do you know of any way to make one’s headspace visual?

The only way I know is to deliberately visualize it until it becomes reflexive/internalized. Do visualization exercises /guided meditation /memory palace work. You can lay…

Hi! I’ve just got a quick question.. I kinda want to talk to my therapist about how I’m fictionkin/a therian but I don’t know how I should go about doing that.. I have (diagnosed) anxiety so it’s kinda hard for me.. Do you have any advice?

My biggest advice is just to be open and honest with your therapist. Don’t try to sugar coat it, or feed it to them in…

Saying “you can’t be kin outside of your race” is actually stupidly racist. What about people of races that have no, or very little, fictional representation? They’re not allowed to be kin, or what? Only white/black/Asian people are permitted to be a part of the community, I guess. Everybody who isn’t white/Asian is forced to identify with a narrow scope of characters that are often one-note or badly written because racism fucking exists in the media. Yeah, that’s not marginalizing.

Totally agree with you, anon.

Well, my spouse is “fictional” here. I just treat it as spirit spousery.

Good to know! @popculturepagan I forgot to mention there are a lot of soulbonders who have fictional spouses and significant others.

Uhm, hi. So, i have identified myself as being a somewhat bad kind of character. They are SCP-096, i feel like i am literally SCP-096. But the point is, is that i am worried someone will think i am a bad person, because i identify as a bad character.

LOTS of us are kin of ‘bad’ characters. Honestly I doubt that anyone who is kin doesn’t have a memory of doing something they regret. There…

Hi, I’m pretty new to this kin stuff, and so I’m a bit confused over how I’m feeling. When I look at this particular character or think about them, I definitely get a sense of “oh that’s me” and I have a vague idea of who the character was outside of canon context. But when I evaluate their characteristics and mine, we seem to be two completely different people. How can I possible identify as a character when I am nothing like them? Am I something other than kin?

Anon, its totally possible to be kin of someone that seems nothing like you are now. Especially if you believe in kin by reincarnation, people…

I just realised that nothing really happened to me and I was hit with depression, and when I was having “making-myself-cry-by-talking-weird-things-that-made-no-sense” fits I often repeated that I wanted to go home really badly even when I WAS home?? I dunno. And if somehow I AM fictionkin, could it be that in my past life something really bad happened? It’s all overhelming…

Ouch, anon. You have my deepest sympathy. That was a feeling I often experienced when I was younger. Wanting to go home, even when I…

hi! first, i really like your blog! but i’d also like your opinion on something. i have one kin i feel really strongly about and have vague memories of my classmates and friendships. i’m questioning another kin where i feel a lot more strongly as far as the identity (that’s me!) but i don’t have any kind of emotional memories outside of that. (yet?) is that still kin? is there such a thing as “secondary kin” where it’s a lesser connection? i’m a bit overwhelmed by all this, honestly.

Some people are more or less connected to thier kinlives, and feel them more or less deeply. It’s possible that the kintype you’ve stumbled on…
