Wait, how do you shape your soul into a non-human one if you haven’t grown up that way? Also, you’re kin by reincarnation and I would like to speak to someone who is kin concurrently with their character because that’s my experience I think. Any advice? I feel like reincarnation vs. concurrent experience would be fundamentally different.

 Wait, how do you shape your soul into a non-human one if you haven’t grown up that way?  I have no idea, but I wouldn’t…

anon who sent the ask about soulbonding being different b/c fronting: If that’s the case, then what do you consider the difference between soulbonding and being multiple? Because to me this seems like a case of “well whichever word you want to use that one’s right!” with your definition and that really makes me uncomfortable.

Soulbonding and non-DID multiplicity in general have a lot of potential crossover. Here are the things that tend to make soulbonding ‘different’. All of these are…

Could you help me with this? So, if I like a character a lot and I see myself in them, in a sense of strongly identifying with them and having many things in common with them, and thinking “Me” or “That’s me”, “About me”, etc. everytime you see that character, and just seeing yourself as a lot like them, could that be considered being fiction-hearted?

Hey there! That definitely sounds like fiction-hearted to me. 🙂 textbook case.

Tumblr might have eaten my ask; if this is a repeat, just delete it. I was wondering how someone reconciles the belief that “fiction isn’t reality”/”dark topics are ok in fiction because it’s not real” with actually being kin? Because I have been holding this belief that dark things are ok in fiction for reasons like this, but I’m fictionkin and I don’t know what to think anymore.

Oof, anon, this is a tough subject. On the one hand, I personally have a lot of trouble watching/reading upsetting/dark fiction that doesn’t have a…

i hope this isn’t offensive but would it be okay if you tagged kin community drama like the post about hlaalus? i agree with what is being said but seeing several posts about it is stressing me out a lot. i know about you not being able to disengage from discussions like this and i don’t expect you to at all bc what’s being said is important, i just don’t have the mental capacity to handle seeing arguments and such. i’m sorry.

I can absolutely tag them from now on, anon! I’ll go back and tag the ones I recently reblogged. I’ll be using the tag #kindrama…

@punymortals99 is trolling the kintags right now. They have posted both gore and offensive messages. Stay out of the tags if you’re easily upset. Tags…

In case it isn’t obvious @pear-kin is not a real otherkin. They are a troll/anti-kin/parody account. Posting this because anti-kin always seem confused by parody/fake accounts.

What are fictionkin? Fictionkin; (noun): A person who discovers that they have in some way inherited the soul/spirit/complete mentality of a fictional character, and the…

hello! i’ve checked your faq but i’m so new and v. confused, so i thought i’d just ask. i understand what the term headmate is used for in regards to this community, but i am confused if its supposed to be completely different from what a person with dissociative identity disorder means when talking about their headmates, or if they mean the same and meant for people w DID but alters that are similar to fic characters? sometimes some say anyone can develop headmates but thats not how DID works?

First of all, just to clear things up, headmates have nothing to do with fictionkin or otherkin. Headmate as a term came about to describe…
