Introduction
Hello everyone, how are we doing? I'm doing about okay as one can be. I suppose I should get to posting now that I've set everything up.
Name's Leviathan, but you can call me Levi. I also go by other names, but primarily this one is best. I'm 26 years old and I'm from Southeastern USA; although I'm not super cagey about the state, as I probably should be.
I consider myself more of an alterhuman than any other label, but will use otherkin, therian, theriomythic, conceptkin, and fictionkin for reach and attempts at connection in these communities. Their definitions technically fit, but personally I don't really vibe with the labels.
I'm a humble mix of past lives and psychological alterhumanity. I also have my fair share of synpath/-hearted or whatever they're calling it these days (said with affection, of course).
I have a public Instagram, a private one, and this, that is all. My public Instagram is the same username. ^w^
I use official art/photos from my "medias," and photos either I took or got from Unsplash, all with credit. I'm an artist, but for privacy will not be publicly sharing any of my works. I'm also a writer of stories, songs, and poems; there's no doubt I will be posting song lyrics and poetry. I'm also a fan of making moodboards/aesthetics and music playlists.
My journalling capabilities have been on the decline, unfortunately. It's hard to note every shift, and since I have essentially given that up, I struggle to think of things to write about. Perhaps this place will help.
What else is there to say... Hmm, hmm, hmm... I'm not sure! I want to provide an allegiance, of sorts, but that might be best for another post or in my bio. Or not provided at all! We'll have to see what I decide. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not sure how to tag this, either, so let's send it out there.

Welcome! You listed so many kintypes on your profile, what experiences made you figure out you're all of these things? Many of them are fandoms/media rather than entities, are you tagging them as home sources or as concepts or how does that work?
I tag them as home sources! I wasn't sure if I should list who I was in the tags or not, and figured it'd be easier to tag the home source than a name. But then again I could put the name before the home source? Aaahhhhhhh. Decision for future me.
As for the discovery of these great many things, it's because I've known I wasn't human (or, well, fully human?) since I was a tween in this life! So I've tried different labels and explanations for what I experience. I'm always open to learning more about myself, trying to understand myself, and expressing myself. Such as fire conceptkin being the newest discovery! As for the process... I usually just Know. If it feels like looking in a mirror, then I dig deeper into it. I try to let it sit until the "excitement" passes, but I have a good sense of what is and isn't "excitement." I sort of let things come to me rather than searching for it, less stressful that way. I'm also not afraid to admit when I'm wrong, or that something just isn't me, anymore. I used to be more things, different things, and I could very well be more or less and different in the future. But that's the fun of self-discovery, isn't it? ^-^
I see! Not sure what's the appropriate solution, probably whatever you feel best communicates who you are. What experiences led you to identify as the concept of fire, how is it different from a fire elemental, and how does it feel separate from your fire wolf self? When you say you're from minecraft/rats SMP, does that mean you feel like you're a specific character from the narrative or just that minecraft mechanics (vanilla/the rats mod) apply to you?
Sorry for grilling you, there's just many questions floating around my head.
You're not grilling me at all, you're curious! :]
For your fire question, I've actually made a post on my Instagram that I intend to share over here, too, about why I consider myself fire conceptkin. I don't think I considered being an elemental, so perhaps that's something to look into! Not sure how accurate it'd be because it's relatively formless – the most being "masculine" and "feminine" – hence the concept in conceptkin. But I don't shy away from other possibilities, so thank you for that.
As for it being listed as separate from the fire wolf identity, I do consider it an extension of it. But where the fire wolf identity is more masculine and anger, my experience with being fire isn't just that. Which would be getting into the post I plan on transferring over from Instagram, again. ^^"
And now in regards to Rats SMP and Minecraft. I'm a specific character from Rats SMP, which utilizes Minecraft for storytelling. But that isn't the only reason Minecraft is in my tags; there's a book series I read as a teen called The Elementia Chronicles, about three new players joining a Minecraft server. I feel more closely to Minecraft with this identity than with my Rats SMP one because Rats SMP was a heavily modded series, whereas the book series is vanilla.
I hope my answers are sufficient. ^^"
