#chinakin

(If I've accidentally offended you in any way, please just ignore me—thanks so much, thanks! I used a translator and hope my words make sense.)

Hello! This is a great question, thank you for asking! Your question is very clear and you did great.

I have a unique relationship because I am still ethnically Chinese (Part Chinese and mostly Vietnamese.) So, I still do have a sense of community with Chinese people. However, this is unrelated to my kintype. It is because of my heritage. Because of this existing social connection, I don't want to view my people/community in a monolith.

But as someone who is the country of China... I want the best for everyone in my borders. the rest of humanity, and everything connected to me. And that includes this body, myself. Because my personal otherkin identity is rooted in psychological reasons (from trauma), this is my brain's way of making sure I'm taking care of myself.

Me being Chinakin is another reason why I protect and preserve my community and fight for our rights. I am not above or below anyone, I am part of the whole, and I will promise to protect everyone and my communities.

It is truly the person of color and black person experience to learn about obscure(?) and wildly bizarre racist shit out of nowhere.

In my defense I'm not familiar with hetalia and its fandom, much less what 'aru' is. For all I knew it was like OTL [which is supposed to look like a person on all fours in despairing behavior.] Sorry about posting that, nonetheless.

Hey whoever's is using that: stop. Do not reclaim it, either.

Stimboard / Moodboard for China!

- china , hetalia (hetalia fantasia specifically)

ah, the existentiality of being otherkin from trauma I don't even kin cats, I just like drawing them. It's hard for me to take vent art seriously if the person depicted is a literal country

Excuse some awkwardness here and there. I just wanna rant about being countrykin. It's so awesome to meet you CAR!

I am personally objectum for the USA (she/xe/purr/it) and I introduced my bf to that as well (we're both otherkin.) We wish you and The Gambia the absolute best! The post with the hearts you made with her is my fave.

I have some very strong thoughts on the controversy of being countrykin/placekin, especially since I believe my alterhumanity originates from trauma (not copinglink though) and being China gives me so much strength, physical and mental, and the power inherent of being a giant physical and conceptual entity is so freeing.

It's one thing to be connected specifically to countries/concepts specifically connected to one brutal regime/etc., but as an Asian guy with Chinese descent, it just feels gross and even racist to an extent. I am so much more than my government. I am the mountains that touch the sky, the rivers of life that color the soil yellow, the love and hearts of a billion people, the endurance of a long history, the strength of my flora and fauna. Same with being the CAR. There will always be issues within a place that exists in our physical reality. But we are more than the sum of our parts.

I am just so glad to have another countrykin here. It feels really isolating sometimes. Especially when my kin has affected my identity so much, including my chosen name down to my favorite colors and how I choose to curate my room.

So I am here to say... Please. PLEASE talk, discuss, ramble, vent, rant more about being the CAR. You are awesome. I connect with it so much.

Love from China 🇨🇳 ❤ 🇨🇫

Hey! So, as it turns out, I didn't meet 2 China placekins, and it's just a coincidence that we've found each other twice on the expanse of the internet! You're the only one lol. Also, I do remember you from reddit :3

I've actually talked to Gold before and he mentioned you. He and said that you might have talked to me in the past, so I'm glad we could meet again! I was super excited when I saw you in my notes :)

Thank you so much for the kind words towards me and The Gambia!! We're doing well and appreciate your wishes :) I wish the same for you and the USA and whatever other objects/things you and Tank are loving on ^^

I feel the same way about the whole placekin controversy thing and I couldn't have said it better myself. While man-made things are important to mankind, we are so much more than that. My identity is not human and has nothing to do with being human. I am a place who's human aspects are ran by humans, but that is only one part of me. There are many, many non-human aspects that make me...me. All of my life and non-life share me, a nonhuman entity.

I will continue to speak for myself and other placekin: that's why I made this blog! I couldn't find any other (active) placekin accounts that spoke out about us. Our community was in the shadows and pretty much unknown to the world, so someone had to be a voice for us. Not to from egotistical, but this blog brought placekin together, educated others on who we are, and even allowed others to discover that they were placekin themselves. I'm here to tell the world that we're here.

Happy to meet with you again, China.
