do you think some people take fictionkins to far like there are people who say “don’t follow me if you kin with the same character as me” its kind of?????? idk

I’m going to get a lot of shit for this. On Do Not Follow lists in general: I think ‘do not follow if’ lists of any…

Okay, this is going to sound like a troll question, but… do you think it’s possible for a kin to, say, soulbond with themselves from another reality? Like, if you’re Ken, could you soulbond with Ken from a slightly different timeline? Have you ever heard of this happening?

I have never personally heard of this happening, however, there is no reason it could not. It sounds like a very weird experience! Anyone who…

i have a question for the mod, does anyone irl know you’re fictionkin?

I often advocate for people NOT to tell people IRL in their lives that they’re fictionkin. At least, not to tell people who are not…

I think I’m fictionhearted but it’s with a character from something rare. I mean I feel a lot better understanding what I feel, but I almost kind of wish the canon had more attention or that I could find more people who are kin/hearted with it.

This is a feeling a lot of kin/hearted people share. Sadly some sources are simply quite rare, while others are overflowing. I have never met…

Hey, so..I’ve never understood kin at all until recently. I started playing a game and I feel very intensely for a character. Not that they are even my favourite which is likely due to my own feelings towards myself. But when I try to read fics of her, I feel like someone is writing about me and feel uncomfortable. Everything about them feels like me, like we’re one or connected. But I’m not a spiritual person, and I’m not sure I believe in souls. Do you think I could still count as fictionkin?

People believe in fictionkin in many different ways. Some people who don’t believe in spirits or souls believe fictionkin from a purely psychological perspective. I…

Is it okay to be fickin but not have any memories? Because I’m Fickin with the character France from Hetalia and I don’t really have any memories and it makes me feel invalid.

Many kin don’t have concrete memories of their other lives. Memories can be distant, unreliable, and often painful and sad. They can be triggered by…

Hey, uhm…I’m just kinda trying to figure out what, exactly, I’m experiencing. I have had a particular connection with a certain character since I was about 12 years old. I don’t feel any spiritual or religious ties, or th I am her or her reincarnation. I am me, in control of my body, and I know that she isn’t a real, tangible person. She is in control of herself and largely/entirely independent of me, but it’s like she’s a guest in my head. I didn’t create her like a tulpa. She’s like a casual

–observer. I’m not sure how to catalogue this, and was just wondering what your take on it is. She’s a ‘villain’ who is largely hated…

Do you think it’s possible that some soulbonds can only talk to you in your dreams? A character visits me frequently while I’m asleep and our interactions are deeply personal (not sexual… yet) & I feel such a connection with them but I can’t seem to get them to talk to me while I’m awake. Do you think it could eventually happen or, if it doesn’t, is it wrong to label this a soulbond? And by frequently I mean at least once per night, every night… Thank you if you answer, fantastic blog! :)

Soulbonds express themselves in a variety of ways. I’ve had, and heard of people having bonds that never speak, but only make themselves known through…

Do you think it’s a bad idea to have ended up soulbonding with a character who you are deeply in love with and also sexually attracted to? It’s not unpleasant, it’s just that I feel almost like I’m overstepping some kind of line. Should I run with it, or attempt to back out?

I personally don’t think this is bad, though other people will have other opinions from me. Intense feelings are often what create a bond, and…

Do you think soulbonds are “real” if they don’t accurately reflect all traits of their personality or memories etc from their canon? (Note: “real” isn’t the word I want to use (it’s kinda rude) but I can’t come up with a better word for this question. I’m not trying to be rude, slap me if I am.)

I don’t think this is a rude question. 🙂 The answer is yes. I consider all soulbonds ‘real’ for lack of a better word, regardless of…

Can you explain the difference between a soulbond and a headmate? I’m really not understanding and I need to because of my situation.

The short answer is a soulbond is a type, or subset of, headmate. A headmate is any fully realized independent person/entity that shares mental space…

I am white, and I think I might be fictionkin with a character of color. Or he may just be a headmate? Point is, this seems like a situation where I need to check my privilege. Do you have any advice regarding staying in my lane?

I have lots to say: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/tagged/racism

thank you for all the information through your posts, it has helped me a lot. i want to say that i am fiction hearted with a character, but since not many people know what that is, how would i explain it simply? like how fictionkin people say that they are a character, would if you were to tell someone you are fiction hearted, would you say “I identify as”?

If it were me I would say “I am (character) in my heart. I take their identity on as my own.”

Hi, what is fictionbonded, is it like fictionhearted? Also can you be fictionhearted with someone but not really aspire to be like them or anything? (Like, being fictionhearted with a villain or a generally bad person and identifying with them but not wanting to be like them) thanks~

I haven’t heard of fictionbonded. Do you mean soulbonded? or is this some other term? As for being -hearted to evil characters you don’t want…

Hey! I’m Fictionkin and I’m sure of it, though I kind of feel bad because of the hate on the community. I can’t help it, though. Is there any advice you could give me so I’m not ashamed? I really can’t help it at all.

I know the feeling all too well. Fictionkin are pretty looked down upon in a lot of circles. Honestly, there are two things that can…

what kind of dysphoria do fictionkin tend to feel in general?

Depends on the kin in question. Here’s what I can tell you. Surveys show that the overwhelming majority of kin (who answered the poll anyway)…

Hello, im sorry to bother. You see, i recently discovered that im fiction kin and it was because of the sudden memory of an act that didnt made me proud. Ive been trying to get more of my memories back but i dont know how , can you help me?

Memories are tricky. Some kin have lots, some kin never get any more than ‘feelings’. Its hard to pin down memories deliberately, especially without the fear…

i’ve seen the word “psychological” tossed around here a few times and i was wondering, do you know of any fickin who identify that way that are comfortable with you linking them?

I don’t personally know anyone that for sure identifies that way that I’d be willing to link. But how about anyone who DOES identify that…

i’ve only learned about fictionkin recently from some friends who are kin for characters that i know, but as i started reading more about it, i felt really…. relieved? i don’t know if that’s the right word, but the things that people are describing sound familiar and i find myself getting excited whenever it’s mentioned but… i still don’t know if i really am fictionkin… is there someone who i can talk to about this, just to be sure? sorry for the awkward phrasing…

Only you will ever be really sure if you are fictionkin or not. Honestly, most of the members of the community I know still have…

I just recently figured out I was kin with yusuke from yuyu hakasho, and its kinda bumming me out how i can never say it publicly if i want to be a respected person in the fickin community :/ and he’s like the only nonwhite kin i have.

As someone who is kin of a Japanese person myself (Ken Ichijouji) please do not let a small minority of people up in arms silence…

do you have any tips for being fiction/otherhearted in the otherkin community? are we welcome there? i’m fictionhearted with a character that i feel so deeply connected to i really do feel as if i am them, but i chose the character myself due to realizing my huge connection with them, and don’t have the memories of it being a past life like actual other/fictionkin so i’m kinda looking into my identity right now. thank you!

Interesting question! The fiction-hearted/otherhearted community is an evolving one, and I’m not sure anyone quite knows how we all ‘fit together’ as a larger community of…

I’m sending this on anon, since my mainblog is very separate from my kin stuff- I just wanted to thank you for posting about soulbonding. I’ve had bonds for a while now, and they are /very/ close to me, but they weren’t kin, nor were they headmates, and facets didn’t feel like the right word either, so I ended up calling them brainmates. Everything you’ve described with soulbonds though, has hit my experience right on the nose. So, thank you, from the bottom of my, and my bonds, hearts

I’m so glad you found a term that rings true to your experience! Soulbonding is really a fascinating experience and a deep part of my…

How long does an activation email from In Canon usually take to send? I’m unsure if there’s an approval queue or if it auto sends. Sorry to bother you!

There’s an approval queue because the mods check over each application. But you should get an approval soon!

you’re honestly the best fictionkin blog on here. I think it’s really good there’s a level-headed voice in the community. anyway I guess I just thought you should know that!

Thank you so much. You flatter me a lot, and I really appreciate your words. Sometimes its hard for me to continue to be a…

if you’re fictionkin/fiction-hearted with a character, personally wise, you wouldn’t have to be exactly like them right? So, for example, say you’re fictionkin/fiction-hearted with a character who acts calmly about mostly everything and goes about things with ease, but you on the other hand act the opposite way. Could you still be fictionkin/fiction-hearted with them?

This deserves a longer answer, but to be frank, Ive touched on it many times before, and its late, and I’m going to bed in…

I was hoping you could clarify something for me. There’s this one character that I identify very strongly with and have since the moment I was introduced to him. We’re extremely similar, so much so that I would say our energies align, and that if there was a modern-day AU written about that character, he would probably be exactly like me. Is this fictionkin, or fiction-hearted?

Tough call. From what I’ve heard, this sounds a little like what psychological identified fictionkin experience. But that is not my area of expertise. From…

If a character arises that you know you may be kin to, is it normal to begin having the same interests as the character in question? Say, if the character speaks a different language or likes a certain genre of books, you find yourself also interested in learning how to speak the same language and read the same types of book, is that any indication that you might be kin or is it just subconscious faceclaiming?

Its more likely that having the same interested as a character *before* knowing of that character would be an indication that you were kin. Emulating…

i feel very kin to a world but i dont know what character im kin to in it. i feel ive narrowed it down to two possible people but i am stuck there and i dont know if im kin to them or if i just like them as characters because a part of me is telling me my feelings are something more but sometimes your mind can trick you. is there any way that i can figure out who i really am or do i just need to give it more time?

Depending on the world, you might not even be a specific character from it. You may just be a person from that ‘universe’ who lived a…
