hey! i have a really.. weird question? at least it seems to be weird because nobody’s been able to answer me- i was wondering if there’s a way to stop being self conscious/upset about the number of kintypes i have? i’m kin with quite a number of things, mostly fictionkin.. and kinsidering quite a number more. i’m really self conscious about it so i was wondering if there was advice to not be.. that? thank you for reading and answering if you do!! i hope you have a lovely day!!

Two things–, no, three. First, the best way to get over being self-conscious/upset about “too many” kintypes, is the same way to get over anything that…

hey felix! i had a question, and i wanted your take on the subject. if you are kin with somebody immortal, how would you have reincarnated to this life? i have a couple of kintypes that are supposably unkillable and immortal, but i must have been killed to be here now, right? this has been on my mind for a while and i’d love to hear your take on it. hope you have a great day! sending good vibes your way.

Hey there anon! Thanks for the good vibes 😀 right back atcha.  As someone with at least one immortal kintype I’ve examined this question a…

I figured somebody who has been in the ‘kin community’ for so long would be the perfect person to ask about this! I understand that everyone’s experience is different, but how do you know if you’re kin…? For example, I feel a very strong and personal bond/relation towards Achilles (Greek mythology) and saying I simply enjoy his stories or that he’s my favorite seems like a major understatement. This is also the case with a few other characters.. could I be fiction-kin? Sorry if this is stupid!

Not stupid questions! Here’s some info that should help you. http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/Experience http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/howtoknow

Hello, Felix. I’m a bit confused about my identity as alterhuman. I’m spiritual, but I have a large number of kintypes. I genuinely believe that I have experienced all of those lives, but I worry that my bpd may have misled me, or may do so in the future. I am also unsure how to tell if a kintypes is truly a kintype, or if I’m a fictionflicker and just unaware of it. Sorry for bothering you, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey there anon. Your ask is no bother, and I hope I can help. I will be honest, I am not very familiar with BPD…

Out of curiosity, do you think it’s possible to receive a sudden burst of insight about your kintypes? Not discovering them all at once for certain, but periods of time where it feels like all of them are attempting to enter your subconscious and remind you of who you are? It’s hard to explain, but I believe I’m going through one of those right now, and it’s making introspection a lot more difficult.

I absolutely believe that’s possible. I think we all get ‘insight dumps’ sometimes.

I think it’s cool how you treat people with weird kintypes with the same respect you’d treat anyone else. I’ve seen “elders” in the kin community talk about how they’d reject people whose kintypes were too “out there”, and I think that’s incredibly unfair. I mean, nobody HAS to accept anyone else, but… it’s just really hypocritical, you know? Even those “good” and “allowable” kintypes are batshit to people outside of the community.

Is there a word for identifying as a fictional species, or fictional race of beings? Not one that was in canon, but someone from their same world. Is that still fictionkin? Is there a word for “I identify as that kind, but not that individual”? Also, is there a word for identifying as a fictional animal species? Is that fictionkin or therian?

Hey! Is it possible to identify as a place ? I always feel nostalgic when I look vintage circus pictures and the ambivalence between cheerfulness and eeriness fascinate me. As a disabled and autistic girl, I have a very strong connection with freak-shows (maybe I was in one of them in my past life, who knows ?) . I know it sounds a little ridiculous, but it remind me of my own mind: full of whismy, wonder and playful chaos. What do you think about it? :Does “Circuskin” exist ? :/

Please do not take this response as a criticism of your feelings or emotional connections. What you are feeling is completely valid and awesome, the…

Hi, I was wondering if you had heard of any issues with kin being… Not canon gender? Like I identify with Cecil Palmer from Welcome to Night Vale, but I’m a girl and canon Cecil is not. Also follow up question I think you may have answered before: can you identify with many different kin from different universes?

If you mean that the Cecil you remember being was female, and canon Cecil is male– many of us kin experience large differences between the…

Sorry if this is a weird question but what’s the “acceptable” amount of time before you consider yourself kin with a character? What’s always happened to me is if I saw a movie for the first time or something I would see a character I really liked+identified w/ and I would just be like “ME THAT’S ME” but I don’t know if that’s a common/normal thing?

Often when people are discovering that they are kin they feel an instinctive ‘that’s me’ tug with a character but don’t know how to explain it.…

Here’s a strange thought I’ve had lately: do you think it’s possible for someone to be fictionkin, but for their fictionkin past life to have happened on this plane of reality? Let’s say, for example, someone was kin of a Watership Down character. Could someone have had a life as a rabbit that reflected–from the rabbit’s perspective–a story very similar to what was depicted in the book? It’s hard to expand on this in an ask box, but maybe you understand what I’m getting at. Thoughts?

I don’t personally believe that would make someone fictionkin though my beliefs are not the only say in the matter! Your specific example sounds to…

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…

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…
