“I don’t think I am or ever was this person but identifying with/as them makes me feel so comfortable and validated” Hey friend! The…
HI anon 🙂 As you’ve noticed Kinshifts are when your personality and perception of yourself changes a little to match whatever kintype is active during…
That’s called copinglink if you want to draw strength from and ‘become’ the character. Check tumblr #copinglink for more information Or if you want the character…
Some people chose to be copinglink because trauma or mental illness causes them to want to disassociate themselves from their human/normal identity. For these people…
I’m sure that happens sometimes. Likely one would have chosen to ID as the character because unconsciously they ‘knew’ that it was them.
The word for what you were doing is ‘copinglink’, which is part of the alterhuman community (but a little different than kin). There’s nothing wrong with…
Anyone can develop a copinglink for any reason. (Sorry to hear about your family member!)
You’re certainly welcome to share your views and such on this blog, anon. Other than that, I don’t know of any particular blogs. Chime in/reblog…
Copinglinks can definitely experience mental and phantom shifts! Some may be able to experience astral shifts depending on their spiritual beliefs. ^^
Mentally ill and traumatized kin often use their knowledge of their kintypes to help them cope with their illness and stress, anon. Doing so does…
(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…
Hearttype is to fictionhearted/otherhearted as kintype is to fictionkin/otherkin. As for the rest of your ask, that sounds like an interesting experience, anon. I’m not…
A copinglink is a voluntarily created identity, a kintype is inherent and involuntary.
I think that falls best under the heading of “non-kin IDs”.
Your wording is fine, anon. 🙂 And I’m going to go with a solid ‘probably, maybe’. Sorry if that’s not helpful. ^^::
Good to hear personal experiences, anon! 🙂
Hi anon, I’ve never made a copinglink identity, but here’s how I would go about it if I was going to. People who are or…
The human mind can construct all sorts of experiences with practice. Its very likely that at least some copinglinkers could construct the experience of astral…
That sounds great, anon! Thanks and please do send us a link when you create it!
Alterhuman: A member of the nonhuman/otherworldly community. Anyone who identifies as, or is connected to, a non-human, or as someone or something from or connected…
Absolutely. You could theoretically be otherkin/fictionkin, a soulbonder, a copinglinker, other/fictionhearted, and have a synpath. And none of them would conflict.
Unfortunately I don’t know any good, dedicated copinglink blogs. If anybody knows some, please reblog or send an ask with the url! In the meantime,…
Hey there. Otherkin/fiction identities and copinglink identities are completely seperate. There’s nothing stopping you from creating a copinglink identity for yourself if you think it…
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…
nonhumanity-and-nonsense: Kintypes are not consciously and actively chosen and cannot be dropped, avoided, or given up with any real success. However, copinglinks are identities with…
The mods at @everykin seem like nice people, and they certainly aren’t trolls or harassers. They post nice positivity, and they would be a great…
Copinglinks can’t “become” kintypes, but what CAN happen is you can realize what you thought was a copinglink was a kintype all along.
Depends on the person using it. There isn’t a standardized usage. Some copinglinkers use it. Some people who use it just mean they feel like…
Every person is an individual and has their own reasons for doing that. I can’t tell you the reason everyone has. That said, I think…
I think there’s a lot of crossover between the two, but I’d listen mostly to the people who use those labels as to what they…
: It’s very, very new. Coined within the last week in fact. It’s essentially a replacement for the problematic “copingkin” that sprung up within the…
Copinglink is a very new term. I’m pretty sure it’s meant to replace copingkin? @inexplicablehanyou can probably explain better than I can.
