As much as I like op Mary Sues and doing whatever you want, for me, they have to follow the rules of the world to a T, or else there’s not a point in putting them there. I’m so particular in making sure that they can fit in seamlessly, whether they’re in the background or hanging around the main characters. I want them to make sense.

ALTWasim Akram Slams Media and Fans for Linking Him to Arrested Spy With Identical Name
To me otherlinking is a acknowledgement and sort of pride on the path I’d chosen to take with myself. It’s something I made for myself.
It’s making meaning and purpose, but in a identity way.
They are no less precious than things I found that came from within. Art is made after all.

NASA’s Mars 2020 rover is continuing to explore a boundary visible from orbit dividing bright, fractured outcrop from darker, smoother regolith (also known as a contact). The team has called this region “Westport,” (a fitting title, as the rover is exploring the western-most rim of Jezero),…
Seasonal snow plays a significant role in global water and energy cycles, and billions of people worldwide rely on snowmelt for water resources needs, including water supply, hydropower, agriculture, and more. Monitoring snow water equivalent (SWE) is critical for supporting these applications and for mitigating damages caused by snowmelt flooding, avalanches, and other snow-related disasters.…
Linking Satellite Data and Community Knowledge to Advance Alaskan Snow Science

I think in a way, I’m defining the distance.
I say “no, I want this to be something held dear, but it will not come closer to become a linked kintype”. Like slaming a mental barrier that the connection cannot cross? If I’m making sense.
I set the perimeter I want in my head using the feelings I had with my preexisting hearttype, and aim for that instead.
It may or may not help that I’m using two paratype as foundation of the heartlink.
The vaguetype link does have hearted component too, but we did intentionally link that to be vague. I think that’s a big part of it–to link is to want, so if you want your link to be a certain way, you need to change your mindset and intent for it to be that way too.
We aren’t sure how much there needs to be understanding of the intended identity type you want to make linktype of, but we think it helps
So like, to link a hearttype, you might want to understand more intimately what a hearttype feels like, so you can aim for that instead of a kintype link. Or, you need to define where you want the connection to stop at, and maintain that instead of just maintaining the linktype itself, a added self-conditioning. At the base it all, is a perception shift, and mentality shift.
“I’m not trying to make this into me, I’m trying to make this into something that I feel connected to, something that I’d held dear, I’m making them my found family, my bond brother (neutral)”
A research group led by Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan has uncovered a potential mechanism linking maternal inflammation to delayed neurodevelopment in infants. The research suggests the role of CD11c-positive microglia-immune cells in the brain crucial for myelination-during infant brain development. The results, published in Communications Biology, suggest new strategies…
Few eclectic insights following Don Caverth on Bion, Lacan & conversations with friends
In Bionian psychoanalysis, the psychotic part of the psyche is a universal component of human experience. When we operate within the PS (paranoid-schizoid) position, we are engaging with this psychotic part. This aspect of the self actively resists emotional reality; it attempts to destroy or fragment painful thoughts and emotions. Sometimes, this includes attacking our own mental apparatus, undermining the very capacity to think and process experience.
Container and Contained: In Bion’s model, the mind is a potential container for truth. However, this container is not perfect; it is akin to a sieve, riddled with holes through which truth may escape. Lacan’s concept of foreclosure offers a parallel: the foreclosure of the fundamental gap or cut between subject and object—essential to recognizing “I am not the other”—can lead to psychosis. Bion’s understanding of the Oedipus complex reflects this dynamic. In the myth, Tiresias is blind, yet he sees the truth, while Oedipus blinds himself to evade reality.
Thoughts Without a Thinker: Bion’s concept of thoughts without a thinker describes the proto-mental realm, a state where unprocessed, uncontained thoughts exist without being assimilated into consciousness. Don Caverth questions this view, suggesting instead that these thoughts require a container to develop meaning. Without containment, they remain fragmented. When someone—or something—acts as a container, these thoughts can be integrated, enabling growth and understanding.
Dreams, according to Bion, are not merely a concealment of the unconscious but an active manifestation of the mind’s alpha function—its ability to transform raw emotional experiences into symbols and metaphors. This mythopoetic (what a fantastic word) quality of the mind operates unconsciously and is a marker of mental health. Dreaming represents the mind’s capacity to create subjectivity and generate a narrative, turning raw experiences into something meaningful.
Note: unlike Winnicott’s concept of “holding,” Bion’s container-contained relationship is not inherently nurturing. The container can crush the contained, or vice versa. This dynamic can be explosive, destructive, or even annihilative. Thus, the container-contained relationship represents not just support but also the potential for destruction.
Linking and Differentiation
Bion’s psychoanalytic framework emphasizes linking as a fundamental aspect of mental health. Attacks on linking—severing connections between thoughts, emotions, and experiences—are central to psychopathology. Don Coverth adds that psychopathology also includes attacks on differentiation, the capacity to distinguish self from other, mind from object. While Bion focuses on pairing and integration, Don emphasizes the necessity of separation and decoupling.
Sartre’s existentialist philosophy aligns with this idea: the mind is both a linker and a distinguisher, simultaneously connecting and differentiating. To create meaning, there must be a gap—a lack—between knower and known, between subject and object.
Dialectics of Psychoanalysis: Bion and Lacan
The dialectical nature of psychoanalysis emerges in the interplay between Bion’s focus on linking and Lacan’s emphasis on separation. Lacan’s concept of the No of the Father underscores a one-sided separation, which can result in an imbalance. Both the paternal function and the maternal function are necessary for a holistic understanding of the psyche. Lacan’s later work, in my perspective, especially his exploration of feminine jouissance, corrects some of this imbalance, integrating the idea of receptivity and creativity into his framework.
As therapists, the goal is to help patients suffer productively—to think, talk, and feel their pain. This process fosters mental growth by bringing individuals closer to truth and reality. For Bion, mindlessness—the absence of meaning and the destruction of links—is analogous to Freud’s death drive. A healthy mind creates meaning, constructs stories, and generates images. Conversely, the destructive mind erases meaning, leaving chaos and fragmentation.
The ego-destructive superego, as described by Bion, exemplifies a container that undermines rather than supports. This parasitical linking consumes rather than nurtures, standing in stark contrast to the productive linking that fosters integration and understanding.
The Mystic and the Creative Genius. Bion’s idea of the mystic reflects the tension between innovation and societal resistance. Mystics bring new truths to light, but these truths often threaten established structures, which seek to suppress or contain them. Think of creative geniuses like Freud, Bion, or Giordano Bruno—figures who challenged conventional thinking and faced opposition for their insights. Creativity and truth are disruptive forces, but they are essential for growth and transformation.
Sometimes I like to refer to my linktype shorthanded. Sometimes as either just heartlink, vaguelink, or if I really want, para-linked hearttype, and collectively linked vaguetype.
I like the extra denotation, because near everyone else is talking about linking as if only identify-as. The community does generally put more focus on identify-as identities.
Both our linktypes are important for different reasons. One is to bridge the different paratype feelings, and the other is for bonds with friends (and for general shenanigan).
How we go about linking the two are slightly different because of that.

For the three-tailed enfield, there’s already something there, the paratype element from both myself and my hearttype makes for a good foundation, I didn’t have much work but to build on top of whatever was already there, all I needed to do was to link them together.
The way we did it was taking more interest in fox related stuff, or more in particular multi-tailed kitsune. We plan to watch some kitsune focused anime eventually, and make a art for our heartlink. At the moment, we have a number of fox and spirit foxes pins around.
Honestly, we aren’t sure if the linking started the process or if it was already a thing, and linking just strengthens the connection, which is probably due to the paratypes.
But I think a large part of it was just simply engaging it with a “I have this feeling of a spark, I want to retain that feeling, and fan it to make it large”. It’s sort of how it happens with a number of my shapeshifter forms. I go around, holding this thing close to my heart, and whenever something pops up that reminds me of the enfield, I will perk up. That sort of feedback loop is what makes the linking stick. I make it happen more via me actively engaging or seeking these reminder. I feel like it trains the brain to hold onto it that much longer, and eventually you just let it be, and it will be fine on its own.
Now I’m not actively looking for stuff, but I don’t need to, I can probably take away the link suffix and the three-tailed enfield is there to stay as a parahearttype. But I like it, I like the reminder of where it came from, and I like being in that community, and exist as a reminder to other questioning alterhuman that yes, my way of linking exist.
With a linktype that came from a preexisting fictional source, you’d think all I had to do was to engage with said fiction. I mean, I could, but this whole thing happened after I long left the source environment. Or perhaps not quite.
I still retain the knowledge of the source. And because of this, when others within the alterhuman community engages with it, I took special interest towards the happening. What pretty much started the linking process, was the want to connect to others who are from that same source. Perhaps we previously held fondness towards the source, or the character in specific. We know we have things going on with what the character’s “element” is–stars and cosmos. So that had helped our desire to link.
It’s definitely not enough to help maintain the link. The failed dragonite hearttype link was also made happen due to the desire to form stronger bonds with other pokemon alterhuman.
I suppose when put side-by-side like this, my successful linktype are due to either paratype element, or other factors to reinforce the overall linktype structure.
Furthermore, the Aurelion Sol vaguelink was a collective decision, something both Akumu and I(Ryuu) are interested in linking. The linking could have fade without both of us there at the same time, and Akumu tends to disappear to places half the time. It made linking this specific identity a little trickier.
What made it start to grow and “stick” properly was perhaps when I put it on as a proxy, for a bit of a joke. It felt wrong without Akumu there during that time, but trying to be Aurelion Sol for a day has done wonders for the linktype. It felt right, it felt like it could really work.
We kept the proxy.
After that, it’s like a little tug at the back of our mind, telling us that it’s still there, all we need to do is pick it back up. We also aren’t really active with this linktype. We never are all that active with our alterhumanity. But at the same time, it’s like a tab opened on the browser, whenever draconity or prompt topic came that we can talk about our relationship with Aurelion Sol in, it’s like another boost to the linking process–active discussion with the alterhuman community while keeping in mind of this connection. It makes sense, we wanted to link this ‘type because of connections to others, so to make it stronger, we need to connect more with others.
Maybe that’s how our method works, going in full circles. Start the desire to link, try around for other stuff, and then go back to what first prompted the linking desire.
The fact that we are gaining noemata for this vaguetype tells me that, like the enfield, this one is here to stay. Because when thinking and talking about it, and the rare noemata, the link became self-sustaining.
I feel a bit uncertain to call this linktype done, but it seem to be doing alright. Perhaps more writing and pondering will help more.
