Hello there! I’m new to kin and I have a few questions of you don’t mind answering them! question 1) I think I might kin with a character and I’m not quite sure but I have extremely strong feelings toward said character and I’m not sure how to go about them. What does this mean? Question 2) Is it normal, when kinning, to think “that’s me!” when you see a character you have strong feelings toward? Thats all i have but thanks in advance for reading this and possibly answering! Have a good day!

Also I’m the anon from the last ask with the 2 questions. Sorry if i might have made any misconceptions! I’m very new to this…

your thread with systemgatekeeper is the most wild thing i’ve ever seen in my life. the argument is going in circles and their only replies are basically “you’re wrong because i said so”. holy shit

Your blog is awesome and I’m enjoying reading what you post, but I’m curious – why do you offer rebuttals to comments like ‘Otherkin is a mental illness’ and so on so often? It seems like tiring and thankless work, and kinda like trying to mop up an ocean with a tissue. Wouldn’t it be wiser to just let them be wrong elsewhere?

youredoingkinwrong: Thank you!  Those comments are just what I see most often. I just kind of respond to what I think I can work with.…

Regarding “xenomnesia”: It’s possible you have a mental connection with a character. Or empathic. Some kind of connection that let you share thoughts or memories. Or maybe even: Is there any kind of otherkin “vessel” concept in use? Channeling someone? Or having them give you thoughts/memories somehow? (I’m an empath, and I know a lot of my synpath [non-kin, but very deeply understanding] connections have this effect on me, especially my primary “soulbond”.)

Absolutely. There’s lots of reasons that this phenomenon could occur. Fictionflickers come to mind too as a possible source for xenomnesia.

I think it’s cool how you treat people with weird kintypes with the same respect you’d treat anyone else. I’ve seen “elders” in the kin community talk about how they’d reject people whose kintypes were too “out there”, and I think that’s incredibly unfair. I mean, nobody HAS to accept anyone else, but… it’s just really hypocritical, you know? Even those “good” and “allowable” kintypes are batshit to people outside of the community.

Even those “good” and “allowable” kintypes are batshit to people outside of the community. Exactly, anon.  In my worldview, thanks to multiverse theory, there’s just…

Is there a word for identifying as a fictional species, or fictional race of beings? Not one that was in canon, but someone from their same world. Is that still fictionkin? Is there a word for “I identify as that kind, but not that individual”? Also, is there a word for identifying as a fictional animal species? Is that fictionkin or therian?

This isn’t exactly fictionkin related but uh. How would one “channel” a character and mentally swap with them, for example to harness their strengths or something? To take on their identity for a while? What would that be called or like, do you know where I could start searching for information?

That’s called copinglink if you want to draw strength from and ‘become’ the character.  Check tumblr #copinglink for more information  Or if you want the character…

lillies-and-bones: Just because something gives you kinfeels or whatever doesn’t automatically mean it’s a kintype. Cameo shifts and fictionflickers exist and can be very misleading.…
