Hi! Welcome to linklocus, a blog for otherlinkers to submit canon calls and confessions 🌿
If you don't know what otherlinking is, have a look at my guide here: https://chordata-on-alterhumanity.tumblr.com/post/653317695202263040/the-chordata-guide-to-otherlinking
Submission rules:
! Please tell me your name and source either in or at the end of the submission, so I can tag the post accordingly.
For calls, I will tag your linktype, your source (in case of fictionlink), and who you are looking for. These posts will be tagged as otherlink call. Examples:
"Hi! I'm Raihan from Pokemon looking for ppl to talk with :)"
-> #raihan link ; #pokemon link ; #otherlink call ; #canon call
"Hi! I'm looking for ppl to talk :) - Raihan, Pokemon"
-> #raihan link ; #pokemon link ; #otherlink call
"Hi! I'm Raihan from Pokemon, looking for Gordie :)"
-> #raihan link ; #pokemon link ; #gordie link ; #otherlink call
For confessions, I will only tag your linktype and your source, not who you mention in submissions. These posts will be tagged as otherlink confession. Example:
"Man, Gordie is so cool... - Raihan, Pokemon"
-> #raihan link ; #pokemon link ; #otherlink confession
! Please be respectful. Overly problematic confessions and calls might be deleted, but we try to keep an open mind here. Please put a trigger warning at the start of potentially triggering submissions and censor heavy topic words.
! If I have something I want to say in reply to a confession or call, I'll put it in the tags unless I feel it's important. I want the submissions to be the focus of this blog, not my personality. I need to write Something underneath an ask in order to publish it, so expect emojis and emoticons.
Potential questions you might have:
- Is this blog for all types of otherlink or only fictionlink?
; This blog is for all types of 'linkers within my range of comfort! Fictionlink, mythical otherlink, real animal 'link, etc etc... Factlink maybe. If it's a "factlink" that links a persona/a performance/your ideal image of a person, I guess that's fine. It'd be best you isolate the traits you want to link and make it into an OC or something (tricky subject ( '-' " ))
- Why would otherlinkers want to look for canon mates? Linking isn't a past life experience, right?
; There are many reasons why an otherlinker might want to find canonmates. 'Linkers can experience constructed memories like psychological otherkin can. A 'linker might want to interact with others who identify from the same source to strengthen their linktype. They might want to build a friendship based on a linking experience. Their linktype can even be spiritual in nature and become something akin to a parallel life. Etc etc. The reasons are very individual and I encourage you, if you contact someone who leaves a canon call here, to ask them what the intention behind the call is.
- Can we submit/request more than calls and confessions?
; If you have an idea about what else we could do, please suggest it! I'm a very busy person, so I won't do anything that takes up my time like requested aesthetics, drawings, or writing.
- I'm confused about otherlinking. Can I ask you a question?
; Sure! I'll try to explain.
I run a Discord server for talking about voluntary identities! Feel free to join if you want to talk about linking and more: https://discord.gg/F57TkXE6Nt
