So, I’m questioning fictionkin, but I don’t know who exactly, nor do I have much interest in consuming the suspected canon (… homestuck..). I’ve recently though, had frequent wing shifts (feathered, two sets, grey-blue in color) and wonder if I were to look a list of winged hs characters might help narrow it down a bit?

Oof, I’m sorry to hear that, anon. I’m going to level with you, you’re probably going to have to suck it up and read Homestuck…

Hey, I’m Fictionkin and I don’t get memories very often, I get them usually when I focus on my kintype while meditating but sometimes I think they aren’t real memories, they are just things I wish happened or are just putting in my head. It’s very confusing, the memories seem very familiar and real but there’s something in the back of my mind saying it’s not.

Getting memories that don’t have an anchor in our concrete lives is always confusing, anon. Just remember, any memories you have, even if they ARE…

So something has been bothering me for a very long time- I’m hskin, but the thing is I’m 99.9% sure that I’m 3 bloody characters from the same timeline- Dirk, Dave, and Hal. I recognized my kinfeels for Hal first, but Dave was the one I confirmed first, then Dirk about a month later, and I confirmed Hal a couple weeks ago, but it’s bothering the hell out of me. I want to believe that I’m simply mixing myself up, but I have very distinct memories for each and each shift feels very different.(1/2)

(2/2)The thing is, it’s all the same bloody timeline and it’s frustrating. Some memories are the same scene from different points of view, but each…

is it normal to have kinfeels that you dont notice over the months/years, yet suddenly when seeing the actual source material it hits so hard that you end up extremely freaked out and depressed over what happened and you cant stop crying and getting so painfully emotional over sudden flashbacks of memories, knowing that what youve felt all along finally has meaning, and having this all happen within 48 hours? can i still say im them?

I can’t tell you whether you’re kin or not, but what you describe is pretty much what happened to my fiancee when she first saw…

tbh i cant tell if im fictionkin or copinglink. i dont get memories or homesickness but i get really strong emotions n stuff. but after reading about fictionkin (i knew what otherkin was so i tried seeing if there was a “fictional character eqivilant”) i thought “wow thats way more involved than i am” in that i dont really get memories and i dont really think it’s spiritual. n with all the c’link stuff going around i was like “i guess that makes sense” but i started evaluating it and well (1/2)

(2/2) well i’m starting to think that maybe i was fictionkin all along anyway, and i’m just dwelling too much on things. im not good…

Is it bad to sort of not like being fictionkin/otherkin, and rather just be a polytherian? I don’t really like the culture and stuff around fictionkin/otherkin, especially on tumblr. Plus, therian seems easier to explain (just being therian, because I am a polytherian), and it sucks more because I have a psychological kintype. Is this bad? Any advice?

I can’t really blame you for not wanting to associate with the community and culture of otherkin/fictionkin, anon. However, what I can say is what…

Is it weird to look at reader insert fanfic of you x a relative of yours in a past life? As in, not incest and viewing it from your past life’s perspective, but acknowledging that this is a completely different life and viewing it from that perspective. What about you x a different canon? Both my friend and I were curious about the morals around this.

I am really not the person to ask the perspective of this, anon, but I will give it a shot, with the caveat that I…

i think i may be fictionhearted but i’m not entirely sure? especially because the character i think i am fictionheart/ed (?) with is my own OC… i have a really deep connection to him (that isn’t romantic or sexual or anything) and i have a rlly strong desire to be him.. also i’m a maladaptive daydreamer and this OC is my ‘idealised self’. i have avpd and saw that self-deserting behaviour is common, which i do, and i sort of feel like i’m constantly trying to ‘role play’ almost as my OC (1)

(2) and just completely ignore my actual self.. so do you think i’m fictionhearted ?.. I can’t comment on your mental illnesses/symptoms. However, disregarding them,…

“partially as” anon: what is a hearttype? I’ve never heard that before. With me it’s a persistent feeling that I’m nonhuman (currently going with fey but not 100% sold) that’s been around for a long time, but it comes and goes so I don’t really relate to a lot of people who say that they feel like they’re currently not human and they’re really a fairy wandering around in the human world. I am human, and the part that feels nonhuman is just a part of me, I guess. It’s not always important

Hearttype is to fictionhearted/otherhearted as kintype is to fictionkin/otherkin. As for the rest of your ask, that sounds like an interesting experience, anon. I’m not…

Not fictionkin related, but is there a word for feeling like a /part/ of you is something, but not necessarily the whole of you? I know otherhearted is a thing, but that’s always defined as identifying with something, not as, whereas this is more identifying partially as something, but not wholly? IDK I might just be imagining it but I would kind of like to know

Hearttype might cover it? Like maybe call it a minor hearttype or partial hearttype? Or synpath if you’re just relating to a part of their…

I just saw a post saying I couldn’t have a certain kintype unless I had the exact same disability they had because I wouldn’t understand their experience. The thing is that the character is a CAT and I very obviously don’t experience being a cat right now either :/ the logic in those types of posts seems faulty

The logic in those posts is completely non-existent, anon, and you can feel free to ignore them. The very basis of being kin is about…

i use fictional characters as like a way to figure out who i am?? like, finding a character who’s like me in a way makes me very happy! i wouldn’t even mind if someone called me that charas name as like a nickname! but sometimes i wonder if anyone else does this? i think its just a Teen Thing but idk i wanna know what you think??

I think that’s a pretty normal thing, and that’s not bad! Characters are meant to touch us, and make us empathize with them. 🙂 If…

Is it strange that I experience my kin memories different than my non-kin memories? My non-kin memories are mainly visual, while my kin memories are mainly physical. Could it be that in my kin life, my memories were more physical, so in this life I remember what physically happened more? (And sorry if this question is pointless)

I don’t think its pointless, anon, I think that;s very interesting! Its very possible that as your kinself you had a different way of processing…
