I’m sort of new to being fictionkin, I just recently discovered that I was. I was sort of wondering if it was normal to miss people from that life? I’ve noticed that I’ve really been missing my sister. I don’t feel like I’d ever meet her in this life, at least, not of my own accord. She’d be way more likely to find me if she ever wanted too. Any way to deal with something like this?

It is absolutely normal, and understandable to miss people that you were close to in that life. Sadly, for some of us, the truth is…

i was going to whinge about how it feels like most fiction/media/otaku kin are “cool” or “pretty” characters, chickensmoothie’s forums had some people lambast me for “why does it matter?” when I said it seems like nobody is from Hanna Barbara, Loonytunes, things that might be silly sources, but now I do see “a toon”. it’s just anti’s see this, you will see more Vincent Valentines than you would Spongebobs. Or even “endering child’s shows/stories” More Darth Vaders than Babars.

Waking up and connecting with your fictionkin identity often requires a lot of emotional turmoil. The fact is if you led a peaceful or pleasant…

You probably won’t believe this, but here it is: I strongly suspect I was Ken Ichijouji too. You and I seem to be from wildly different ‘universes’ and the circumstances surrounding our ‘evil turnover’ aren’t even remotely similar; I was never genuinely ‘good’, and the Kaiser was a violent exaggeration of me. Though I have no emotional investment in meeting anyone I knew back then, it’s intellectually interesting to find someone else thinks this way.

Oh that’s fascinating! I honestly have no reason to disbelieve you. In fact, I’m quite curious to compare notes. If you ever want to, please…

I don’t identify as FictionKin and I don’t ever want to, thing is, I’m literally just on the edge of it. I’m in love with this character, thing is, I’m not them. And I know I’m not them. I was wondering if there might be a kin for that. It’s sorta like, I would be them if I could, like if I got a wish, my first thing would be ‘make me him’, without even thinking twice. But I know im not him, ya know, and I don identify as him, but I WOULD if I COULD. Would I have to make my own kin for that or??

The word you’re looking for is either fiction-hearted, or fictionheir. They both mean exactly the same thing: which is exactly what you’re descirbing. 

im toonkin, and recently, i watched who framed roger rabbit… its one of my favorite movies!! my only complaint was that at the beginning, the humans were quite rude to toons. i can understand it, but it upsetted me a bit. however, (from what i remember) the toons didnt seem to have a problem with it. am i overreacting?

If I remember correctly the discrimination towards toons in Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a somewhat unsubtle metaphor for racism. So I feel you would…

Hi! First of all – you are the first person I have met to share my stance on evertything regarding people of fiction origins, and your writings have struck some further feelings inside of me. Firat and foremost, I have realized that both of the fictional entities i am are actually villains. Many parts of my life have entirely echoed theirs in either a literal or metaphorical way. My primary soul is a person(?, he is actually a cat, of all things.) is someone I am, and have always have been. —>

(part 2) He is very much a part of me and even before i awakened I realized that in a way, his traits have carried…

this is really embarrassing but is it possible to have a crush on a character and then later realize you ARE that character? its not like i just liked them so much i wanted to be them, i think its the other way around actually. they were so much like me i just felt like i could relate so well and because of that i liked them so much. but then i realized oh shit thats actually me wtf. can that happen??

Oh trust me this happens. This happens a lot. I imagine that it has a lot to do with vanity, and confused feelings of desire.…

I know that I should take it as a compliment, which is why feeling uncomfortable about it has me a conflicted mess… Fictionkin in general don’t bother me, and not even fictionkin associated with all of my works- just certain works… It’s sort of a weird situation, and I wish I could stop feeling uncomfortable and awkward about it.

This may sound like an odd question- but have you considered that you may be kin from the works that make you feel this way?…

Hello, I recently discovered that I might be fictionkin. I’ve always had a really deep connection with the character and thought of us as being super similar, but I didn’t really think I was kin until I thought of myself as him. Suddenly, I started feeling like I was kin and had a few memories but I also feel upset and embarrassed because it’s a show I genuinely enjoy. I don’t want to think I’m kin and have it turn out I just like the show and relate to the character a little too much.

My advice is to just take it slow and not rush into any beliefs. Take some time to explore your feelings and memories through deep…

Thank you… Like, as a content creator who IS kind of uncomfortable with the idea of fictionkin of their work, I just wanted a little advice? It’s mostly because I identify very strongly with my works- they’re a part of me, and I, it… So it feels weird to me, like people are identifying as ME on some level. Hearing what you had to say really helped a lot though, thank you. I hope you have a good day.

I’m glad I could help. Personally, I would take it as a compliment. If someone identifies as kin from a fiction of yours, its becasue…

So I think I might be fictionkin. There is a character I feel a close similarity to and people who know both him and me have actually commented that we’re alike. I feel at home in the canon world he’s from and I think I even feel the same for a different character… But the thing is, I don’t have what many fictionkin described, that they look at their fictype and think THIS IS ME, see? I don’t know what to think. Does that nean I can’t be fictionkin?

(Anon who doesn’t get the IT’S ME feeling) I also may possibly have memories of being this character? Difficult to say whether that’s just overactive…

(1/2) Hi! First off, I reallyreally love your blog a lot. You’re incredibly well articulated and have brought up topics that I’ve never even considered before. I had an inquiry myself, and you may possibly have answered something similar in the deep recesses of your blog, but… Gonna go for it anyway. I have a lot of discomfort surrounding my death and how the fandom depicts it. The common and widely excepted theory is that it was intentional suicide on my part, and I was doing it because

(2/2) I wanted to protect the others and give them a warning, and that I was so smart and chose to take my own way…

Since I was little I had this strong ‘I don’t belong in this world/I’m not supposed to be here’ type feeling. I found the canon I’m apart of when I was thirteen. Memories started coming back to me almost immediately and I cried almost everyday because of how painfully bittersweet it was to remember. I miss my world a lot. I miss my friends and I miss my lover. I went through a lot with them, we went through so much to be happy and now I’m not with them. (cont. in another ask)

( cont.) In my last life I was lonely in the beginning and then I met them and things got better. In this life…I don’t…

Hello! Recently, I discovered that I’m kin with a guy who was… Really bad. Like, bad enough that he murdered a lot of people and ruined a lot of lives. And recently, I also found a few people who identify as people I wronged horribly back then. I’m too scared to approach them as I don’t even know how to begin to ask for forgiveness (which is something I feel is necessary). Do you think they would hold it against me since I’m (literally) a different person now?

Hello, anon. I certainly understand how you feel as that describes my own ‘kintype’ to a T. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I haven’t had the luck…

I notice you put a lot of emphasis on identifying AS your fictotype. Do I count as fictionkin if I believe I was my fictotype in a past life, but I don’t currently identify as them? My apologies as I’m sure you’ve been asked this before, but I went through a few pages of your blog and read some of your links and didn’t see anything specifically about this.

Absolutely. When I put the emphasis on ‘as’, what I mean is, that its a part of your identity, or your past. Part of your…

Recently I’ve started to think that I may be fictionkin; I’ve never really ‘believed’ in fictionkin, but I recently watched the anime Haikyuu!! and one character, Kenma, just stood out to me so much. They were onscreen for less than a minute and I felt overwhelming emotion towards them, like I /was/ them. The fact that this was strong enough for me to accept possibly being fictionkin means its serious, but I’m still uncomfortable. Do you know any ways to make the journey to acceptance smoother?

The journey to accepting yourself as fictionkin, is, like any other journey of acceptance, long, and hard. I would say, longer and harder than many…

Hey Ken! I’ve been thinking.. I’ve kind of accepted it by now, but… I think I’m Digimon kin, DMW1 leaning Digital Monsterkin. I always kind of see my kintypes as half separate from me, so it’s a bit weird though. I see it as, since every Digimon can be hatched as a fresh, or reduced to pure data, almost all Digimon can become almost all other Digimon, in theory. Does it make sense? I don’t know any other Digimon, so I don’t know if this would be strange.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, but its good to meet you ^^ Kin that hail from the Digital World in one…
