honestly? i dont like being polykin
i think so many parts of my therianthropy and my otherkin identity are beautiful and amazing and i love them but the fact im polykin just. isnt one
sometimes it is. usually its not.
if i have more than 3 fucking types im faking, im lying, im probably some kind of hybrid.
but if i dont list all of my types, im faking, im lying, im just trying to get attention.
if i tell someone that im a fox therian, im told im just an attention seeker for being such a common pretty animal
if i tell someone im a red, arctic, and bat-eared fox as well as gargoyle gecko? im faking and im probably just a red fox.
if i tell someone about my otherkin identities- yellow / cyan lizards, rivulet, hornet, i just like them a lot !!!!! im not actually something from a game thats younger than me !!!! bc i cant be im older than it !!!! i just like them a lot :3
if i tell someone all of my identities, im still a liar and a faker. if i dont tell people any of them, im still a liar and a faker.
im scared to tell people im questioning a python kin, specifically reticulated / ball (i was originally mostly considering ball but im starting to be a bit more convinced its reticulated?) because im scared itll just be seen as "every animal i like, i decide to be"
i dont choose this. a lot of the animals i love are BECAUSE of me being them. i didnt realize my attachment and love was because i was one, i didnt even know that was a thing.
some of my favorite animals are hyenas and african wild dogs- im not either, i know im not, im very confident in that
yes, i do like pythons quite a lot, but i like ball pythons because id love to keep one someday.
i do love gargoyle geckos, but that fascination came with the discovery i was one.
i do love bat-eared foxes, which again came with the discovery that i was one.
i know its apparently "faker" behavior to have your favorite animal and your kintype be the same creature, but my favorite animals often stem FROM me being them, even if i dont know it
in all honestly im not really that interested in reticulated pythons, i think theyre very fascinating but i just love snakes in general theyre on the same level as all reptiles for me !!!!!
