 Blood
|
 |
|
I have a rather odd question about donating blood. When you are a otherkin should you donate blood? Is our blood different and is it safe to donate? what will happen to the person who recieves the blood of a otherkin? Will they become a otherkin themselfs? Will they stay the same as they used to be? Or will they develop some of the traits from the otherkin doner? What happens if a otherkin recieves non-otherkin blood? What happens if a otherkin recives another otherkins blood? Sorry, that's more than one question. Once a start asking questions it's hard to stop.

What makes you think that our blood is any different from the blood of others (otherkin or not)?
I see no reason to not donate blood, the only thing that could possibly be different is if you practised energy and maybe the blood might contain those... but even then, that wouldn't affect others who take that blood (as long as I know of) and it is the same risk for energy users who are not 'kin.
Also, otherkin is not a physical trait, they will not "become otherkin"
In summary, blood, from an otherkin or not, is the same. We are all human in this life.

I don't mean physical traits, I am talking more on the mental plane.

Yes, but you are still talking about donating a physical substance (Unless I am mistaken).
For turning one into otherkin, I can't even remote imagine how that would be possible, though it truly depends on your definition of 'kin. 'Kin are considered either pastlives or based on the structure of your own energy (most commonly, in my experiences). There is no way that your pastlife could be affected, and even if your blood did have concentrated energy, if would never be enough to affect an entire energy structure.
For affecting the person, as I said, even if it's containing energy, it would not be enough to affect someone. Even if it did, it would do more good than bad. This risk affects all energy users, as well, not simply otherkin. Remember, otherkin are not much different from anyone else. As was said in another thread on this forum (twice), we may just have more insight. Other than that, we're the same as everyone else.
I wasn't sure what you meant exactly by mental plane, so my comments were focused on what I assumed you meant, energy. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I personally highly doubt that donating blood will have any effect on the person who receives it at all. We are, after all, human at the moment, and would be donating blood to other humans.

Well being otherkin is a state of one's energy/soul...our bodies are 100% human. So the only adverse effects would be if there's anything wrong with you health wise. Being otherkin has nothing to do with it.

Actually Archer, I think Thunder was asking these questions genuinely.
Blood contains energy, it contains life energy or core energy. Which is one reason why many vampirekin feed on blood. But, your blood doesn't make you who are, and it certainly has very little to do with whether you're otherkin or not (unless you claim to be genetic kin, such as some elves, weres and fae). As far as I understand it you can not make someone otherkin by donating blood, because being otherkin is not a blood thing, it is a spirit/soul thing.
I think, if you have a different kind of energy in your system, your blood will contain some of that energy, because it comes from your body. But, honestly, the process that blood goes through before being used in medicine is so intensive, I doubt much energy would be left in it before it reaches another person to affect them.
I personally have an unusual energy in my physical system, which is on occasion incompatible with other people. The one time I have donated blood, I was worried that my energy would hurt someone. So, I simply filtered out all of my personal energy from this blood as it was being taken so that there was absolutely no chance of my odd energy affecting the receiver of that blood negatively. In fact, I seem to remember I reiki'd the blood as well, so that if any energy did make it to the receiver, it would be good healing energy.
I honestly don't think you should worry about giving blood. Most importantly, as far as I understand it you can't "give" otherkin-ness to someone else through blood. Just as you can't make their eyes change colour by giving blood. Being otherkin is something inherent in the person, not a trait that can be passed on.

Sorry, I am not always that specific in my questions. What I mean is it possible that a person who recieves blood from a otherkin possibly temporarily have mental traits or gifts like the otherkin doner? Like if the otherkin could hear unusually well or can pick up on emotions really well would that be passed over for a short time? I read that sometime blood recipiants temporarily pick up traits of the doner. Like if the doner enjoys rare steak then the recipiant might want a rare steak instead of having their steak well done like they would normally perfer it.

No, otherkin aren't all that special. Nope, you can't affect someone with your blood.
Yes blood "contains" vital energy but no, not at that high a concentration, it serves more as a "tool" to draw energy in most sanguine vampire donor-vamp relationships.
No, otherin "powers" are not kin only, so no, you can't affect a human being any more than any other human being might be.

Really? Oh my. At least if the degenerative neuropathy takes me soon, I will have less time to drop my jaw in wonder at such things.
Anyway, on the offchance that it isn't a hilarious troll, the answers are as follows, in order:
Yes.
No, yes.
Nothing.
No.
Yes.
No.
Nothing.
Nothing.

Perhaps we shouldn't post responses if we're going to act like a, forgive me for saying this, douchebag.
Really.
Find a different way to amuse yourself.

I agree that it seems these questions are being asked genuinely.
Please refrain from referring to them as the work of a possible troll, as it isn't fair to someone who is seeking answers. If it turns out later on that there was trolling going on we'll deal with it then; but innocent until proven guilty.
Also, Erebus; it doesn't help to continue the actions.
Everyone calm down, I don't want to see a topic get locked because we couldn't hold our tongues.

I'm not a troll. My spirit is a thunderbird. Unless I am mad or there is danger, then it's a white tiger. I just have a lot of questions.

The term "troll" is a form of internet slang. No one was questioning your identity: just whether your inqueries were genuine, or not. There's nothing wrong with what you asked. There are just a lot of views that are associated with it.
You should be able to satisfy most any appropriate curiosity that you have, and feel comfortable doing so in a forum such as this one. There are a lot of souls who are keen, and helpful.
I would advise you to simply overlook the ones who are not.
