Is it possible to be fictionkin by spiritual beliefs and psychological things? Because I’m not sure what my religion is, but I believe in reincarnation and the multiverse. But I also think that it might be influenced by my mental health.

Its really all up to you, anon. Spiritual and psychological are really just terms of continence. You can believe that your kintype is influenced by…

I have one character that I am kin with, and I also have a synpath. But lately I’ve been feeling shifts for the synpath, particularly the urge to talk like them. This feels a bit odd, since he’s VERY different from both me and my kintype. Not unpleasant, just odd. And I was wondering what this means. I still don’t feel like I am him. But lately he’s been talking through me more than normal. What exactly could this mean? And should he be handled any differently than my kintype?

That;s very interesting, anon. I don’t really have an experience with synpath shifts. Maybe someone else who has can answer your question better? However, your…

hi! could you elaborate a bit more on where the line between fictionkin and fictionhearted lies? i only ask because there’s a character that resonates with me quite deeply, and a lot of our base traits are the same, but i also sorta have my own identity and personality beyond him. so i’m puzzling over what the right term is.

Hey there anon. 🙂 Fictionkin is the right term if you believe you ARE this character. Fictionhearted is the right term if you share traits/the…

How long can a shift last?

Indefinitely. Some shifts only last minutes, some hours, some days. A shift could probably theoretically go on forever.

I’m a non-canon character who was married to a canon character and lived in a world. Sure, it hurts no-one remembers me. But it doesn’t make it any less beautiful and real and the people who matter, who were there, remember. I hope you find your place, anon!

Thanks for sharing, anon <3

Is it kin if you don’t identify as a character but with a universe, like you belong in it? And there are very strong feelings and ties to certain characters in that universe that feel real?

Sounds like it could be -hearted, or you could have a kintype that’s basically an “OC” from that universe, ie, someone who wasn’t shown in the…

Is it possible to control phantom shifts (Like, control when they happen)?

It depends. Its generally possible to trigger shifts deliberately, but it can be difficult to stop them from happening spontaneously.

Can you explain Aesthetic kin to me?

To my knowledge Aesthetic “kin” aren’t kin, they’re people who take a fictional character’s aesthetic as their own.

Can you explain the difference between being fictionhearted and synpath? I’m questioning my connection to some characters and the definitions you have on your FAQ for these words make the most sense to me, but I’m not sure how to figure out which would be a more appropriate label.

fictionhearted: I want to BE that. Synpath: I want to HUG that. Fictionhearted: that’s who I am in my heart, that’s what I should be.…
