Honestly, that's pretty fuckin' vague. There's nothing to suggest that anything rapey was going to happen, but nothing that completely rules it out. In the end, I'm just wondering why the fuck those 2 are together. "Opposites attract" is not meant to be taken that literally!

The hell is a "headmate"?
SJW term for a split personality.

You're wrong.  It's an SJW term for an imaginary friend.

An imaginary split personality friend.

What I don't understand is, if these people are going to fake multiple personalities, why do they make shitty ones like a vampire who's afraid of pooping? Go balls out, full on Tyler Durden shit.

It always puzzled me that the species distribution of therians wasn't closer to reality. Like it seems like there's a disproportionate number of wolves and big cats compared to, say, cockroaches.

A bee wouldn't be a bad spirit animal. You could post crap about being a beekin and get all angry about bee rights regarding honey production. Maybe throw in some insectism as well.

Dreamworks already made a movie about that, minus the whole 'bee otherkin' thing.

Speaking vaguely seriously, would bugs even have theoretical souls?  They're closer to organic robots, seems like.

Speaking sillily, I can imagine a tumblr beekin talking about how she finds herself trying to communicate in dance to her family and how they just don't understand.

I do want to point out let's not confuse spirit animal with otherkin or therian. They are completely different. It's like comparing apples to oranges.

A spirit animal, in the real term not the "Oh Tom Hiddleston is my spirit animal" way, is a teacher. A guide. Which isn't at all close to the whole otherkin/therian thing at all.

I am going to be a really big pain in the ass, because this is my pet peeve. Apples and oranges are both see-containing fruit with skins that are somewhat hard, intended to protect them, and are warm colors on the color wheel. Both grow from trees, both are edible, both are sweet, both are made into snacks, juices and various confections. Both are common in still life paintings, and both are healthy foods. Why the fuck are they the go-to for "completely different things"? We can't even say it's from olden times, because, IIRC, "apple" used to mean "fruit". Sorry, the rant's not directed at you, the phrase just really pisses me off.

Apples are temperate climate crops and oranges are sub-tropical. One requires a winter to grow whereas will kill the other. One has a hard tightly adhering skin that is edible while the other has a soft loosely attached skin that is largely inedible. The seeds of one are contained in a central core, the seeds of the other are scattered throughout. Cultivation, pest control, harvesting, processing, and types of products produced bare a passing similarity at best.


The beauty of the saying is that they are broadly similar, you would think that it is possible to compare them -- until you look at the details and realize that they are very different and that while making generalizations is possible making meaningful comparisons is not.

Pest control, harvesting and processing are man-made differences. Naturally, pest control is mostly luck, harvesting is picking it and processing is what your large intestine does. The other ares are minor differences vs. the rest. They're also a similar size, weight and toughness.

It's a decent phrase if used correctly. A lot of people use it to mean "total opposites", when it actually refers to two things that (as Canadian Mojo said) are similar in general, but aren't quite the same thing due to differences in the specifics.

Shane's post if a good example of it being used correctly.
