So I think I might have been wrong about one of my kintypes because I really didn’t put a lot of thought into it now that I look back, and also I really *wanted* to be them, so I think I may have convinced myself I was them in a past life. I just… I hate admitting I could be wrong about this, especially because they were my first kintype and made me recognize another. Do you have any advice on dealing with this? Thanks.

Its hard to admit one is wrong, anon. I’ve been there, honestly. When I was younger there was this character that I really *wanted* to…

ndmercy replied to your post “Once again” this is what prevented me from finding out i’m a median system for a looong time. I could…

So lately a realized something weird – and by lately I mean since December or so. I often feel ‘disconnected’ with my body and the first thing that comes into my mind is Chara. I kinda feel like at that exact moment I’m them – I can feel what they do, have their memories, ‘feel’ their relationships with others. And it’s not only at these moments – I always feel these things, but not as strong as then. I’m not sure if I’m kin with them, but if I am… I’m kinda scared of that. (cont.)

(Chara kin cont.) I’m not scared of being kin – not at all – it’s the character. The whole Undertale fandom sees Chara as the…

Feeling like you’re missing abilities is a part of being kin right? Because I’m questioning being kin with a character who is a telepath. Throughout my whole life, even when I was little, I’ve thought it was extremely weird that I wasn’t able to hear other people’s thoughts. I felt like I was missing a part of my life that was very important. Same with telekinesis, I’ve been obsessed for awhile and always thought I needed it (the character has it). Is this a kin experience?

Feeling like you’re missing abilities, like telekinesis/telepathy can definitely be considered a kin experience.

Hello, recently I’ve reached out to some people who are also kin and they rejected me for having more than three kintypes and for questioning some of my own. I want to find accepting people in the community, but I’m not sure how. I’ve also been thinking of making a group, but I’m not sure how many people use the programs I want to use.

Any kin who won’t accept you for having three kintypes (that you’ve put thought into and can justify) are probably elitist snobs and you should…

I used to think I was possibly fictionkin from a certain universe because I had memories, but I couldn’t figure out which character. Now the memories are becoming more clear, and I realized what I remember is WATCHING that TV series in my past life. I remember sitting very close to the old CRT tv in a teeny apartment to see my show better. Have you heard of something like that happening? Is it weird that my only memory is watching TV of all things?

Yeah, I actually have really strong memories of watching the original run of Pokemon while in the Digimon universe. Strange, huh?

Can trauma carry over into this life? For example, in my canon I was a soldier in WWII, and all of this life, long before I knew I was kin, I’ve always felt really nervous and shaky around stuff to do with that era, like if I saw stuff about it at museums something. I have PTSD in this life so I know what being triggered is like, and it honestly feels like that?? But I wasn’t sure if this was possible.

Trauma can definitely carry over between lives. Its one of the major flags of being kin. Just make sure you don’t talk over survivors from…

I deeply wish I could find an otherkin/fictionkin forum or chat or something that was a little more… I dunno, serious? More interested in the theoretical or philosophical aspects of being kin? I’ve been visiting a kin chat recently and it’s just so completely braindead that I don’t think I’m going to stay. The overall quality of every kin community I find is so -low- that I’m beginning to get discouraged.

I know the feeling, anon. I would love to find that space, too. I feel like a lot of kin spaces start out like that…

Hey there! So I’ve heard a lot about kin and I’m respectfully neutral on the subject. But having found you, I’m actually quite curious about something. Have you ever met anyone who is also kin with Pearl/Vriska/Kaizer and how do you go about that? Do you believe you to be the only one, the true one, or can there be multiple? I mean no disrespect, I was just wondering about this possible dilemma. Anyways, keep being you~ no matter what no one deserves to tell you who you’re supposed to be.

Hi there. Thanks for being so respectful. You can read  a lot more about my beliefs and experiences on my webpage: http://fictionkin.net/ To answer your…

I had a thought the other day. I noticed a lot of canon calls will say something like “don’t message me if you’re x age” and while I understand that from a safety perspective (minors not feeling comfortable with adults and such) I can’t help but wonder, what if your canonmates were all in that age range you don’t want to interact with and you never got to meet them because of the age difference?

Then you’re basically shit out of luck, I would guess? Sounds sad to me.

Hi this is factkin anon! So I told my partner who my kintype is (Im still uncomfortable saying that) and the person I miss. I mentioned that my partner is my mirror system- well we also mirror each others kintypes. Idk if there’s a word for that but yeah, turns out theyre factkin too, and the person I was missing so much. They were just waiting for me to accept myself and tell them. Im just really happy and relieved and wanted to update you, if that’s okay! tysm for listening to me all the time!

I am so glad that worked out! When you said you had a mirror system I had a hunch it would.

i have traumatic kin memories involving war, but i feel bad for even mentioning i have them, especially since its from a war that also happened in this world. i feel like if i talk about how bad it was or how it hurts me, ill get shut down and told not to be disrespectful, which i understand but, that doesnt make the pain any better :/

Anon, I understand. That’s a tough position to be in. I think that you should be able to talk about and express these experiences and…
