An introduction, and some label explainations

[clumpywoods]

 Hey there, I'm clumpy. I'm 17, from the UK, my pronouns are they/he/hx/rider, and I'm transmasc nonbinary, marsic aroace, and alterhuman, more specifically psychological fictionkin, and my kintype is Parado from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, who is in my pfp for context. I also identify with demihuman, and vidarian.

In terms of my alterhuman labels, here's a brief explanation of each of them, if you're new to this kind of stuff:

Fictionkin is where you identify partially or fully as a fictional character or species, either spiritually, or psychologically. For me, I identify as fictionkin I think primarily due to trauma, however I'll explain more about my alterhumanity's origins in later posts. This isn't the same as just relating to a character, which you might see the term kin misused for (these people are called kin for fun, and aren't considered alterhuman).

Demihuman is where someone considers themselves partially human, due to having lost their connection to humanity, or similar. For me, I don't identify as nonhuman, as my fictotype is still close to humanity, but I'm not just human, so that's why I consider myself alterhuman but not nonhuman.

Vidarian is where someone gains an alterhuman identity in this life, such as through trauma (in my case), voluntarily gaining an identity through linking, gaining an identity though a spiritual practice or religion, and for other reasons. It was coined by julietianboy on tumblr, and you can check out the coining post here: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/julietianboy/681385652244398080?source=share

 

Still, I hope this acts as a good intro post, I hope I'll see you around soon.
