I notice you put a lot of emphasis on identifying AS your fictotype. Do I count as fictionkin if I believe I was my fictotype in a past life, but I don’t currently identify as them? My apologies as I’m sure you’ve been asked this before, but I went through a few pages of your blog and read some of your links and didn’t see anything specifically about this.

Absolutely. When I put the emphasis on ‘as’, what I mean is, that its a part of your identity, or your past. Part of your…

Recently I’ve started to think that I may be fictionkin; I’ve never really ‘believed’ in fictionkin, but I recently watched the anime Haikyuu!! and one character, Kenma, just stood out to me so much. They were onscreen for less than a minute and I felt overwhelming emotion towards them, like I /was/ them. The fact that this was strong enough for me to accept possibly being fictionkin means its serious, but I’m still uncomfortable. Do you know any ways to make the journey to acceptance smoother?

The journey to accepting yourself as fictionkin, is, like any other journey of acceptance, long, and hard. I would say, longer and harder than many…

Hey Ken! I’ve been thinking.. I’ve kind of accepted it by now, but… I think I’m Digimon kin, DMW1 leaning Digital Monsterkin. I always kind of see my kintypes as half separate from me, so it’s a bit weird though. I see it as, since every Digimon can be hatched as a fresh, or reduced to pure data, almost all Digimon can become almost all other Digimon, in theory. Does it make sense? I don’t know any other Digimon, so I don’t know if this would be strange.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, but its good to meet you ^^ Kin that hail from the Digital World in one…

hey, hi. I’m a non-binary thing in the world of tumblr and i don’t mean to be offensive, but are there any statistics or research about fictionkin/otakukin out there to see? i already looked through your info here, and i’m trying really hard to be open minded about this, but it’s extremely difficult for me to understand, since it involves worlds from peoples’ content and minds rather than religion or reality.

You have in fact, inspired me to make a proper survey.
