Hey, uhm…I’m just kinda trying to figure out what, exactly, I’m experiencing. I have had a particular connection with a certain character since I was about 12 years old. I don’t feel any spiritual or religious ties, or th I am her or her reincarnation. I am me, in control of my body, and I know that she isn’t a real, tangible person. She is in control of herself and largely/entirely independent of me, but it’s like she’s a guest in my head. I didn’t create her like a tulpa. She’s like a casual

–observer. I’m not sure how to catalogue this, and was just wondering what your take on it is. She’s a ‘villain’ who is largely hated…

Okay, so I have friends who are Kins and I’m curious as heck on them… Think I can get a good explanation? Plz?

Well, first of all, I’d like to say that you should talk to your friends, and ask them what being fictionkin means to them. It…

i want to be a good friend to my fictionkin friends, but thinking about multiverses and things messes with my sense of reality to the point of nausea, so i just don’t talk to them about their kin stuff ever… :/ i’ve been trying to research it but i can’t do it for too long at once because i get so uncomfortable. can i still be a good friend if i say nothing?

You absolutely can. There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable in this matter. You’re clearly a good friend, and you’ve made an effort to…

I’ve started wondering lately if I’m kin- at first when I saw the character I was like, “that’s me- mannerisms, personality, I feel like I know exactly how they feel” and over the past couple months it’s evolved. When I see them I can’t help but identify with them on an emotional level and the “that’s me” feels like “that’s me, that’s me in maybe the right body or a different universe, not sure yet”. I feel silly getting protective sometimes because they feel like an extension of myself..?

That sounds like fictionkin to me. Congratulations on the beginning of yoru awakening. It will be a long journey, but one that will lead to…

Hi! I just found your blog and I really like it, and ts been super helpful for me. For the past two months I’ve been learning a lot about otherkin, specifically fictionkin and coming to terms with myself identifying as fictionkin. I’m 14 and have some super accepting friends who I feel like family with, but I have no clue how to go about telling them I’m fictionkin even though I want to and I’m ready to.. Any advice? Thank you for your time!

My advice, as it always is to this question, is that there is no need to share your identity as fictionkin with anyone who is…

hi!! i have just recently figured out im fictionkin, so im a lil new, but im a bit confused. i feel like i have a strong connection to multiple characters, and i say “thats me!” whenever i see any of them. ive heard this is called polykin, but im not so sure.

That does sound like polykin to me. I would do a lot of thought and meditation on the matter, but it is *possible* that you…

I’m new with the whole concept of fictionkin. From what I’ve learned I feel like a friend of mine is fictionkin. Since he is so spiritually connected with certain characters to the point you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Is that fictionkin or something else? I’m not entirely sure. :/

From the outside, that certainly sounds like fictionkin. It could be something else though, like fiction-hearted, or soulbonding. I’d recommend telling your friend that you…

If I feel like I’m some kind of AU version of a character, could I be fictionkin?

Absolutely. Most people don’t match up with their ‘canon’ 100%.

Someone close to me suggested I might possibly be fictionkin of someone very powerful and well-loved from a really famous fandom, and I can see why they said that but I also hate the idea. I don’t feel good enough, I’m nowhere near as great as he is. I feel like I don’t deserve it. Is there anything I can do to accept the idea long enough to explore it fully?

I’ve struggled with similar feelings. Honestly, I think the fact that you feel like you’re not ‘worthy’ is a good indication that it may be a…

Hello! I’m sorry for disturbing your askbox, but I have a question! I think I’m kin with this certain character, but I don’t really know if I am. I’ve actually gone through the EXACT same experiences they’ve dealt with and I noticed that we both have the same hobbies and dislikings. But maybe it’s just me overthinking. Am I kin with this character or do I just look up to them?

Only you can really answer that question for yourself. Having the same experiences in this life as a character does in a fiction can make…
