I’m not usually one to seek to people on the Internet for help but I’m so desperate and I really enjoy following your blog so I thought you might be able to help. I’m in high school and my bf has a different group of friends and I can’t push myself to speak up and talk to them or sit with them half the times story dislike it for me. Another boy in his friend group has a gf whom they all love and I really don’t know how to push myself to make them like me? Please help

Hi there, anon! 🙂 I’m sorry you’ve been having social trouble like this. Highschool is hard, because people are forced to socialize with one another…

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…

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…

I honestly don’t know how you put up with the annoying teenagers who don’t believe in otherkin (and sometime non binary genders), so I’d like to congratulate you for somehow managing to stay on here to help other people. You’re probably the best fictionkin blog I know, and your soulbonder one is the only one I’ve seen on the site.

Thank you, anon, I really appreciate the praise. Tumblr’s honestly the most hostile environment I’ve ever hosted a blog, which is sad, because its also…

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/

oh goodness. I’ve… had a few butterfly wing shifts. Funnily enough, they’re the only wings I could see clearly: yellow, red, and green with black and clear patches kind of like stained glass. Unless that strikes any chords with you (or someone else?) I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and try reading it again.

It doesn’t sound immediately familiar to me, but maybe one of my readers. I think you’ll probably have to trudge through the comic. I recommend…

I’m 20 years old, and I’m confused and want to talk about… past life memories being triggered on accident??? Recently in my life, I’ve heard the Russian language nearly every other hour from basically any and all sources of media, a weird coincidence, but significant. This is the most I’ve been exposed to it in all my life, and the more I hear it, the more weird places my brain will go. (❄️1/2)

I remember a lot of guns and war and fear (I’m really against everything about military and these memories make me pretty sick tbh) and…

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…

For me, i have primary (kintypes i am currently shifting into pretty often), secondary (kintypes i still feel strongly but i’m not experiencing shifts at the moment), and tertiary (kintypes that i still feel but i haven’t had a shift in a while). Then I have synpaths/hearttypes and a questioning list as well. -Organization anon

Very interesting! It makes me wonder how often do you have to update your lists? I’m so lazy I haven’t even updated m soulbond list…
