Otherkin / Fictionkin / Therians - Weirdos LARPing as animals, mythological creatures, and fictional characters

I don't have a tumblr but I used to browse a website called ExperienceProject and there was no shortage of users in the 13-15 age demographic proclaiming to be otherkin, werewolves, seeking advice on how to ''P-shift''.

As it turns out it is a clinically recognized disorder (which could also apply to other forms of ''otherkin''):

I blame Twilight.

''Otherkin'' fits right in with those who believe they are ''Indigo Children''.

Clinical lycanthropy is extremely rare, though. Also, those people for real actually believe they are animals, rather than what otherkin do, which is lie to themselves and hope everybody believes them, because hey, somebody in this group is probably telling the truth, right?

Right?

I'm of the belief that these super special snowflakes write a page describing all of their headmates because they'll forget all the names/"personalities" of all their imaginary friends otherwise.

Exactly. Imagine what would happen if they forgot about Dre.

If you take away the headmates, the self diagnosed illnesses and the fictitious and sometimes contradictory genders, what are you left with?

Weebs and Pokemon fans mostly. A startling lack of diversity of interests and hobbies on Tumblr. A lot of them seem to draw in the same pseudo-manga style too.

It's a functional ledger of lies (not a original just can't recall the source) I'd you watch the head mate other kin crap you will notice they always seem to develop a new kin or head mate when a new member of the community gains popularity or they need to respond to something that contradicts another true self.

Every one of them fits a need, as I said before in this thread it suits a need or so cute (or other side they want to play up like cute, edgy, etc), but they are always cool or cute it's rare to fin a real other kin to identify with a pubiclouse or cancers, an they are not a troll or otherwise taking the piss it's nearly always cool / nice or current hot show on TV.

Have they started infighting yet? I just can't wait to see arguments about "dolphin priviledge".

Although I don't have it on hand, I've seen a lot of infighting in regards to "fictives", otherkin who identify as a fictional character. Apparently people who identify as dragons and werewolves draw the line at specific, already-made characters.

I know a girl who's an otherkin. She believes herself to spiritually be a wolf, it's pretty funny to watch.

One time, a friend of mine and I got stuck in a group her and her friends for an assignment. Because I'm a perfect little angel, I never said anything mean to her directly so she was cool with me (in fact I'm pretty sure she had a crush on me). The whole time, she just talked about what animal each of us were spiritually. My friend was a bear, this other guy was also a wolf, and I was.....a monkey. A fucking monkey. She never did a good job explaining why
