I have trouble remembering things… I’ll get vague memories, or short ones, but not in-depth like yours are. Simple things, like holding someone’s hand or having a simple conversation. I don’t feel comfortable with astral projection and I have trouble relaxing to meditate. I just feel really invalid. Does that sound ridiculous?

I don’t think that sounds ridiculous at all. Most of my memories are small flashes, and sensations. A moment of the feeling of wind on…

I need to know, is there a proper replacement of “I’m kin with” for me? Because I had said “I’m kin with {insert kintype here}” because saying “I’m kin of {insert}” makes me feel as if I’m trying to say I’m still that kintype, where as the previous statement makes me feel I’m saying “I was the thing/character in the past, but not anymore”. I don’t know what to do :<

Maybe “My kinself is” or “my kinself was” would help?

Sorry to bother you, but you’re about the best person I have found to ask about soulbonding in general. I’m 98% sure I have soulbonded, and progress in communication is going slowly but pretty okay. But I’m still very worried I’m just making this all up in my head to cope with a harsh reality of never being able to ever physically BE with said soulbond in the Real World. And this keeps bringing up two questions that I haven’t really been able to find a solid answer on. (1/2 – IIR)

(2/2 – IIR) The first question being, how can I tell if it’s really real or I’m just making this up? The sort of answer…

kin memories are this big gray cloud for me because logically they don’t make any sense, but here i am having weird tiny glimpses into the life my character had. i am confused and scared. i do not understand this phenomenon and i would very much like to, seeing as i think it’s happening to me. help please thank you

Kin memories are quite often really confusing, unfortunately. Most of the time they don’t happen in any sensible order, or have much context to them,…

hi I hope you don’t mind me asking and stuff but I am fiction kin but I am kin with a very popular character and I am very scared to come out with it sometimes cause what if people say I don’t even sound, look, or act like my kin even though I feel the same as my kin almost all the time but it makes me feel invalid and I am not sure what to do to help it

Being kin of a beloved character is tough, because it definitely makes you more visible and opens you up to more judgement. Please remember my…

Hey, you seem to be very informed about fictionkin, and know a lot about it. I just wanted to ask something. I am fiction-hearted with this one character (Peridot from Steven Universe) and I’m questioning whether or not I am kin with her. My feelings for this character came out of the blue, but I’ve felt really connected to her, although she’s the least I can relate to personality-wise. I’ve mentally shifted as her twice and dreamed of being her. I feel a weird happiness seeing art of her too.

It sounds like no matter what you have a deep connection with Peridot, like you’ve already described as fiction-hearted. I think from what you’ve said…

Question for psychological fictionkin/kin who believe their identity is only due to their mental state: What are your feelings and beliefs regarding spiritual kin, /…

(1/2) Hey there! I’m questioning if I’m kin (specifically w/ Bee from Bee and Puppycat and Amethyst from Steven Universe). However, I don’t have any memories from their canons. For Bee, whenever I watch the show I get this very slight sense of deja vu, like what I’m watching is from a dream I had that I’ve almost completely forgotten.

2/2) For Amethyst, it’s not the same case. There are times where I feel I literally am her, but that doesn’t happen often or for…

‘Kin’ is not a word for system member, fictive, soulbond, alter, or headmate.  If you say your ‘kin’ or ‘kins’ to mean separate people from yourself…

Okay so I kin with a character of a video game. My friend said I should ask the creator if it’s okay to kin with the character since the creator didn’t want people kining with one of the other characters. And I just??? Cause I can’t pick on who I kin with?? And the creator seems real cold and distant and has their ask box closed. What do I do?

Your friend is absolutely wrong.  It is *always* a bad idea to approach a creator and tell them that you are kin of one of…
