You would be (chararcter)hearted, or say (character) is my hearttype.
I haven’t heard much about fictionhearted people being uncomfortable around doubles, however, everyone has different personal preferences and that’s okay.
You’d say “my hearttype is”, or “I’m fictionhearted of”
Fictionhearted people absolutely can experience shifts ^^ Honestly, I am pretty certain that anyone in the alterhuman spectrum/community can experience some types of shifts ^^
A hearttype is to fictionhearted/otherhearted as kintype is to fictionkin/otherkin. Hearttype is what you feel linked to as a -hearted person.
It can be a familial connection, but it also can be feeling like you empathize so much with that character that you feel like you ‘are’…
I think the tags mostly in use are synpath and fictonhearted and/or hearttype. You can also use the tag alterhuman!
1) It depends. Being fictionhearted is pretty much wanting to be a character or fictional creature in a way, but you don’t necessarily have to…
You might be fictionhearted, or a synpath. 🙂 Fictionhearted: Someone with a strong emotional or spiritual connection to any fictional character or fictional species, without…
fictionhearted: I want to BE that. Synpath: I want to HUG that. Fictionhearted: that’s who I am in my heart, that’s what I should be.…
Shifts aren’t limited to kin, lots of people experience different types of shifts. (and you mean otherhearted or fictionhearted 🙂 )
Yes, you can definitely have times where you’re more ‘in tune’ with your hearttypes!
Lets hear from the followers. Some good synpath/hearted resources?
2/2 or something behind my back, I was going to bestow it upon someone. It lasted less than a second before I was escorted back…

I don’t really see why not? Opinions from the peanut gallery?
Hey there anon. 🙂 Fictionkin is the right term if you believe you ARE this character. Fictionhearted is the right term if you share traits/the…
Sounds like it could be -hearted, or you could have a kintype that’s basically an “OC” from that universe, ie, someone who wasn’t shown in the…
fictionhearted: I want to BE that. Synpath: I want to HUG that. Fictionhearted: that’s who I am in my heart, that’s what I should be.…
That sounds like it could be a lot of different things, anon. From your description it could be: 1. you’re kin and sometimes its more…
Yes you can! That’s called otherhearted (as opposed to fictionhearted), unless its a specific fictional demon.

I think that’s a fascinating theory, anon. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case at least some of the time.
Its nice to hear from someone who has the same experience. 🙂 Thanks, anon!
I’m so glad! I think its important to have words to describe all different kinds of feelings.
I’m crow/corvidhearted in general, ever since I was a little kid. I’m also fictionheartted to the Boss from the Metal Gear Solid. I feel her,…
I don’t know if this is common or not, but its pretty much exactly how I experience my hearttypes. Anyone else?
(Pt2) and since I’d be them in that universe I get their memories in this one?? Is there a name for this?? Anon, this is…
I don’t really know. I wouldn’t think so, but the mind is good at manufacturing memories.
Fictionhearted people don’t necessarily have memories, and don’t necessarily have a ‘that’s me’ type reaction to their hearttype (though many do). You might want to also…
(2/2) He developed from my interest in him, he hasn’t necessarily been there all my life in his current form. But I also did not…
I donno, anon, I’m not big on repressing feelings, especially if they keep popping up. However, just wanting to be kin (searching for feelings that…
I don’t think there’s any upper limit on hearttypes? and organizing hearttypes might be logical!
(2) and just completely ignore my actual self.. so do you think i’m fictionhearted ?.. I can’t comment on your mental illnesses/symptoms. However, disregarding them,…
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…
Hearttype might cover it? Like maybe call it a minor hearttype or partial hearttype? Or synpath if you’re just relating to a part of their…
I think that’s a pretty normal thing, and that’s not bad! Characters are meant to touch us, and make us empathize with them. 🙂 If…

I can’t tell you what your feelings mean, I’m afraid, anon. You’ll have to take time and do more introspection. To me it sounds like…
