oh goodness. I’ve… had a few butterfly wing shifts. Funnily enough, they’re the only wings I could see clearly: yellow, red, and green with black and clear patches kind of like stained glass. Unless that strikes any chords with you (or someone else?) I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and try reading it again.

It doesn’t sound immediately familiar to me, but maybe one of my readers. I think you’ll probably have to trudge through the comic. I recommend…

I’m 20 years old, and I’m confused and want to talk about… past life memories being triggered on accident??? Recently in my life, I’ve heard the Russian language nearly every other hour from basically any and all sources of media, a weird coincidence, but significant. This is the most I’ve been exposed to it in all my life, and the more I hear it, the more weird places my brain will go. (❄️1/2)

I remember a lot of guns and war and fear (I’m really against everything about military and these memories make me pretty sick tbh) and…

So, I’m questioning fictionkin, but I don’t know who exactly, nor do I have much interest in consuming the suspected canon (… homestuck..). I’ve recently though, had frequent wing shifts (feathered, two sets, grey-blue in color) and wonder if I were to look a list of winged hs characters might help narrow it down a bit?

Oof, I’m sorry to hear that, anon. I’m going to level with you, you’re probably going to have to suck it up and read Homestuck…

Hey, I’m Fictionkin and I don’t get memories very often, I get them usually when I focus on my kintype while meditating but sometimes I think they aren’t real memories, they are just things I wish happened or are just putting in my head. It’s very confusing, the memories seem very familiar and real but there’s something in the back of my mind saying it’s not.

Getting memories that don’t have an anchor in our concrete lives is always confusing, anon. Just remember, any memories you have, even if they ARE…

So something has been bothering me for a very long time- I’m hskin, but the thing is I’m 99.9% sure that I’m 3 bloody characters from the same timeline- Dirk, Dave, and Hal. I recognized my kinfeels for Hal first, but Dave was the one I confirmed first, then Dirk about a month later, and I confirmed Hal a couple weeks ago, but it’s bothering the hell out of me. I want to believe that I’m simply mixing myself up, but I have very distinct memories for each and each shift feels very different.(1/2)

(2/2)The thing is, it’s all the same bloody timeline and it’s frustrating. Some memories are the same scene from different points of view, but each…

forcepirate: Don’t let people harass you over your kin types for any reason. It literally does not affect them in any way. I don’t care…

is it normal to have kinfeels that you dont notice over the months/years, yet suddenly when seeing the actual source material it hits so hard that you end up extremely freaked out and depressed over what happened and you cant stop crying and getting so painfully emotional over sudden flashbacks of memories, knowing that what youve felt all along finally has meaning, and having this all happen within 48 hours? can i still say im them?

I can’t tell you whether you’re kin or not, but what you describe is pretty much what happened to my fiancee when she first saw…

tbh i cant tell if im fictionkin or copinglink. i dont get memories or homesickness but i get really strong emotions n stuff. but after reading about fictionkin (i knew what otherkin was so i tried seeing if there was a “fictional character eqivilant”) i thought “wow thats way more involved than i am” in that i dont really get memories and i dont really think it’s spiritual. n with all the c’link stuff going around i was like “i guess that makes sense” but i started evaluating it and well (1/2)

(2/2) well i’m starting to think that maybe i was fictionkin all along anyway, and i’m just dwelling too much on things. im not good…

For me, i have primary (kintypes i am currently shifting into pretty often), secondary (kintypes i still feel strongly but i’m not experiencing shifts at the moment), and tertiary (kintypes that i still feel but i haven’t had a shift in a while). Then I have synpaths/hearttypes and a questioning list as well. -Organization anon

Very interesting! It makes me wonder how often do you have to update your lists? I’m so lazy I haven’t even updated m soulbond list…

i guess the main thing is that it kind of hurts, here i am thinking that i’ve found a really good and informative blog about something that plays a pretty big role in my life, basically giving the vibe that because i have tiers of kintypes, that i’m less valid than those who dont. and man, it is really disappointing

I never said you were less valid. Also, I despise ‘validity’ as a concept. The original question I was asked was ‘ When looking at someone’s…

in a sense, it is. though there’s also, for me, levels of how connected i feel to the kintype. like facts are facts and i know that im kin with specific characters because i have the memories.. but sometimes i dont want to be or i dont feel like i’ve retained much of my old selves/self whatever (grammer is confusing) in this life. it’s really hard to explain because not everyone who has kintypes will feel this way but for some of us, not all kintypes are equal, and we are valid

And that’s a fair way to feel, anon, and a fair way to categorize things for yourself. Like I said, I don’t actually have anything…

as someone who has “primary/secondary” kintypes, for me it’s like… sometimes i’m not sure if i’m kin with a character or not. or sometimes i have less memories and it makes me unsure. this is what define primary/secondary for me: how close i am to figuring out beyond any sort of doubt whether or not i am kin with a character

This makes sense to me but tells me that only your primary kintypes are your actual confirmed kintypes and everything else is just things that…

Is it bad to sort of not like being fictionkin/otherkin, and rather just be a polytherian? I don’t really like the culture and stuff around fictionkin/otherkin, especially on tumblr. Plus, therian seems easier to explain (just being therian, because I am a polytherian), and it sucks more because I have a psychological kintype. Is this bad? Any advice?

I can’t really blame you for not wanting to associate with the community and culture of otherkin/fictionkin, anon. However, what I can say is what…

Is it weird to look at reader insert fanfic of you x a relative of yours in a past life? As in, not incest and viewing it from your past life’s perspective, but acknowledging that this is a completely different life and viewing it from that perspective. What about you x a different canon? Both my friend and I were curious about the morals around this.

I am really not the person to ask the perspective of this, anon, but I will give it a shot, with the caveat that I…
