On 'Kin and Language...

I've lived lives where I've spoken languages that I no longer speak, and some languages I spoke which no longer exist. In this life I am bilingual - I speak English and Russian fluently. I have an interest in linguistics and have studied a variety of languages, some in more depth than others, including immersive German learning while living there.

I get memories of past lives where I did not speak English. A prominent example in my mind at the moment is Frodo - we spoke Westron in the Shire, a language which no longer exists in any meaningful way, other than a few select words and phrases from Tolkien's works.

A New Alterhuman Joins DW!

Just another newbie to DreamWidth here. Figuring everything out at the moment, figured I'd post a short introduction to test out making a post here.

I'm Rufus, a young adult from the UK, and I'm a therian and fictionkind. I joined DreamWidth to connect with others like me. I am mainly on Tumblr at the moment, and miss the discussion and introspection-based alterhuman communities, having been active on sites like fictionkin.net when they were around.

My kintypes are spiritual in nature, and a mix of spiritual and psychological when it comes to hearttypes and synpaths. I am a believer in reincarnation, the multiverse theory, and god (which I often know as The Universe), which all tie in closely to my kin identity.

I am polykin, and have perhaps more kintypes than most people would (currently sitting at 8 confirmed ones!). This doesn't bother me however, as I know I take them seriously and know myself better than any stranger on the internet could. Being polykin ties in with my understanding of how and why I reincarnate also.

I'm hoping to find community where these thoughts and feelings can be safely questioned and discussed with like-minded people.
