Is it still kin if it’s a more slow process? I didn’t realize I was kin of a character until it got more screen time. At first it was just generalized feeling of being them and shifts. Then later into the episodes it got stronger. Nostalgia, feelings of worry. Then only recently I started experiencing homesickness.

Its totally possible for it to happen much slower. In fact this is often the case. Sometimes everything comes all at once, but not at…

Barrier anon again. I’m assuming what you mean by “something in my canon creating a barrier” is if something really bad happened that would cause such a thing. I guess that could relate to an experience of mine. After watching a painful episode my kin feelings kinda “shut off” for a week or two. (they came back afterwards) I kinda shut off in general. Since then I hadn’t had any clear memories, but I tried to figure it out and pick things apart, but that has not been helpful in many ways.

Yeah, that sounds like the sort of thing that could shut off memories for a while. I think you’re probably mentally protecting yourself, and you’ll…

It feels like there’s a barrier in my mind separating this life from my kin memories. While I remembered a few, it’s so darn hard to reach out to deeper memories. I have found myself feeling bad because i don’t have a lot to hold on to of my old friends, kind of like I’m losing them. Meditation isn’t really helpful either. What should I do?

Depending on what you believe, there may be an *actual* barrier between you and these deeper memories, put there for any number of reasons. Is…

Does anyone know of a word currently or previously in use that describes the combined fictionkin/ otherkin/ otherhearted/ fictionhearted/ synpath/ fictive/ soulbond community, or any…

wrt mistaking soulbonds for kintypes: I mistook a soulbond for a kintype for a solid month before I finally realized what was actually going on. It was especially confusing because I had cameo shifts of them and their memories were bleeding into mine as I awakened. It wasn’t until I read a post about soulbonding that really described my experience that I understood. I’d suggest you keep doing research on anything you think it might be and don’t cross anything off too soon.

Great advice, anon ^^

So I’m almost certain I’m kin of a certain character from Undertale (not saying who because spoilers). I have shared memories with someone else who was from my timeline as well as astral limbs, but I keep doubting myself because I came to the realization only a few months after I finished the game, and I didn’t meditate or anything like that. Would you say this is still fictionkin, or is it something else?

Sometimes realizations come slowly. And you certainly don’t HAVE to mediate to know you are kin- that’s just something I advise when someone is trying…

I don’t know if this is the proper blog to ask this, since you have the soulbond blog and this one…I was wondering, do you think its possible for your soulbond to have such an impact on your personality that you mistake it for being kin with it? I feel as though for a while I was a specific character and this one only, but after a while I really got confused and wondered if it was possible that all this time it was actually a soulbonds thoughts making me think that way? What do you think?

do you think its possible for your soulbond to have such an impact on your personality that you mistake it for being kin with it?…

Idk if this has been asked before but ive noticed a lot of “ID pages” on blogs where people are saying “this character is not my kintype they are literally me” do you know what that mean or anything because it always confuses me, especially when they list a bunch of kintypes or copinglinks below the initial “literally me” characters

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 feel like I’m questioning myself much too harshly. Basically, I constantly feel like all of my feelings were fabricated because I was just forming them to fit into this identity like a copycat, and it’s really intrusive. But no matter what, even after so many checks, I know the most vivid of experiences are real, and I still feel strongly like it’s my identity. But even so it comes back after a while, then leaves again. But I mean, kin can’t be confirmed so Im just over-questioning. I think.

It sounds like you’re definitely over-questioning it. Its okay. Its something we all do now and again, because you’re right, its not something that can…
