flyboy_foxOh, it's 3am. Time for another post-I-really-shouldn't-make-but-screw-it. SoS update to come later.
I suppose I need a little advice. I'm wondering if I should make a fictionkin (otakukin >_>) filter for my journal. Now, see, I haven't in the past because I rarely talk about fic'kin stuff. What you see is what you get - I never lock my posts unless I'm sharing personal contact details etc. So yeah, I just really don't talk about fic'kin related things because I guess mostly there's no reason to. It's not that important. But then occasionally I get the urge to make a post dealing with fic'kin stuff. Usually after something has inspired me or impressed something upon me and I want to share my thoughts and feelings from a fic'kin perspective rather than in 3rd person. But I admit that most often these days I just don't type it up because I'm nervous of a few things.
Firstly, I don't like to make my friendslist uncomfortable >.> I know many of you already think I'm batshit insane for various reasons, and so yeah XD
Secondly, I'm, well, more well-known now than I used to be when I posted more openly about fic'kin stuff ^^; I don't mean that in an egotistical way at all. I'm not suddenly super-popular or anything, but I am quite well known in certain online circles just because I'm a moderator at =SSMB= or a Summer of Sonic staffer or I just post a lot in various Sonic-themed places ^^; So, people have friended me from a variety of different sources. Do I really want to scare all of them off? *Chin scratch* Hmmm...
Thirdly, naturally I know that posting said 'kin stuff makes my journal an automatic troll magnet. In the absence of batshit posts, troll comments have died down quite significantly. This is good. While trolls don't bother me on a personal level, they do disrupt the flow of things in comments, and I hate to cause a scene. I also don't want any of my friends to get trolled for sticking up for, or merely associating with, me XD;
But even with all that said and done, I'm not one to hide. While I naturally do question my crazy beliefs and accept that they are gonna sound crazy and may well be easily explained away, I'm not ashamed of them. I'm neither proud nor ashamed... it's just one part of me. I don't feel like I should have to keep that back if I wanna use my journal to occasionally talk about it.
So I suppose the question is, should I make a filter for fic'kin entries? Would you be bothered by it if I posted them openly? Did you even know I identify as fic'kin? XD And if I did make a filter, would you want to be on it?
(BTW, for anyone going "WTF?", an explanation: Fic'kin believe that the worlds portrayed in fictional media are real and that they are, or were, someone from that world. Due to this level of insanity, they are looked down upon even by otherkin :< REPRESENT. [And I'm normally so logical...])
