For about a year, I’ve been trying to figure out whether I am fictionkin of a character, or just too attached. I have a hard time believing in fictionkin, so that’s part of why I haven’t wanted to explore it more. Lately though, when I’ve seen pictures of places that remind me of Home, I’ve felt a longing so intense that it’s almost painful, and I don’t think I can deny it anymore. How do I come to terms with this?

Its hard. Its hard to believe that you’re fictionkin, and to come to terms with that. Its so much easier to just believe that you’re…

You can’t be a fictional character. You’re delusional. How do you even have the faintest idea that fictionkin could be a thing? If anything, it’s a sign that you have a mental illness.

Do you feel there’s anything about the way Ken/the Digimon Kaiser was portrayed in canon that doesn’t accurately reflect the way you remember yourself being? I’m always interested in hearing about how these things differ with regard to canon/past life.

There are a few points where my own past differs from what was shown in the television show- some more interesting than others. I think…

hello! im trying to figure out if im fictionkin or not, because im all new to this. is there any real way to find out if youre fictionkin? im sorry if i worded this wrong,,

The only way to know if you are fictionkin or not is to know yourself. There is sadly no blood test, no list of traits…

(Fictionkin vs. fictionheir cont.) Something came to mind that reinforces the importance of differing terms: I’m otherkin (spiritually), and have at various points been what you define as ‘fictionheir’. My fictional identities have never felt spiritual, and tended to shift with time. This made me feel fake in comparison to those whose identities had a strong spiritual basis–I’ve never known if I belonged in the community. Separating the concepts can better help people understand what they are.

That was a great response to the “choosing to identify as fictionkin vs. spiritually awakening as fictionkin” issue. I’m really grateful that you defined the two separately without deciding that one was less valid than the other. I hope the idea of ‘fictionheir’ catches on in the community–I honestly feel like it would suit a lot of the new ‘kin on tumblr better than the fictionkin label.

Thank you very much! I hope that it catches on too. I really think that people that fall under that category as I’ve defined it…

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…
