welcome to my kin list. this is a judgement free zone. kinning has died out over the past few years but i dont give a damn. kinning means something differently for everyone but it always has one thing in common: a character someone really identifies with.
for me, kinning is characters who have helped me accept facets of myself and the many aspects of my being. i have a lot of insecurity issues and struggle with self hatred and self doubt. these guys really help me cope with that and come to terms with who i am.
of course, because of this, i ask you of you, do not tell me you kin any of these characters. i have a very sensitive mind and get really easily upset and possessive over the things i like. these characters tend to be the ones im the most possessive over. you can still interact, i just do NOT need to know you kin any of these guys. it will greatly impact my mood and upset me.

jay merrick
(marble hornets)
jay has been my main kin since i first saw marble hornets in 2021. he means a great deal to me and i still cant see him without seeing myself and who i am. he helped me embrace parts of myself that i often ignored or didnt notice. he has helped me come to love aspects of myself when most times i find it difficult.
seriously, if you kin this guy, do not talk to me. i dont need to know. hes way too personal to me.

dante hicks (clerks)
more recent, but a really strong one. i love dante so much and i saw myself in him on first watch. hes already made me really appreciate and enjoy aspects of myself and even my boyfriend agreed he was a lot like me...i love this guy. his character arc aligns so well with the way i am and how i operate.

rob gordon
(high fidelity)
if you havent noticed already, i see myself in cowardly and meager men. rob has a lot of aspects of myself that are negative, and its really cathartic to have an outlet like him to really recognize those parts of myself. his gender expression is also how i wish i could express my own. and he loves music and has a huge record collection and a record store!

sherlock holmes (bbc)
sherlock is the closest a character comes to really exhibiting the exact way i struggle with my mental issues like autism and ocd. his tendency to snap and put himself above others out of insecurity. i sadly relate. i love him more than words can describe and hes so validating to see on screen.

lane myer
(better off dead)
i have to wonder if ive kinned lane since i was a toddler, lol. lane has been my favorite movie character since i was a kid, and as ive gotten older more and more have i begun to mirror him. im ridiculously unlucky, and too meager to really make anything in my life better and in some ways its out of my control completely. lane's struggles in better off dead are really similar to the ones ive had throughout my own teenage life.

winslow leach
(phantom of the paradise)
i love winslow. theatrically tragic and a deep passion and possessiveness over his own creations, i see myself in that so much. hes so loving and so quick to trust, but so aggressive when hes wronged. so direct and so righteous. i align with that a lot.

q (star trek)
im absurdly in love with q. i have been since i first saw star trek. his capricious nature and quickness to fall to insecurity after setbacks mirrors me greatly. i think over time ive gotten better about teasing others without thinking, but it was something i struggled with a lot as a kid. these days i still have a kind of Jokesters Spirit thats similar to his. i am foolsparadise, after all. his behavior in q who? i think is the closest he gets to me. but all of his episodes have parts where i see myself.

the narrator
(fight club)
i will probably end up like him in my adult hood if i ever become independant. operating on auto pilot and having complete disregard and thoughtlessness to the rest of his world, being so apathetic and so empty about everything he has that he creates a manifestation against it. hopefully i never create my own tyler durden, lol. his endless cynicism and jaded attitude is how ive felt for so long. we both rely on mindlessness so we dont have to hear our own thoughts.

leonard mccoy
(star trek)
we all have a grumpy old man inside us, and this one is mine. so righteous, so stuck in his ways, so confident in himself to the point that he'd lash out and critique others if they ever disagreed or went against his personal status quo. but underneath all of it, overly attentive and loving and all consumed with the wellbeing of others.

usopp (one piece)
ive kinned usopp since i was 11 years old. i still see myself within him to absurd degrees. i dont care for anime much anymore at all and one piece isnt top of my list for things i love, but usopp is still so close to my heart and pivotal to my being. he inspires me to be bigger than i really am and to have courage in moments of uncertainty. his character reassures me that ill always make it, even if im alone.

ernie (sesame street)
i find a great deal of comfort within sesame street and in some of the worst times in my life it was there to comfort me and bring me down from moments of fear and uncertainty. i see a lot of the whimsy i try to keep with me in ernie. he has the same free spirit i feel has always been inside me and he represents a younger part of myself that will never die.

nights (into dreams)
perhaps more vibes based, nights is the optimistic and hopeful facet of me i think. the determination i still manage to have after all this time, the last bit of morale left in me thats keeping me running. the confidence in the back of my mind that despite it all, im gonna be fine.
