I had a thought the other day. I noticed a lot of canon calls will say something like “don’t message me if you’re x age” and while I understand that from a safety perspective (minors not feeling comfortable with adults and such) I can’t help but wonder, what if your canonmates were all in that age range you don’t want to interact with and you never got to meet them because of the age difference?

Then you’re basically shit out of luck, I would guess? Sounds sad to me.

Hi this is factkin anon! So I told my partner who my kintype is (Im still uncomfortable saying that) and the person I miss. I mentioned that my partner is my mirror system- well we also mirror each others kintypes. Idk if there’s a word for that but yeah, turns out theyre factkin too, and the person I was missing so much. They were just waiting for me to accept myself and tell them. Im just really happy and relieved and wanted to update you, if that’s okay! tysm for listening to me all the time!

I am so glad that worked out! When you said you had a mirror system I had a hunch it would.

i have traumatic kin memories involving war, but i feel bad for even mentioning i have them, especially since its from a war that also happened in this world. i feel like if i talk about how bad it was or how it hurts me, ill get shut down and told not to be disrespectful, which i understand but, that doesnt make the pain any better :/

Anon, I understand. That’s a tough position to be in. I think that you should be able to talk about and express these experiences and…

I don’t want to assert my experiences as more important than anyone else’s, but I have a confession… it sometimes bothers me how many people seem to be “having fun” with being kin, when being kin has been deeply intertwined with a lot of emotional/mental health problems for me. The flashbacks that lead to my awakening were traumatic, and came on as a result of unrelated trauma. I can’t even do anything relating to “my” canon without feeling a surge of anxiety shoot through my body. (cont)…

…(cont). I don’t understand why my experience has to be so negative when many other people appear to not be nearly as impacted by being…

part 1/2 Do you think its possible for hearted people to have..memories from their hearttype? It sounds weird but I have no other idea how to put it. I’m Peridot-hearted (I used to think I was kin, and this was back in that time) and I had a vision when I was handing a paper to my teacher. I had a vision of being the the spaceship as seen in Steven Universe. The hallways were a green-ish color, to my left was a window full of stars. I was in the form of a Peridot, I had holding staff

2/2 or something behind my back, I was going to bestow it upon someone. It lasted less than a second before I was escorted back…

Felix, I get really embarrassed about being kin. I’m otherkin and fictionkin and I always see people making fun of them and I feel really bad. I want to suppress how I feel but I know I’ve already tried to do that and it didn’t work. I just wish I could be more comfortable being kin. Do you have any advice for dealing with feeling ashamed of being kin?

Hey anon, I hear you. I feel the same way sometimes. Its hard to be treated as strange, annoying, stupid, etc, and all the things…

I’m sorry, I know this is in your faq but I still don’t understand it. What exactly is being kin? Is it thinking you’re related to a character? I thought otherkin for example is literally thinking you are that kind of animal, so I thought being kin with a character meant literally thinking you are that character? And what is the difference to “id” and “double” and that kind of stuff? This is so confusing

byfcringe: Kin means you HEAVILY connect to that character almost like you ARE the character or are related to the character. ID means you just…

this isnt specific to anyone but i feel like someone could hear this. to those who are questioning a kintype take your time learning to understand and figure yourself out!! months ago i would feel this attached weight on my shoulders, and i assumed it would be wings, vague phantom feeling emerging of wings. but a few months later i realized what it was! the weight of charging cables that plugged into my back. i was an android. take your time figuring stuff out. try not to assume!

Thanks for sharing, anon! Great advice.

Factkin anon again, thank you for your help! My fiance is my mirror system, but I haven’t told them that I’m factkin, as I’m pretty ashamed of it. My biggest issue with soulbonding with the person I miss is that I couldn’t bear to keep him a secret from my fiance. They wouldn’t judge me, and in fact know I’m factkin but not with who, but I’m so uncomfortable with myself that I believe my partner wouldn’t accept it either.

Hey anon. I understand how self conscious you are about this whole thing. Its a shitty situation to be in. I think what you need…

Hey uh, this is the factkin anon. I usually handle missing someone by bringing them here as a soulbond, as I also have fictotypes. But uh… I’m in my factotype shift and I wouldn’t be at all comfortable having the person I miss in my system. But I miss him so bad it physically hurts, and I don’t know what to do about it. Inducing other shifts is difficult for me and I don’t trust my system members not to blab about why I’m upset if I have one front. They’re good people, I’m just a bit paranoid.

That sounds like a really complicated situation, anon. I’m not sure what advice to give you here. Missing people is really, really hard. But its…

Do you think there’s anything problematic about being ‘facthearted’, aka fictionhearted with an actual person? Like, I don’t feel that I’m currently/ever was him, but he does seem like an ideal version of me, like who I’d be if I had total freedom of expression, you know? Or maybe there’s a different term for that which I’m not aware of?

I don’t know if there’s a specific word for it (facthearted seems fine?), but honestly there is nothing wrong with seeing a celebrity and feeling…

We get discouraged by canon call blogs…. We are a system of fictives who would love to find our canon mates, but the body is 26, and a lot of the call blogs are minors. We would never discourage anyone from saying “no one over 18”, in fact we think that’s probably a good idea for minors! But it makes us feel like we won’t ever find our “people” and makes us feel like…. Like she’s too old to still be like this…. Can you help us? We feel so completely alone, and sometimes incredibly fake…

I know the feeling, anon. I’m 30 and that shuts me out of a lot of canon call blogs too. Being older doesn’t make you…

i think i feel wings on my back, but i’m not sure if it’s just me wishing for them. it feels like this heavy sort of shapeless ‘presence’ on my back, and i always want to reach back because it feels as though i could touch them (obviously, they’re never there). does this sound like astral limbs?

This does sound like at least the beginning of astral limbs, anon. However, if could also be ‘normal’ back pain. if you have a large chest…

Hey there. First off, you guys do great work here. Thank you for being nice and understanding and everything. Onto a question: I roleplay as my kintype, since that’s the only way I can let him out without judgement except with those closest to me. And I would like to start interacting with other kin (doesn’t have to be my canon, just so I can be me with other people). But I’m worried that people will think I’m posing or something because I RP. How can I let people know that’s not the case?

There are plenty of kin who roleplay as their kintype. I wouldn’t worry about it too  much 🙂
