Estollic / Kinlike / Kin-ish

Estollic, Kinlike, or Kin-ish, is an alterhuman (otherkin / therian / fictionkin / etc.) term for those who identify with / as a kintype (theriotype / fictotype / etc.), but only somewhat. They may see themselves as being ‘like’ an animal / character / etc., when something feels ‘like’ a kin, or feel ‘-ish’ about said type. 

A liketype could be an animal / character one is usually associated with, by themself or by those around them. It may also be an animal / character one feels fondness for or feels a connection to, but doesn’t fully kin for any reason. 

It is not meant to be a derogatory term and is a self-identifier only. Liketypes can be involuntary, voluntary, or anywhere in between. 

One’s kinlike / kin-ish / estollic type could be called an estol / estoltype, liketype, typeish / ishtype, or an estol / estoltype. ‘Estollic’ is inspired by constelic [link]. Other terms under this umbrella: fictoestol, therioestol, otherestol, etc.

Some day I will hunt animals in this fashion. It gives me great euphoria to run and chase animals. And not even in a caniform or bird way. A human way. To chase down an animal until it collapses from exhaustion and kill it and eat it. To use every part of that animal and respect and give thanks for its sacrifice.

Lately been rereading Parasyte and fuck these four pages. I relate to this lion so fucking much. I love this series. It's honestly the only manga I read these days.
