Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me if fictionkin involves fictional species/characters of your own creation? For example, if you created a species, or character, and felt kin to it, would that be fictionkin or otherkin? So far I’ve mostly seen fictionkin being for pre-existing characters or species in media created by someone else. But otherkin also sometimes seems to be only for Earth animals and not fantasy-based creatures. Could you clear this up?

Kintypes that involve species of your own creation can be considered otherkin or fictionkin, depending on your presence and who you’re talking to. But otherkin…

I’m totally piggybacking off the other anon here but, is it wrong, while questioning or figuring things out, to preemptively call yourself (blank character or term) as a sort of “here try this on and see if this is really how you feel”? Or do you think maybe it’s best to wait for things to blow over n stuff?

Its totally fine to ‘test out’ a name or identity to see if that matches what you’re feeling. And don’t feel bad about letting people know…

Hello, Felix. I’m a bit confused about my identity as alterhuman. I’m spiritual, but I have a large number of kintypes. I genuinely believe that I have experienced all of those lives, but I worry that my bpd may have misled me, or may do so in the future. I am also unsure how to tell if a kintypes is truly a kintype, or if I’m a fictionflicker and just unaware of it. Sorry for bothering you, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey there anon. Your ask is no bother, and I hope I can help. I will be honest, I am not very familiar with BPD…

Hi! I have a question regarding memories. I’m pretty sure what I’ve been seeing are memories but sometimes they’re from 3rd person? I know it’s def me there and I know I’m me but it’s still like seeing myself from 3rd person pov. It confuses me a little. Is that still valid? Thank you!

Hi anon! Third-person memories are something some people experience whether they’re kin or not. A memory being in third person does not make it invalid.…

I was wondering if you could help me. I’ve experienced a phenomena for nearly as long as I can remember, where fictional characters manifest in a sort of ‘imaginary friend’ like state to me. I can see them and hear them as though they were a ‘real’ person beside me, and I’ve been calling this soulbonding, but I was wondering if you could suggest a better word for this experience?

Hi there anon! I’ve known a lot of different soulbonders over the years, all of whom have had unique ways of interacting with their bonds.…
