number of stars is strength of kintype
☆☆☆☆ — core kintypes; almost a hop skip and a jump away from joining us in headmate land. these tend to actively change the way i speak
☆☆☆ — near-core kintypes; not Quite ☆☆☆☆ but they definitely change the way my brain functions
otherwise the less amount of stars the less defined they are and those without stars are more vibes than anything else.
