Out of curiosity, do you think it’s possible to receive a sudden burst of insight about your kintypes? Not discovering them all at once for certain, but periods of time where it feels like all of them are attempting to enter your subconscious and remind you of who you are? It’s hard to explain, but I believe I’m going through one of those right now, and it’s making introspection a lot more difficult.

I absolutely believe that’s possible. I think we all get ‘insight dumps’ sometimes.

Something I’ve been thinking about. You know how some particles/types of energy can’t act/move and be observed at the same time? Maybe that’s the reason…

What are fictionkin? Fictionkin; (noun): A person who discovers that they have in some way inherited the soul/spirit/complete mentality of a fictional character, and the…

Hello there! I’m new to kin and I have a few questions of you don’t mind answering them! question 1) I think I might kin with a character and I’m not quite sure but I have extremely strong feelings toward said character and I’m not sure how to go about them. What does this mean? Question 2) Is it normal, when kinning, to think “that’s me!” when you see a character you have strong feelings toward? Thats all i have but thanks in advance for reading this and possibly answering! Have a good day!

Also I’m the anon from the last ask with the 2 questions. Sorry if i might have made any misconceptions! I’m very new to this…

Regarding “xenomnesia”: It’s possible you have a mental connection with a character. Or empathic. Some kind of connection that let you share thoughts or memories. Or maybe even: Is there any kind of otherkin “vessel” concept in use? Channeling someone? Or having them give you thoughts/memories somehow? (I’m an empath, and I know a lot of my synpath [non-kin, but very deeply understanding] connections have this effect on me, especially my primary “soulbond”.)

Absolutely. There’s lots of reasons that this phenomenon could occur. Fictionflickers come to mind too as a possible source for xenomnesia.

I think it’s cool how you treat people with weird kintypes with the same respect you’d treat anyone else. I’ve seen “elders” in the kin community talk about how they’d reject people whose kintypes were too “out there”, and I think that’s incredibly unfair. I mean, nobody HAS to accept anyone else, but… it’s just really hypocritical, you know? Even those “good” and “allowable” kintypes are batshit to people outside of the community.

Even those “good” and “allowable” kintypes are batshit to people outside of the community. Exactly, anon.  In my worldview, thanks to multiverse theory, there’s just…

Is there a word for identifying as a fictional species, or fictional race of beings? Not one that was in canon, but someone from their same world. Is that still fictionkin? Is there a word for “I identify as that kind, but not that individual”? Also, is there a word for identifying as a fictional animal species? Is that fictionkin or therian?

Isn’t fictionhearted feeling a familial relationship to that character? I’m not fictionhearted myself, but I am dragonhearted and I describe that as seeing the dragon spirits around me as my true family. So, wouldn’t fictionhearted be less of “I want to be that” and more of “I feel that character is very close to me”?

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’…

Have you seen the blog racistkin? I like outside opinions as well, so what do you think about that? Not a single post I read on there actually said how being kin outside your race actually hurts poc. None of these posts seem to understand the concept of reincarnation either. I want these concepts covered by the blog because they are giant holes in their reasoning. I’m neither here not there on the issue yet, more information is needed.

I’m pretty sure i have the blog @racistkin blocked, and I advise everyone else do the same. They don’t understand what they’re talking about and…

ok this is totally sloppy but: im a troll and i have 5 others [immediately here] with me in my world [there are others but these 5 live with me] and weve tried befriending many humans only for it to never work [they never truly understand or just never understand the full picture and it goes south from there] and im wondering if there are any communities i could look into to find some outside friends for them and for myself as well? i love them and i know its bothering them at this point…

I think the best solution is to let them have individual blogs/emails/etc online, and make friends of their own that way. I wish I had…

So I was told I have a connection to Vergil from Devil May Cry 3 and 4? I do take on his mannerisms from time to time and he’s my favorite character from video gaming. I also use the name Vergil as a nickname. I dont know if this means I am kin with him or if its a connection I’m not aware of?

No one can tell you who your kintypes are besides you. I honestly really frown on telling other people they ‘may’ have a connection to anyone.…
