I’m afraid I don’t personally have a good understanding of this myself. I would welcome any insight than any psychological fictionkin can provide.
Some say that as we grow up, we become different people at different ages, but I don’t believe this. I think we remain the same…
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙂
Of course you can be kin regardless of race. Honestly, every time this question comes up, I have a difficult time even addressing it because…
I’ve been doing some research for an upcoming article about the history and origin of fictionkin and otherkin, and I thought I’d share some of…

I don’t hate anyone. Especially not mentally ill people. My mother has struggled with bipolar 2 for 30 years, both with, and without medication, and…
That is absolutely possible. I have say before, and I have said again, authors CAN be kin with their own characters. Honestly, its oceans more…
It can be hard to understand and accept, but your kintype isn’t always the person who has the most in common with who you are…
You absolutely can. There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable in this matter. You’re clearly a good friend, and you’ve made an effort to…
This is not something that I typically experience. I have had a few moments in my life where I seemed to ‘regress’ to my earlier identity…
This is absolutely possible. The author of a work might well be kin from the universe they are writing from. However, many writers feel insulted…
Roleplay is roleplay, and fictionkin is fictionkin. The RPers are not being hypocritical by being annoyed that their game is interrupted by kin. If these…
Your question was worded just fine. 🙂 It is absolutely common (I won’t say ‘normal’) to be a fictionkin who has headmates, whether they are fictive…
That sounds like fictionkin to me. Congratulations on the beginning of yoru awakening. It will be a long journey, but one that will lead to…
My advice, as it always is to this question, is that there is no need to share your identity as fictionkin with anyone who is…
Otakukin. Yes, I know, the name is really cringeworthy. I didn’t pick it. It started in the other otherkin circles. Sadly, the original webpage using…
The answer to both of these questions is yes. For the first one, many fictionkin, especially spiritual fictionkin like myself, can feel a lot of…
Ask her if she’s heard of otherkin, and what her opinion on them is, if she has. If she hasn’t heard of them, introduce her…
This is known as m-shifting and while it is more common in therians and otherkin, I have known fictives and fictionkin for whom this happens.
The terms are basically the same. I didn’t learn about the term fiction-hearted until after that was posted.
Personally I believe in the ‘multiverse theory’, that we exist inside a multiverse comprised of an infinite number of varying universes, such that for any possibility,…
I absolutely believe this is possible. My belief is that (at least some) fictionkin come from people who have lived lives in other ‘fictional’ worlds being…
There are two possibilities here. On the one hand the ‘psychological’ model of fictionkin may fit your situation better. On the other hand its possible that…
That does sound like polykin to me. I would do a lot of thought and meditation on the matter, but it is *possible* that you…
I have no idea. I’m pretty sure fickin is just a shortening of fictionkin. But there may be some people who assert that they mean…
This is way above my pay grade. Your sexual identity is determined by you, and only you.
Absolutely! This needs to go in the FAQ when I update it.
I’ve Rped as my kintype before, although that was six or seven years ago now. I thought it might help me feel more ‘in tune’ with…
To clarify, I think that the exploration of being fictionkin can start as a result of coping. But once you’ve fully explored yourself to a…
ectoslimers: fromfiction: You can use a character’s strength as a way to support you mentally, but this is not what being fictionkin is. I would…
My theory is that various fictionkin on tumblr are in one or more of the following categories: a) Young and immature and will grow up…
My basic opinion is that every identity someone has should be given equal weight and scrutiny by both themselves, and others. I believe each identity…
This depends entirely on your feelings. First of all, knowing your pet, how do you think it would have felt, knowing you made a tulpa…
Depends on your definition of poly-fictionkin, anon. Shoot me a clarification. Everyone has different words these days.
Your friend should stop being a douchebag. If he or she doesn’t understand why this is distressing for you, then you need to get a…
You can use a character’s strength as a way to support you mentally, but this is not what being fictionkin is. I would call this…
That is NOT fictionkin. Fictionkin is not pretend, it is a sincere belief- one that comes from inside, not one deliberately cultivated. By all means,…
No, I’m sorry, I don’t believe in language policing. I think there are addons that will let you blacklist words that are outside of tags,…
