What Is A Para? I Have Seen The Term A Lot In Madd Circles And Suspect Is Has To Do With Paracosms Yet

What is a para? I have seen the term a lot in madd circles and suspect is has to do with paracosms yet people use the term to refer to what seem to be like character/ ocs like an entity? What does it mean. Could u break down the common used terms in the madd community and perhaps some other kin things or give links or find where I might find information? -from someone who also has madd

Sure, with pleasure!

In short, a para is a character in your daydream. If I recall correctly, the term was created because "oc" didn't feel fitting, as madders often spend a lot of time daydreaming, and therefore most have a special bond with their characters.

As for some other madd terms, well! (in very simple terms once again)

A paracosm is a world/storyline you daydream about!

You might also find the terms immersive daydreamer and neuronarrator around. Those are terms for vivid daydreamers who's daydreams aren't maladaptive.

A parame is the "main character" of your daydream, the one you "fol.low" during.

A paraself is a version of you in your daydream.

For more about all this (more terms, resources,...), i'd like to redirect you to @acircusfullofdemons 's Ultimate Daydreamer's Guide , it's a great resource!

For kin vocab, it's quite large but I can give a few words of info ^^

Fictionkin, fictionfolk and isofic are terms for people who kin a character or pop culture creature.

Objectkin is similarly built: it is a term for people who kin objects.

Conceptkin follows the same pattern: term for people who kin concepts (like chaos, life, death, fear,...)

Otherkin is a word for the comm unity, a bit like alterhuman. It's an umbrella term.

Therians typically refers to people who kin animals existing on this Earth.

Kinsidering is a term reffering to discovering a new kin, thinking about it.

A mental shift refers to when you have a period of time during which you think like your kintype (more so than usual)

A phantom shift refers to a period of time during which you feel your phantom limbs, aka the limbs and body parts your kintype has, but your current form doesn't.

I keep going back and forth between separating the yapping from my main and ufvgubhniebnuifyvb

I think I'll just put everything back here and imaybe reblog my art to a more organised sideblog if I really want to separate it 🤔

So uh, if during the night posts you'd seen here previously or only on @ceps-pers move here, let's pretend it's normal 👍

Will probably keep the blog for straight up yapping (like this) and have the rest here, cause I don't want it to go unused tbh (or if somebody has another idea of what I could do with it I'll take it tbh-)

HEY! Want to help my research?

HEY! Want To Help My Research?

I won’t go too much into why I need this information but presuming you’re on tumblr I assume you’ll be happy to share - please answer some basic questions about your identity and existence! If you do, you’ll get a very big thanks from me :3 like a question game !!

Feel free to write it as detailed as you want but I deeply appreciate if you would be precise!

It goes as follows:

What sort of animal would you be and why?

What’s your stance on society/humanity? Have you ever had people bring you down, wether it be directly or indirectly?

We’re you ever ostracised as a child from communities or gatherings?

What’s your preferred way to spend some time to recharge, and when do you usually do it. (Bonus, does it actually leave you happy and content?)

Do you have trouble understanding your thoughts?

What are your core beliefs/principles to live by?

Do you consider yourself a good person?

How often do you think on mortality/the future and what it holds? Does it leave you scared or worried?

Are you currently content with your living situation.

Do you have a steady flow of finances / are you satisfied with how much you currently have and/or your job?

What’s your favourite food and why?

Would you like a pet? Any pet. Explain.

What’s your stance on anything sexual?

Do you find relationships necessary (personally to you)?

Have you ever thought that there may be some sort of other force or creature, wether it be something tangible or something divine, watching you? Does it leave you feeling uncomfortable?

Where do you feel safe?

Do you think other people are you the way you want to be seen? How do you want to be seen?

Have you come to terms with what you physically look and sound like? (Mirror, pictures, video, audio) Does it in any way comply with what you like?

What’s your preferable way to dress?

In a store, what aisle do you go to?

How would you respond to a crying child in your care?

How would you deal with a misbehaving dog in your care?

What differences are there, in your eyes, between human and animals?

If you could live in an isolated forest, far from any city, and surrounded by animals and nature but with no way to return - would you?

Would you be willing to transform into some sort of animal or creature, permenantly, and are there any preferences or worries you have regarding it?

Where would you like to live?

Do you yearn for something unobtainable?

Have you met the person you consider to be “the one”? This can be platonic (like a good friend), romantic, or anything else. Can even be an animal.

Do you hold any strange emotions or feelings or even memories that don’t seem to be yours? Do you know any place you could have seen it (online or real life) or why they may have formed?

How has being in school affected you?

How has work affected you? (if you don’t work, feel free to skip) mentally, physically, any way.

Do you have any hobbies and what do they mean to you?

Have you ever had some unexplainable pull to do something?

Are you supportive of people with different ideologies or opinions as you?

Do you think it’s possible to get every single person to have the same level of freedom and education and understanding?

What does the universe/world/‘god’ mean to you?

How often do you exist in nature and truly get a hold on it?

What things does existing invoke in you, how do you feel when consciousness, are there any primary functions that are more prominent than others? Do you have any specific thoughts about life? Do you feel aware of a certain taste your life has?

Do you believe in fate/destiny, do you have any experiences which prove that fate, and do you think it has good plans for you?

How do you respond to being hurt by another person? (Verbally or physically)

Do you think there’s any ulterior purpose for us being alive, and do you have any idea of what you are meant to do? (Specifically you)

Have you had any paranormal experiences, and do you share them with others?

Do you believe yourself? What sort of personality would you say you have?

Did your parents treat you well?

What are your primary skills and how well do you know them?

Can you plan, and do you stick to those plans?

Do you dream in colour?

Do you think in images, words, audio, or energy? Or a mixture?

Do you remember dreams and how detailed are they?

What sort of activities do you and your family do together?

Do you have intuition/gut feeling and has it ever been scarily right?

What commonly known or said things do you hate or stand against?

It’s so great to see anothe polymorph/shapeshifter who also has MaDD (I think the term for those is Xenreve if I’m not mistaken?)

May I ask about your kin experience while also having MaDD?

I don't know, maybe? To be fair I didn't know there was a term for that-

I'll look into it though, so if anyone has links-

It's a bit special, because I'm pretty sure I was a dog therian before anything else, but now it's shifted to being my main form as a shapeshifter.

I've daydreamed for as long as I can remember, and I don't mean the normal amount obviously: it's always been, and still is, a coping mechanism for me, dare I say the one I default too (art is a close second though, and I often mi the two).

As a note, my daydreaming hasn't been maladaptive for the last few years, but I still say I have madd. It's chronic the way I see it: if I'm not careful, it could become pathological again. Now i don't have to be careful all the time, but when I feel particularly bad I have to consciously use other ways to cope along with daydreaming, otherwise it still has a tendency to take over.

I like saying that until a few years back, I was fully living in my head. I had pretty much no life outside of my daydreams. And living fully in your daydreams for that long has had some interesting effects on my psyche and identity.

I've come to realise that I lived through my paraself because of multiple reasons, the main one being masking and being terrified to stop.

I mask way less now, and that's led to me feeling like my paraself, except reverse isekai'd: I barely have any memories outside of my daydreams until the years I "got out of my head", so it feels like being dropped from my world, the one I lived in 95% of the time, into this one.

Since my world is very much full of magic, there's a lot that didn't quite transfer to this body.

In source, I'm a shapeshifter. My constels and main forms are linked to this too: they're the forms I liked to take the most and the things I was and/or related to.

Now I also used to have magic. I could heal with it and create illusions. (I could also bend the elements a bit, but healing and illusions were my main ones).

I discovered earlier in childhood here witchcraft and forms of healing, and I've edged around it for a while (the healing methods, I've been practising witchcraft in this verse ever since I discovered it), but this year I've started learning to heal! It's not quite how it worked for me, but it's similar enough that it makes me really happy to be able to do so again.

For the illusion part, I've found performance arts the closest thing to it. I used to incorporate my magic into my art a lot, and I feel very connected to Everything when I'm performing, it's really euphoric.

That's all I can think about for now ahah, but I might reblog this with additions if I think of any ^^

In any case, thank you so much for the ask anon!! I love yapping and this was such an interesting and lovely question to answer <3
