hi! i’m a polykin and i’ve been pretty okay and comfortable with all of my kintypes. recently though, i’ve had a really strong connection to sephiroth from final fantasy 7 that feels a lot like a kin connection. i don’t identify as any other ‘evil’ characters and i’m worried. i’m not exactly sure what about but there’s this sense of dread that kinda comes along with seeing all the misery he caused and also going “that’s me, i did that.” i just don’t know what to do about this tbh

Funnily enough historically a lot of kin have connections to a Sephiroth. There used to a thread on livejournal about how just about every fictionkin/person with fictives had a Sephiroth, but I cant find it just now. My personal theory about this is that its because of two things

1) The strength of Sephiroth’s force of personality

2) The shear number of Sephiroth clones there are.

Associating as an evil character is something I get questioned about frequently. Honestly, I do not ever know what to say. I associate as someone deeply evil- and yes, the horrors of the misery I have caused often causes me to feel guilty and sick. In my experience the only thing you can ‘do’ about this is to either embrace your evil (which I do not entirely recommend) or reconcile the fact that it is in your past, and move forward from it, with the intention to do no more evil.
