tourma-lines: fromfiction: #YAKIN: 16-24 (young adult)#OAKIN: 25+? (older adult) IDK these are just suggestions?? Actually, these tags might have to be different? these already have…

i understand exactly where youre coming from in relating better to people in your age group people in their young teens dont have the same maturity level as those in their older teens to those in their early twenties, late twenties, thirties, so on. i think its a great idea to have a network for the older members of the community, or a network for any age group in the community who can relate to each others experiences and issues! its a great idea!

Thank you! I wish I could take credit for the idea, haha.

Hey, I was wondering if you might be able to help me out with something. I know you specialize on fictionkin but… recently a person told me that they are factkin with me. Not as a joke like some people’s “I’m factkin with this” sort of thing but actually legit factkin with me. And it really has me freaking out a bit and scared because I have a very unstable sense of identity so it really ran me through a loop. How can I cope with this? What should I do? Any advice appreciated!

Hi there, anon. I’m sorry that it took me 40 minutes to answer this ask, since I was on lunch as normally this is the…

forcepirate: rottenpeachblossoms: Can we get a kin tag for otherkin like 25+? Most of the shit in the current kin tags is cringey af or…

is it unusual to actively not want to meet anyone from your canon, but to want to meet people from other canons? I rather badly hurt the main characters in my canon and I’m sure they wouldn’t want anything to do with me (and I’d have nothing to say to them anyways), but I think I could be good friends with certain people from other canons.

This doesn’t sound too unusual to me, anon. I generally enjoy meeting people from other canons/sources than my own too. 

The Persona 5 game just got a release date, and with the new trailer I feel a little too much like they just put me in it with one of the characters revealed. I went through this with P4 and found out I soulbonded one of the characters and wasn’t actually kin (I was like super panicked about it for a while). Now I’m just like, ho-hum please don’t do this. Idk. Just wanted to share I guess, bc I don’t ever talk kin or soulbonds on tumblr. It’s just frustraing at this point. You ever deal w this?

Oh yeah, anon. I hear you. Sometimes I see a glimpse of something, in a trailer, or a list on youtube or something and I;m…

I saw a term recently that I thought would be helpful for the community as a whole. For characters that you relate to intensely/exemplify your personality and aesthetic in this life but are not kin with I have seem people call them Aesthetic Characters. It’s different from Comfort Characters in that while comfort characters bring comfort these characters are just kind of like pointing and going “same!”

That sounds like an awesome term. Thanks, anon!

soulbonder: Hello to everyone from /r/tumblrinaction who is looking at this blog! Feel free to ask questions ^^ PS: The Sarah Saga was a hoax.

forcepirate: I don’t even notice kin shifts half the time anymore, sometimes it’s such subtle things. “Oh I’m holding my coffee cup like Ben did” or…

Is it normal/common to be shifted nearly every day? I had a short mental shift yesterday and a longer phantom shift today into my fictotype, and most days I feel phantom body parts (but usually it’s cat-like ears or bird-like wings (but not both) that I feel, which are not a part of any kintype I know of, I only know of one so far). I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask, so sorry if it isn’t. Thanks in advance ~N.

Asking whats normal or not in the alterhuman community is a mixed bag. In my *personal* experience, I tend to shift a lot, and more…

This might be beyond your ability to answer, but do you have any advice for ‘kin who suffer with delusions? I don’t feel my kinness is inherently a delusion, but I do feel at times my experiences with it contribute to an inability to differentiate between fiction/reality. My grasp on reality can be fragile when I get into bad states, and I’m not sure how to keep infalsifiable memories and emotions from triggering a reality break.

I’m really sorry anon, I’m really ill equipped to give you advice about delusions and separating them from non-delusional internal experiences. Speaking from personal experience…

I’m kin with a character from a folktale. Would I qualify as fictionkin? I can’t find any evidence that the events happened in this world, so I assume it happened on another Earth and since it’s been written down and published, I feel like I qualify. On the other hand I’ve seen people use the term immortalkin and I was immortal for a while. (It’s complicated; Death eventually let me die after a while.) What’s the correct term for someone in my situation?

People use lots of little words to boil down their kin experience. Just because someone says they’re immortalkin doesn’t make them not otherkin. Think of…

question.. is it okay to be friends with 2 people that ID as the same character? i know 2 people that both id as papyrus and i love them both but i don’t want to offend either of them or have them get mad at me. i have a feeling they’ll cross paths and get very angry with me.

alter-human: imyonqsoo: fromfiction: That’s a hard question, anon. My immediate ‘gut instinct’ answer is that of course you can be friends with both of them. However,…

is there such a thing as a ‘non-kin id’?? like you can point at a character and unironically say ‘me! thats me’ but you dont think you were them in a past life or anything?? is that chara a synpath or are you fiction-hearted?? what if you change and you no longer id as that chara?? can u have a crush on your own id?? im sorry if this question has been asked before but im just very confused
