i follow a fickin confession blog, and so many ppl say how they miss folks from their canon, and I’m just like?? How do you know they aren’t already a part of your life? This goes especially for spiritual fickin. Souls tend to stick together as they reincarnate, I’ve noticed this with my own life–I have several ppl in this life, 2 in particular (a soul mate and a twin flame) that have been a constant throughout all of my past lives, and are from my “canon”.

Some people feel more cut off than others. But its true. You never know who’s near.

I assume fictionkin and fictives feel dysphoria, but do fichearted? Like looking in the mirror and going “I’m not the right person”. Someone I know is trying to determine whether they’re kin or just fictionhearted and I feel like -hearted people wouldn’t feel dysphoria since they don’t believe they are that character?

I;m not fiction-hearted myself, so I can’t speak for them, but I would imagine that being fiction hearted wouldn;t cause dysphoria.

you could say that person was holding a prejudiced viewpoint. but not a racist one, in such a situation. and while you might think your views are completely separate from your race, gender, etc, consider that all of these things affect the way you think on a subconscious level?? These things all affect your opinions. (I don’t even disagree with you on the argument you made. Just don’t like the way you handled that anon.)

That’s fair, anon. I agree, the person was prejudiced, and probably not actively racist. I chose my wording carefully, to make them think about what…

I’m poking around your blog but I haven’t found an answer to this so do excuse me if this has been asked before. But, when you are fictionkin, are you not allowed to have any identity outside of the person/being you are kinning with? Are you not supposed to have any other traits? Do you share a soul or is the soul purely from the person you kin with? In which case how would you have any identity of your own? Been curious about this for some time especially while trying to figure out my identity.

Of course fictionkin have identities of their own.  The analogy I use is this. Imagine being five years old. You’re a very different person now,…

t hank you for making an explanation on fiction-hearted, I’ve been wondering for a while and now I know that I’m Fiction-hearted!!!

You’re welcome! I am really glad that it helped you. info on fiction-hearted for the curious: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/123135988427/i-identify-a-lot-with-wirt-otgw-his http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/123135338372/so-i-feel-like-i-identify-with-this-character-and http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/123135177617/hi-i-was-just-reading-your-posts-about-being

for me (not the same anon), i’m not down with your whole “or you would have two individual headmates” definition because my headmates are not me so they wouldn’t be my past lives or whatever. even if i had a headmate who was the same person i’m ficitonkin of, that headmate would be different and not me. ymmv of course.

No, I completely agree with this. I worded the previous answer generously to allow for someone who hadn’t considered the possibility that the people they…

so i feel like i identify with this character and not as but i’m unsure. i know the term for this is either fictionheir or fiction hearted and i’m dying to know more about fictionheir. i really want to say proudly that i identify with this character but i am unsure if i do. what questions should i ask myself if i believe i’m fictionheir with (is that how you’d phrase it?) with this character?

Fiction hearted, and fictionheir are two terms for the same phenomenon.  Its easy to figure out if you’re fictionhearted/fictionheir or not.Look at the character that…

hi, i was just reading your posts about being fiction-hearted and i was hoping you could help me understand it better. i identify very strongly with a character. he is and has been very integral to my identity. i often have dreams where i am him. when i was younger i wished so hard it hurt that i could be like him. but i know that i am not actually him, rather that he is a part of me, because i’ve known of and loved him for over half my life. he is me but im not him. is that fiction-heartedness?

Yes, that’s a way of being fictionhearted. You keep the character close to you, admire them, and identify with them, and aspire to be them.
