Is it possible to have two different canons? Bc I have a lot of memories of this character but some of them don’t/can’t fit into the same timeline as the others

Its definitely possible there’s a reason you’re remembering more than one timeline for the same kintype, but its also possible that you’re mixing up memories…

So as a trans Fictionkin Is it abnormal to want to change all of me to look like my Fictionkin?

Not really! I think all of us as kin go through longer or shorter periods of wanting to modify our appearance to more resemble our…

If something truly is a kintype then it’d feel impossible to drop right? I tried dropping mine but it hurt so much and felt impossible to do so bc I knew it was me, I guess what I’m looking for is comfort in that

Absolutely, a kintype is something you can’t just drop at will.

Is it okay/reasonable to kin a character that speaks a different language?

Can you articulate why it wouldn’t be?

I only heard of fictionkin a day ago but I cant stop thinking about it. Theres a character in a show I watch that I connect with on a personal level so much so its almost scary. I don’t think I am or ever was this person but identifying with/as them makes me feel so comfortable and validated. Is this fictionkin or is it just something entirely different? It might be worth adding that I have a dissociation disorder and I’m worried this is just a coping mechanism that my mind made up. Thanks!

“I don’t think I am or ever was this person but identifying with/as them makes me feel so comfortable and validated” Hey friend! The…

Totally normal.

I have a bit of a confusion crisis: I’m falling in love with lotr and I feel like I am (or maybe just identify with) Legolas but I’m also super gay for him?? Like is it possible to be kin with/ID as someone and be super attracted to them at the same time?

Let me ask you a question. Is Legolas gay for himself?

I figured somebody who has been in the ‘kin community’ for so long would be the perfect person to ask about this! I understand that everyone’s experience is different, but how do you know if you’re kin…? For example, I feel a very strong and personal bond/relation towards Achilles (Greek mythology) and saying I simply enjoy his stories or that he’s my favorite seems like a major understatement. This is also the case with a few other characters.. could I be fiction-kin? Sorry if this is stupid!

Not stupid questions! Here’s some info that should help you. http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/Experience http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/howtoknow

hey i have a few fictionkin q’s. are all memories coherent? are all memories painful? when you have a memory do you know right away, or is it normal to have vague memories?

Most memories are far from coherent. In order, or even fragmentary visual recall is probably what we think of most intuitively as ‘memories’ but those are…

Is it reasonable to be kin but not associate with other fictionkin? I recently figured out I’m kin after a few months of questioning and while being in this community I just really don’t like it. There’s so much arrogance, negativity, and grilling of others. The one place I thought I could express myself and share experiences I don’t even feel safe in. This isn’t directed at you just the fictionkind community in general. Sorry this turned into a vent. I’m just tired of having no where to go

I know the feeling, and its perfectly okay not to want to associate or interact in an environment or with people you don’t feel comfortable…
