So when I first realized I was kin of a certain character myself and the character were nothing alike but as the source went on and his character was fleshed out more I started to notice more similarities as if his personality was evolving into mine. It was odd but comforting. I was wondering if anyone else has any similar experiences?

Hey anon. Interesting experience. That doesn’t sound too far fetched to me, honestly. I’d imagine other people have had similar experiences.

well, i have a question. there’s one character i feel really close to, i don’t have any memories tho. i don’t feel like i’m emulating them in purpose (looked at fictionhearted, nor do i feel the need to. really feels like me, but somehow also not? or not anymore? i’m confused. i don’t exactly miss anyone, but it somehow also feels right. well, as much as it can, me being kin to the original canon of the character. (the character i’m talking about is an au version) is there something for this??

I can’t tell you what your feelings mean, I’m afraid, anon. You’ll have to take time and do more introspection. To me it sounds like…

ive been looking around but i cant seem to find any information on it, is there a form of fictionkin where its not like an alternate reality or any memories, but given the same situation as a character you wouldve been exactly like them? ive been relating a lot to a few characters and im questioning if thats kin or just relating way more than average. (sorry if this is phrased weird)

I’m not sure. This sounds a little like a synpath or a hearttype to me? What do my followers think?

Hey, I was wondering if you might be able to help me out with something. I know you specialize on fictionkin but… recently a person told me that they are factkin with me. Not as a joke like some people’s “I’m factkin with this” sort of thing but actually legit factkin with me. And it really has me freaking out a bit and scared because I have a very unstable sense of identity so it really ran me through a loop. How can I cope with this? What should I do? Any advice appreciated!

Hi there, anon. I’m sorry that it took me 40 minutes to answer this ask, since I was on lunch as normally this is the…

is it unusual to actively not want to meet anyone from your canon, but to want to meet people from other canons? I rather badly hurt the main characters in my canon and I’m sure they wouldn’t want anything to do with me (and I’d have nothing to say to them anyways), but I think I could be good friends with certain people from other canons.

This doesn’t sound too unusual to me, anon. I generally enjoy meeting people from other canons/sources than my own too. 

The Persona 5 game just got a release date, and with the new trailer I feel a little too much like they just put me in it with one of the characters revealed. I went through this with P4 and found out I soulbonded one of the characters and wasn’t actually kin (I was like super panicked about it for a while). Now I’m just like, ho-hum please don’t do this. Idk. Just wanted to share I guess, bc I don’t ever talk kin or soulbonds on tumblr. It’s just frustraing at this point. You ever deal w this?

Oh yeah, anon. I hear you. Sometimes I see a glimpse of something, in a trailer, or a list on youtube or something and I;m…

I saw a term recently that I thought would be helpful for the community as a whole. For characters that you relate to intensely/exemplify your personality and aesthetic in this life but are not kin with I have seem people call them Aesthetic Characters. It’s different from Comfort Characters in that while comfort characters bring comfort these characters are just kind of like pointing and going “same!”

That sounds like an awesome term. Thanks, anon!
