Fiction kin is extremely unhealthy, not to mention disrespectful. When a person takes time and effort to bring life to a character, one whom may or may not have deep, personal ties to the creator, it’s extremely rude to take all that hard work and say “I AM THIS CHARACTER! I HAVE THEIR MEMORIES!” When no, you are not their character, you never will be. Also, what does “my canon” mean? CANON = what happens in the official publication. Not whatever the fuck happens in your crazy fucking head.

Fiction kin is extremely unhealthy,  Uh, source? [Citation Needed]. Are you a doctor? Have you discovered the link between being kin and cancer? not to…

I think I may be only fictionkin, but up until a little while ago I thought I was a therian as well. My best friend is a theriomythic, and also fictionkin, and I don’t know how to explain I think I’m not a therian anymore? I’m afraid he’ll think I’m mucking him around and not taking enough time to think about these things (when, in reality, I do, because this was my worst fear). How do I tell him?

If your friend is seriously therian, then he should applaud you for having the introspection and self-understanding necessary to know when you were wrong about…

Can I call myself otherkin without meditating? I know people always suggest that, but what are some other ways of introspection?

You absolutely can call yourself otherkin without meditation. Meditation is just a tool that helps some people focus and understand their feelings and identities better.…

(In response to the anon that called you “unhelpful” and said that you were “damaging” certain identities/beliefs) You’ve actually helped me out a /lot/, honestly. I’ve sent in a few asks before and your responses are informal and something I look forward to reading. I’m a more confident individual, and I feel much better about my strange identity/experiences. Thank you!

I’m really glad to hear it, anon 🙂 This is the kind of thing that keeps me going!

I sort of have a problem? I think I’m otherkin, in addition to my fictionkin-ness. There’s these weird weights on my back and tailbone, and my mind keeps saying ‘don’t sit there, you’ll cramp your wings’, or I’ll involuntarily sit in a weird position so I don’t hurt my tail. I’m not sure, though.

It sounds like you have some phantom/astral limbs anon! They may or may not be related to a kintype. (sometimes limbs like these are related…
