i dont act anything or even talk like the character im kin with but im still very sure i am kin with him. but most people who are kin with the same character talk and act like him. im kinda worried that this might be me trying to be the character rather than actually being him even if i have a memory associated with my canon. long story short, if you dont act like a character youre kin with does that make you less valid of kin?

Don’t worry anon, whether you act like your kintype or not in this life is irrelevant to being kin with them. People change. The life…

In my source material and canon I’ve got a wicked set of chompers and probably the longest and creepiest tongue I’ve ever seen. Is there any foods, sweets or not, that you may be able to suggest so that I can at least have the satisfaction of using those teeth again? ((A bit of a weird ask, I know, but I kinda wanna try out these teeth more on new and or obscure foods.))

Hey anon! I’m not much of a mouth-sensory person, so I asked a close friend of mine who’s dragonkin (with a particularly wicked set of…

So when I first realized I was kin of a certain character myself and the character were nothing alike but as the source went on and his character was fleshed out more I started to notice more similarities as if his personality was evolving into mine. It was odd but comforting. I was wondering if anyone else has any similar experiences?

Hey anon. Interesting experience. That doesn’t sound too far fetched to me, honestly. I’d imagine other people have had similar experiences.

KIN-ADJACENT EXPERIENCES (original post) I’m reposting this because it was originally posted before I heard the term alterhuman, and I think it belongs in that sphere.…

Where’s the line between fictionkin and otherkin? For instance, if we define otherkin as “non-human soul” and fictionkin as “soul of a fictional character”, there’s still a ton of overlap. Dragons and elves are fictional, but elf/dragonkin are otherkin. Homestuck trolls are non-human, but they’re fictionkin. Yet, both of these could qualify for either label. How do you differentiate the two?

Its a very fuzzy line indeed, and someone can be both otherkin and fictionkin at the same time. For instance anyone who has a fictotype…

This is the most respectful video explanation of kin and fictionkin that I’ve seen yet. I hope everybody takes a minute to watch this, and…

I think this is gonna be part of a longer ask, I’m sorry. I actually had a hunch of my kintype for a few months now but I never really “did” anything with it. It was just a thing that existed and I never bothered to dig deeper but then I met a friend from canon and he told me about the stuff like memories and all that and I dediced to dig deeper and now I am really confused about my identity for a few days?? Like, I know who I am in some way. I could recite my whole life when asked (1/?)

(2/?) And I don’t miss any memories from the past days or experience any changes in my personality. But I feel a lot more like…

1: Hey, Felix. I was wondering if you could help me sort out something? For the past few months, I’ve been having trouble understanding the finer mechanics behind my sense of self. While I DO put stock into the multiverse theory, I don’t feel that who I am belongs exclusively to a past life. I feel like I am who I am NOW, and I was also who I am in EVERY universe. In a past life, in the present life, and in the future. How do I reconcile being who I am both in present day and in the past? Most

2: everyone who subscribes to the multiverse theory refers to their identity as a past life. Past tense. I WAS, or I USED to. But…

hey I have a question I’m kinda scared to ask… I’m fickin and I have two kintypes and my s/o is fickin and he has 20+ … When I first met him he had 10+ and that was chill, I’m understand ppl w/ multiple kintypes! But now every time he watches a new anime/ tv show/etc… He finds a new kintype which he identifies right away. How do I tell him nicely maybe he needs to think about some of his kintypes more and what having them means?? Most of all from animes he just started (part 1)

(Part 2) idk how to say this nicely.. I understand having multiple kintypes but he has 20+ and I feel like they kind of… Lose…

Hi! I hope it’s OK to ask this (and that it hasn’t been asked before – if so, I apologize) but I’ve been wondering for a while now. When I’ve come across some of the blogs of fictionkin, they will have a page listing their kintypes and saying that others with the same kintype can’t follow them/talk to them/etc. Would you mind telling me why that is? (just curious)

Hey there. Its always okay to ask a question, and honestly, most of the questions I’m asked have been asked before (like this one). The…

hi!! i wanted to ask a question about what language i should use if im fictionhearted. is the word ‘synpath’ used for the character that u are fictionhearted with, or is having synpaths an entirely different thing to being fictionhearted? if so, how can i tell the difference between being fictionhearted and having a synpath? also im very unsure about how to say it (is it like. rey is my synpath?? rey is a synpath i have?? my synpath is rey?? are any/all of these acceptable?) thank u in advance

For synpath, I believe ‘Rey is my synpath’ is correct usage. Having a synpath and being fictionhearted ARE different, so you wouldn’t call the person you’re…

So I recently discovered that I might be kin with someone and now I’m trying to recover memories from “my canon”. The problem is that in canon I suffered from PTSD due to severe trauma and I also do now from trauma that happened a few years ago. Could it now be that I will never be able to access those memories from my canon because of the trauma that my brain is trying to block out?

It could be that you won’t– and possibly that’s for the best. If your mind is protecting you from something its for a reason. However,…

Sorry to bother you, but I have a bit of a dilemma. I have memories I know I can access, but I’m not sure if I should. As far as I can tell, I may have witnessed the death of someone I loved–every time I come across anything in the fandom that even references that person’s death, I start feeling really panicked and upset. I think I may have blocked out the memories on purpose. … I think I held him in my arms as he died. Should I try and look into this or am I better off not knowing?

Ouch, anon, I’m saddened to hear that. :/ Honestly, the thing about bad memories is they tend to be the ones that come whether you…

How should one go about coming to terms with having a kintype that they consider embarrassing, strange, ridiculous, etc.? I’m not sure if you’ve answered this before, and I’m sorry if you have, but I’ve been struggling with “beating myself up” (for the lack of a better phrase) over having a kintype and it’s not really fun.. (Sorry if this is worded poorly. Don’t really know how to put it, haha.)

Oof, its a struggle, anon. I have seen some people with really conventionally ‘embarrassing’ kintypes. Donald Duck, and Thomas the Tank Engine are the most recent.…

Can memories come more… idk.. passively? Like, I don’t usually dream at all at night unless I have a fever, but sometimes I think of something that just feels.. right. Like, when it comes to mind it’s just so overwhelmingly real, like any other memory, and… I dunno, it just feels like it really happened.

Absolutely. Not all memories come in dreams and not all are extremely vivid or concrete. Sometimes you just *know* something. Its weird.

I’ve finally accepted that I might be kin and… tbh I find it comforting? Like, I’m terrified of death, especially the idea that my consciousness will stop existing altogether. Getting flashes of emotion and memory from what might be a past life makes it seem less terrifying. If I can recall a past life like that, it means somewhere down the line a different me might be able to access the memories of now. The current me won’t just fade into nonexistence.

I know how you feel, anon. Its comforting to me for the same reason ^^
