Hi! I’m new to the community and have a humble little blog about my synpaths. I know some people prefer to have kin stuff tagged- does the same go for synpaths and fictionhearts? If so, what should I tag it as? When should I tag it (as in, what kind of topics relating to this should be tagged)? Sorry, not exactly a fictionkin question but I don’t wanna scare off any potential fictionkin friends with my blog!

I think the tags mostly in use are synpath and fictonhearted and/or hearttype. You can also use the tag alterhuman!

new word: alternormal Alternormal adjective denoting events, experiences or phenomena (such as shifts, anomalous memories, phantom/astral limbs, headmates, soulbonding, unexplained urges and feelings, etc) that…

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…

I want to say thanks for bringing the term “fiction-hearted” to light. I have a headmate who closely associates with a character, but doesn’t identify as *being* the character–he’s not a fictive. When he and I discovered the term “fiction-hearted”, it turned out to describe his feelings PERFECTLY. We’re both grateful to finally have a word to explain what he’s feeling!

I’m so glad! I think its important to have words to describe all different kinds of feelings.

i think i may be fictionhearted but i’m not entirely sure? especially because the character i think i am fictionheart/ed (?) with is my own OC… i have a really deep connection to him (that isn’t romantic or sexual or anything) and i have a rlly strong desire to be him.. also i’m a maladaptive daydreamer and this OC is my ‘idealised self’. i have avpd and saw that self-deserting behaviour is common, which i do, and i sort of feel like i’m constantly trying to ‘role play’ almost as my OC (1)

(2) and just completely ignore my actual self.. so do you think i’m fictionhearted ?.. I can’t comment on your mental illnesses/symptoms. However, disregarding them,…

Do you know if it’s possible for someone who is -hearted to experience extreme emotional or spiritual instability because of a connection? (I.e. Being -hearted with Asriel Dreemurr of Undertale, and feeling crushing guilt, regret, or absolute loneliness). If that’s not being -hearted, then what would that be?

I think that sounds like a hearttype to me, but I’d definitely like others opinions. I know my own hearttype effects me emotionally a lot.…
