i know this is really vague and i’m sorry to ask a question like this but you’re one of the best people i can think to ask; what do you think about people who are fickin with “bad” characters? i feel like i might be kin (or at least -hearted with one) and the potential backlash to that makes me scared to do more than sort of consider it.

I’ve been a ‘badguy’ in just about every life I’ve had. My kinselves are Vriska Serket and the Digimon Emperor. Both of those characters have hurt…

hi I hope you don’t mind me asking and stuff but I am fiction kin but I am kin with a very popular character and I am very scared to come out with it sometimes cause what if people say I don’t even sound, look, or act like my kin even though I feel the same as my kin almost all the time but it makes me feel invalid and I am not sure what to do to help it

Being kin of a beloved character is tough, because it definitely makes you more visible and opens you up to more judgement. Please remember my…

Question for psychological fictionkin/kin who believe their identity is only due to their mental state: What are your feelings and beliefs regarding spiritual kin, /…

‘Kin’ is not a word for system member, fictive, soulbond, alter, or headmate.  If you say your ‘kin’ or ‘kins’ to mean separate people from yourself…

Okay so I kin with a character of a video game. My friend said I should ask the creator if it’s okay to kin with the character since the creator didn’t want people kining with one of the other characters. And I just??? Cause I can’t pick on who I kin with?? And the creator seems real cold and distant and has their ask box closed. What do I do?

Your friend is absolutely wrong.  It is *always* a bad idea to approach a creator and tell them that you are kin of one of…

Daily reminder that being fictionkin means that you are that character/species.  Fictionkin are born as humans in this world and later awaken as/remember having been…

I’m so sorry, I don’t know if this has been answered before, but this is really causing me some grief… I always hear of kin talking about their memories as their kintype. I have no memories. Instead, I have strong desires and thoughts like ‘I need to look like this character again. This body isn’t me anymore’ and desires to have objects my kintype had (ie certain jewellery)… Does that make me any less of a fictionkin? I think about this constantly,and having no memories makes me feel invalid

Same anon without memories… Furthermore, I have a lot of coincidences. I’ve always loved albinism and wantd to be one, and wanted to be left…

There are a lot more older ‘kin (fiction and ‘other, not to mention multiples too) than people on this site realize. Most of us have stopped putting ourselves out there so much because when you get to be 30+, being open is more dangerous than when you’re a kid. Many of us have obligations and people we need to protect (jobs, kids, etc.). Being open can harm reputations, even get children taken away. It’s not safe to have beliefs/lives that fall outside the status quo.

So true! Keeping a clean reputation is important which is one big reason my kin blogs do not get related/linked to my other blogs!

Why do you take it as a personal attack when other people explain their being otherkin as psychological? Like, you realize a person can think it’s psychological for them without invalidating your belief that it is spiritual for you, right? Like, not everyone’s experience comes from the same origin. Just because one person thinks their experience is the result of neurodiversity, doesn’t mean that they’re telling you that your magical experiences are “all in your head.”

Like, not everyone’s experience comes from the same origin. That’s right. Not everyone’s experience is from the same origin. Which makes it (when the origins…
