This is known as m-shifting and while it is more common in therians and otherkin, I have known fictives and fictionkin for whom this happens.
The terms are basically the same. I didn’t learn about the term fiction-hearted until after that was posted.
Personally I believe in the ‘multiverse theory’, that we exist inside a multiverse comprised of an infinite number of varying universes, such that for any possibility,…
I absolutely believe this is possible. My belief is that (at least some) fictionkin come from people who have lived lives in other ‘fictional’ worlds being…
There are two possibilities here. On the one hand the ‘psychological’ model of fictionkin may fit your situation better. On the other hand its possible that…
That does sound like polykin to me. I would do a lot of thought and meditation on the matter, but it is *possible* that you…
This is way above my pay grade. Your sexual identity is determined by you, and only you.
I’ve Rped as my kintype before, although that was six or seven years ago now. I thought it might help me feel more ‘in tune’ with…
My theory is that various fictionkin on tumblr are in one or more of the following categories: a) Young and immature and will grow up…
My basic opinion is that every identity someone has should be given equal weight and scrutiny by both themselves, and others. I believe each identity…
This depends entirely on your feelings. First of all, knowing your pet, how do you think it would have felt, knowing you made a tulpa…
Depends on your definition of poly-fictionkin, anon. Shoot me a clarification. Everyone has different words these days.
Your friend should stop being a douchebag. If he or she doesn’t understand why this is distressing for you, then you need to get a…
You can use a character’s strength as a way to support you mentally, but this is not what being fictionkin is. I would call this…
That is NOT fictionkin. Fictionkin is not pretend, it is a sincere belief- one that comes from inside, not one deliberately cultivated. By all means,…
No, I’m sorry, I don’t believe in language policing. I think there are addons that will let you blacklist words that are outside of tags,…
Hmmm, anon, I’m sure this is possible, though it does sound a bit unique. I imagine that in your universe incarnations of the Doctor were…
(Same anon who wants to know if I’m infatuated with a character or not) I forgot to mention, sometimes I also feel kinda like phantom…
Don’t associate with fictionkin.
Point the first, you don’t sound mean, you sound smug and condescending. Point the second, even if you assume that there is only ONE version…
Soul bonded at its core means you’re mentally connected with someone- usually a fictional character. You hear their voice in your head during the day,…
From the outside, that certainly sounds like fictionkin. It could be something else though, like fiction-hearted, or soulbonding. I’d recommend telling your friend that you…
Hey! Thanks for checking back in! I’m glad to hear you figured it out!
Absolutely. Most people don’t match up with their ‘canon’ 100%.
Look into soulbonding, median plurality, and healthy multiplicity. There are people out there who have had the same experiences you have, and learn how to…
I’m glad to be here, as a resource for people who need one.
I’ve struggled with similar feelings. Honestly, I think the fact that you feel like you’re not ‘worthy’ is a good indication that it may be a…
Only you can really answer that question for yourself. Having the same experiences in this life as a character does in a fiction can make…
Sometimes the lines between attraction and self image blur. Maybe you’re attracted to them because you feel that you’re like them? Maybe you feel that…
Some fictionkin experience ‘shifts’ and some do not. Above all my advice is to listen to what your date tells you about themself. Be open and…
Headmate: Any conscious and separate entity sharing the body of another conscious and separate entity. The root word here is ‘roommate’. Basically using a room as…
I do know of one active community for fictionkin, however its very private. I’d urge anyone looking for a community like this to message me…
You’re sweet. 🙂 I’m glad you’re here too.
I must admit that I too have been wondering the same thing. I was confused, when I few months ago, I noticed the trend of…
Sorry, I’m not dragon-kin, nor am I from the Chicago area. I hope you find who you’re looking for. ^^
I actually don’t like Digimon either. Honestly, with fictionkin, its not about what you like or not. Its about something inside you you can’t deny.
It is absolutely normal, and understandable to miss people that you were close to in that life. Sadly, for some of us, the truth is…
The fact is that if you’re kin of someone unpleasant, you can’t help it or change it. That’s just who you are, and you can…
