talking about my experience as a minecraft fictionkin

post by @creatureheart

mostly just looking for experiences from those who are fictionkin in general, but also more specifically minecraftkin, about how you figured out or came to realise your fictionkin identity

anyone of any strength of identity is welcome to comment or reblog, whether you are 100% your kintype in all ways or simply exist because you just are that thing

just questioning things myself, so want some things to look at to get an idea for myself because doubt and second guessing are annoying and not helpful lol

i have played minecraft since i was 11 years old. ive always felt a connection to it, like i belonged there. i always preferred the exploration gameplay more than any other one, because ive always loved to wander; to watch the world, to change it one block at a time. i would spend hours just exploring (in creative mode, because the mobs were scary to me), entering ancient structures and digging in mines full of treasure and minerals. i remember when they added the End, and later the Nether biomes; it felt as if the world was being shaped into something more familiar, more like “home”. dont get me wrong, minecraft always felt like home no matter the version, but for me every update felt like breathing life into what was previously “just a game”.

as to how i found my kintype, endermen have always been my favourite mobs. they felt relatable, not exactly a “thats me” feeling, more like “bro same”. my personality is just… very enderman, i guess. im very solitary, i hate eye contact, being wet bothers me, i like darker clothes, i hate eye contact, im very silent and sneaky, walking in the dark feels natural to me, i hate eye contact, i have phantom limbs that correspond to my idea of endermen, i have noemata, did i mention that i hate eye contact?

and i think thats it, really. as soon as i started to refer myself as an enderman, everything kind of fell into place. it took a bit to have my instincts and noemata nailed down of course; im still learning. but in general, being an enderman always felt right, i never had to force it. thats how you really know, i think.
