So I was told I have a connection to Vergil from Devil May Cry 3 and 4? I do take on his mannerisms from time to time and he’s my favorite character from video gaming. I also use the name Vergil as a nickname. I dont know if this means I am kin with him or if its a connection I’m not aware of?

No one can tell you who your kintypes are besides you. I honestly really frown on telling other people they ‘may’ have a connection to anyone.…

So, I’m worried I may be a fictionflicker. But I have memories of every single one of my kintypes. I have over 20 and I have solid memories for every single one.

Often when people are discovering that they are kin they feel an instinctive ‘that’s me’ tug with a character but don’t know how to explain it.…

so uh when i was little a lot of shitty stuff was happening to me. i didnt have any support at all so i basically completely projected myself into fictiona characters? i would call myself their name in my head/pretend i was them kinda? its hard to remember exactly what i did tbh but im a teenager+i still kinda do this and i was wondering could i call myself kin? ive never heard any stories abt someone trying to cope like i did so i feel kinda bad calling myself kin:/ sorry if this makes no sense

The word for what you were doing is ‘copinglink’, which is part of the alterhuman community (but a little different than kin). There’s nothing wrong with…
