I hope this doesn’t cause more trouble for you…but have you noticed that one of those people in the hskin tag being the kin control or whatever is kin with Peeta? Y’know a canonically poc character who was whitewashed in the films? And the person who is kin with him is white? Idk man I just needed to share this somewhere because the hypocrisy is real.

I hadn’t noticed that, anon. That’s very interesting to note. Its sad, but sometimes people are hypocrites.

u kno, one of the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in regards to the “it’s racist to have fictotypes outside ur race!!!” thing was that it is racist to have SYNPATHS outside your race.

Anon, some people seem to think it is impossible for people of one race to feel any kind of empathy for people of another race.…

Where’s the line between fictionkin and otherkin? For instance, if we define otherkin as “non-human soul” and fictionkin as “soul of a fictional character”, there’s still a ton of overlap. Dragons and elves are fictional, but elf/dragonkin are otherkin. Homestuck trolls are non-human, but they’re fictionkin. Yet, both of these could qualify for either label. How do you differentiate the two?

Its a very fuzzy line indeed, and someone can be both otherkin and fictionkin at the same time. For instance anyone who has a fictotype…

The youtube channel “this exists” did a video on fictionkin. I liked it, but I wanted to know your thoughts since I really dig reading other opinions.

more mature to want to focus on this life? wh?

Spiritually speaking it can be considered desirable to process the emotional baggage of our past until it no longer holds us back, and we are…

I see a lot of people saying how much they want to connect to the people from their canon and they see themselves as still the character or thing they were kin with, while I just want to put it all behind me and try to disconnect from it. Is this normal? Should I feel bad?

You should absolutely not feel bad. People deal with being kin in different ways. Honestly, the current obsession with finding ‘canonmates’ is… pretty new honestly, especially…

So I’ve been avoiding Harry Potter since I was little, for reasons even I couldn’t come up with. There was no reason, I just wanted to avoid it. But HP is important to my partner (who I discovered is Neville) and they sat me down and we watched all 8 movies together. At the end of the first movie, Harry returns to the Dursleys and I asked my SO ‘when does he move in with the Weasleys?’ They said ‘he doesnt’ which made me very confused because i had vivid memories of harry living with them. (1/2)

Vivid like, I could’ve -sworn- that he moved in with them during his second or third year. SO says no, I drop it despite knowing…

is it considered monsterkin or something to be kin with a creature or species that hasnt actually been conceptualised yet/something you made?

Depends on if the creature in question would be considered within the realm of ‘monsterous’. If so, then yes.

Since there is no proof either way someone is or isn’t a fictional character and each is equally likely due to lack of proof, surely there is equal burden of proof on believers and disbelievers, and I’ve never seen anything persuasive from antis?

I agree wholeheartedly, anon.
