nimdreams1-How many kin do your have? My identity isn't stable yet and I am changing and adjusting labels all the time, which means how many 'types I have right now is just a snapshot of this moment. But to answer the question -- 3. Voidling, Vulpecula and golden retriever.
2-How long has it been since you decided to learn about/take part in the community? What got you to do so? 6 years. I joined the community in April 2018 after my autism diagnosis, and me deciding to fully accept and be myself.
3-Do you have memories or ghost limbs? Is one more frequent than the other? My identity is psychological and neurological. I do have noemata, but no true memories.
4-Have you ever felt the need to behave like your kin? Yes, of course! I have often felt like behaving like a dog when among other dogs. My golden identity is very much a shifting identity where my other 2 are more integrated.
5-Do you engage in any activity, listen to music or own any objects that make you feel closer to your kin? Yes! I have multiple playlists for my 'types. Music is a very important part to my nonhumanity, and makes me feel like myself. As far as activities go, I'd say, dreaming, daydreaming, singing and dancing. I don't currently own objects that make me feel closer.
6-Are your kin spirital, psychological or both? What makes you believe so? My identity is psychological, I am an atheist and although spirituality has been an interest of mine many times in my life, I don't hold any of its beliefs. Which means I am psychological by omission.
7-Ever had any experience with KFF? How do you currently coexist online(totally fine with them, ignore, block, etc)? Nope, no experience with them.
8-Any spot in the kin community that you specially like (fandom, forum, discord server, etc)? I don't have a preference. I am on Therian Amino, tumblr, instagram and discord and they all have different uses and reasons why I enjoy them.
9-How high are your chances of running into doubles? I am not fictionkin, where I think the word doubles comes from? I know that there are other voidlings and golden retrievers and since there can be multiple of these, there is no possibility for doubles. My Vulpecula identity however, there is only one Vulpecula constellation, and I identify as it. I would be okay if someone else identified as Vulpecula too though, as we'd both have our own connection, interpretation and experiences ad Vulpecula. Our identity wouldn't be the exact same, and that is why I wouldn't mind and actually be very interested!
10-Any kin flag? None.
For therians:
1-Is there a part of your body that you specially miss? For this identity, no, not a body part. I wish I could interact with dogs as a dog and that they saw me as a dog.
2-You likely know what species you are, but do you know what type/breed? Golden Retriever is the one I keep going back to.
For otherkin:
1-What makes you ‘other’? So many things, but mainly it is how I see myself. I am autistic and chronically ill and do not fit into society. I am nonhuman, I am otherkin, I feel great belonging in these communities. It is the only place where I have been able to cultivate friendships and true connections.
2-Would you say you were a higher/lower being or were you at the same level as humans? I definitely feel like I am a higher being, though as a voidling in my dreams especially; I am treated as a lower being. For my nonhuman identities as voidling and Vulpecula, I have powers and abilities that humans in this realm don't have. I feel powerful and special. But then in real life, I am autistic and severely chronically ill and I feel lesser than others. So the answer is really, that I feel like I am both.
