Insanely peak shopping haul today!

Insanely peak shopping haul today!

Genuinely so damn happy today!!! One thing I don’t really talk about but’s lowkey kind of nice is that I really like Miku (like, SHES JUST SO PRETTY!!) and I’m SO damn happy with the stuff I’ve got. A nearby store to me ended up selling this gorgeous Miku figure and these really cute blind bags (I also really wanted to get a snow Miku figure that was an option in the blind bags but I’m still so happy with the two that I got anyway)
Alongside this I also got some chocolate for the hot chocolate machine that I own, and some manga alongside a butterfly charm for a necklace + a chain for a bag charm!

Either way, I’ve absolutely loved today, it was so cool to find the figurines and get some manga too 😊 (also, sorry if this is the wrong flair, I had no idea which one to use lol)

I can’t get this memory out of my head and I want to cry

One of my highest kins is 049. Cool. Great. One of my favourite characters from the SCP Foundation. But I swear I remember my time as him before I was taken into the Foundation. I remember the pain I was in. I remember stumbling through unrecognisable streets while people stared at me like I was fucking crazy. I don’t want to think about it but I can’t get that damned image out of my head.

I had a dream a long while ago that PERFECTLY matches up with this memory too. I couldn’t see myself. I was barely focused. Laughing. I don’t know at what. I think it turned into screaming and crying eventually, but I don’t know if it was me that was crying or someone else. People stared. They pointed. Glaring at me. I didn’t recognise where I was and I didn’t think I would’ve been able to even if I had looked up properly. A few people tried to catch me. Tried to get closer. But others held them back.

I couldn’t feel my face. Which I think was probably the most horrible part. Considering I remember that my mask was apart of my face. It wasn’t a mask. It was just me. And I couldn’t fucking feel it in that dream.

I still get phantom feelings sometimes. Today they’ve come and gone quite a lot. Like the mask is still there but it isn’t and I know it isn’t. I genuinely feel like crying over all of this. It’s overwhelming getting those really bad memories. It feels like hell. I hope I forget again eventually. But I don’t know if I can this time.

If my mother wasn’t strict and judgemental then I’d probably make a mask that’s similar to what I remember and what I feel. It would probably help. But I know I can’t while I’m still in the situation that I am. And that sucks so fucking badly. It just makes it all the more horrible and frustratingly exhausting.

I really wish I could forget that specific memory. Most of the other memories aren’t as bad. But this one: being stared at and laughed at and being stuck in a place that I didn’t recognise and feeling alone and in absolutely horrible pain. This one has gone too far. This just hurts. I don’t usually talk about the bad memories (I’ve made that pretty clear though) but this one I really felt like I couldn’t keep internalised. I just felt like dumping it out for once so I can hopefully move on and carry on as I am.

I’m sorry if this is all worded weirdly or if the grammar is off, my mind is in so many places at once and I’m writing this on the verge of crying so once again, I’m sorry if this all comes across weird or repetitive, that’s not my intention.

Another kinfirm

I was kind of hoping that I wouldn’t kinfirm Dorian honestly, but I suppose it’s good to just put that whole thing to rest.
Other than that, I don’t condone any actions taken by him in the slightest (from the memories that I do have, I believe that I might be heavily canon divergent, but it still sucks regardless). I’ll probably make a profile for him on my pronouns.cc (which hopefully works now) and see what I can do to update my pronouns.cc a little more to make it slightly less plain.)

Currently shifted as 049, AMA

I have about an hour and a half before I have to go to bed and have no idea what to do, so ask me just about anything (I really don’t mind!) (doubles: IWC)

My mother’s forcing me to wear a dress and IM FUCKING DONE WITH THIS SHIT

trigger warning for brief mentions of violent thoughts. None were acted upon.

Im a trans man. Specifically boyflux. My mother is transphobic. For the past week she has been trying to force me to wear dresses (buying me them, constantly saying ‘oh you should get this one, it’s so pretty’, etc.) and now it’s going too fucking far again. This isn’t the first time she’s done this. Last time ended in me, on one day that she was out, crying uncontrollably for nearly half an hour on the verge of a fucking breakdown.
The dress is pretty. Sure. It’s a nice blue colour that reminds me of Sophia from Lies of P (my main special interest) (this being the only good thing at all about any of this) and the fabric is really comfortable. But wearing it makes me feel genuinely so fucking sick and I can’t cope.

She brought it today. It looks nearly identical to the kind she wears often. It only made it so much worse. She keeps saying ‘but you can’t be comfortable in those trousers that you wear all the time, you must be so hot’. NO. FOR FUCKS SAKE, I KEEP TELLING HER THAT IM FINE! I WALKED IN ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE HEAT THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS AT COLLEGE FOR THE VERY FIRST FUCKING TIME IN TROUSERS AND I WAS PERFECTLY FUCKING FINE

I can’t cope with this right now. I really can’t. Im already dealing with too fucking much. Even just trying to prepare for college. I can’t wear that damned dress. I just can’t. But she won’t stop and it makes me want to cry. I don’t understand why she can’t just accept me as her son. I’m not a girl. I’m NOT A FUCKING GIRL AND NEVER WILL BE

I wish I was born a boy. I wish I didn’t have to wear outfits that make me want to tear my skin off. I just want to be happy.

I know this sounds pathetic. I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal. But holy fucking hell it is. It really is to me. I feel so sick. I can’t handle this. I hate this part of being trans sometimes. I wish I wasn’t born into a transphobic household.

How do I dress like myself

Only just kinfirmed him, though he’s been a kinsider for far too long. I’m going to start college soon and I really want to dress more like him, however I don’t want to wear anything that’ll have people staring at me like I’m weird (and I really don’t want to be dying in the heat either-I’m the the uk and this heatwave is hell-so I’m trying to find stuff that isn’t going to absolutely roast me alive😅). I’m wondering what advice people can give!! (Also, I’m sorry if it’s like really obvious or something and I’m just not realising it lol)

Another kinfirm

I SWEAR IF I KINFIRM ANOTHER CHARACTER IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, IM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND 😭😭

No but seriously though, I’m not that mad about kinfirming 049. I used to be heavily fixated on the SCP Foundation when I was younger, so it’s kind of nice to kinfirm one of my favourite SCPs (though the memories are shit and genuinely make me want to be sick sometimes, but oh well). Either way, I’ll be updating my pronouns.cc once again to incorporate him and I might (as time goes on) add in some details about memories and stuff onto each profile for my kins, though I’m not sure if I want to do that yet or not.

Anyway, a little update on my stance on doubles (like I said I would the last time I kinfirmed a character): I think I’m slowly getting to the point where I’m more comfortable with them. I put interact with caution in my flair just for now (it might stay that way honestly). I apologise if it comes across as rude whatsoever, that is not my intention.

A memory that I have as Sherlock

Sherlock is probably the main kin that I have the most memories for. So far, luckily, not many of them have been bad. I will not be writing about the bad memories that I do have however as I don’t wish to repeat them (due to the majority of them making me feel severely physically nauseous.)

However, I’ll just write about one of the most recent memories that I had:

It was a fairly rainy day. Lestrade hadn’t come back with a new case yet, so of course, that pissed me off. So instead, I decided to play the violin instead. It was nice and all, annoyed the hell out of John—which was even funnier of course. Beyond that though, if anything else, it was nice for once not to have to bother with my brother annoying me (his typical methods were usually calling me out of absolutely fucking nowhere or showing up unannounced to the flat—his favourite method out of the two) or have the threat of Moriarty’s influence hanging over my head every second. Throughout the rest of the day, I played the violin and shot the wall at least once—much to the dismay of John, who did end up locking the gun in his room to stop me for the next day or two, I did find a way to unlock the cabinet regardless

It was a somewhat short, but definitely welcome memory. I like the majority of the memories I do get anyway. Sure, minus being bored as hell that day and having little to do in the way of solving any crime that was actually interesting, but other than that, I’ll admit that those quieter days were good. I have other memories from that same day, but I won’t bother writing out a major amount here (I simply don’t have the energy right now).

So yeah, that’s as much as I’ll write for now. I might post about another memory at some point, but for now, that was it 👍

My ita bag has finally arrived early!!

Oh my god, it looks so pretty I am so genuinely excited, I’m literally loosing my mind!!!!!! So, the date for the arrival of my bag got pushed way back but all of a sudden it lowkey appeared today and holy hell it’s incredible. The capacity in the bag is INSANELY good and it’ll be so perfect for college for sure!! Also, I’m now working on the layout which I put a few pics of as well! It’s not the final layout, but it’s definitely an idea that I’m going with rn and will be able to change over time! This is just so unreal honestly, being able to make genuine merchandise for my favourite book + game (aka one of my special interests—The Adventures of Pinocchio and Lies of P!!) is what I’ve always wanted to do so being able to FINALLY get an ita bag that I can dedicate to it feels so perfect it’s so hard to describe 😅😅. I’ll update in the comments when it’s all finished! It might take a couple days to properly work on it but omg with the way things are going I’ll be speeding through the process lmao 😊🥰🥰

Also, I’m sorry if this is a little jumbled, I’m just so so happy and excited so my writing may not be as great overall lol, my mind is racing so much lmao

Leaving the server

Hello. I’m very sorry if this is the wrong flair however, as a result of my lack of consistent activity in this subreddit, I feel it is wrong to remain within it. I don’t want to upset anyone and hope to give others a chance to claim the kins that they want in this subreddit. It’s been lovely to post on here. I will be posting more often on the Fictionkin subreddit from now on.
So, of course, I’ll be declaiming the kins I have claimed on this subreddit (they are still my kins, though since I won’t be using this subreddit anymore, its okay that they’re taken off the list 👍
Thank you and goodbye 😊

Is there any existing xenogender relating to puppets/marionettes?

Hello! This is my first post here and I’ve just got a question (which is of course in the title!): is there any existing xenogender relating to puppetry (but more specifically marionettes)? I feel as if my gender in some way aligns with puppets in at least some format however I didn’t want to attempt to coin a new gender if there was already an existing one along the lines of this. Thank you in advance and I’m sorry if this sounds a little scattered or anything, I’m not particularly great at wording posts (also, I have no intention on having this be in bad faith, I’m just curious as to whether there’s a term for this as of this moment!)

Making pin badges for the Ita bag that I’m getting in a few days!

I absolutely adore the original Adventures of Pinocchio novel and Lies of P and I really wanted to make an ita bag based on them!! It’s set to arrive on Saturday so until then I’ve been making pin badges like crazy to fill it up 😅. I’m not entirely sure how large the bag is so I’m hoping this all fits alongside the other pin badges that I’ve got on another bag (+ all the insane amounts of keychains that I’m making!!). I’ll update again when I finally get the bag + how I decorate it!!!

I’m failing at art so badly and it’s horrible.

I’ve been drawing for eleven years (since I was 5) and I’m still so horrible at art it’s insane. I want to do graphic design at college. I want to do well. I love art and hate it at the same time. My art teacher treated me like shit. She was dismissive, rude and made me feel like a burden and it fucking hurts. I just want to love my artwork. And by that I mean my traditional and digital art. This sucks so badly. I jut don’t understand why I can’t be good at it. I know I have to practice, but I have. I’ve practiced for so fucking long and I’m tired. I’m not getting anywhere. I don’t know whether or not to quit. I got new drawing pens for my birthday a few days ago and it genuinely made me want to start crying, I nearly did.
This hurts so much. Nothing about my art is anatomically correct or visually appealing or anything. And no matter how much I try, how much I work, nothing fucking changes. It still looks the exact fucking same as it did last year and it makes me want to tear the pages out. But I can’t. Because every time I’m about to, i look at what I’ve drawn and I just cry instead. I wish I wasn’t so weak. I just want to do well.

Does it always stay like this? Will I ever get better? It’s not even like I’m comparing myself to others, I still practice and focus and all of that shit. As far as I’m aware I’m studying the right stuff. But I don’t know. It all sucks. Art has always been one of my biggest interests in life. I used to love it so much, no matter how bad I was. But now I’m questioning whether or not it’s even the right path in life for me. I might just quit entirely but I don’t know.

My flags!

Got kind of bored and noticed others were doing this too, so I thought I’d join in! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, I really don’t mind ☺️👍

A new kinsider

So, I’m kinsidering Dorian from The Picture of the Dorian Gray. Great. Another one 😭 (seriously, how many kins from classical literature can I POSSIBLY get, first the BBC adaptation of Sherlock and now potentially him omg.), I’ve updated my pronouns.cc with all my kinsiders at the moment (because I literally cannot be bothered to post them all right now until I kinfirm them). But yeah, that’s a little update on that whole thing. Other than that, I’ll make another post on this if I do actually kinfirm him 👍

u/SeniorPrinciple4946 — 28 days ago

Introduction post

Hello, my name is Erin (however I also go by the names of my kins Sherlock and Cesar). On that note, my two kins are Sherlock Holmes (source: BBC series) and Cesar Torres (source: The Mandela Catalogue). Also, my pronouns are he/they/it

I would prefer not to interact with doubles, however that might change in the future depending on how I feel. (I will update this in the comments if that boundary changes.)

I am interested in many things however I will not mention them all here (as that would take far too long and would likely take up an entire paragraph that I don’t feel would be necessary or relevant to mention here. My main interests when it comes to hobbies however are writing, reading, collecting trinkets and playing instruments (I have been learning how to play the guitar, though I wish to get into learning how to play the violin as well).

I’m not sure what else to put so I’ll leave it off here (if I think of anything else I’ll leave it in the comments). It’s nice to meet everyone and I’m looking forward to posting in this subreddit! (I’m mainly on the kin hideout subreddit, however due to exams I cannot post much at the moment 😅)

I miss my friend and brother.

I miss John and Mycroft so fucking much to be honest. I wouldn’t usually admit that (if at all), but regardless, it’s the truth. I regret how I treated John. I should’ve never dismissed him or pushed him away, but of course I just let everything get in the way. Fucking typical. I wish I didn’t have to be so goddamn prideful.
I know i didn’t have the greatest relationship with Mycroft, but I don’t know. I still miss him. Which is probably the dumbest thing ever but oh well. I don’t really care anymore how it comes across, I’m just tired of this crap.
Ive been missing them, especially John, more than usual lately. Probably because stuff is just chaos in my life right now so it all just feels bleak without him. I hate that he’s not here. I just don’t know why I denied it so much. It feels weird being entirely alone. Stupid emotion, it’s ridiculous.
I hate this so much.

Is there any way to figure out how this might have been done?

Hello. I had to cut up this keychain that I made due to reasons I won’t get into (nothing related to the keychain itself). However, I want to remake it. I have tried already but I can’t figure out how it could have been done. I want to know if it’s even possible to replicate it again (if not, then fine, I’m just curious). The original tutorial I followed (as far as I’m aware) was taken down for reasons I don’t know, however I still miss this keychain and do want to attempt to remake it. From what I know, it might have been the peyote stitch, though I’m not entirely sure. This is the only picture I have of the keychain.
Thank you in advance.

Some zines I’ve been making!

Been starting to make zines as of late! Unfortunately I won’t be able to publish or distribute any, but hey, it’s progress! The small one is my first one, having taken me about an hour to make (including trying to figure out how to fold it 😭) and unfortunately it got a little stained for godknows what reason (genuinely, I’m kind of really upset about it, i love it so much) but it’s alright! The larger one is the one I’m working on next! I’ve only done the front cover, and the back cover is practically the same as the first. I might write some poetry in it or do some little doodles, maybe even both! Either way, I love making zines, they’re so fun and genuinely such a nice artistic thing to do. So far, they’ve all either been Pinocchio or Lies of P themed, so, I might carry on with that considering Lies of P and the og Pinocchio are some of my main special interests!!! Once I’m finished with the second one I’ll post it here as well 🥰🥰
