Salutations all! I come bringing good updates and such. The website is receiving a lot of love, which I am so appreciative of. I want this to get people excited in the community! I have lots more work to do, and I unfortunately work 40+ hours a week. So expect more updates on the website's finality closer to next Wednesday. For now, here is the WIP of the website!

I need to edit paragraphs, add graphics (if I am able to for carrd. I maxed out the elements at one point.) Overall this has been a really rather wonderful experience with lots of fun to it. I need to compile links for credits/secondary(/And primary) sources of the community's start. I also need to compile resources for the Misce+ lifestyle. I know it looks choppy, but the links all work so that's all that matters to me. The vocabulary tag will be the longest thing in this whole set of links and such. Which, massive pain. But that's alright. The tedious work is always- well, tedious. If there are people with open discord servers for the Misce+ community PLEASE reach out, I'd like to compile some servers that are semi-active and chatty. I might start my own as a compilation for this particular website, but, alas, I am terrible at making discord servers and moderating them. This also might lead into some google slides admittedly for each sub-gender. This has become a much larger beast than I imagined, but the support has been ever great.

The spiritual concept of Kin along with its original meaning has effectively been pushed out of its own space by Tumblr users and hobbyists. This mirrors what’s now happening with Miscefolk, which is being reinterpreted and reshaped into “Misceverse” by a similar demographic. In both cases, the terms are drifting away from their original intent and audience, displacing the people they were created to represent. We’ve already seen this happen with Kin or Spiritual Kin, which is now often referenced in a derogatory or trivializing way. It’s disheartening to watch the same pattern repeat with Miscefolk versus Misceverse terminology.

I am not afraid to say I think many people have either misunderstood or deliberately misinterpreted the original coiner of #Miscefolk ‘s post, reducing it to scare monger claims that “they just hate alterhumans, therians, kinnies, or systems.” From personal experience interacting with them on more than one occasion I know this is completely misplaced slander.

The term Miscefolk (along with related terms like miscecanis and misceanimalis) was coined to describe people who still identify as human but experience strong, involuntary Non Human Earth-animal instincts that mirror the Omegaverse.

The use of “-verse,” shorthand for “universe” or “AU” (alternate universe), comes from fictional writing and roleplay spaces. Applying that language to Misce makes it sound like a fictional genre, or something tied to constructed narratives, faux memories of alters/parts of DIDOSDD systems, or past lives of Kin individuals. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with those frameworks using them in misapplication can overshadow and confuse the experiences of Misce+ individuals who are describing this present universe and lived realities of people who do not choose these behaviors or identities as a hobby.

If you’re looking for a broader term to describe Misce alignments and species considered fictional or originating from mythology or folklore you may find this post helpful, I’d encourage others exploring those.
