It seems like it isn’t too uncommon for fictionkin to have negative towards a fictotype while awakening as that fictotype. You tried to convince yourself you weren’t Pearl from Steven Universe, I felt like my world was falling apart and it was hard, almost painful, for me to read or look at anything involving my fictotype, and I’ve seen other fictionkin have negative reactions while awakening as fictionkin. Have you any idea why this is?

I don’t think its too surprising that a lot of people have a negative reaction toward awakening. There are days where I feel like a…

Hi! Uh.. I think I may be robotkin? I keep looking at human stuff really curiously/weirdly and I really love being near robots. Whenever I think about them I’m calm and all. I’m not sure though. But if I’d be kin, that’d be with a certain robot character that I rp as. Everytime my friend writes something, I keep telling myself how it’s wrong and how it didn’t happen? I don’t know how ro explain this

You could indeed be robotkin, anon, which would be why your friend’s writing makes you uncomfortable. It doesn’t line up with what you know subconsciously…

What are kinfeels?

Kinfeels are: strong feelings experienced in reaction to exposure to one’s kintype or possible kintype. (including nostalgia, homesickness, dysphoria, grief, excitement, longing,anomalous physical feelings, etc.)…

I uh have a philosophical(?) question to ask about fictionkin? If there are infinite universes, how and why is a person reincarnated?currently is a specific character? Why was this person chosen out of infinite persons in any other of the many universes? Is it simply fate or something more? -Just a curious person with questions who does not wish to offend

This is a fascinating and open ended question, anon. Honestly, no one has the answer to this– we all must draw our own conclusions as…

Do you mind explaining to me exactly what being fictionkin means and how it makes sense? No hate, im just trying to gain a better understanding. A friend recently told me they were fictionkin and im having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

Hey anon. For the short version check out this post: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/146004356372/hey-i-have-a-question-i-hope-it-doesnt-bother for the long version check out my website: http://fictionkin.net/

Hey, i have a question. I hope it doesn’t bother you that i’m asking.(if so i’m sorry please ignore this.) I think I might be fictionkin but i’m still kind of confused about what it is if that makes sense. I would greatly appreciate if you could give me a basic definition.(sorry if this is a confusing question it’s just i’ve seen a lot of fictionkin and feel it’s possible i might be but haven’t found a clear/ respectful definition.)

I hope this helps, anon! What are fictionkin? Fictionkin; (noun): Fictionkin: Someone who discovers through personal experiences and phenomena that they are spiritually or mentally…

Is there something between kin and soulbonding? Cause I have a lot of I guess, fictive headmates, who, when I see them in their canon I’m like “that’s me” and I have memories from them and physical responses and feel wrong in my body when they’re “out” but I still talk with them and RP and write as them. They’re me, or I’m them, but I’m also still me and they’re still them. I know I’m not making a ton of sense. They def. “front” or “co-front”, and sometimes they do things for me I won’t remember

It sounds like what you’re experiencing is co-conciousness/blending with your headmates, anon. This happens sometimes, esspecially when headmates spend a lot of time together at…

I recently started crawling into the skin of a canon character that I roleplay, but in my normal life. I’ve realized how comfortable it is for me, and that I’ve done this all my life, just haven’t had anyone support it since I was a child. I have feelings from him needing contact with his friends (provided by some of my friends), and feel wonderful when people call me his name. But I’m not sure I’m kin. I feel more like this character came out of me, rather than me coming from them. (1 of 2)

(2/2) He developed from my interest in him, he hasn’t necessarily been there all my life in his current form. But I also did not…

So, recently went through an awakening period (thank you for your help with that, again) and have been settling in and acclimating to being Demonkin. That said, after talking to those closest to me, I’ve been informed that apparently my general vocal pattern has changed. Like, general vocabulary choice, tonal inflection, patter, and even standard speaking pitch. Is that a common occurrence? I’m very new to this, and I wondering if others experience this phenomenon. Thank you!

Its possible that since you’ve awakened you’re going through a heavy shift, where you’re simply MORE your demon self than usual. Its also possible you’re…

In terms of spiritual otherkin, do some know what order their past lives were in? Most tell me my angel past life has to have been the most recent, and I’m wondering if they’re right? I mean, personally it isn’t the strongest feeling I have but they seem to think you have to have had been an angel in the most recent past life. Thoughts?

Yes, some people know, or suspect what order their lives occured in. I have a strong feeling that for me it was Vriska > Ken…

Is it possible to feel like you have ‘phantom powers’. Like Scarlet Witch, she can see her powers and play around with them using her hands without using them. Is it possible to have a phantom sensation of that? Not actual powers of course, as you can’t physically shift, but ‘feeling’ as if they were there.

Absolutely, anon. That is actually a great way to describe that sensation, thank you! Its something I experience pretty heavily and haven’t really had a…

What amuses me is that there’s teenagers out there who think otherkin, soulbonding, and fictionkin is a “new” thing that started on tumblr.. I’m pretty sure I’ve been doing this longer than some of them have been alive (the teenagers anyway I can’t see a grown ass adult wasting their time arguing about this), and there’s people around-although not active on this site. Who’ve been at it longer than I’ve been alive.

Its a shame that its so hard to impart a sense of history through this medium. I feel like a lot of people would feel…

I’m struggling with my mindset right now. Everything is chaotic. Before in my life I’d get the occasional flash, a feeling… but now its all the time. I feel wings ever moment of every day, the weight of them causing knots of tension in my back and shoulders that others can feel. I remember things, so clearly, all in a rush like years of forgotten life. I’m struggling to handle so many memories. You were the first blog I found that talked about it. Can you help me understand? I’m freaking out.

Anon, it sounds like you’re going through a very difficult, troubling time. The kin community would probably call what you’re going through an Awakening period,…

Can you help me convince myself I’m not kin? I don’t think I am but a part of me still wants to hold onto the belief and search for feelings I’m not sure are there. I haven’t felt most of the “common kin feelings” that you list. Plus I’m worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep it a secret.

I donno, anon, I’m not big on repressing feelings, especially if they keep popping up. However, just wanting to be kin (searching for feelings that…

Ok so I’m very new to the whole fictionkin thing and I’m not sure if they would be considered my kin. I’ve never really shared memories but I have a very strong connection to them, like i see them and I feel like they are me. I’m just really confused and was hoping you could help

Unfortunately you’re the only one who can say for sure whether you’re kin or not. There posts should help you: http://fictionkin.net/fictionkin/how-to-find-your-kintype/ http://fictionkin.net/fictionkin/what-kin-experience-what-makes-people-kin/
