I’m pretty sure I’m fictionkin, but I tend to cycle through characters. Most of the time, everyone is background noise, living in my wacky cross-canon mind hotel, with one very dominant character who I start to emulate (usually without meaning to). I get teasing comments about how the character and I are clones. And then a year later, it’s a different character. It’s confusing! It’s ruined friendships because I “change” personality so often. Any advice?

what does “soul bonded” mean?

Soul bonded at its core means you’re mentally connected with someone- usually a fictional character. You hear their voice in your head during the day,…

I’m new with the whole concept of fictionkin. From what I’ve learned I feel like a friend of mine is fictionkin. Since he is so spiritually connected with certain characters to the point you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Is that fictionkin or something else? I’m not entirely sure. :/

From the outside, that certainly sounds like fictionkin. It could be something else though, like fiction-hearted, or soulbonding. I’d recommend telling your friend that you…

If I feel like I’m some kind of AU version of a character, could I be fictionkin?

Absolutely. Most people don’t match up with their ‘canon’ 100%.

I never believed in this Kin stuff. When I found out about fictionkin and headmates, it felt like “There’s a WORD for that?” I still don’t want to believe it, but I have to admit that it’s a relief to find this blog. I’ve had experiences that just can’t be explained away. So thank you.

I’m glad to be here, as a resource for people who need one.

Someone close to me suggested I might possibly be fictionkin of someone very powerful and well-loved from a really famous fandom, and I can see why they said that but I also hate the idea. I don’t feel good enough, I’m nowhere near as great as he is. I feel like I don’t deserve it. Is there anything I can do to accept the idea long enough to explore it fully?

I’ve struggled with similar feelings. Honestly, I think the fact that you feel like you’re not ‘worthy’ is a good indication that it may be a…
