Hello, I recently discovered that I might be fictionkin. I’ve always had a really deep connection with the character and thought of us as being super similar, but I didn’t really think I was kin until I thought of myself as him. Suddenly, I started feeling like I was kin and had a few memories but I also feel upset and embarrassed because it’s a show I genuinely enjoy. I don’t want to think I’m kin and have it turn out I just like the show and relate to the character a little too much.

My advice is to just take it slow and not rush into any beliefs. Take some time to explore your feelings and memories through deep…

Thank you… Like, as a content creator who IS kind of uncomfortable with the idea of fictionkin of their work, I just wanted a little advice? It’s mostly because I identify very strongly with my works- they’re a part of me, and I, it… So it feels weird to me, like people are identifying as ME on some level. Hearing what you had to say really helped a lot though, thank you. I hope you have a good day.

I’m glad I could help. Personally, I would take it as a compliment. If someone identifies as kin from a fiction of yours, its becasue…

So I think I might be fictionkin. There is a character I feel a close similarity to and people who know both him and me have actually commented that we’re alike. I feel at home in the canon world he’s from and I think I even feel the same for a different character… But the thing is, I don’t have what many fictionkin described, that they look at their fictype and think THIS IS ME, see? I don’t know what to think. Does that nean I can’t be fictionkin?

(Anon who doesn’t get the IT’S ME feeling) I also may possibly have memories of being this character? Difficult to say whether that’s just overactive…

(1/2) Hi! First off, I reallyreally love your blog a lot. You’re incredibly well articulated and have brought up topics that I’ve never even considered before. I had an inquiry myself, and you may possibly have answered something similar in the deep recesses of your blog, but… Gonna go for it anyway. I have a lot of discomfort surrounding my death and how the fandom depicts it. The common and widely excepted theory is that it was intentional suicide on my part, and I was doing it because

(2/2) I wanted to protect the others and give them a warning, and that I was so smart and chose to take my own way…

Since I was little I had this strong ‘I don’t belong in this world/I’m not supposed to be here’ type feeling. I found the canon I’m apart of when I was thirteen. Memories started coming back to me almost immediately and I cried almost everyday because of how painfully bittersweet it was to remember. I miss my world a lot. I miss my friends and I miss my lover. I went through a lot with them, we went through so much to be happy and now I’m not with them. (cont. in another ask)

( cont.) In my last life I was lonely in the beginning and then I met them and things got better. In this life…I don’t…

Hello! Recently, I discovered that I’m kin with a guy who was… Really bad. Like, bad enough that he murdered a lot of people and ruined a lot of lives. And recently, I also found a few people who identify as people I wronged horribly back then. I’m too scared to approach them as I don’t even know how to begin to ask for forgiveness (which is something I feel is necessary). Do you think they would hold it against me since I’m (literally) a different person now?

Hello, anon. I certainly understand how you feel as that describes my own ‘kintype’ to a T. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I haven’t had the luck…

I notice you put a lot of emphasis on identifying AS your fictotype. Do I count as fictionkin if I believe I was my fictotype in a past life, but I don’t currently identify as them? My apologies as I’m sure you’ve been asked this before, but I went through a few pages of your blog and read some of your links and didn’t see anything specifically about this.

Absolutely. When I put the emphasis on ‘as’, what I mean is, that its a part of your identity, or your past. Part of your…

Recently I’ve started to think that I may be fictionkin; I’ve never really ‘believed’ in fictionkin, but I recently watched the anime Haikyuu!! and one character, Kenma, just stood out to me so much. They were onscreen for less than a minute and I felt overwhelming emotion towards them, like I /was/ them. The fact that this was strong enough for me to accept possibly being fictionkin means its serious, but I’m still uncomfortable. Do you know any ways to make the journey to acceptance smoother?

The journey to accepting yourself as fictionkin, is, like any other journey of acceptance, long, and hard. I would say, longer and harder than many…
