so i latched on to this character that i did not choose, i identify with them very strongly. sometimes i want to be their friend, sometimes i feel like i want to be them but sometimes i catch myself feeling like i am them? but i don’t believe i am them. would you say i am fiction hearted with them, something else, nothing?

I would say from your ask, and from what it sounds like your experience has been, there is no way to know. Its okay to be confused, its normal to go through stages where we don’t know exactly whats going on in our own heads.

Its possible that you’re fictionkin. Its possible you’re fiction-hearted. Its possible that you have a nascent soulbond who you look up to a lot. Only you can know for sure.

What you need to do is some self exploration Find that thread inside yourself and see where it leads. Write about your feelings. Try to ‘talk’ to the character and see if they answer back. Do meditation, and see if you get any memories. Explore yourself any way you think could work for you.
