Idk if this has been asked before but ive noticed a lot of “ID pages” on blogs where people are saying “this character is not my kintype they are literally me” do you know what that mean or anything because it always confuses me, especially when they list a bunch of kintypes or copinglinks below the initial “literally me” characters

Every person is an individual and has their own reasons for doing that. I can’t tell you the reason everyone has. That said, I think…

So I am soulbound to Latios from Pokemon, and I feel I have been for quite some time. He told me that he’s been around for quite a while but just hasn’t been vocal until recently, finally talking whenever I needed his company? Since then he has been a lot more active and made himself known to some of my friends through Skype chat. I was curious if you knew some ways to connect with him better? and what would be some good ways to spend time with him, or just with a soulbond in general? thanks <3

Hello. I just want to say that, as someone who is a DID sufferer and studying psychology currently in university, alters actually can and often do continue to be formed beyond childhood if the trauma was never dealt with and/or if the emotional instability from the event/events never faded, along with other reasons. However, in order to be diagnosed DID, your first alter at least did have to form during childhood. I cannot speak for OSDD-1/DDNOS, as I haven’t researched those as deeply, but.

Interesting. My information on alters having to be formed from childhood comes from @this-is-not-dissociative and other such blogs. I am unable to retrieve the exact…

I feel like I’m questioning myself much too harshly. Basically, I constantly feel like all of my feelings were fabricated because I was just forming them to fit into this identity like a copycat, and it’s really intrusive. But no matter what, even after so many checks, I know the most vivid of experiences are real, and I still feel strongly like it’s my identity. But even so it comes back after a while, then leaves again. But I mean, kin can’t be confirmed so Im just over-questioning. I think.

It sounds like you’re definitely over-questioning it. Its okay. Its something we all do now and again, because you’re right, its not something that can…

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of memory flashes that are pretty clearly from the life of a specific character. They feel like memories, and they all seem familiar or right. I think I might be kin with him, which would also explain some of the missing abilities I’ve had my whole life and actually a whole lot about me. The thing is, I don’t believe in souls? I believe in a singular consciousness in each person, but not souls. I just don’t know how else to explain things I’ve felt my entire life.

I feel for you, anon. Souls and such weren’t on my radar when I first started awakening as kin. Here’s the thing. Its okay to…

Lately I started ‘getting back’ my memories, but from different… life, I guess? I also started feeling like I’m out of place. I tried looking up some characters that I know, but I couldn’t feel any bigger connection to them – although, I feel like I know some of them for a pretty long time as friends or enemies. I also got some kind of visions about some character, that is not from anything I know, but I feel like it’s me. Is it possible to be a kin of nonexistent character?

Yes, anon, it is totally possible to be kin of a ‘non-existent’ character- as in a person who doesn’t exist in the canon/source material of the…

Hi there. There is a character I really relate to and connected to pretty much instantly. I know I have a strong connection to him, and a strong understanding of him, but I’m not sure if he is a kin of mine. I don’t have memories though and I feel like thats a big indicator of being fictionkin. How do I know if I’m kin to him or if I just relate to him strongly?

First of all, you’ll need to take your time. Even with an instant reaction, it can take weeks, months, or even years to truly understand…

I’ve been questioning being fictionkin of this character for a couple months now, but fairly recently I started wondering if I’m a different character from the same source (these are characters who know/knew each other). Now, I think I’m first character I was questioning, but I’m not exactly sure. Any advice on how I can figure out who my kinself is?

Well, the easiest way would be if you had any memories- that would probably clear things right up because they’d be from your kinself’s perspective.…

What’s your opinion on forging a soulbond with your significant other from a past life? Also what are the logistics of this where timelines are concerned, considering the soulbonder has probably lived other lives since then? You would think the person in question wouldn’t be around to create a soulbond with anymore. I know it’s possible, I’ve seen other people with soulbonds to people who died not long after them or even before them in canon and I just don’t… get it? How does this work?

I’ve never gone out of my way to make a soulbond with my former significant others, because the idea makes me personally feel ‘weird’. However, I…
