What’s the difference between ID and kin? Do you choose your ID?

The problem with “ID” as a term is that it doesn’t have a set definition and means different things to different people. Some people who…

can a fictive of x character also identify as y character?

Anybody can identify as anything. If you’re asking of a fictive can also be fictionkin, the answer is yes in certain circumstances.

What’s the difference between fictionkin and “literally me”?

Here are some of the things I’ve said about “literally me”/IDs in the past: The “literally me” people are generally in one of three camps…

I use both ID and kin – I consider my ID to be a kintype but not all my kintypes are IDs. For me, I have a belief that I am an alternate version of a character, that I am literally living my life as that character- that’s my ID. My other kintypes are all past lives and not considered IDs to me.

Interesting!

I think the confusion around the ID/kin thing could be that ID can mean “my identity/this is me” and “I identify with”

I think that’s *part* of the confusion.

for the anon that uses “ID” instead of “Kin/Me” in tags- I use the kins name eg If I were kin with Superman I’d tag something “for clark”

Sorry, “Superman” anon again- I forgot to suggest that u could probably use it for ID’s too? I dunno- there’s definately confusion around Kin/ID More…

i sometimes use ID interchangably with kin when im talking about my kins. that might just be a habit i picked up from my cousin. either way, i mostly say kins…

Interesting. The language seems to be very mixed/confused at the moment.

I use id as I strongly identify with this but I’m not necessarily kin with it, I was using to replace it the me and kin tag that are more obvious. Apparently this could be misunderstood, I’m running out of ideas.

Thank you for the input! I thought this may be the case for some people.

I always thought that people use the term “ID” rather than “kin” if they’re copingkin.

That was my impression as well. In which case I encourage it wholeheartedly ^^

(Sorry I sent in my last ask too early, so I’m going to retype it) I use the term main ID to mean the kintypes I identify with most? Like, some of my kintypes are ‘yeah that’s me’ but then there are the ones that are literally me, and I call them my main IDs.

Thanks for the resend 🙂 This is interesting to hear. I wonder how many others also use it this way? I am curious because I…

What is the difference between fictive and “id”? Is there even one?

Good question! To start with, a fictive is specifically a headmate or alter. They are a member of a multiple collective or system. As for…
