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

The pronouns I’m comfortable using for people for now, are he, she, and singular ‘they’. I think its important for our language to have a pronoun…

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…

1/2 I very conflicted. I’ve been doubting this entire identity lately. When I battle my doubts, am I just denying the truth? Do I fabricate my kinfeels and memories to fit into this identity? Am I just using to cope, to fill the empty void in my identity depression left there? Am I just doing this to belong, because I don’t belong anywhere else? Then there’s a whole other series of “what-ifs.” I want to say I’m being too hard on myself, that this is truly where my heart lies and I have figured

2/3 myself out.But I also want to say I’m deluded and crazy, that this is just a fun game my brain put together for me,…

hello! this may seem like a silly question but i was wondering if its okay to have really strong emotional reactions to your canon and memories and such? like i tell myself to “get over it, that life is over” but i sometimes think of something that happened in canon or one of my memories. or think about people i loved. and occasionally i’ll just break down crying because of canonsickness. i guess i’m just looking for validation that its ok to feel that way at times? do you ever experience this?

Anon, my friend, this is completely normal and okay. I, and a lot of people, get upset about things that happen in canon, and memories,…

Do you think it’s possible for a fictive consciousness in one system to jump to another system? And still have the ability to jump back? I’m a gateway system and I have a friend who is too. We have a few consciousnesses who have the ability to do that, but just between us. I have a consciousness who says he has the ability to go between me and his actor. I believe him, I’m just curious if this has happened with anybody else.

Yes, I believe this. It used to happen with me and my best friend back in the day, though our headspaces are more closed off…

So, I just sort of started wondering if I’m kin with a certain character. I didn’t know what that was until a few days ago when I saw a post about it and I started to wonder about a character that immediately became familiar to me. After reading the post, I thought about it a bit and I started thinking things like, “Yeah, I do that, too….” I have, however, had a fickin experience where I immediately saw myself in a different character, so I’m not as sure about this character. Can you help me?

captain-s-mindfang: With the end of Homestuck, I’ve started a new blog. @vriska-rereads-homestuck I’m reading and analyzing it page by page, with a specific eye for…

What should I do if I find out someone in the kin community is faking? I have evidence that a rather popular fictionkin in the Homestuck community is lying about being kin, but I don’t know if I should expose them or not. It seems kind of like a dick move to start that kind of drama… but isn’t it also a dick move to not inform the people they’re screwing with? They’re not SERIOUSLY hurting anyone, but still.

I have mixed feelings about this, anon. I suppose my question is this. How do you know they’re faking? If you have proof/screenshots of them…

Hi! A kinype I had might actually be a fiction-hearted connection after questioning a little bit. But there are still things that kinda support it being a past life? Like, why I was always scared of this or that, I predicted a few big events in the book, the universe feels “real” to me, etc. But I feel my actual connection to the character might be leaning more towards hearted?

Only you can decide how to define your internal experience, anon. If you think it feels more fiction-hearted than fictionkin, that’s up to you. Nothing…
