I think I look funny. Does that make me an elf?

r-monoxide askes a very important question in otherkin.

I seem to be running into a lot of pictures, discussion, etc about physiological traits that otherkin have that are related to their 'kin type. I myself have pointed ears, and I notice that there are quite a few others with pointed ears. I am also aware that there are body mod practitioners who will make your

Ahhh otherkin. All other attempts at fail pale into comparison to their continued effort. No matter how much racism wank, boob-nazi posts or meta stupid is posted here, the otherkin win the prize without even fucking trying. Them and the goddamn furries and soulbonders.
At least they make me more positive about where I am in my life; I may be a sad lonely bastard, but I ain't that fucked up.

Sadly, from what I've seen, it's generally very sad, desperately lonely people, who want nothing more than to be special. I can't even really make fun of them anymore, once I realized just how pathetic they really are.

I love your icon.

Icon ADORATION!
And once when I was 15 I gave names to different aspects of my personality. After two days I decided this was a dangerous idea, and stopped.

Every time I read a book my head talks to me in the tone of that book until I read another one. But I generally don't think that Eliza Bennett is living in my head every time I read Pride and Prejudice.

Me, too. I also have the problem that if I watch, say, a british movie or tv show, my internal monologue has a british accent for a while.

I thought I was the only one with a monlogue. Except mine is more of a narration.

I do you one better.

Every time I read a book, anything I write for a while will come out sounding like it for a while. The only immediate cure is to read a book utterly devoid of any sort of style or originality. That's why I have a copy of Interview with the Vampire.

Ok, I LOLed at that. I'm actually between permanant residences this summer and a lot of my stuff is in storage, and I've been missing my copy of Interview with the Vampire. :)

[not_waving]

I THINK I LOVE YOU...

[cyanidexxkisses]

Oh, so Schitzophrenia, then?

[vertigo_vox]

Yeah..... I'm thinking meds would be good for that kind of situation.

[sober_panda]

I love that every soul-bonding description I've ever read contains something to the effect of "I know this sounds exactly like [serious mental disorder], but it isn't!"

If I ever someday find myself describing my beliefs in such a way, I only hope that I can look back on this and get myself some help.

[yenesi]

There is also soulbonding

[mcity]

I would just like to point out that there is such a thing as a sane furry. Otherkin and soulbonders are nuts by definition.

[ex_thexphial147]

Speaking as someone who is bonded to a character or two of my own creation, I don't see it as any more crazy than any other writer who claims that the characters have a life of their own.
