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…

Hey Ken! I’ve been thinking.. I’ve kind of accepted it by now, but… I think I’m Digimon kin, DMW1 leaning Digital Monsterkin. I always kind of see my kintypes as half separate from me, so it’s a bit weird though. I see it as, since every Digimon can be hatched as a fresh, or reduced to pure data, almost all Digimon can become almost all other Digimon, in theory. Does it make sense? I don’t know any other Digimon, so I don’t know if this would be strange.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, but its good to meet you ^^ Kin that hail from the Digital World in one…

ectoslimers: recently i’ve noticed a schism in the otherkin/fictionkin community. a lot of people use the same labels, but have very differing experiences! so some…
