About Save the Dave (written by Akira)
Save the Dave is a Recolle Wildlife Fund to save our one and only unicorn in a human vessel, Dave Strider. Dave is a rare creature that is capable of time travel and bringing over 6 entrees to one’s table. He is also melodic, capable of playing a whole orchestra on his own. Born cool, he is one of the last that wear shades indoors and at night. With whatever amount you choose to donate, even a penny, we can keep our Dave Strider happy in Recolle with some apple juice boxes and loving support.

his ears be blessed, the dave listens. the dave snaps pics so sicknasty he directed pocketman snap before y’all were born. the dave spits heinous rhythm so hot that hell wants to take a permanent vacation like yo hold onto my sinners but the dave be like, sorry lucifer i’m on holy bail and just explodifies the whole damn underworld with a 5sec staredown. he don’t even gotta die for your sins homies, the dave lives on in a single finger gun. and muchachos, el besotea bien ;o) 👌 👌👌

if you think about it, we're kin with our past selves.

I am strongly opposed to this idea.

Stop.

Please no

Was this necessary?

That's a thought I could've lived happily without.

isn't that the textbook definition of otherkin anyway?!

I don’t get it

[OH NO....]

It's...

Maybe it's better you don't know, Eren.

Is this an inside joke

No, not really
It's...it's something from the internet?

so it’s a meme.

nm i think i got it.

😔💨

it’s like the furry thing, right?

Yeah.
Except they're convinced they are the animal instead of just....
Really really liking them.

only these things come from the internet.
i think i need a break.

I tried to warn you...

next time something like this comes up, just say eren no. i’ll remember why.

to put it simply, think of it as reincarnation.

except kinning encompasses more than possible real people in your past life. people go so far as to kin fictional characters and celebrities, believing that they are that person. for example, someone can kin with the main character from Pacific Edge, believing that they are actually that character reincarnated though the character does not exist.

i hope this is somewhat helpful.

fictional characters aside then you know you’re sort of right.
why is everyone upset

because “otherkin” as a term has a rather bad reputation. some people that seriously use the term become obsessive... like they don’t want other people cosplaying the character they kin with or people putting up official artwork of that character. depending on the individual, it involves harassment as they feel entitled to their kin identity even if it isn’t necessarily a defining piece that has heavy impact on their life. it has little to do with the term and belief, but it certainly attracts people who want to be better than themselves aside from firm believers of reincarnation.

there’s an obvious line between struggles in identity we face as Retrospec users and believing you are Justin Bieber. otherkin generally encompasses the latter which may include speaking for Justin Bieber, telling people to stop posting pictures of Justin Bieber without permission, taking insults to Justin Bieber seriously, then taking Justin Bieber’s actions as your own, etc.

to say we’re otherkin, while true by its definition, means we’re affiliated with a group of people who sometimes loses touch with reality in their beliefs.

there’s another definition for that

maybe Elliot's right.

you don't need to know.

i didn’t.
thanks a lot.
