is this transphobia/strange or am I overthinking it?

hi, I'm benson. I recently came out to a friend and she was fairly accepting. I got a new phone around the same time and I gave her my number. she added me as a contact with my deadname; when I asked why and reminded her, she said it was for her because otherwise she wouldn't remember who it was.

this made me feel strange because as much as I get it, how would she get used to my new name if she keeps seeing me as my deadname? how could she forget who it is so easily? can't she just check the texts to see if she does forget? I can't tell if I'm overthinking it or if this actually was weird on her part.

I told her I could remind her if she forgets, but she insisted and said it was for her only.

REVERSE AMA #2 (I ask you five questions.)

  1. what's an animal you associate with yourself if you're not already one?

  2. what's a food that makes you euphoric?

  3. do you have any memories you'd like to share?

  4. do any of your pets relate to a kin in any way?

  5. when making a username (or even choosing an actual name), does it relate to your highest kin?

hello, I'm new here.

I browsed the main subreddit for a while and only started posting recently, but I've never interacted with anyone here before. hello, I'm benson, he/him only, and I don't know what else to put in an introduction.

question + sourcecall

does this subreddit have a discord server? if not, does anyone know of any good fictionkin servers?

u/Ok_Work_7227 — 3 months ago

show me your highest kin and I'll assign you a bug.

for anyone curious, I picked a cotton stainer for myself.

I'm going by benson in real life!

I'm going to go by benson in real life now. hooray. I'll probably post some more doodles later today, and if you comment, I might doodle you too (only a couple people, though).

short story, I was telling my therapist about regular show and while reading character summaries, she referred to me as myself. she was saying "looks like you do this" and such. wow!

drawing myself in YOUR outfits! (or as you.)

this subreddit seems pretty great and I'm not very busy right now.

  1. don't make it TOO complex. (genshin level of complex, I mean.)
  2. only the first five people are getting theirself drawn.
  3. it might take the day, but they'll all be replies.
  4. the result might not be great.

REVERSE QNA (I ask you questions.)

  1. if your kin/s is an object or animal, what are your thoughts on the regular version?

  2. what main color are most of your kins if you have multiple?

  3. what's your favorite piece of merchandise from anything?

  4. do you have a collection of anything? if so, what is it?

  5. if you were any animal, what would you be?

a quick sketch I made of my first ever memory. (read below)

I couldn't make it look the same as it does in my head, but this has been popping in a ton and I wanted to quickly sketch it out. I've had kins for years but I'm pretty sure this is my first ever memory. it was almost a kix of 2d and 3d. highly detailed 2d, I think? there were outlines.

sorry to make two posts pretty close to each other (don't want to flood the subreddit or anything) but I wanted to do an AMA since that's what I see a lot of people doing, especially when they're new.

I've been a browser on the subreddit for a while now, but I finally made another account for here specifically. hello, and nice to meet whoever sees this.
