Stolen how? Like their appearance? Cause thereās only a handful of face presets, hair and clothing options so thereās going to be at least some physical similarities with the vast majority of Tavs.
Can someone steal the concept of your Tav? I mean, I guess someone could make a human wild magic sorcerer Tav named Borgan whoās also part illithid and grew up in a restrictive cult but likeā¦I donāt think anyone is doing that and I really wouldnāt care that much if they were. It doesnāt affect what Iām doing on my blog at all.
Unless it was made with the intent to like, mock me which would make me feel bad, I suppose. I would just block them and move on.
I actually think itās a good thing people feel inspired by others creations, weāre all making stories from the same source material in our free time for fun, and trying to claim ownership over ideas or headcanons makes a fandom real unfun, real fast. Iāve seen it happen many times.
If someone is that worried about oc theft the actual solution would be never to post anything public at all, and thatās no fun.

Hello! Iām very new to otherkin and such. And Iām sorry for bothering you, but, can you tell me what kin am I? I understand if thatās a lot or not specific. I have always been more different than everyone else. But, please just ignore if you canāt answer! Itās fine I donāt want to bother anyone! Please have a wonderful day/night! šš·š
@mind-full-of-fog-and-flowersāĀ Goodness youāve asked a broad question.Ā We canāt answer this for you, but we can certainly point you in the direction of information that might help.Ā
Iāve compiled some info about what kin is and how to tell below. Just keep in mind that I only reflect one viewpoint on kin, and Iām not an authority on the subject as a whole.
First of all, there are many different categories of kin. Here are just a couple:Ā
Otherkin: identifying strongly with something outside of humanity
Fictionkin: identifying strongly with a fictional character or species
Within these groups there are many sub-categories.
Otherkin can be extremely broad, and usually relates to various spheres from the animal kingdom, fantasy, theology, religion, abstract concepts and more.Ā
Some common otherkin types include wolves, cats, rabbits, aliens of various types, angels of various rank, demons, elves, figures from mythology, dragons, fae, etc. Itās also possible to feel a strong enough connection to concepts to be kin with them, e.g. space, stars, ghosts, or the void.Ā
Fun fact: Tolkien elves are one of the oldest kin communities out there!
Fictionkin is the same concept applied to fiction.
Feeling a strong bond with a fictional character is a fairly common experience, but if you find yourself willing to call yourself by their name, or use pictures of them to represent yourself, you might want to start thinking about how much you identify with them and how.
If you identify as them in any sense, youāre definitely kin to some degree.
A few spicy indicators that you may be kin with something are:
You can be fussy or embarrassed about pictures of them as if they were pictures of yourself
You feel happy or comfortable when other people use their name(s) to refer to you
You feel any kind ofĀ āthatās me!ā response in relation to them (an example of casual kin)
You feel as if you may have been them in a past life (an example of serious kin)
Depending on the kintype, there can sometimes be physical dysphoria involving astral wings, claws, tail, ears, etc
Kin as an experience is what you make it; it can be as serious or as casual as you like.Ā Some people take it very seriously, and some choose not to. Everyoneās comfort levels regarding kin and how they want to feel about it are very different.Ā
As a concept itās very YMMVāYour Mileage May Vary.Ā You get out the same amount of effort that you put in, and not everything has to be your cup of tea.
Kin as a concept can:
Help you explore potential past lives
Help you cope with irl issues, such as when you relate to something elseās experiences and they help you make sense of your own
Help you connect with other people with similar interests or experiences
It can just be for fun
There are a few things that itās generally frowned upon to kin:
Any real, living or dead actual person (this is called factkin ā just donāt)
Fictional personas of actual peopleĀ
And as a final parting note:
We may be kin, but we cannot physically transform or change shape in this life, and anyone who claims to be able to is bullshitting you
Weāre not oppressed just because weāre kin
Donāt date people just because of a kintype. Even if youāre both reincarnations of former soulmates, you wonāt be exactly the same, just get to know them first? Common sense here
Be careful about co-opting system terminology when talking about your kintypes. Words that may seem attractive like āheadspaceā or āsystem-matesā are terms that donāt belong to our community, and unless you also have dissociative identity disorder itās best to respect their original use!
