Hi, I’m not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I figured I’d give it a shot. I don’t personally identify as fictionkin, but I’ve recently gotten attached to this one character and it’s kinda weird… Like, I imagine them in my shoes sometimes when I’m out and about, and I act and think like them sometimes. Could I be fictionkin, or am I just overly infatuated with this character?

(Same anon who wants to know if I’m infatuated with a character or not) I forgot to mention, sometimes I also feel kinda like phantom…

Listen, I hate to sound mean, but if multiple people believe they are the same character, it debunks their claims. In addition to this, if you believe you are a character that was originally portrayed by an actor or actress, you’re wrong. You may seriously relate to them, but you can, in no way, be them. Again, sorry, but it’s true.

Point the first, you don’t sound mean, you sound smug and condescending. Point the second, even if you assume that there is only ONE version…

I’m new with the whole concept of fictionkin. From what I’ve learned I feel like a friend of mine is fictionkin. Since he is so spiritually connected with certain characters to the point you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Is that fictionkin or something else? I’m not entirely sure. :/

From the outside, that certainly sounds like fictionkin. It could be something else though, like fiction-hearted, or soulbonding. I’d recommend telling your friend that you…
