I’m questioning a kintype right now, but I only have a few memories which are vague in nature, a vague feeling of homesickness for the universe the character comes from and feelings of guilt and responsibility for one of the characters dying and another being severely injured. Would you say that this still counts as a kintype, or do you think it’s something else?

Its certainly enough to continue questioning if you are this kintype if not enough to outright confirm it. Honestly, if you have memories (however vague)…

before i knew what otherkin were i got into a series and immediately felt a very close connection to one of the characters, as well as certain feelings about the character that turned out to be canon, though i hadn’t gotten nearly that far in the series. this feeling remained and now i’ve started playing it more again, it’s stronger than ever, i feel really nostalgic about locations and characters and am now questioning it as a kintype. does it sound like it or could it maybe be something else?

It sounds like it is definitely a possible kintype, and worth exploring whether it is or not! If its not a kintype, it might also…

i am so damn confused. i’ve spent two years now thinking that i might be fictionkin, but i can’t come to definite answer. i’ve tended to push away any feelings (or memories???) of my kin that i have, because i don’t know what the hell to do with them. but they always come back, with bigger force. i have no idea if i AM fictionkin, or fictionhearted, or some other term that I don’t even know yet because there are so many to learn. i don’t even know why i sent this ask. im just so confused.

If you have to push away these feelings and they keep coming back, that’s a good indication that you may be kin, or have a…

So I’m a little confused. I have characters and animals/creatures who are not Soulbonds or Kin but who do mean a great deal to me. However their backgrounds/lives have little to no similarity to my own. Does this still make me Fiction-/Otherhearted and they my Synpaths, or is this just Feels and [whatever the acceptable term is for a white person’s spiritual animal guide, if there is one]?

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,…

Different anon. The realmultipleadvice, by their own stance, doesn’t respect kin though. They deny it exists, which is fine there will be a difference in beliefs, but then they also say that it’s incredibly unhealthy to be kin even as a coping method. Which is insulting to the belief system and a major issue kin would have with the people running that blog.

That’s fair, and I can see where you are coming from with that stance. I’ll admit I find their position somewhat ironic, given that they…

Out of curiosity, are you okay with regular not-nounself neopronouns? You know, the ones that actually follow the rules of English? I was just curious because I read your about and it said you don’t like “nounself neopronouns,” and I got confused. In any case, your blog is fantastic and I think you’re awesome and intelligent. Thanks! -a curious dragon

is it a common thing to get memories and stuff from fanworks? like, fanfiction and things like that. i read a fic for one of my fickintypes recently and it felt like i was hit with a serious case of deja vu, like i was reading a description of something that happened to me, but this only happened once i’d gotten to a certain part of the fic

Fanworks can definitely trigger memories and feelings, especially if they capture something that was meaningful to you. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re kin specifically…
