Having a body that doesn’t match that of your kinself/kintype is a normal otherkin and fictionkin experience. Its practically a requirement. It is of the…

It is perfectly legitimate to be kin of someone whose body, mind and/or life experiences are different than yours. Kin do not chose their kintype/kinself.…

do you think it’s possible for a fickin to be a mixture between reincarnated, and psychological/coping? I feel most of mine were past lives and i have memories for a good few of them, but they still, at least sort of, affect me psychologically/help me cope with mental illness by giving me more of a sense of self and something to relate to, even if i didn’t choose them. do you think that’s possible?

Many, many reincarnated/spiritual kin rely on aspects of their kinself for comfort and strength. Drawing on your identity as kin to help you cope with…

two of my mutuals that i considered friends are against white people IDing outside their race (one being a poc that regularly asks others to suggest them new kintypes and the other being a white person) and it makes me excruciatingly paranoid and afraid to the point i made a separate fickin blog to talk about my kins, but i really want to figure out a way to either dissuade them from the racism notion or at least ease my anxiety, do you have any suggestions?

You could tell them that its almost certain that the concept of ‘not IDing outside your race’ was thought up by someone white pretending to be…

Your post on the fictionkin fictive difference made me wonder – what about fictives who are also fictionkin? As in, they remember past lives in the same way any fictionkin does, even though they have a main/current form similar to a fictionkin’s current life. But maybe that’s a soulbond thing? Since I always heard that fictives were specifically related to alters who are fictional, and soulbonds can come and go as they wish and aren’t necessarily a part of the host.

I won’t take a stance on whether alters can be fictionkin, as alters are specifically DID related and not something I am qualified to discuss.…

What are fictionkin? Fictionkin; (noun): A person who discovers that they have in some way inherited the soul/spirit/complete mentality of a fictional character, and the…

The idea that fictionkin are somehow ‘violating copyright law’ has been making me laugh for nearly a decade. Seriously, i made a bunch of *livejournal* icons…

(part 1) The otherkin community has interested me for a long time and I admit that in the beginning I did not understand it and had some less than nice thoughts about it simply because of that, but now I’ve read up on it, especially here on your blog, and I have found that I can relate? A lot? This is all very confusing to me, but I think several experiences I haven’t understood earlier might be signs that I’m fictionkin. I have identified with a character for a long time and I thought that

(Part 2) it was only to the level everyone gets, but after reading your posts I’m starting to see that might not be it. I…

Why do people say “there’s no such thing as otherkin”? That’s a little like saying ‘there’s no such thing as pagans” or “there’s no such thing as communists.”…

There was recently someone who clumped me in to being like other “godkin” (I use the term with caution due to some religious protest) but the biggest complain they have is that gods are higher than people, as though monism and impersonal universal forces aren’t legitimate. I’m nervous to come off anon, but what are your personal (and/or analytical) thoughts on those who identify as deities from human history and/or deities from works of fiction?

As a pagan, and a spiritual person, I have mixed feeling about people who identify as deities. Firstly, I respect anyone who sincerely believes that…
