hey i just wanted to say that if ur fictionkin w/ a character and u are really upset by some1 else being that character, theres nothing wrong with that. directly confronting them and telling them to stop would be a bad idea, but just asking ppl w/ the same fickin as you to avoid u/not follow you is perfectly fine and normal. theres nothing you can really do to “resolve” it but stand back and try to forget it, which sucks, but it can be necessary sometimes to ur health.

If you feel like you need to avoid anyone who is the same character as you are, by all means do that. Just don’t be…

I’m also having dreams that I think might point to me being fictionkin, but I don’t know how to explore it further. I’ve tried watching the series that aligns with my dreams but I didn’t feel any immediate familiarity, only a nagging sense of “this is relevant somehow”. Do you have any suggestions for what I can do from here?

I do have a few suggestions as it happens. Try watching other series that share common elements from the one that you think aligns with…

Recently, I’ve been having really vivid nightmares. Each time, I find myself in a city area surrounded by coffins. Every time I wake up, I get stuck with this weird feeling that I can’t explain. I told my friend about it and he said it sounds exactly like Persona 3. I looked up Persona 3, and the feeling came back full force. Now I’m really nervous that this might be my awakening. I just wanna know, if this is my awakening, will I be able to still live life normally?

That sounds like Persona 3 alright. I would advise you to be *very* careful if you play the game, because its likely to hit you…

I awoke as Silver the Hedgehog, but it doesnt feel right. Firstly Im dragonkin so I know what it feels like to have a connection, but with him it feels different. I didnt pay much attention to him before finding out about fictionkin. He was compelling but I never missed his life like I miss dragons. And I dont feel “good enough” to be Silver. Hes just where Im apathetic about people in need. It feels kinda rude to id as him. Hes someones creation how can I say Im him when I dont know if its true

“Hes someones creation how can I say Im him when I dont know if its true”, you can the same way we all can, by…

ive been thinking i might be fictionkin but i cant seem to find anyone else who identifies with the “species” and im very confused and dont know how to figure out if i am or not and im very intimidated by the community and people potentially looking down on me and dont want to tell anyone. i see a lot of support for specific fictional character kin but not so much for fictional race kin and im very confused is there any advice you would possibly have?? thank you ;;

As someone who has a hard time finding others of their ‘kintype’/from my universe, I sympathize with you. I also sympathize when you say you’re…

hello! im a fictionkin and i need a lil advice, for the canon im in, one of the most popular pairings is the one i hate the most, because the character im paired with was Literally abusive and Evil to me, i have a lot of frustration about it, is that silly? does anyone feel like this sometimes too? :^(

Hello! I’m sorry you’re in a frustrating situation. I think that’s a feeling a lot of fictionkin have had- at least, I know I’ve been…

Elsen again — I’d need to “apologize” bc when I was away at college I didn’t have a job, and so I would use my parents’ money to buy useless stuff (I started collecting vintage toys like crazy because there were a lot) to play up the whole “daydreamer/eccentric/permanent child” archetype. I must have spend at least $500 over the last three years. They’re paying all my hospital bills and stuff and here I was buying junk bc “that’s just the way I am” and it’s not even the way I *actually* am…

Well, here is my advice. We all do stupid things in our youth. Its a period of finding yourself, and learning who you are- for…

Elsen again — no, the thing is… I don’t know how familiar you are with “OFF” but Elsen aren’t very… “exciting.” Basically they kinda just take orders. And I’m starting to realize that the main reason I act so vocally eccentric is because people have always told me that it’s “better to stand out.” I don’t -like- standing out! I’m just doing it because I’m “supposed” to. So either way I’m still taking orders… I just feel like a decade plus of misconceptions is too much to apologize for.

I don’t really see what you have to apologize for, personally. But then, I don’t really see a way out of your situation either. I…

so uh a few days ago i think i awakened as an Elsen from OFF and it explains SO much about myself, but the thing is it also means that a huge chunk of my “personality” was just a front so people didn’t see my (extremely dull and persuadable) inner self, and now i’m flipping back and forth between denial and acceptance because on one hand i feel so -right- accepting it but on the other this will offput a lot of people because i’ve been acting as “the outgoing eccentric” for a decade. advice?

I feel conflicted in the advice I should give you, my friend, so I’m afraid I may not be as helpful as you might wish.…

I think I might be Fictionkin. I never really truly understood what fictionkin was until people began to ask me if I was fictionkin with the character I now believe I am, and I researched it. It makes me kinda uneasy, because I’ve talked about fictionkin with friends and I know they dont think its a thing so I’m getting nervous about it. Part of me hopes I’m just going through a lil bit of a phase but I think I’ve always identified with the character,,, I dunno… I’m confused.

Discovering that you’re fictionkin can be a scary and confusing thing, especially when your local friends don’t understand or believe you. My advice for now…
