I don’t want to assert my experiences as more important than anyone else’s, but I have a confession… it sometimes bothers me how many people seem to be “having fun” with being kin, when being kin has been deeply intertwined with a lot of emotional/mental health problems for me. The flashbacks that lead to my awakening were traumatic, and came on as a result of unrelated trauma. I can’t even do anything relating to “my” canon without feeling a surge of anxiety shoot through my body. (cont)…

…(cont). I don’t understand why my experience has to be so negative when many other people appear to not be nearly as impacted by being…

part 1/2 Do you think its possible for hearted people to have..memories from their hearttype? It sounds weird but I have no other idea how to put it. I’m Peridot-hearted (I used to think I was kin, and this was back in that time) and I had a vision when I was handing a paper to my teacher. I had a vision of being the the spaceship as seen in Steven Universe. The hallways were a green-ish color, to my left was a window full of stars. I was in the form of a Peridot, I had holding staff

2/2 or something behind my back, I was going to bestow it upon someone. It lasted less than a second before I was escorted back…

Felix, I get really embarrassed about being kin. I’m otherkin and fictionkin and I always see people making fun of them and I feel really bad. I want to suppress how I feel but I know I’ve already tried to do that and it didn’t work. I just wish I could be more comfortable being kin. Do you have any advice for dealing with feeling ashamed of being kin?

Hey anon, I hear you. I feel the same way sometimes. Its hard to be treated as strange, annoying, stupid, etc, and all the things…

I’m sorry, I know this is in your faq but I still don’t understand it. What exactly is being kin? Is it thinking you’re related to a character? I thought otherkin for example is literally thinking you are that kind of animal, so I thought being kin with a character meant literally thinking you are that character? And what is the difference to “id” and “double” and that kind of stuff? This is so confusing

byfcringe: Kin means you HEAVILY connect to that character almost like you ARE the character or are related to the character. ID means you just…

this isnt specific to anyone but i feel like someone could hear this. to those who are questioning a kintype take your time learning to understand and figure yourself out!! months ago i would feel this attached weight on my shoulders, and i assumed it would be wings, vague phantom feeling emerging of wings. but a few months later i realized what it was! the weight of charging cables that plugged into my back. i was an android. take your time figuring stuff out. try not to assume!

Thanks for sharing, anon! Great advice.

Hey uh, this is the factkin anon. I usually handle missing someone by bringing them here as a soulbond, as I also have fictotypes. But uh… I’m in my factotype shift and I wouldn’t be at all comfortable having the person I miss in my system. But I miss him so bad it physically hurts, and I don’t know what to do about it. Inducing other shifts is difficult for me and I don’t trust my system members not to blab about why I’m upset if I have one front. They’re good people, I’m just a bit paranoid.

That sounds like a really complicated situation, anon. I’m not sure what advice to give you here. Missing people is really, really hard. But its…

Do you think there’s anything problematic about being ‘facthearted’, aka fictionhearted with an actual person? Like, I don’t feel that I’m currently/ever was him, but he does seem like an ideal version of me, like who I’d be if I had total freedom of expression, you know? Or maybe there’s a different term for that which I’m not aware of?

I don’t know if there’s a specific word for it (facthearted seems fine?), but honestly there is nothing wrong with seeing a celebrity and feeling…

We get discouraged by canon call blogs…. We are a system of fictives who would love to find our canon mates, but the body is 26, and a lot of the call blogs are minors. We would never discourage anyone from saying “no one over 18”, in fact we think that’s probably a good idea for minors! But it makes us feel like we won’t ever find our “people” and makes us feel like…. Like she’s too old to still be like this…. Can you help us? We feel so completely alone, and sometimes incredibly fake…

I know the feeling, anon. I’m 30 and that shuts me out of a lot of canon call blogs too. Being older doesn’t make you…

i think i feel wings on my back, but i’m not sure if it’s just me wishing for them. it feels like this heavy sort of shapeless ‘presence’ on my back, and i always want to reach back because it feels as though i could touch them (obviously, they’re never there). does this sound like astral limbs?

This does sound like at least the beginning of astral limbs, anon. However, if could also be ‘normal’ back pain. if you have a large chest…

Hey there. First off, you guys do great work here. Thank you for being nice and understanding and everything. Onto a question: I roleplay as my kintype, since that’s the only way I can let him out without judgement except with those closest to me. And I would like to start interacting with other kin (doesn’t have to be my canon, just so I can be me with other people). But I’m worried that people will think I’m posing or something because I RP. How can I let people know that’s not the case?

There are plenty of kin who roleplay as their kintype. I wouldn’t worry about it too  much 🙂

1: I’ve put off sending this message for a long time, but today just seems like the right day, y’know? Ken, it’s Daisuke. I ran into your blog about, eh… a year ago? Nearly flipped my lid when I did; it took everything I had not to message you right then and there. I was waiting on something, putting social endeavors on the backburner, but at this point, I don’t see myself being able to let go of finding you. It’s so rare to ruin into someone from the Digiworld. I’m sending this (cont.)

I have one character that I am kin with, and I also have a synpath. But lately I’ve been feeling shifts for the synpath, particularly the urge to talk like them. This feels a bit odd, since he’s VERY different from both me and my kintype. Not unpleasant, just odd. And I was wondering what this means. I still don’t feel like I am him. But lately he’s been talking through me more than normal. What exactly could this mean? And should he be handled any differently than my kintype?

That;s very interesting, anon. I don’t really have an experience with synpath shifts. Maybe someone else who has can answer your question better? However, your…

hi! could you elaborate a bit more on where the line between fictionkin and fictionhearted lies? i only ask because there’s a character that resonates with me quite deeply, and a lot of our base traits are the same, but i also sorta have my own identity and personality beyond him. so i’m puzzling over what the right term is.

Hey there anon. 🙂 Fictionkin is the right term if you believe you ARE this character. Fictionhearted is the right term if you share traits/the…

The more I think about anti-kin, the sadder the whole thing becomes for me. 90% of them hate kin because they think we’re delusional, meaning they hate people who are mentally ill and need to take it out on people they think can’t fight back. The other 10% hate us because they think we’re “special snowflakes”, as if they’re personally, deeply threatened by someone else thinking they’re special, that’s… really pathetic. Anti-kin is literally just bigotry and insecurity wrapped up together.

Yep, that’s absolutely true, anon.

Um, hello! Sorry that this isn’t relatively on-topic with what your blog is honestly about, but I just want to say that I’m terribly sorry for you, about the rude anons in this case. I don’t think you deserve those crude words, and so far, I’ve only seen nice people in this wonderful community, so I really don’t understand why people just feel negative emotions towards kin. But I’m apologetic if this was completely off-topic, but I hope you don’t let their words get to you, or any other people.

Hey there. 🙂 I appreciate you taking the time to send this and thank you for your kind words. Thankfully it isn’t all rude anons…

I was wondering, are there any blogs that so kin calls that allow psychological kin and copinglinkers, as well? I want to talk to some people who would be okay with me letting my kin out and chatting with them, but since I don’t have exactly the same experience as most kin, even though I fully respect spiritual kin and don’t think they’re invalid, that I’ll be scolded because I’m not spiritual enough, or because I RP my kintype (partly because that’s the only way I can let him out). Any advice?

You’re certainly welcome to share your views and such on this blog, anon. Other than that, I don’t know of any particular blogs. Chime in/reblog…
