ahem

anyway xd

may I ask what kin memories feel like for you? /nfta :3

HELLO HELLO HELLO EIFBZSJFBDJEHDJSHE

Anyways

I'm actually really glad you asked, because this really made me think about it. It really REALLY depends heavily on the kintype

For example, if we go to arctic fox kin memories, I remember c o l d but not cold and w a l k and like that was chill (pun absolutely intended), those are very sensory based and almost whimsical/random with how they show up

Meanwhile, with my mermaid kintypes, I have two specific types- Stereotypical Pretty Mermaid (Which I remember nothing of) and biblically accurate fish creature- Which, I actually remember having very little free will as we know it. I mainly floated (Plankton eating typesh) around and just. Survived, though that comes with a deep emotional nostalgia and connection for me.

Now, when it comes to my sin'dorei kintype, the biggest, most complete memory I have is a bit blurry, but I remember being hunched over an object (Or animal, whatever it was it totally lacked energy at that point and was absolutely dead), and feeling the most Awful Horrible Existential Dread Ever as if literally everything was just coming to a close. Sickness all around me, and oddly enough I very very vividly feel how sick I was. That one hit me on a random Tuesday, and I was nauseous for basically the rest of the day, it was so bad. It gave me a visceral emotional reaction as well- I so vividly remember the hopelessness I felt in that moment and the terror and complacency that threatened to engulf me.

But most kin memories don't feel all consuming like that one- Most are fleeting, or bits and pieces. Whether it gives me an emotional or physical reaction I think heavily depends on how close I am to the kintype as well as the specific kintype.

And for many kintypes I have no memories at all! Those ones may just be psychological, and that's all fine and dandy to me

So I (semi) recently completely kinfirmed blood elf/sin'dorei from WoW (I've known for like 15 years tho lowk 😭). One big problem: I don't play WoW, can't because my computer will ✨️explode✨️, and my only exposure was between the ages of 4-7.

Nonetheless my sin'dorei kintype, and even kaldorei kintype, is so strong that I've imagined myself in elf form for a long time now, but mostly as a child.

So like, as established, not much Actual Knowledge On WoW but fuck it what are video essays for. However, as for the topic of this post, I am having an unpleasant time with sin'dorei kin memories like

Hello???? Where is this????? Who???? What???????????

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON

AAAA

Couldn't it have waited for me to get to a video essay on the topic? No????? I should've expected this answer

Never fear! The sin'dorei alterhuman pride flag is here!

Somebody pat me on the back. I think these came out so regal and lovely.

The stripes are red, blue and sunlight yellow, and do not have unique meanings from top to bottom (Aka one blue does not have a different meaning from the other).

The red stripe represents the blood of our fallen taken from us by the scourge, and the passion for survival and perseverance our people have.

The blue represents magic, particularly arcane magic, as well as fierce loyalty to our own people.

The yellow represents the sunwell, our diurnal nature and our alignment with the Light.

I hope other sin'dorei will see this flag and enjoy it, as well as reach out! Sometimes I feel like the only one on this planet, but I know that's not true, and even if it is, engagement from fellow elves would be reassuring enough :)

For Quel'Thalas 🙏 okay bye

i absolutely ADORE the color orange, and i think this one turned out preeeetty good, if i do say so myself. which i do heheh

To make it short and simple, I do not condone harm to the self or others, blood sacrifices, or ANYTHING like that. I do not want these "sacrifices" done towards me, they make me HIGHLY uncomfortable, and I highly suggest no one does them towards other eldritch beings either.

Your body is a temple and you should treat it with the respect of one. Additionally, it's important to just treat yourself and others with respect.

Even if you don't necessarily hurt yourself to make these offerings (like with accidental cuts) it is still highly frowned upon in many cultures, and making such offerings can make the intended individual extremely uncomfortable and can even be interpreted as disrespectful.

This is a boundary of mine, and I expect it to be respected; I love all of you and I want all of you safe and well.

Also, if at any point you feel as though you are going through a crisis or are struggling, I urge you to reach out to your loved ones for support.

Sigh. Stay safe y'all.

Are these too specific? xd

Fellow owl ‼️‼️‼️

Inspired me to make my own collage recently!! (Pictured below)

I know it's not like kin/therian, but still! I wanted to let you know you inspired me to try this out! I love how it came out :3

I wish that Cas could've been around to see this. I'm sure they would've been touched.

That's a beautiful collage, friend. You should keep at it!!!

Mountain lion king moodboard with a theme if Olympic national forest, specifically the dark, foggy bits! (Ofc this is only if you want to, no pressure :3)

This one's on the simpler side, but I think it turned out well regardless!
