I’m sorry, I know this is in your faq but I still don’t understand it. What exactly is being kin? Is it thinking you’re related to a character? I thought otherkin for example is literally thinking you are that kind of animal, so I thought being kin with a character meant literally thinking you are that character? And what is the difference to “id” and “double” and that kind of stuff? This is so confusing

byfcringe: Kin means you HEAVILY connect to that character almost like you ARE the character or are related to the character. ID means you just…

this isnt specific to anyone but i feel like someone could hear this. to those who are questioning a kintype take your time learning to understand and figure yourself out!! months ago i would feel this attached weight on my shoulders, and i assumed it would be wings, vague phantom feeling emerging of wings. but a few months later i realized what it was! the weight of charging cables that plugged into my back. i was an android. take your time figuring stuff out. try not to assume!

Thanks for sharing, anon! Great advice.

Factkin anon again, thank you for your help! My fiance is my mirror system, but I haven’t told them that I’m factkin, as I’m pretty ashamed of it. My biggest issue with soulbonding with the person I miss is that I couldn’t bear to keep him a secret from my fiance. They wouldn’t judge me, and in fact know I’m factkin but not with who, but I’m so uncomfortable with myself that I believe my partner wouldn’t accept it either.

Hey anon. I understand how self conscious you are about this whole thing. Its a shitty situation to be in. I think what you need…

Hey uh, this is the factkin anon. I usually handle missing someone by bringing them here as a soulbond, as I also have fictotypes. But uh… I’m in my factotype shift and I wouldn’t be at all comfortable having the person I miss in my system. But I miss him so bad it physically hurts, and I don’t know what to do about it. Inducing other shifts is difficult for me and I don’t trust my system members not to blab about why I’m upset if I have one front. They’re good people, I’m just a bit paranoid.

That sounds like a really complicated situation, anon. I’m not sure what advice to give you here. Missing people is really, really hard. But its…

Do you think there’s anything problematic about being ‘facthearted’, aka fictionhearted with an actual person? Like, I don’t feel that I’m currently/ever was him, but he does seem like an ideal version of me, like who I’d be if I had total freedom of expression, you know? Or maybe there’s a different term for that which I’m not aware of?

I don’t know if there’s a specific word for it (facthearted seems fine?), but honestly there is nothing wrong with seeing a celebrity and feeling…

We get discouraged by canon call blogs…. We are a system of fictives who would love to find our canon mates, but the body is 26, and a lot of the call blogs are minors. We would never discourage anyone from saying “no one over 18”, in fact we think that’s probably a good idea for minors! But it makes us feel like we won’t ever find our “people” and makes us feel like…. Like she’s too old to still be like this…. Can you help us? We feel so completely alone, and sometimes incredibly fake…

I know the feeling, anon. I’m 30 and that shuts me out of a lot of canon call blogs too. Being older doesn’t make you…

i think i feel wings on my back, but i’m not sure if it’s just me wishing for them. it feels like this heavy sort of shapeless ‘presence’ on my back, and i always want to reach back because it feels as though i could touch them (obviously, they’re never there). does this sound like astral limbs?

This does sound like at least the beginning of astral limbs, anon. However, if could also be ‘normal’ back pain. if you have a large chest…

Hey there. First off, you guys do great work here. Thank you for being nice and understanding and everything. Onto a question: I roleplay as my kintype, since that’s the only way I can let him out without judgement except with those closest to me. And I would like to start interacting with other kin (doesn’t have to be my canon, just so I can be me with other people). But I’m worried that people will think I’m posing or something because I RP. How can I let people know that’s not the case?

There are plenty of kin who roleplay as their kintype. I wouldn’t worry about it too  much 🙂

1: I’ve put off sending this message for a long time, but today just seems like the right day, y’know? Ken, it’s Daisuke. I ran into your blog about, eh… a year ago? Nearly flipped my lid when I did; it took everything I had not to message you right then and there. I was waiting on something, putting social endeavors on the backburner, but at this point, I don’t see myself being able to let go of finding you. It’s so rare to ruin into someone from the Digiworld. I’m sending this (cont.)

I have one character that I am kin with, and I also have a synpath. But lately I’ve been feeling shifts for the synpath, particularly the urge to talk like them. This feels a bit odd, since he’s VERY different from both me and my kintype. Not unpleasant, just odd. And I was wondering what this means. I still don’t feel like I am him. But lately he’s been talking through me more than normal. What exactly could this mean? And should he be handled any differently than my kintype?

That;s very interesting, anon. I don’t really have an experience with synpath shifts. Maybe someone else who has can answer your question better? However, your…

hi! could you elaborate a bit more on where the line between fictionkin and fictionhearted lies? i only ask because there’s a character that resonates with me quite deeply, and a lot of our base traits are the same, but i also sorta have my own identity and personality beyond him. so i’m puzzling over what the right term is.

Hey there anon. 🙂 Fictionkin is the right term if you believe you ARE this character. Fictionhearted is the right term if you share traits/the…

The more I think about anti-kin, the sadder the whole thing becomes for me. 90% of them hate kin because they think we’re delusional, meaning they hate people who are mentally ill and need to take it out on people they think can’t fight back. The other 10% hate us because they think we’re “special snowflakes”, as if they’re personally, deeply threatened by someone else thinking they’re special, that’s… really pathetic. Anti-kin is literally just bigotry and insecurity wrapped up together.

Yep, that’s absolutely true, anon.
