Re: soulbonding with yourself: my canon has many alternate universes and versions of myself interact in canon, and I am soulbonded to a version of myself from a timeline where things happened almost exactly as they did in canon, whereas I’m from a more deviated timeline, but we are both technically the same character – just not the same person. It can happen!

Thanks for sharing!

If you find yourself gaining a new kinself *every time* you watch a new show/read a new book, you need to take a step back…

On your “kin vs. multiple” thing, you never really explained mental shifts (m-shifts) as such, only a “shift”. If I’m not mistaken, this is when one kintype becomes more prominent but you do not request name/pronoun changes, correct? (I mean, someone can still do so if they want to, but of their own accord.) I’ve experienced mental and phantom shifts both together and separately and while your explanation cleared up a lot I’m still a bit lost. Thanks!

I’m sorry if my explanation confused you. I tried to keep it simple for those who are not part of the community, and/or are questioning…

Okay, this is going to sound like a troll question, but… do you think it’s possible for a kin to, say, soulbond with themselves from another reality? Like, if you’re Ken, could you soulbond with Ken from a slightly different timeline? Have you ever heard of this happening?

I have never personally heard of this happening, however, there is no reason it could not. It sounds like a very weird experience! Anyone who…

i have a question for the mod, does anyone irl know you’re fictionkin?

I often advocate for people NOT to tell people IRL in their lives that they’re fictionkin. At least, not to tell people who are not…

I think I’m fictionhearted but it’s with a character from something rare. I mean I feel a lot better understanding what I feel, but I almost kind of wish the canon had more attention or that I could find more people who are kin/hearted with it.

This is a feeling a lot of kin/hearted people share. Sadly some sources are simply quite rare, while others are overflowing. I have never met…

Hey, so..I’ve never understood kin at all until recently. I started playing a game and I feel very intensely for a character. Not that they are even my favourite which is likely due to my own feelings towards myself. But when I try to read fics of her, I feel like someone is writing about me and feel uncomfortable. Everything about them feels like me, like we’re one or connected. But I’m not a spiritual person, and I’m not sure I believe in souls. Do you think I could still count as fictionkin?

People believe in fictionkin in many different ways. Some people who don’t believe in spirits or souls believe fictionkin from a purely psychological perspective. I…
