Hello! For a long while now, almost longer than I can remember, I’ve always felt like there’s been something missing from me. As if I’m trying to find an answer to a question I haven’t even thought to ask yet. Recently I discovered the concept of fickin and something really clicked with me, but I haven’t discovered anyone I might be kin with. Is it possible I might be fickin but simply don’t know with who yet? I’m afraid I might just be reaching :/

It is absolutely possible that you’re fictionkin, but haven’t found your ‘source’ yet. You could also be Otherkin, which is like being ficionkin, but without a…

Is it normal to not really miss your fictionkin past? I actually don’t miss my previous life at all. I find it interesting from a fictional/entertainment standpoint, but I wouldn’t choose to go back. Neither it nor the people I knew hold any real sentimental value to me. Anonymous because people would just call me a special snowflake or something, but it’s true. I’m not even sure why I awakened to a past life that held no emotional impact for me.

I can’t say whether your experience is ‘normal’ or not I would not say it was typical at all, but it is uniquely your experience. I…

My question is are mental shifts a ‘kin thing or a system thing? I thought (from what I’ve read elsewhere) a mental shift is the same as what Tumblr refers to as “kin feels”-feeling extremely connected to your kintype’s mentality or memories for a short time. I also thought “fronting” was the system equivalent (although a lot stronger, like switching the driver in a carpool so to speak). Tumblr has messed up my understanding of terminology elsewhere and I wasn’t sure if it did here, too.

Ahhh, I see. Simple enough, In fact, you’re entirely correct. Shifting is an Otherkin term (specifically originating in the Therian / Were community I believe)…

On your “kin vs. multiple” thing, you never really explained mental shifts (m-shifts) as such, only a “shift”. If I’m not mistaken, this is when one kintype becomes more prominent but you do not request name/pronoun changes, correct? (I mean, someone can still do so if they want to, but of their own accord.) I’ve experienced mental and phantom shifts both together and separately and while your explanation cleared up a lot I’m still a bit lost. Thanks!

I’m sorry if my explanation confused you. I tried to keep it simple for those who are not part of the community, and/or are questioning…

Hey, so..I’ve never understood kin at all until recently. I started playing a game and I feel very intensely for a character. Not that they are even my favourite which is likely due to my own feelings towards myself. But when I try to read fics of her, I feel like someone is writing about me and feel uncomfortable. Everything about them feels like me, like we’re one or connected. But I’m not a spiritual person, and I’m not sure I believe in souls. Do you think I could still count as fictionkin?

People believe in fictionkin in many different ways. Some people who don’t believe in spirits or souls believe fictionkin from a purely psychological perspective. I…

Hey, uhm…I’m just kinda trying to figure out what, exactly, I’m experiencing. I have had a particular connection with a certain character since I was about 12 years old. I don’t feel any spiritual or religious ties, or th I am her or her reincarnation. I am me, in control of my body, and I know that she isn’t a real, tangible person. She is in control of herself and largely/entirely independent of me, but it’s like she’s a guest in my head. I didn’t create her like a tulpa. She’s like a casual

–observer. I’m not sure how to catalogue this, and was just wondering what your take on it is. She’s a ‘villain’ who is largely hated…

Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the…
