The Badger's Sett

(If you are young and otherkin, I’m not saying don’t do this. In fact, please do. I want an actual idea, not one based on just older kin reblogs. So if you are 12, 13, etc. please add your age anyways! Your age doesn’t make you any less valid.)

tl;dr Fat disabled people exist, and have a legitimate need for access and accommodations. Being mean to fat disabled people for having access needs doesn’t cure their disability. It just makes the world a crueler place. Don’t be a jerk.

Welcome to America.

So my count seems to be two separate sheep (I think sheep) jaw bones, one complete sheep bottom jaw, a whole lower dog jaw (I’m guessing pit bull or pit mix from its shape and their poplarity out here), 5 vertebrae and the tailbone of a small mammal (I am guessing cottontail or jackrabbit from size because it’s too big to be a squirrel’s and I’m guessing it probably isn’t a small dog…) a couple vertebrae from I dunno what, a humerus from I dunno what, and a couple of legbones from something. I have a radius and ulna fused still and a bone that looks like a femur maybe. Oh, and the cow’s horn at the bottom. Good haul in my opinion. Hopefully this next week I can go back and snag the horse scapula I passed. :D

As someone who is both kin/therian and other-hearted, I think you’re absolutely fine, anon. Being honest about being other-hearted is a good thing, and I would ignore anyone saying that you do either community a disservice. I can see where someone might have a strong connection with clouds, and I think it’s an interesting experience.

Im well aware of what being other-hearted is, thank you. And it’s more than just having a bond to something “akin to family.” It can be something you strongly connect to that factors largely into your identity. It can be something you ALMOST are but not quite. I’m fiction-hearted with another canon’s Alice, not because she’s like family to me, but because I relate to her so strongly and I feel like I am so VERY NEARLY fictionkin of her, but I’m not. That doesn’t fit into the definition of other-hearted you just gave, but I’m definitely still other-hearted. Think about it this way: Maybe this person connects a lot with clouds. Maybe they look up at clouds and feel at home, or feel some strong sense of connection to clouds as things that exist. Maybe it’s actually a coping mechanism, too, to identify their deep love of clouds as a ‘hearted thing. It’s not the same as being otherkin where you really can’t choose what you ARE.  But honestly, just because you don’t understand why they feel strongly identified with clouds, doesn’t mean they’re just calling themself that because they “think it’s pretty.” You haven’t even talked to this person about their identity or why they feel this way, so I think you need to stop treating your really narrow view of this subject like it’s fact and like anyone who disagrees with you is stupid.  

Go ahead, unfollow me. I already unfollowed you ages ago because, to be frank, I think you’re a dick. 

You can imply people are “stupid” all you want, @theangrylionshark but jesus christ, it doesn’t take that many brain cells to figure it out on your own, and if you can’t, you might want to stop throwing stones from that pretty glass house of yours.
