A character being dead canonically shouldn’t affect whether or not you’re kin of them. As a reincarnated kin myself, I tend to believe them being…
I tend to agree. This is something I’ve been turning over in my head for a while.
The question that has come up the most in my ten years in the community has been ‘is being kin a delusion, and are all kin…

These phenomena happen, but are not associated with fictionkin. They are called factkin and factives respectively.
Absolutely. People change between lives.
Yes, you can be fictionkin of a human character (i am). The only difference is that you are then not also ‘otherkin’. Otherkin are non-human only.
Its been months Still feeling very depressed and disillusioned by the state of the fictionkin community. I worry it can’t be fixed.

I will give you this one. Not liking your own personality is probably a pretty decent reason to avoid doubles of yourself.
I don’t think that sounds ridiculous at all. Most of my memories are small flashes, and sensations. A moment of the feeling of wind on…
Maybe “My kinself is” or “my kinself was” would help?
Ouch! This is definitely the multiverse rule in practice. You happen to be from a version of the universe that was just a bit sillier…
I’m so glad that I could help! I think Soulbonding is an important concept that sometimes gets lost to the wayside of other experiences.
