Its a tricky question, anon, and there’s definitely some grey space and room for questioning. Generally the way I tell a memory is if it…
As of right now, I don’t, anon. But I get this question often enough I am working on putting together a guide and links to…
Does anyone know of a word currently or previously in use that describes the combined fictionkin/ otherkin/ otherhearted/ fictionhearted/ synpath/ fictive/ soulbond community, or any…
Great advice, anon ^^
Sometimes realizations come slowly. And you certainly don’t HAVE to mediate to know you are kin- that’s just something I advise when someone is trying…
do you think its possible for your soulbond to have such an impact on your personality that you mistake it for being kin with it?…
Ehhhhh…. it depends on what you mean by ‘not have an attachment’. Do you mean you’re not attached to the ‘canon’ of this world but rather feel…
Honestly, I have very little idea, especially as to where they might fit for spiritual/supernatural kin theory. My best guesses are *some kind of walk-in…
Kin feelings can come and go. Sometimes our kintype is the most important thing on our minds, but sometimes it is overshadowed by thoughts and…
I don’t know enough about these specific kintypes to make a judgement about whether there is something especially strange about the relationship between them. However,…
It depends on what you mean by ‘gatekeeping’. I am strongly in favor of maintaining a somewhat ‘strong’ definition of what being kin means, and not…
It bothers the hell out of me too anon. Proper form is X is my kintype of just ‘I’m X’. However, it seems to be accepted…
I’m happy for you that you don’t have a lot of painful memories and nostalgia, anon. Not everyone does, and that’s a good thing. Only…
may·on·naiseˈmāəˌnāz,ˈmanāz/ noun a thick, creamy dressing consisting of egg yolks beaten with oil and vinegar and seasoned. The American FDA has ruled that mayonnaise must…
Don’t worry too much about it, canon isn’t *always* what triggers memories, though it tends to be for a lot of people. Its possible your…
As far as I’m aware its totally okay to have a crush on someone who is a synpath? Other synpaths please chime in this is…
It sounds like you’re definitely over-questioning it. Its okay. Its something we all do now and again, because you’re right, its not something that can…
Thanks for saying so. 🙂 Its interesting with writers– in my experience some are immediately enamored with the idea of kin, or of the multiverse…
From a discussion I had with someone earlier via message. Touches on multiverse theory, author/creator dichotomy, how doubles exist, the perception of kin only being ‘popular’ types,…
I feel for you, anon. Souls and such weren’t on my radar when I first started awakening as kin. Here’s the thing. Its okay to…
Thanks for the heads up. Here’s the post this anon is referencing.
Yes, anon, it is totally possible to be kin of a ‘non-existent’ character- as in a person who doesn’t exist in the canon/source material of the…
First of all, you’ll need to take your time. Even with an instant reaction, it can take weeks, months, or even years to truly understand…
I recommend you take a look at my website, anon. http://fictionkin.net/ On tumblr, you can also look at this blog, as well as @youredoingkinwrong @who-is-page @bloodswapkankri…
Ouch, tough call. There is a LOT of elf fiction out there, and probably no way that you can see it all. Nothing says necessarily…
Well, the easiest way would be if you had any memories- that would probably clear things right up because they’d be from your kinself’s perspective.…
I find it best to deal with negative kin memories and feelings the same way I deal with negative memories and feelings in this life.…
autisticpeko: so i’m looking into more terms for connections w fictional characters and i’m wondering if anyone’s had a similar experience? it kind of seems…
You sound like fictionkin to me, if you believe that you ‘are’ Sariel in any way. Its totally okay and normal to use your identity to…
My biggest advice is just to be open and honest with your therapist. Don’t try to sugar coat it, or feed it to them in…
Totally agree with you, anon.
I’m really glad to hear that, anon! Its always good to help people understand what being kin is.
LOTS of us are kin of ‘bad’ characters. Honestly I doubt that anyone who is kin doesn’t have a memory of doing something they regret. There…
Anon, its totally possible to be kin of someone that seems nothing like you are now. Especially if you believe in kin by reincarnation, people…
Ouch, anon. You have my deepest sympathy. That was a feeling I often experienced when I was younger. Wanting to go home, even when I…
Some people are more or less connected to thier kinlives, and feel them more or less deeply. It’s possible that the kintype you’ve stumbled on…
Kin have been on tumblr since it started, but the rise of the kin community as more visible and active seems to have started around…
Its another word for kintype that specifically is for fictionkin. For example, I’m Vriska, so that could be considered my ‘fictotype’.
In case it isn’t obvious @kin-lovers02 is not a real otherkin. They are a troll/anti-kin/parody account. Posting this because anti-kin always seem confused by parody/fake…
Relating to/feeling like you have a lot in common with a character does not make you kin of them.
