.

Often times, therianthropy is taken to be this super serious thing that should always be super serious and hardcore. Its not a quirk, its not roleplay, it's a serious identity, and that is true. However, self expression is also important, to me at least. You cant take yourself seriously and be super mature all the time, you'll make yourself sick. You gotta have fun! Do things that make you shifty even if considered to be cringe or immature! Howl at the moon!!! Roll in some grass!!! Climb a fucken tree!!! Doing these things doesn't make you "less" therian just because it's generally seen as childish! As long as what you're doing is safe and healthy, go for it!!!

For a long time I didn't talk about things I liked to do because I wanted people to think my identity was serious and not a game, and it is serious but that doesn't mean I ALWAYS have to be serious about it. I've done the introspection, I've done the weeks and months and years of thinking and researching, but that isn't what my identity is about. It's about embracing the animal within us! Yes we are physically human, but that doesn't mean have to act like one 24/7! You gotta let go now and then, do what makes you feel good and don't worry subtlety or being mature! Just go be you!

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go lay in a puddle.

I have to agree with this just trying to be an adult all the time and never letting your Therian side show just makes you feel horrible and at some point it's going to force it's self out you gotta be yourself sometimes otherwise your just going to end up hurting deep down inside in a way that's going to make you feel irrational

Witchcraft for kids: How to fill a child's life with magic

If there's a child in your life that you want to introduce magic to, here are some small and simple ideas:

There are so many more things you can do but this is just a basic list! Please share your favorite witchy things for children!!!

Oh man I love this post.

I am going to add identifying local plant life and herbs and going to farmers markets or produce section and talking about uses of apples potatoes and kitchen witchery.

Bake bread with them.

Let them stay up late on turns of the wheel of the year and theme days with sabots

Monster spray they make themselves. (Handle oils with care)

So many things.

more therian musings...

I keep noticing weird quirks about myself that I connect back to my therianthropy. Whether or not it’s a result of my therian side may be irrelevant; they’re still traits that often make me feel like something other than human, or are comparable to the nonhuman parts of my identity.

This might also be considered an intersection of my therianthropy and my neurodivergent brain-workings, as I do consider my therianthropy to be partly psychological.

Might continue this list in the future, just needed to write it down for the record and figured others might be interested by this sort of thing?

“Reverse” changelings are rarely addressed on tumblr, but it’s actually something that I discuss with others in the craft frequently offline. So I thought I would compile it into a comic for witchblr!

Whoaa! I think my dream friend Daniel might be of the Fae after reading this!!

Anyone else have more information about changelings etc that they can drop me?
