u kno, one of the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in regards to the “it’s racist to have fictotypes outside ur race!!!” thing was that it is racist to have SYNPATHS outside your race.

Anon, some people seem to think it is impossible for people of one race to feel any kind of empathy for people of another race.…

Where’s the line between fictionkin and otherkin? For instance, if we define otherkin as “non-human soul” and fictionkin as “soul of a fictional character”, there’s still a ton of overlap. Dragons and elves are fictional, but elf/dragonkin are otherkin. Homestuck trolls are non-human, but they’re fictionkin. Yet, both of these could qualify for either label. How do you differentiate the two?

Its a very fuzzy line indeed, and someone can be both otherkin and fictionkin at the same time. For instance anyone who has a fictotype…

The youtube channel “this exists” did a video on fictionkin. I liked it, but I wanted to know your thoughts since I really dig reading other opinions.

I see a lot of people saying how much they want to connect to the people from their canon and they see themselves as still the character or thing they were kin with, while I just want to put it all behind me and try to disconnect from it. Is this normal? Should I feel bad?

You should absolutely not feel bad. People deal with being kin in different ways. Honestly, the current obsession with finding ‘canonmates’ is… pretty new honestly, especially…

So I’ve been avoiding Harry Potter since I was little, for reasons even I couldn’t come up with. There was no reason, I just wanted to avoid it. But HP is important to my partner (who I discovered is Neville) and they sat me down and we watched all 8 movies together. At the end of the first movie, Harry returns to the Dursleys and I asked my SO ‘when does he move in with the Weasleys?’ They said ‘he doesnt’ which made me very confused because i had vivid memories of harry living with them. (1/2)

Vivid like, I could’ve -sworn- that he moved in with them during his second or third year. SO says no, I drop it despite knowing…

is it considered monsterkin or something to be kin with a creature or species that hasnt actually been conceptualised yet/something you made?

Depends on if the creature in question would be considered within the realm of ‘monsterous’. If so, then yes.

Pfft, try proving your theory and claims of being a fictional character first.

My being a fictional character isn’t a theory, its a personal belief, and I don’t have to prove it to anyone. (Nor do I attempt…

what would be your response to people saying that the otherkin theory about the multiverse “isnt how the multiverse theory works”?

“Prove it.”

as someone whos ockin, i completely sympathise with those who feel its odd to be kin with a non canon or background character, especially when theres no source material to go off of, and im pretty sure had a relationship with a canon character and you can imagine how people took that o~o

I can sympathize too, anon. It can be tough not having a lot to go off of to figure yourself out. And also tough if…
