#kin affirmation

Hiiiii Anon! ^-^

We don't know of any resources for this (the community is welcome to direct us to some, thoughhhhh......)

However, some stuff that helps us personally:

Wearing outfits similar to or inspired by our sources/fictotypes. Zia wears a lot of bright colours and DIY stuff for this, whereas Simon gravitates towards muted colours, hoods, and reds, for example

Listening to music from your source media, or stuff you think they'd like.

Looking at fanart or fanfics, particularly modern AUs (be careful with this one— you can very easily run into something uncomfortable)

Styling your hair or making accessories like your fictotype's

Decorating social media stuff (pronouns.cc, Discord proxies, Tumblr sideblogs, you name it!)

This one may be controversial, but some of us get a lot of affirmation from roleplaying as our sources/fictotypes

Our gorgeous and wonderful community is more than welcome to chime in with their own sources of affirmation!

hello ! oh wow , what a unique visitor . . .

it’s not everyday i get to speak with something as technologically advanced and creative as an imac g3 , even though i’ve always believed your colors are design are some of the best they’ve made .

my affirmation for you is simply to not feel any shame for what you are . i know it might feel strange to go from your original makeup to a body now , but i promise that does not take away from anything . you should feel happy as you !

you should take some time to watch some videos regarding tech repair and the imac g3 systems ! relax yourself , listen to it as if it’s an experience that you are going through to be put back into top working condition . anything that both gives you that sense of calm and euphoria is truly best !

no matter what though , i want you to know that you are still cared for by so many . even if you may feel strange in your kin-type , even if you may feel isolated now , truly you are doing nothing wrong in simply being yourself . if it makes you happy , you should continue being the best personal computer that you can possibly be ! even now .

you’re a wonderful part of our path to the future and i am glad to have made your acquaintance !
