Can you talk more about non-fictive headmates, specifically how to distinguish them from fictives? Because I have a headmate who has refused to identify herself for the longest time. Also, is it possible to turn an imaginary friend from one’s childhood into a headmate?

A non-fictive headmate is pretty simple anon ^^ If you have a headmate and you don’t immediately know what canon/source they are from, then they…

Not sure if you got this question yet, but have you heard of the fictional other coping mechanism? I kno peeps who were “copingkin” and after reading your posts on the subject, realized that the concept of a fictional other was a better coping mech. It’s basically like..I guess an internal RP? A fictional character you take on as a “significant other”. You KNOW it isn’t real, but when you’re lonely or depressed you kind of dwell on that idealized relationship? Hard to describe. Helped me a lot.

Anon, I have a few thoughts on this subject, so I hope you’ll pardon me if I ramble a bit. My first reaction is that…

So I believe I’m a fickin of a AU from a video game. Where I was two of the main characters child. Like I feel homesick for that world and see them as role models. Is this possible? I get upset and people tag it as a Mary Sue thing, because I’m not.

It is totally possible to be kin of a character who was not shown in a story, or who only existed in an AU. Don’t…

What’s going on if there’s a different personality in my mind that I can talk to and that shares my memories, and he identifies with the name/pronouns of a fictional character, but the two of us are also kin for different fictional characters simultaneously? Do I have DID and am fictionkin, or am I just fictionkin for all three characters and I like talking to myself? I feel like a liar, even though I’m probably not…

This is definitely a question I can answer! Lets break this down! there’s a different personality in my mind that I can talk to and…

I’m not sure how to explain this but here it goes. I think that I am kin to a character and this character often gets into fights. I’m getting memories of the fights this character has been in, is this normal?

Absolutely normal! I hope your memories aren’t stressing you out too much. Its completely normal to have memories of things that happened to your kinself…

jesus crap, people can’t read or something. you’re saying relying on your fictionkin identity as a coping mechanism = OK. choosing to become kin _as a coping mechanism_ = impossible. how is it that hard to understand. anyway, i agree with you.

Thank you so much ^^ I don’t know why people get so offended when I say this. I am not trying to gatekeep or police…
