How do you feel about the Tulpa community/phenomenon? I’m otherkin (not fictionkin) and recently became a tulpamancer as well. I think it’s all pretty cool. Some people in the Tulpa community have compared the Tulpa phenomenon to soulbonding — some ‘mancers even have tulpae of fictional characters. I’m curious about what soulbonders think of the comparison or the tulpa phenomenon in general.

I am actually quite familiar with the tulpa phenomenon, and have casually acquainted myself with the community. I’m not surprised that some compare tulpa and…

I think I might be Fictionkin. I never really truly understood what fictionkin was until people began to ask me if I was fictionkin with the character I now believe I am, and I researched it. It makes me kinda uneasy, because I’ve talked about fictionkin with friends and I know they dont think its a thing so I’m getting nervous about it. Part of me hopes I’m just going through a lil bit of a phase but I think I’ve always identified with the character,,, I dunno… I’m confused.

It is absolutely normal to associate as a member of a fictional race, rather than as a specific character. This happens a lot to pokekin…

hi! i’m a polykin and i’ve been pretty okay and comfortable with all of my kintypes. recently though, i’ve had a really strong connection to sephiroth from final fantasy 7 that feels a lot like a kin connection. i don’t identify as any other ‘evil’ characters and i’m worried. i’m not exactly sure what about but there’s this sense of dread that kinda comes along with seeing all the misery he caused and also going “that’s me, i did that.” i just don’t know what to do about this tbh

Funnily enough historically a lot of kin have connections to a Sephiroth. There used to a thread on livejournal about how just about every fictionkin/person…
