What is with this sudden belief that reincarnation kin isn’t actually kin at all? I’m going to you because you know your stuff, but there has been a really sudden rise of misinformation lately and it’s really making me nervous. “Kinning” suddenly got popular with a lot of people I follow, and it high key makes me nervous because I sort of take this serious and I have past lives and memories, but people have been taking the names of those I used to know and it’s making me really uncomfortable…

On tumblr the idea of fictionkin got spread around a lot, and a lot of people have misunderstood it, to the point where some people…

is it weird to kin your own character, even if they’re from a fictional universe that isn’t your own (like an oc or playable character)? i have memories of course but i’m still worried.

Nope, its totally normal to have a kintype that began as an OC, and you discovered that it was actually your memories that created the…

Is it possible to have two different canons? Bc I have a lot of memories of this character but some of them don’t/can’t fit into the same timeline as the others

Its definitely possible there’s a reason you’re remembering more than one timeline for the same kintype, but its also possible that you’re mixing up memories…

So as a trans Fictionkin Is it abnormal to want to change all of me to look like my Fictionkin?

Not really! I think all of us as kin go through longer or shorter periods of wanting to modify our appearance to more resemble our…

If something truly is a kintype then it’d feel impossible to drop right? I tried dropping mine but it hurt so much and felt impossible to do so bc I knew it was me, I guess what I’m looking for is comfort in that

Absolutely, a kintype is something you can’t just drop at will.

Is it okay/reasonable to kin a character that speaks a different language?

Can you articulate why it wouldn’t be?

I only heard of fictionkin a day ago but I cant stop thinking about it. Theres a character in a show I watch that I connect with on a personal level so much so its almost scary. I don’t think I am or ever was this person but identifying with/as them makes me feel so comfortable and validated. Is this fictionkin or is it just something entirely different? It might be worth adding that I have a dissociation disorder and I’m worried this is just a coping mechanism that my mind made up. Thanks!

“I don’t think I am or ever was this person but identifying with/as them makes me feel so comfortable and validated” Hey friend! The…

I have a bit of a confusion crisis: I’m falling in love with lotr and I feel like I am (or maybe just identify with) Legolas but I’m also super gay for him?? Like is it possible to be kin with/ID as someone and be super attracted to them at the same time?

Let me ask you a question. Is Legolas gay for himself?

I figured somebody who has been in the ‘kin community’ for so long would be the perfect person to ask about this! I understand that everyone’s experience is different, but how do you know if you’re kin…? For example, I feel a very strong and personal bond/relation towards Achilles (Greek mythology) and saying I simply enjoy his stories or that he’s my favorite seems like a major understatement. This is also the case with a few other characters.. could I be fiction-kin? Sorry if this is stupid!

Not stupid questions! Here’s some info that should help you. http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/Experience http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/howtoknow
