is it ableist to be kin of a disabled character while being a person who doesnt have their disablity
This is my final say on the matter of racism/ableism/any-ism on this blog. And what I will say is this. Most kin are the opposite…
Yes, absolutely. Honestly as a spiritual/reincarnated ficionkin, I believe that the vast majority of people on earth have had lives as kinselves, but aren’t effected…
Totally individual choice. My answer should have read “Does not *need* to involve taking on the name or role of the character.”
That’s fair, anon. I agree, the person was prejudiced, and probably not actively racist. I chose my wording carefully, to make them think about what…
Its not my place to determine anything. Its my place to give my opinion on everything. Whether people listen to me or not is their…
This is a rude/invasive question. I find it offensive, and frankly racist, that you would base your evaluation of the merit of any person’s words…
Of course fictionkin have identities of their own. The analogy I use is this. Imagine being five years old. You’re a very different person now,…
Your current ethnicity is absolutely and completely irrelevant to your past/kin ethnicity. If someone can be kin to an elf or a werewolf, why is…
I’m glad I could help! Self-discovery is never a bad thing!
I am sorry you are being bullied. That other person’s behavior is inexcusable. It is absolutely possible for multiple people to be kin of the…
You’re welcome! I am really glad that it helped you. info on fiction-hearted for the curious: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/123135988427/i-identify-a-lot-with-wirt-otgw-his http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/123135338372/so-i-feel-like-i-identify-with-this-character-and http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/123135177617/hi-i-was-just-reading-your-posts-about-being
No, I completely agree with this. I worded the previous answer generously to allow for someone who hadn’t considered the possibility that the people they…
It isn’t racist, because its not something you chose. Its something you were. As long as you don’t do racist things and use your kin…
You are fictionkin if you believe that you literally are Wirt. Aka, the same things that happened to Wirt happened to you in one way…
Speaking as a spiritual fictionkin, what would need to happen for someone to be fictionkin of two characters from the same source would be that…
The short answer, is that if you are really fictionkin of a person, then you never ‘outgrow’ that kintype. Its an unchanging part of your past…
Fiction hearted, and fictionheir are two terms for the same phenomenon. Its easy to figure out if you’re fictionhearted/fictionheir or not.Look at the character that…
Yes, that’s a way of being fictionhearted. You keep the character close to you, admire them, and identify with them, and aspire to be them.
The answer is…. it depends. Honestly, if you’re kin with both of them, then you carry both of their hearts and emotions inside of your…
Thanks for the heads up, I suppose.
It doesn’t make you weird. My belief is that the phenomenon of fictionkin from there being multiple universes. Infinite universes, even. For every universe, there…
No, you’re not doing anything wrong. I’m no fan of digimon. My close friends who are fictionkin don’t much like their source material either. Honestly,…
[2/2] was that it had to be related to fictionkin. And yet as I dwell on it and the more I think the more I…
Please be my guest. I always respond to asks that request a private response. And for anyone who wants to dialogue outside of tumblr my…
I assume you’re the anon from this post. Thanks for letting me know. Honestly, I think all fictionkin, spiritual and psychological, use the knowledge of their…
I was told by a fellow kin on a kin chat: “For the psychological aspect, I believe that a combination of basic personality traits and…
Fascinating thoughts. Can I ask if you identify as psychological kin, or copingkin, or a mix? Here are the questions anon is referring to. I’d…
Thank you for taking the time to answer 🙂 I’d be delighted to hear any more you come up with, and any anyone else does.…
Yes, okay, we both know that there are people who believe this. But, that’s not what we’re asking. We’re asking how it works. Here are…
I’m afraid I don’t personally have a good understanding of this myself. I would welcome any insight than any psychological fictionkin can provide.
That is absolutely possible. I have say before, and I have said again, authors CAN be kin with their own characters. Honestly, its oceans more…
It can be hard to understand and accept, but your kintype isn’t always the person who has the most in common with who you are…
You absolutely can. There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable in this matter. You’re clearly a good friend, and you’ve made an effort to…
This is not something that I typically experience. I have had a few moments in my life where I seemed to ‘regress’ to my earlier identity…
This is absolutely possible. The author of a work might well be kin from the universe they are writing from. However, many writers feel insulted…
Roleplay is roleplay, and fictionkin is fictionkin. The RPers are not being hypocritical by being annoyed that their game is interrupted by kin. If these…
Your question was worded just fine. 🙂 It is absolutely common (I won’t say ‘normal’) to be a fictionkin who has headmates, whether they are fictive…
That sounds like fictionkin to me. Congratulations on the beginning of yoru awakening. It will be a long journey, but one that will lead to…
My advice, as it always is to this question, is that there is no need to share your identity as fictionkin with anyone who is…
Otakukin. Yes, I know, the name is really cringeworthy. I didn’t pick it. It started in the other otherkin circles. Sadly, the original webpage using…
