1: Hey, Felix. I was wondering if you could help me sort out something? For the past few months, I’ve been having trouble understanding the finer mechanics behind my sense of self. While I DO put stock into the multiverse theory, I don’t feel that who I am belongs exclusively to a past life. I feel like I am who I am NOW, and I was also who I am in EVERY universe. In a past life, in the present life, and in the future. How do I reconcile being who I am both in present day and in the past? Most

2: everyone who subscribes to the multiverse theory refers to their identity as a past life. Past tense. I WAS, or I USED to. But…

hey I have a question I’m kinda scared to ask… I’m fickin and I have two kintypes and my s/o is fickin and he has 20+ … When I first met him he had 10+ and that was chill, I’m understand ppl w/ multiple kintypes! But now every time he watches a new anime/ tv show/etc… He finds a new kintype which he identifies right away. How do I tell him nicely maybe he needs to think about some of his kintypes more and what having them means?? Most of all from animes he just started (part 1)

(Part 2) idk how to say this nicely.. I understand having multiple kintypes but he has 20+ and I feel like they kind of… Lose…

Hi! I hope it’s OK to ask this (and that it hasn’t been asked before – if so, I apologize) but I’ve been wondering for a while now. When I’ve come across some of the blogs of fictionkin, they will have a page listing their kintypes and saying that others with the same kintype can’t follow them/talk to them/etc. Would you mind telling me why that is? (just curious)

Hey there. Its always okay to ask a question, and honestly, most of the questions I’m asked have been asked before (like this one). The…

i’m sorry to bother you, i was just wondering if i can get your advice. i think i may be kin with usagi tsukino, but i don’t have any specific memories yet. i’ve tried to write it off as just a synpath or being fiction hearted, but the feelings are just too strong for that. do you have any ideas of how to move forward or a name to give this to make it clearer? it’s been more than a month now, and the feeling won’t go away.

Well, lets see what I can help you with here. Thankfully I happen to be a Sailor Moon expert 😉 First of all, lets dispel…

So I recently discovered that I might be kin with someone and now I’m trying to recover memories from “my canon”. The problem is that in canon I suffered from PTSD due to severe trauma and I also do now from trauma that happened a few years ago. Could it now be that I will never be able to access those memories from my canon because of the trauma that my brain is trying to block out?

It could be that you won’t– and possibly that’s for the best. If your mind is protecting you from something its for a reason. However,…

Sorry to bother you, but I have a bit of a dilemma. I have memories I know I can access, but I’m not sure if I should. As far as I can tell, I may have witnessed the death of someone I loved–every time I come across anything in the fandom that even references that person’s death, I start feeling really panicked and upset. I think I may have blocked out the memories on purpose. … I think I held him in my arms as he died. Should I try and look into this or am I better off not knowing?

Ouch, anon, I’m saddened to hear that. :/ Honestly, the thing about bad memories is they tend to be the ones that come whether you…

Can memories come more… idk.. passively? Like, I don’t usually dream at all at night unless I have a fever, but sometimes I think of something that just feels.. right. Like, when it comes to mind it’s just so overwhelmingly real, like any other memory, and… I dunno, it just feels like it really happened.

Absolutely. Not all memories come in dreams and not all are extremely vivid or concrete. Sometimes you just *know* something. Its weird.

I’ve finally accepted that I might be kin and… tbh I find it comforting? Like, I’m terrified of death, especially the idea that my consciousness will stop existing altogether. Getting flashes of emotion and memory from what might be a past life makes it seem less terrifying. If I can recall a past life like that, it means somewhere down the line a different me might be able to access the memories of now. The current me won’t just fade into nonexistence.

I know how you feel, anon. Its comforting to me for the same reason ^^

Do you ever just think of something and it sounds like it could be a memory, so you write it down but when you think about it later, it just doesn’t feel right? Also, story/random ideas and memories, ever mix them up? I sort of just started contemplating the thought that I’m fictionkin and it’s still early, but it feels right, but I’ve always made up stories in my head and… well it’s confusing.

Unfortunately, sorting out what are really memories and what aren’t can be really confusing, especially when you’re starting out. Its a process that takes time,…

Is it possible to have kin memories without realizing they’re memories? I’m pretty sure I’m fictionkin, and there’s this character I made up that I accidently made very similar in some ways to a character I think I’m kin of, and was without knowing these things about that character. They have similar species, similar names, similar personalities, similar lives, etc. I made up my character in November 2015, I didn’t know anything except the species of the character I’m kin of until Dec/Jan 15/16

Its absolutely possible to not recognize memories for what they are. And its especially easy to mix memories into fictional ideas when you’re writing/

Hi! I saw you mention conceptkin and I wanted to offer my piece if that’s okay! I agree that object-, time-, and titlekin aren’t possible, but I believe conceptkin is. It’s up to the individual’s beliefs of course, but I’ve felt for a while now that different concepts have different “energies” about them if that makes sense? For example I identify as neonkin. I see neon as being very high energy and I feel that my soul “vibes” on the same frequency if that makes sense. I said that twice sorry;;;

Neonkin anon again, sorry! But I wanted to add that I do have shifts to this kintype, where I feel extremely high energy and feel…

I’m questioning a kintype right now, but I only have a few memories which are vague in nature, a vague feeling of homesickness for the universe the character comes from and feelings of guilt and responsibility for one of the characters dying and another being severely injured. Would you say that this still counts as a kintype, or do you think it’s something else?

Its certainly enough to continue questioning if you are this kintype if not enough to outright confirm it. Honestly, if you have memories (however vague)…

before i knew what otherkin were i got into a series and immediately felt a very close connection to one of the characters, as well as certain feelings about the character that turned out to be canon, though i hadn’t gotten nearly that far in the series. this feeling remained and now i’ve started playing it more again, it’s stronger than ever, i feel really nostalgic about locations and characters and am now questioning it as a kintype. does it sound like it or could it maybe be something else?

It sounds like it is definitely a possible kintype, and worth exploring whether it is or not! If its not a kintype, it might also…

i am so damn confused. i’ve spent two years now thinking that i might be fictionkin, but i can’t come to definite answer. i’ve tended to push away any feelings (or memories???) of my kin that i have, because i don’t know what the hell to do with them. but they always come back, with bigger force. i have no idea if i AM fictionkin, or fictionhearted, or some other term that I don’t even know yet because there are so many to learn. i don’t even know why i sent this ask. im just so confused.

If you have to push away these feelings and they keep coming back, that’s a good indication that you may be kin, or have a…

Different anon. The realmultipleadvice, by their own stance, doesn’t respect kin though. They deny it exists, which is fine there will be a difference in beliefs, but then they also say that it’s incredibly unhealthy to be kin even as a coping method. Which is insulting to the belief system and a major issue kin would have with the people running that blog.

That’s fair, and I can see where you are coming from with that stance. I’ll admit I find their position somewhat ironic, given that they…

Out of curiosity, are you okay with regular not-nounself neopronouns? You know, the ones that actually follow the rules of English? I was just curious because I read your about and it said you don’t like “nounself neopronouns,” and I got confused. In any case, your blog is fantastic and I think you’re awesome and intelligent. Thanks! -a curious dragon

The pronouns I’m comfortable using for people for now, are he, she, and singular ‘they’. I think its important for our language to have a pronoun…

is it a common thing to get memories and stuff from fanworks? like, fanfiction and things like that. i read a fic for one of my fickintypes recently and it felt like i was hit with a serious case of deja vu, like i was reading a description of something that happened to me, but this only happened once i’d gotten to a certain part of the fic

Fanworks can definitely trigger memories and feelings, especially if they capture something that was meaningful to you. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re kin specifically…

1/2 I very conflicted. I’ve been doubting this entire identity lately. When I battle my doubts, am I just denying the truth? Do I fabricate my kinfeels and memories to fit into this identity? Am I just using to cope, to fill the empty void in my identity depression left there? Am I just doing this to belong, because I don’t belong anywhere else? Then there’s a whole other series of “what-ifs.” I want to say I’m being too hard on myself, that this is truly where my heart lies and I have figured

2/3 myself out.But I also want to say I’m deluded and crazy, that this is just a fun game my brain put together for me,…
