Hi so I have two questions if you don’t mind! Is it normal to have be fickin and also have fictives? Also, is it considered.. weird/etc for all your kin/fictives to come from just one place? I’ve only recently started coming to terms with being fickin and I’ve suddenly met with two fictives as well, and my 3 kin and fictives all ‘originate’ from one work of fiction. I hope I worded that understandably and thanks :)

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…

Listen, I hate to sound mean, but if multiple people believe they are the same character, it debunks their claims. In addition to this, if you believe you are a character that was originally portrayed by an actor or actress, you’re wrong. You may seriously relate to them, but you can, in no way, be them. Again, sorry, but it’s true.

Point the first, you don’t sound mean, you sound smug and condescending. Point the second, even if you assume that there is only ONE version…

I’m pretty sure I’m fictionkin, but I tend to cycle through characters. Most of the time, everyone is background noise, living in my wacky cross-canon mind hotel, with one very dominant character who I start to emulate (usually without meaning to). I get teasing comments about how the character and I are clones. And then a year later, it’s a different character. It’s confusing! It’s ruined friendships because I “change” personality so often. Any advice?

Look into soulbonding, median plurality, and healthy multiplicity. There are people out there who have had the same experiences you have, and learn how to…

So lately I’ve seen many fictionkins asking ppl who are kin with the same character as they are to not to follow them or to ask before following and I’m wondering, why? I’m not a fictionkin myself (maybe a bit fiction-hearted tho) and I’m really curious about this. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to feel some kind of connection with ppl who are like you? or not (like many ppl seem to prefer)? (I hope I made myself clear and used the right terms, sorry if I didn’t!)

I must admit that I too have been wondering the same thing. I was confused, when I few months ago, I noticed the trend of…

hey i just wanted to say that if ur fictionkin w/ a character and u are really upset by some1 else being that character, theres nothing wrong with that. directly confronting them and telling them to stop would be a bad idea, but just asking ppl w/ the same fickin as you to avoid u/not follow you is perfectly fine and normal. theres nothing you can really do to “resolve” it but stand back and try to forget it, which sucks, but it can be necessary sometimes to ur health.

If you feel like you need to avoid anyone who is the same character as you are, by all means do that. Just don’t be…

Have you ever met someone who had an intense, enduring love for a character and what they feel is a spiritual connection to them? I’ve felt this way about the same character for over a decade, but I don’t identify AS them, nor are they a literal headmate to me. It seems over time, my love for them has only grown stronger. They are very real to me even though I know they don’t literally exist in this world. I’ve only felt this way about one character, ever. Just wondering. Thank you. :)

I have experienced this and known people who experienced it more powerfully than I have.  It is completely possible to love a character and hold…

hi there! i’ve just really accepted my kintype recently (the mangle from fnaf) and i’ve got two other types (silver the hedgehog, weiss from rwby) and it feels like the mangle is here with me always but their voice is least dominant of the three & i occasionally hear weiss & silver pipe in on things that they would do in a situation (e.x.: forgot to do homework- pull an all-nighter vs. not do it at all.) are weiss & silver my headmates while mangle is a my kin? it’s how i feel all the time :o

Mangle is you “kintype” (I really hate how this term has come to be used) if that is your identity. Like if you identify AS…

I awoke as Silver the Hedgehog, but it doesnt feel right. Firstly Im dragonkin so I know what it feels like to have a connection, but with him it feels different. I didnt pay much attention to him before finding out about fictionkin. He was compelling but I never missed his life like I miss dragons. And I dont feel “good enough” to be Silver. Hes just where Im apathetic about people in need. It feels kinda rude to id as him. Hes someones creation how can I say Im him when I dont know if its true

“Hes someones creation how can I say Im him when I dont know if its true”, you can the same way we all can, by…

Several questions for you today. 1). Do you have any running theories on what happens to headmates when they leave, or why they leave? 2). Can a headmate choose to leave of its own accord? 3). Do you think it’s possible that once a headmate leaves, it can take up residence with someone else on this plane and timeline? Not talking about duplicates of the same person showing up in multiple people, but rather the same bond. Have you ever seen that happen?

1) There are many differing theories. For my part, I have had headmates vanish and then return months or years later. In this case, they…

How do you feel about the Tulpa community/phenomenon? I’m otherkin (not fictionkin) and recently became a tulpamancer as well. I think it’s all pretty cool. Some people in the Tulpa community have compared the Tulpa phenomenon to soulbonding — some ‘mancers even have tulpae of fictional characters. I’m curious about what soulbonders think of the comparison or the tulpa phenomenon in general.

I am actually quite familiar with the tulpa phenomenon, and have casually acquainted myself with the community. I’m not surprised that some compare tulpa and…
