What is real is fictional, what is fictional is real




There's been a virtual explosion of Otherkin-related products just the last week or so. This is one example, a T-shirt with the humorous caption "Fictionkin are real". Now, I'm prepared to believe in all kinds of really strange stuff, ranging from Bigfoots high on kundalini to giant lobsters named Esmeralda and Keith in orbit around Vulcan, and a really good day I can even suffer G W F Hegel, but the idea of a guy having the luck of Cousin Gladstone *actually being Gladstone* would drive me nuts, so sorry, I just can't accept this one. But then, I suppose I could save the day by incarnating Scrooge McDuck!
