I was thinking, what if a heartype is someone you’ll be in a future life? Like a kintype is someone/something you were in a past life maybe a heartype is the opposite

I think that’s a fascinating theory, anon. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case at least some of the time.

Is it normal to doubt and question kintypes?

It absolutely is, anon. Its normal and healthy to question and doubt yourself sometimes, just as long as it doesn’t become a fixation.

I know what you mean about heart types! Mine is Sansa Stark. I feel like in some other place, I should have been her. I’m not, but I could be and perhaps should have been. It’s strange, and very different to being kin, who i actually am.

Its nice to hear from someone who has the same experience. 🙂 Thanks, anon!

To that ridiculous anon a while back, this IS part of my religion. Please tell me why you think you have the right to dictate my religion? What on earth makes you that arrogant? Nothing? No reason? Thought not.

Some people feel like they have the right to dictate beliefs to other people. They don’t.

Some Identities

beaconsystem: Otherkin: An involuntary, non-physical non-human identity. One who identifies as it. Fictionkin: An in voluntary, non-physical identity as a character/species as portrayed in a…

You can be an atheist and believe that angels/god exist. Specifically, you can believe that the -entity- of ‘god’ exists, but not believe in the ‘divinity’ of that entity. Being atheist necessitates that you don’t believe in ‘higher powers’, but doesn’t explicitly mean that you don’t believe in spiritual entities. I could say YHWH is real, but not agree that he is [a] god. If I refuse the ‘godhood’ of all entities, this would still qualify as atheism.

Technically, you are absolutely right, anon. Generally I use the term ‘atheist’ when what I mean is “someone who believes there is no magical or spiritual element…

So a non-kin friend of mine recently told me that they think all otherkin are mentally ill for thinking that they are animals. What’s the best way to explain to her that kinity is a belief about your soul/mind and not about physically being an animal? I know you focus on fictionkin but this is a kin thing in general.

Some people won’t be convinced no matter what you say, anon. Which is unfortunate, but true. I suppose you could ask them if they believe…

I’ve had a few mistaken kintypes – but they’ve all had something of my ‘actual’ so I can only think of them as prep for my reality when I was able to understand it. And I’m glad for that.

I know the feeling, anon. When I’ve had mistaken kintypes, its generally because the character is going through something that is either very familiar to…

Please stop. This is unhelpful and damages religions that believe in reincarnation, science, transgendered individuals, and a lot of other things. Please, just at least think about how you affect others with this.

I do think about how I affect others, anon, unlike perhaps you. When I think about how I affect others, I think about all of…

what does it mean to id as a character? do you have to be kin?

The problem with “ID” as a term is that it doesn’t have a set definition and means different things to different people. Some people who are…
