TOONIAN LABEL / IDENTITY
Definition
A toonian is an individual who simply is a specific cartoon character reborn or an individual who has some sort of a spiritual identification to a specific cartoon character. Toonians are always preexisting cartoon characters, being that most are toons just reborn into this plane of existence.
Source memories / traumas and sources in general
These individuals usually have source memories that can vary from being exactly like one of the medias they are from, being slightly altered versions of the medias they are from or being like nothing anyone has seen before! Source memories are memories that toonians have of their past life when they were a toon and since these memories can some times be traumatic, toonians can experience great distress from being reminded or thinking about these traumatic memories. So these are coined as source traumas and normal memories are, of course, source memories.Toonians can also have memories of multiple past lives depending on how many different medias the specific cartoon character they are has! Not all medias that includes the character they are will be who they are. This is why it's important for toonians make source/media lists of who exactly they are and aren't out of the different versions of themselves so others can know and not get confused!
Soul shifting / shifting
Soul shifting is where a toonian individual may feel more aligned with one specific source at certain time points. As you could probably tell by the key word "shifting", this source can change! This change may be due to mood, environmental changes, or just because! There isn't always a cause shifting but it's possible that it can have a cause of some sort aswell! A shift can last a long time or a short amount of time, theres really no time limit to how long a shift can last!Heres an example of a soul shift!
Let's say i, Oswald, was more aligned to my Epic Mickey source. Then, i have a soul shift then become more aligned with my Wednesday's Infidelity source! That would be soul shifting!Having a soul shift can affect behaviors, interests, moods, ect. Though this doesn't always happen, it depends on how strong the alignment is how much it'll effect those things! Not all toonians have to have soul shifting to be toonian but it is something that happens.
In relation to other labels
This label is completely separate from otherkin, therians, and delusional attachments / irls but someone who is a toonian can identify as otherkin or therian of other things, and can develop delusional attachments.
Example of a toonian
Here I will lay out some information about myself to help give a better understanding of how this label can be applied to a real person and how it can work with other labels ect. ect.
Hello! I'm Oswald/ Euthanasia ! Any nickname works! I'm a toonian and I'm Oswald the Lucky Rabbit! I'm also an otherkin of a doll! My pronouns are it/they/he/toon! I'm a trans rosboyflux! A few examples of my sources are, Epic Mickey, Bendy and Boris: Quest for the Ink Machine, and Wednesday’s Infidelity. I have much more but these are ones that i see are good examples. It's very nice to meet anyone who reads this!
Other notes
As you may notice from my introduction that it's very "out of character." You'll probably notice this with other folk who may identify with being toonian. Please remember that we're still ourselves even if a bit different now! Also remember we've lived through a new life and have been re-raised and introduced to new ideas and have been exposed to different scenarios. We're changing and growing just like everyone else! Another thing to add is, please don't be strange to us just because we are a toon you like or admire! Don't treat us as different or higher than, we're folks just like you and some of us might not like that attention! Also don't seek after toonians you may have a crush on, we don't like when people only like us in a romantic way because of who we are! You'll most likely be very disappointed because not all of us are the same as we were (I’m a wonderful example of that!)! So please be respectful of us!
Toonian symbol / logo
It's two white gloved rubberhose styled toon hands making a T with their fingers.
