Diary of a Confused Dragonkin · Jul 25, 2026

Hey! I’m new to the alterhuman community. Although I’ve had this connection to a being and been alterhuman for many years, I only just awakened a few weeks ago. I am fictionkin. I am also worried because my kintype isn’t one of the trending kintypes from the popular sources (not saying these types are invalid! It makes sense as these source media are everywhere that there are more kintypes of them! Everyone is valid and loved!), but instead a I’m very horrible, very evil man. This has worried me, and kept me from entering fictionkin/alterhuman spaces because I know how fandom treated me when I simply said he was my favorite character before I knew the depth of our bond. I worry that, because my kintype is so horrific in source, I should just keep it to myself and not offend others in the community, but it hurts me to think I have to bury this inside forever. Is the community here on tumblr a safe space for people like me? After stalking it for a while I think I’ll be okay here, but I wanted to ask someone who has been a part of it longer then me. You are all loved, valid, and perfect just the way you are! Thanks for your time!
