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 intimidated by the community, which can, sadly, be very hostile at times. On the other hand, it can also be very welcoming.

Like I told the last querent, the only one who can decide if you are who you believe you are is *you*. There are no blood tests for being a pikachu, or for being Homura Akemi, or anyone else. Only you can look deep inside yourself and see the shape of your soul.

With that in mind I recomend you do two things:

1) a lot of personal meditation. I can recommend methods if asked.

2) create a ‘throwaway’ kin blog and write down all your thoughts about your personal search. maybe you’ll find more people of your kintype than you think, and also support from the wider community of kin.
