i have strongly identified as a crowkin for pretty much as long as i can remember, however i recently got into reading homestuck, and the character davesprite stood out to me on a completely different level. not because i like him in particular, but more like i felt i WAS him. some of his actions/things he said were almost like they were jogging my memory, as if it had happened to me before. could i be a fictionkin or am i just deluding myself?
