do you have any tips for being fiction/otherhearted in the otherkin community? are we welcome there? i’m fictionhearted with a character that i feel so deeply connected to i really do feel as if i am them, but i chose the character myself due to realizing my huge connection with them, and don’t have the memories of it being a past life like actual other/fictionkin so i’m kinda looking into my identity right now. thank you!

Interesting question! The fiction-hearted/otherhearted community is an evolving one, and I’m not sure anyone quite knows how we all ‘fit together’ as a larger community of…

I’m sending this on anon, since my mainblog is very separate from my kin stuff- I just wanted to thank you for posting about soulbonding. I’ve had bonds for a while now, and they are /very/ close to me, but they weren’t kin, nor were they headmates, and facets didn’t feel like the right word either, so I ended up calling them brainmates. Everything you’ve described with soulbonds though, has hit my experience right on the nose. So, thank you, from the bottom of my, and my bonds, hearts

I’m so glad you found a term that rings true to your experience! Soulbonding is really a fascinating experience and a deep part of my…

if you’re fictionkin/fiction-hearted with a character, personally wise, you wouldn’t have to be exactly like them right? So, for example, say you’re fictionkin/fiction-hearted with a character who acts calmly about mostly everything and goes about things with ease, but you on the other hand act the opposite way. Could you still be fictionkin/fiction-hearted with them?

This deserves a longer answer, but to be frank, Ive touched on it many times before, and its late, and I’m going to bed in…

I was hoping you could clarify something for me. There’s this one character that I identify very strongly with and have since the moment I was introduced to him. We’re extremely similar, so much so that I would say our energies align, and that if there was a modern-day AU written about that character, he would probably be exactly like me. Is this fictionkin, or fiction-hearted?

Tough call. From what I’ve heard, this sounds a little like what psychological identified fictionkin experience. But that is not my area of expertise. From…

If a character arises that you know you may be kin to, is it normal to begin having the same interests as the character in question? Say, if the character speaks a different language or likes a certain genre of books, you find yourself also interested in learning how to speak the same language and read the same types of book, is that any indication that you might be kin or is it just subconscious faceclaiming?

Its more likely that having the same interested as a character *before* knowing of that character would be an indication that you were kin. Emulating…

i feel very kin to a world but i dont know what character im kin to in it. i feel ive narrowed it down to two possible people but i am stuck there and i dont know if im kin to them or if i just like them as characters because a part of me is telling me my feelings are something more but sometimes your mind can trick you. is there any way that i can figure out who i really am or do i just need to give it more time?

Depending on the world, you might not even be a specific character from it. You may just be a person from that ‘universe’ who lived a…
