So.. I have this character. He’s an original character, not from any universe. I made him 7 years ago, and honestly he feels really close to my heart. Our personalities/looks/etc aren’t alike at all, but.. he’s so familiar. When I write him, it’s like I’m writing something that I could have tangibly experienced. SOmetimes I’ll have experiences and I’ll flash to thoughts of him. Could it be possible I subconsciously brought out a past life that could be considered fictionkin?

That is absolutely possible. I have say before, and I have said again, authors CAN be kin with their own characters. Honestly, its oceans more…

I went through an awakening and I have several memories from my canon, so in my mind my kintype is pretty well cemented. But I feel like I see much more of “myself” in another character from another fandom, if that makes sense. They’re so much more like me than the character whose memories I have. Is this common? It feels weird and I feel out of place identifying as the character I awakened as, knowing there’s another one out there who seems much more like me.

It can be hard to understand and accept, but your kintype isn’t always the person who has the most in common with who you are…

i want to be a good friend to my fictionkin friends, but thinking about multiverses and things messes with my sense of reality to the point of nausea, so i just don’t talk to them about their kin stuff ever… :/ i’ve been trying to research it but i can’t do it for too long at once because i get so uncomfortable. can i still be a good friend if i say nothing?

You absolutely can. There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable in this matter. You’re clearly a good friend, and you’ve made an effort to…

Have you ever experienced an energetic shapeshift with regard to your kintype? I know this is common for therians/otherkin, but how about fictionkin? Pretty sure I shifted into the fiction kintype tonight, but my kintype also isn’t human, so it was pretty noticeable. I’m curious about the shifting experiences of human-based ‘kin. If you’ve shifted, is it harder to discern because your other self was human too?

This is not something that I typically experience. I have had a few moments in my life where I seemed to ‘regress’ to my earlier identity…
