I haven’t heard much about fictionhearted people being uncomfortable around doubles, however, everyone has different personal preferences and that’s okay.
Fictionhearted people absolutely can experience shifts ^^ Honestly, I am pretty certain that anyone in the alterhuman spectrum/community can experience some types of shifts ^^
A hearttype is to fictionhearted/otherhearted as kintype is to fictionkin/otherkin. Hearttype is what you feel linked to as a -hearted person.
It can be a familial connection, but it also can be feeling like you empathize so much with that character that you feel like you ‘are’…
Its possible you’re kin, or that you are fictionhearted, or that the character is a synpath. What is clear is that the character effects you…
Shifts aren’t limited to kin, lots of people experience different types of shifts. (and you mean otherhearted or fictionhearted 🙂 )
I wouldn’t let one person police your feelings, and honestly, I don’t know that there’s a ‘right’ way t o express heartedness, though I’m open to…

Yes you can! That’s called otherhearted (as opposed to fictionhearted), unless its a specific fictional demon.
I think that’s a fascinating theory, anon. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case at least some of the time.
Its nice to hear from someone who has the same experience. 🙂 Thanks, anon!
I’m crow/corvidhearted in general, ever since I was a little kid. I’m also fictionheartted to the Boss from the Metal Gear Solid. I feel her,…
I don’t know if this is common or not, but its pretty much exactly how I experience my hearttypes. Anyone else?
I don’t really know. I wouldn’t think so, but the mind is good at manufacturing memories.
I don’t think there’s any upper limit on hearttypes? and organizing hearttypes might be logical!
(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,…
Fictionhearted: Someone with a strong emotional or spiritual connection to any fictional character or fictional species, without believing that they are that character or species.…
I’m actually not sure. Fellow otherhearted, what’s the consensus on this?
-hearted people, in my experience, feel one or more of a few things deep longing to be X deep admiration of and empathy for X…
I’m pretty sure that having a non-human hearttype counts as being non-human. I’d count it at least, though I don;t know how others feel. -Hearted…
I don’t talk about it much, but besides being fictionkin I’m also: Otherhearted- Corvidhearted, since I was 10. I consider crows and ravens a personal…
You don’t have to have the same traits as someone/something to be other/fictionhearted with them. I’m not sure whether they’d count as synpaths or not,…
Maybe its not wrong? Or maybe its still an intense connection. You could be -hearted.
Fictionkin discover who they are through experiences like homesickness, species/image dysphoria, supernumerary phantom limbs, residual scarring/pain, kin memories, missing abilities, unexplained fears or urges, etc.…

A synpath is something/someone that you identify with/have empathy with/for. (link) (link) otherhearted/fictionhearted is having a strong emotional/spiritual connection with someone/something without actually *being* them.…
Does anyone know of a word currently or previously in use that describes the combined fictionkin/ otherkin/ otherhearted/ fictionhearted/ synpath/ fictive/ soulbond community, or any…
? Or could it be something else like a.c. recurring cameo shift(is that a thing?), or cameo shifts of winged creatures due to being otherhearted?…
I don’t have a reliable method for this. I would potentially say that lack of typical kin experiences, while still feeling like you are that…
Here’s difference.. If you “know you’re human” as in, believe that you are physically inhabiting a human body right now, but you firmly believe that you…
Interesting question! The fiction-hearted/otherhearted community is an evolving one, and I’m not sure anyone quite knows how we all ‘fit together’ as a larger community of…
