And so many of the Pandoran fictionfolk on here are anti-endo. I swear to the gods every time I find a new one there’s like a 75% chance they’re anti-endo. I don’t understand why the correlation is so high LMAO.

But yes, absolutely - I think it’s always worth at least looking. Worst case scenario is that you don’t find much connection, in which care you’re not really worse off than you are without trying, right?

The reason I'm hesitant that I'm fictionkin is that treat my source like it's fiction. Like yeah that this stuff probably happened in my past life, but I still draw the fictional version of kintype in contexts of not being a sona or myself.

Also I wish there was word for sona that is like fictional character that, unlike kinsona, is unrelated to alterhumanity, maybe it would clear things up.

a) out of pure curiosity, where are you seeing who's following Other Blogs?? I was not aware this was a functionality Tumblr had

b) while I appreciate the thought, antikin can follow me all they want, I don't generally care. maybe they'll learn something. if they get obnoxious enough then I'll block them, but generally I find it entertaining to debate antikin when they try to come onto my posts and be snippy. (I do not recommend this approach to most people; I am weird for genuinely just not being stressed out by this.)

It's a common naming convention (at least in the US) for college classes that often gets used colloquially, as it's being used here, as shorthand for "baseline information". A 101 class is the entry-level class to a subject, and usually the prerequisite for taking any higher-level classes. The first number typically indicates the year it's meant to be taken in, and the rest is whether it's the first, second, third, etc. class in that subject for that year. So, Chemistry 101 is the first chem class you take in your first year, 102 is the next semester, etc, and then in your second year you'd start with 201 and go on to 202 and 203.

I... really don't, actually, honestly. If I were going to try I'd probably go about it the same way as one goes about 'linking (which I do have a guide for) or maybe inducing voluntary shifts (which kind of sums up to "imagine it really hard" LMAO), but I'm not sure how to approach that in a less permanent way.

Boy, I admit I don't have much in the way of resources onhand for that specifically; it's a bit out of my scope. I probably can't tell you anything Google can't. It sums up to, starseeds are a New Age concept proposing that certain people are extraterrestrial souls sent to Earth to guide humanity to some kind of ascension. It purports that certain people are born inherently "higher" while others are more "primitive" spiritually speaking, which is already a pretty yikes concept even before you get into the history of this movement and ones like it being deeply steeped in racism and eugenics. Suspiciously, whenever you see physical descriptions of these "higher races," the ones who aren't just bog-standard "greys" always seem to be pale-skinned and often blonde, at least from what I've seen (Pleiadians, one of the most well-known and "highest" races, are literally described as "Nordic aliens" or "indistinguishable from Nordic people").

It's also heavily linked to the idea of aliens "seeding" earth in the past, which is itself a concept steeped in racism and the ideas that a) different peoples are literally different species (some of which are of course "higher" than others) and b) historical people of color of course couldn't actually accomplish anything impressive or significant, it must have been aliens. It's also linked to the idea that Someday Soon™ there will be a great purge, I mean ascension, where the enlightened and spiritual starseeds will rise to a New Earth and everyone else will be left behind (which doesn't sound like the Rapture or like every dream of the Grand Revolution which conveniently doesn't care how many people it leaves behind or kills in the process of creating its new dream).

So. yeah. There's more to it, but that's about all I know off the top of my head and with minimal research (all of which comes up in the first few links of google results for various starseed-related searches). I don't really have any spectacular resources that have all this information in one place, but it's not hard to turn up with a little searching.
