Hi! I just found your blog and I really like it, and ts been super helpful for me. For the past two months I’ve been learning a lot about otherkin, specifically fictionkin and coming to terms with myself identifying as fictionkin. I’m 14 and have some super accepting friends who I feel like family with, but I have no clue how to go about telling them I’m fictionkin even though I want to and I’m ready to.. Any advice? Thank you for your time!

My advice, as it always is to this question, is that there is no need to share your identity as fictionkin with anyone who is…

poly-fictionkin anon here! I mainly see two types, people who identify as two characters in the same canon. (As in the same person being both Shinji Ikari AND Kaworu Nagisa from NGE) And, I also see people being kin with multiple characters from different canons. (So one person being, Shinji Ikari, Steven Universe, and Miku Hatsune). What are your opinions on those two types?

My basic opinion is that every identity someone has should be given equal weight and scrutiny by both themselves, and others. I believe each identity…

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…

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…

so a good friend of mine on here made a post. it turns out theyre into that otherkin and fictionkin bullshit. like. i rlly like them theyre fun (one of my fellow memes), but that shit puts me off. like, idk why, it rubs me the wrong way. but that otherkin fictionkin bullshit really gets me fucking pissed??? like its just so incredibly idiotic. i have a huge problem with it. it’s so stupid i cant even put it into words

And you’re telling me this why? You’re the one who has a problem here. Take a few deep breaths, and realize you’re an asshole.

Hello! I’ve been doing a lot of research lately, and everything I’ve read about fictionkin just seems to fit me. I know my “canon” as I think it’s called and everything, but there’s a problem. None of the characters feel like me, but that particular canon universe feels like my home and I’m positive many of the characters were my friends or acquaintances. Could it be possible that I’m not someone shown on screen or does that not fit the definition of “fictionkin?” Thanks so much for your help!

As I have said to many before, this absolutely fits the definition of fictionkin. Believing you are from, and have experience in a fictional world…

i have strongly identified as a crowkin for pretty much as long as i can remember, however i recently got into reading homestuck, and the character davesprite stood out to me on a completely different level. not because i like him in particular, but more like i felt i WAS him. some of his actions/things he said were almost like they were jogging my memory, as if it had happened to me before. could i be a fictionkin or am i just deluding myself?

I think there’s a strong possibility that you’re fictionkin. Frankly the earlier crowkin feelings could easily relate more specifically to Davesprite than to crows in…

hiya!! im not sure if you can answer this but is being fictionkin a sin?? christianity-wise?? my religion is just as important to me as being comfortable in my own (s)kin. i just want to know bc im currently going through a period of self discovery and i just wanted to know if can be comfortable with myself and still be accepted(?) and “”pure””(?) as my religion puts it. sorry if you cant answer it but thanks for reading anyway!! :^)))

Well, I am not Christian, but, given that I went to catholic school, I feel that I actually have some hope of answering this. Though…

i think i might be fickin but ive never been kin before. i have a close friend who thinks fickin is completely ridiculous but shes helped me with a LOT and i dont want to lose her. i dont think she’ll necessarily drop me at the moment but sort of float away, you know? i dont wanna keep it in the dark, i wanna be able to express it…. what should i do? advice? D:

My advice to fictionkin, and otherkin in general is not to go around telling people about your identity ESPECIALLY before you are sure of yourself.…

I strongly identify as a character who I dislike? They hurt a lot of people, and that makes me very uncomfortable.. do you have any tips on identifying as a villain and how to deal with that? I have a lot of guilt about identifying as them and am really worried about talking to people from my canon who were hurt by me (or even killed by me). I’m not sure if it’s okay to identify as a character who’s done these things. I just don’t know if I can reconcile my feelings with their actions.

How do you feel about the bad things you may have done when you were younger? Do you accept them as part of yourself, and…

I’ve come to find the hatred that ‘kin receive to be deeply saddening. 99.9% of the time, the reason people provide for hating ‘kin is because they think we’re “crazy”. They literally hate people that they think have a mental illness, solely on the basis of what they consider that ‘illness’ to be. In what universe is that not an unbelievably fucked up thought process? How is behaving like that better than being ‘kin?

I wish I had an answer for you. Sadly no matter what idea you have, and how harmless is its, people will be against it,…

(tw for blood, gore, death etc) i don’t understand fnaf fictionkin or any horror related fictionkin in general. why would you want to identify as a character whose only personality traits is murdering people? i think it’s really scary and i don’t want to be anywhere near them out of fear of them fantasizing about wanting to bite my head off :c

theangrylionshark: Identifying as otherkin isn’t about identify as what you want…it’s about understanding who and what you are (aside from human of course). Yeah, I’m…

ive been thinking i might be fictionkin but i cant seem to find anyone else who identifies with the “species” and im very confused and dont know how to figure out if i am or not and im very intimidated by the community and people potentially looking down on me and dont want to tell anyone. i see a lot of support for specific fictional character kin but not so much for fictional race kin and im very confused is there any advice you would possibly have?? thank you ;;

As someone who has a hard time finding others of their ‘kintype’/from my universe, I sympathize with you. I also sympathize when you say you’re…
