zrcalos: Personally, I dont think people who identify 100% as the character should be included in the fictionkin community. These people are oftentimes very volatile…

I awakened 6+ years ago and I hate my fandom. I hate the source material, I hate how huge and iconic it is, and I hate that I can’t embrace my kin identity without people thinking I’m doing it for attention or to boost my self-esteem. I’ve never seen another fictionkin express this- in fact, the bigger their fandoms are, the happier they seem. Am I doing something wrong?

No, you’re not doing anything wrong. I’m no fan of digimon. My close friends who are fictionkin don’t much like their source material either. Honestly,…

I have a question that I’m too embarrassed to ask off-anon, sorry. I am pretty sure I’m not fictionkin, but yet sometimes I will feel like literally a character is rising up from inside my brain to act for me or to guide me, etc. Pre-existing characters, not OCs. Even when they aren’t actively acting for me, they are still sometimes there and even talk to me and others who are there. I’m not sure what this could be and since I’ve known about otherkin for 10+ years my only thought [1/2]

[2/2] was that it had to be related to fictionkin. And yet as I dwell on it and the more I think the more I…

psychological, i don’t use this to cope with anything, i don’t understand how that works honestly. unless using this knowledge as a way to accept, enjoy or to better certain aspects of myself counts? i don’t think it does… isn’t that why someone learns almost anything about themselves :’)

I assume you’re the anon from this post. Thanks for letting me know. Honestly, I think all fictionkin, spiritual and psychological, use the knowledge of their…

I don’t really know how it happened. I wasn’t drawn to the character. I actually liked several different characters in the same series. Eventually though, it started to become apparent that I thought and acted a lot in the same patterns that the one character did. I would never have chosen it (he is probably the most hated character in the franchise despite being the hero) but the more I embraced it, the more things about my life made sense.

I was told by a fellow kin on a kin chat:  “For the psychological aspect, I believe that a combination of basic personality traits and…

i don’t reject the possibility of being [x] in the past, but it’s not terribly important to me. i do believe in multiverses but i’m the sort who thinks that entails i was, will be or am now (somewhere else) everybody who has been or will be- exponentially more than the two types i identify as. yeah, i don’t pay too much attention to it. then again, i also remember a thing or two, so… hm… these questions are helpful to me, too

Fascinating thoughts. Can I ask if you identify as psychological kin, or copingkin, or a mix? Here are the questions anon is referring to. I’d…

for me it has nothing to do with coping, it’s a personality/brain(?) thing. wasn’t a decision so much as something i just noticed after a bit & needed to think on a little more. i know that i am who i am because i simply do. though i don’t act anything like i used to, “my insides are the same”- that’s the only way i can think to word it, it’s complicated. honestly, i’ve never thought so much about how to answer those questions outside my social circle. i’ll sort out my thoughts and try later.

Thank you for taking the time to answer 🙂 I’d be delighted to hear any more you come up with, and any anyone else does.…

So.. I have this character. He’s an original character, not from any universe. I made him 7 years ago, and honestly he feels really close to my heart. Our personalities/looks/etc aren’t alike at all, but.. he’s so familiar. When I write him, it’s like I’m writing something that I could have tangibly experienced. SOmetimes I’ll have experiences and I’ll flash to thoughts of him. Could it be possible I subconsciously brought out a past life that could be considered fictionkin?

That is absolutely possible. I have say before, and I have said again, authors CAN be kin with their own characters. Honestly, its oceans more…

I went through an awakening and I have several memories from my canon, so in my mind my kintype is pretty well cemented. But I feel like I see much more of “myself” in another character from another fandom, if that makes sense. They’re so much more like me than the character whose memories I have. Is this common? It feels weird and I feel out of place identifying as the character I awakened as, knowing there’s another one out there who seems much more like me.

It can be hard to understand and accept, but your kintype isn’t always the person who has the most in common with who you are…

i want to be a good friend to my fictionkin friends, but thinking about multiverses and things messes with my sense of reality to the point of nausea, so i just don’t talk to them about their kin stuff ever… :/ i’ve been trying to research it but i can’t do it for too long at once because i get so uncomfortable. can i still be a good friend if i say nothing?

You absolutely can. There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable in this matter. You’re clearly a good friend, and you’ve made an effort to…

Have you ever experienced an energetic shapeshift with regard to your kintype? I know this is common for therians/otherkin, but how about fictionkin? Pretty sure I shifted into the fiction kintype tonight, but my kintype also isn’t human, so it was pretty noticeable. I’m curious about the shifting experiences of human-based ‘kin. If you’ve shifted, is it harder to discern because your other self was human too?

This is not something that I typically experience. I have had a few moments in my life where I seemed to ‘regress’ to my earlier identity…
