Not necessarily. Personally, I consider most different universe versions of a person different people soul-wise. For instance I don’t think I share a soul with…
Not if the person that someone is claiming to be is alive currently in this universe.
Here’s the biggest callout post about them: http://senjougahara13.tumblr.com/post/109630290999/calling-out-kitsunyxizuru EDIT 5/9/17: post is no longer there. Here is an arcgive version https://archive.is/MYpVu
Hey again, anon. I understand your anxiety about that, trust me. As someone who’s had some of this type of hate directed at me, I…
You’re just as legitimate as ever, anon. People definitely receive memories in different ways and experience them in different intensities. (Though if you have frequent…
Nope, not at all, anon. While there are lots (perhaps a majority, though no formal poll exists) of spiritual/reincarnation based fictionkin, there are also plenty…
Its absolutely okay, anon ^^ For some people body stuff is not as big of a deal as for other people. Some people experience heavy…
In multiverse theory its possible yes. I guess in psychological kinity it could technically be possible too, however. Its also a really big fucking taboo,…
The typical term for this is “questioning”, anon. As in “I’m questioning Xkin”, until you’re more sure of yourself.
I totally feel you, anon. I’ve historically had a very hard time engaging with this world myself.
Hey anon, I lost my arm (and my eye) in canon too (and in my memories). What about it is making you feel invalid? Just…
It sounds like it could fall within psychological kin to me, though I’m by no means an expert.
Hey anon, I’m happy to help. Since you don’t consider yourself to BE this character, then the connection you’re looking to describe wouldn’t be called…
Copinglink is the term developed within the kin community to describe the experience of creating/assuming a fictional identity as a coping mechanism. There are lots…
The “literally me” people are generally in one of three camps meaning ‘literally me’ metaphorically as in “we share so many traits we might as well be…
Depends entirely on the person, and their attitude towards being kin and how they see themselves. Generally speaking the larger the number of kintypes someone…
I think that sounds like a hearttype to me, but I’d definitely like others opinions. I know my own hearttype effects me emotionally a lot.…
It can happen, though I have no idea how common or uncommon it is. Awakening a kintype starts when something triggers feelings of a connection/memories.…
That’s synpath, not kin. ^^ They’re not quite the same. Fictionkin: Someone who discovers through personal experiences and phenomena that they are spiritually or mentally…
Maybe you’re someone who experienced a haunting in some way? Try looking at other haunting media, if you’ve looked at other games. (You’ve checked out…
I believe that some godkin and deitykin are almost certainly legitimate. There is plenty of precedent for gods and spirits to take human form right…
I’m glad you’ve managed mostly to get through it, anon ^^
I think depending on the universes in question, energy travels in different ways- perhaps through gates or holes in reality, or through sort of ‘sympathetic’ energy…
My assumption is that these people are attempting to avoid others whom they consider “abusive” or with whom they have had unpleasant interactions with in the…
representation in media and then to see a white person claim that they literally ARE that character can be hurtful to someone who has been…
My stance on kintypes is that race is irrelevant, because people don’t chose their kintypes. I personally believe in souls and that anyone can be…
I’m actually not sure. Fellow otherhearted, what’s the consensus on this?
I assume you mean *insert incoherent screaming of kin panic here* In which case I’m both glad its relatable and sorry you’re going through it.
I thought I remembered something like this being discussed.
Fair enough. I never read or watched the Hunger Games, so I had no idea either way.
I hadn’t noticed that, anon. That’s very interesting to note. Its sad, but sometimes people are hypocrites.
Anon, some people seem to think it is impossible for people of one race to feel any kind of empathy for people of another race.…
Its a very fuzzy line indeed, and someone can be both otherkin and fictionkin at the same time. For instance anyone who has a fictotype…
http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/143567690872/this-is-the-most-respectful-video-explanation-of I thought it was really well done and well researched. Definitely the best video by someone outside the community yet.
You should absolutely not feel bad. People deal with being kin in different ways. Honestly, the current obsession with finding ‘canonmates’ is… pretty new honestly, especially…
Vivid like, I could’ve -sworn- that he moved in with them during his second or third year. SO says no, I drop it despite knowing…
Depends on if the creature in question would be considered within the realm of ‘monsterous’. If so, then yes.
