re: autumnwyvern you are SO RIGHT on the money about cronus. my interpretation of him was generally that he opted to be humankin because it was accessible, easy, and made him feel like he fit in and was cool with the rest of his friends (especially with horuss and kankri, i think those were big influences)

but like, yeah he's bullshitting all of this but hes also probably not a troll. hes probably not a human either lol, maybe? but he REALLY seems like he has some unresolved feelings

also, marquice i am getting massive deju vu from your signature banner? i feel like ive seen this take before and i find it really interesting!

putting my thoughts in on callie as the resident obsessed with cherub person: hi okay it makes a lot of sense actually that she specifically kins trolls because

1. she thinks theyre cool as hell (based callie)

2. trolls are feminist*

*ok look this one is definitely up for debate and depends i think but generally alternia seems like it characterizes the female gender as more violent, domineering, dangerous and powerful. gosh! i sure wonder what appeal calliope might see in that role, based off of her circumstances!

caliborn is also otherkin but in like an evil way. idk you know like dnd alignments???? hes evil about it. i cant say why but he is. like he literally made himself a humanoid lordenglishsona and at least sort of became that eventually guys gug gy guys *gets dragged awayscreaming*
