So something has been bothering me for a very long time- I’m hskin, but the thing is I’m 99.9% sure that I’m 3 bloody characters from the same timeline- Dirk, Dave, and Hal. I recognized my kinfeels for Hal first, but Dave was the one I confirmed first, then Dirk about a month later, and I confirmed Hal a couple weeks ago, but it’s bothering the hell out of me. I want to believe that I’m simply mixing myself up, but I have very distinct memories for each and each shift feels very different.(1/2)

(2/2)The thing is, it’s all the same bloody timeline and it’s frustrating. Some memories are the same scene from different points of view, but each…

is it normal to have kinfeels that you dont notice over the months/years, yet suddenly when seeing the actual source material it hits so hard that you end up extremely freaked out and depressed over what happened and you cant stop crying and getting so painfully emotional over sudden flashbacks of memories, knowing that what youve felt all along finally has meaning, and having this all happen within 48 hours? can i still say im them?

I can’t tell you whether you’re kin or not, but what you describe is pretty much what happened to my fiancee when she first saw…

tbh i cant tell if im fictionkin or copinglink. i dont get memories or homesickness but i get really strong emotions n stuff. but after reading about fictionkin (i knew what otherkin was so i tried seeing if there was a “fictional character eqivilant”) i thought “wow thats way more involved than i am” in that i dont really get memories and i dont really think it’s spiritual. n with all the c’link stuff going around i was like “i guess that makes sense” but i started evaluating it and well (1/2)

(2/2) well i’m starting to think that maybe i was fictionkin all along anyway, and i’m just dwelling too much on things. im not good…

Is it bad to sort of not like being fictionkin/otherkin, and rather just be a polytherian? I don’t really like the culture and stuff around fictionkin/otherkin, especially on tumblr. Plus, therian seems easier to explain (just being therian, because I am a polytherian), and it sucks more because I have a psychological kintype. Is this bad? Any advice?

I can’t really blame you for not wanting to associate with the community and culture of otherkin/fictionkin, anon. However, what I can say is what…

Is it weird to look at reader insert fanfic of you x a relative of yours in a past life? As in, not incest and viewing it from your past life’s perspective, but acknowledging that this is a completely different life and viewing it from that perspective. What about you x a different canon? Both my friend and I were curious about the morals around this.

I am really not the person to ask the perspective of this, anon, but I will give it a shot, with the caveat that I…

“partially as” anon: what is a hearttype? I’ve never heard that before. With me it’s a persistent feeling that I’m nonhuman (currently going with fey but not 100% sold) that’s been around for a long time, but it comes and goes so I don’t really relate to a lot of people who say that they feel like they’re currently not human and they’re really a fairy wandering around in the human world. I am human, and the part that feels nonhuman is just a part of me, I guess. It’s not always important

Hearttype is to fictionhearted/otherhearted as kintype is to fictionkin/otherkin. As for the rest of your ask, that sounds like an interesting experience, anon. I’m not…

I just saw a post saying I couldn’t have a certain kintype unless I had the exact same disability they had because I wouldn’t understand their experience. The thing is that the character is a CAT and I very obviously don’t experience being a cat right now either :/ the logic in those types of posts seems faulty

The logic in those posts is completely non-existent, anon, and you can feel free to ignore them. The very basis of being kin is about…

Hello, I never used to pay other/fiction kin much mind, I wasn’t an asshole and I respected them but idk I never really got it, until I realized I may be fiction kin. I was watching a show and this particular character just seemed to call to me almost and we are scarily similar, do you think I may be kin?

Hey anon. Its entirely possible you’re fictionkin. Take a look at this post for more info. http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/145245227122/what-are-some-ways-you-can-identify-a-kin-type

i use fictional characters as like a way to figure out who i am?? like, finding a character who’s like me in a way makes me very happy! i wouldn’t even mind if someone called me that charas name as like a nickname! but sometimes i wonder if anyone else does this? i think its just a Teen Thing but idk i wanna know what you think??

I think that’s a pretty normal thing, and that’s not bad! Characters are meant to touch us, and make us empathize with them. 🙂 If…

Heads up, there’s this user, tucuteforyouuwu, in the fictionkin, otherkin, and therian tags saying misinformation. So far it’s only one post, but there could soon be more. I’m pretty sure they’re either a troll, or they somewhat genuinely believe what they’re saying but are exaggerating to get reactions. Here’s the post number on their blog that I’m talking about: /post/145182082816/ (I’m telling you this because you sometimes warn about trolls in the tags)

For those curious, the post in question reads: friendly reminder that – u cant b otherkin/therian if u r white, u can only b fictionkin…

Is it strange that I experience my kin memories different than my non-kin memories? My non-kin memories are mainly visual, while my kin memories are mainly physical. Could it be that in my kin life, my memories were more physical, so in this life I remember what physically happened more? (And sorry if this question is pointless)

I don’t think its pointless, anon, I think that;s very interesting! Its very possible that as your kinself you had a different way of processing…

I’ve noticed there’s a breed of self-proclaimed kin who don’t fit any of the standard definitions. They’re not fake, or trolls, but they’re not spiritual/psychological kin, nor are they synpath or copinglink. They take on “kin” identities for the sake of aesthetic, IE that girl who claimed to be “cupcakekin” (she wasn’t a troll). Can we come up with a new name for these individuals?

I think that falls best under the heading of “non-kin IDs”.

My dad believes strongly in the concept of infinity and past lives, and we were talking about how it might be possible to be multiple fictional characters in past lives. I really, really want to tell him I’m fiction/otherkin because I hate not being able to talk to him or anyone else I’m close to about it and I know I will be safe if I explain it the right way, but I don’t want to say something wrong. I’m not the best at explain things and I don’t want to mess up. How should I come out to him?

I think if you have a good relation ship with your dad, and if he believes in the general concepts of infinity and past lives,…
