First of all, let me be very, very clear. Being a fictionflicker isn’t bad. It isn’t something to be ‘worried’ you are. Its not something negative,…
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…
Please don’t let people make you think that because your kintype experienced things that you didn’t that you aren’t them. you are. That’s what males…
Honestly, confirming a kintype with limited content is hard. Really hard. It takes a lot of thought and reflection, and honestly, it takes personal confidence.…
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.…
The word for what you were doing is ‘copinglink’, which is part of the alterhuman community (but a little different than kin). There’s nothing wrong with…
I don’t normally post ‘ad’ or aesthetic like content on this blog, but I thought this was interesting/too good to pass on since I just got…
anonymous asked: Hi… Recently i discovered i could be kin with someone from my fav game. Im not sure, cause i love this charac and…
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…
Its possible you’re kin, or that you are fictionhearted, or that the character is a synpath. What is clear is that the character effects you…
I don’t really have an ‘opinion’, in a strong way. My feeling is that if you’re from a fictionalized version of history, yes you’re probably fictionkin. …
My advice is to keep searching and listening to yourself. Try to slowly rule people out. Try to reach out for memories whose point of…
I say go for it there’s no harm in writing fiction. I’m curious to know what your premise is that its close to fictionkin!
I think the idea came from people confusing shifts with ‘switching’, which is only experienced by multiples.
The thing about kinfeels is they can be confusing. You can feel strongly about a person in your source because you were them, OR because…
Absolutely! I’m almost always aware when I’ve shifted!
I’ve recently started a small, informal skype group for adult alterhumans, primarily fictionkin. If this is something you’re interested in, please contact me privately off…
I agree that memory perspective is probably at least partly linked to physical brain architecture and chemistry at the time the memory is formed, and…
The mind is very weird, anon. This doesn’t strike me as particularly impossible. I wonder if there are any common elements between the memories in…
I know what you mean but please don’t use the term ‘fandom’ in conjunction with being kin. Source/canon/media/fiction work better. Yes, its possible under certain circumstances…
Memories and dreams aren’t the only thing that make you kin, though they can be a sign. Some other signs are: feeling lost/lonely for no…
You’re asking the wrong questions, anon. First of all, you’re not a bad person for having feelings that make you identify with a character who…
Only speaking from my experience, in my universe: Most Gems were visibly alien to humans, to a fairly significant degree. Even the most human looking…
If you can wrangle it, watch it with a friend. Thats how I got through watching Digimon recently. Make sure to take frequent breaks. Don’t…
I donno, anon. I see a lot of hate for a couple of my kintypes (Vriska and Pearl). I won’t lie, it hurts every time.…
Its possible that you’re kin. Those are all signs that point to it. Here are some articles that should help you figure out if you’re…
I’m not familiar with them, but if they’re harassing others they’re a pest and should be blocked.
Well, if someone’s creating an OC, they’re creating a fictional character and assigning traits to them. They can certainly write that their character is kin!
Glad to help, anon. 🙂 Sometimes my memories don’t come until I have to essentially ‘fact check’ something and find that the info was in my…
Anybody can identify as anything. If you’re asking of a fictive can also be fictionkin, the answer is yes in certain circumstances.
Absolutely, this is often how a lot of my memories are.
You don’t have to have kin memories to be kin, as long as you have some element of the kin experience (which includes missing people…
fictionhearted: I want to BE that. Synpath: I want to HUG that. Fictionhearted: that’s who I am in my heart, that’s what I should be.…
That does sound interesting, and I can sympathize anon. Having experiences as the same person from multiple timelines can be confusing.
Its possible to have believed someone was a synpath and discover that its actually a kintype, but make sure you spend a lot of thought…
Absolutely. The mind is a powerful thing.
I wouldn’t let one person police your feelings, and honestly, I don’t know that there’s a ‘right’ way t o express heartedness, though I’m open to…
Sadly, right now the tumblr community is the most active community of fictionkin. There are some forums that are good (i recommend incanon.org) but even…
Its possible, but its also possible that this is just a series that is meaningful to you. 🙂
