Basically just a bunch of terms I think would be fun to have lol 1. Fixlink Associated terms: Fixlinker (the one forming a Fixlink), Fixtype (the species/character your Fixlink is), Fixkin (the next term) Fixlink, the prefix being a shortened version of 'fixate' or 'hyperfixate', revolves around those two terms. Fixlinks are people who accidentally form an Otherlink of one (1) or more creature because of a hyperfixation. The process is mostly one of subconsciously turning "I want to be this but I'm not", into "Maybe I am" into "I am now". The Fixtype goes away when the hyperfixation ends, and can be replaced by another or discarded entirely. It works in the same way as any other Otherlink would, with you wanting to become that creature, and slowly (or less slowly depending on who you are) beginning to identify as it. A Fixlink's reasoning can be something like a hyperfixation on Wings of Fire and becoming Peril, or a hyperfixation on Alterhumanity and becoming a seal, or really any hyperfixation. For example, a Warrior Cats fan's favourite character is Hollyleaf, and really wants to be like Hollyleaf. So, they read all the Hollyleaf books and, because of their desire, they subconsciously form an Otherlink. The Hollyleaf Fixlinker finds everything that the two share, forming an internal connection of self and Hollyleaf. This association leads the link to form. Key details: unintentional but voluntary; based on a hyperfixation; temporary, unless you become a Fixkin "But what if a Fixtype doesn't leave?" Look below! 2. Fixkin Associated terms: Fixlink (the above term), Fixtype (same as above, can be used for Fixkin or Fixlink) This term is similar to Fixlink, but with one big difference: their Fixtype stays after the hyperfixation finishes. So that Warrior Cats fan from earlier? Well, the Hollyleaf Fixtype could either fade away as the Fixlinker loses interest in Warrior Cats, in which case they drop that Fixtype, or can remain, becoming an integral part of their identity, similar to Choicekin. So, that Hollyleaf Fixlinker is no longer a Fixlinker, and instead a Fixkin. 3. Cladospirit Associated terms: spiritpack of __(the term for your group of species), __pack (alternate term) Cladospirit, mentioned in an earlier project that got like no views, refers to someone identifying as and with a whole group of species. In order to be a Cladospirit, you must be a Therian/Otherkin/Fictionkin of one (1) or more animals in a certain group, be an Otherheart of another (or multiple other) animal(s) in that same group, and an Otherlink or Otherpaw of the rest. For example, a Tabby Cat Therian, who is also a Calico Cat Otherheart, decides to be an Otherpaw of all other house cats. That person is now, if they use the term, a Cladospirit with a spiritpack of cats, or a catpack. (Not a felinepack though). I will add more soon, as I think of them! Feel free to drop ideas in the comments; I’ll look them up and see if I can find them. If not, I’ll add them to this project, which will mean I can coin them on your behalf. I will credit you for the ideas, of course. Form: Term name - What it is - Symbol idea - Your username (with @) The term name and symbol idea can be left blank if you want, it is your choice.
List of to-be-added terms: Term - What it is - Symbol idea - Who suggested it Ex. Fixkin - Someone who unconsciously forms an Otherlink with the reason of a hyperfixaton, then it becomes permanent like Choicekin - A target kind of thing with the Theta-Delta sort of - @ischiefMistcat
