“partially as” anon: what is a hearttype? I’ve never heard that before. With me it’s a persistent feeling that I’m nonhuman (currently going with fey but not 100% sold) that’s been around for a long time, but it comes and goes so I don’t really relate to a lot of people who say that they feel like they’re currently not human and they’re really a fairy wandering around in the human world.

The logic in those posts is completely non-existent, anon, and you can feel free to ignore them. The very basis of being kin is about…

Hello, I never used to pay other/fiction kin much mind, I wasn’t an asshole and I respected them but idk I never really got it, until I realized I may be fiction kin. I was watching a show and this particular character just seemed to call to me almost and we are scarily similar, do you think I may be kin?

Hey anon. Its entirely possible you’re fictionkin. Take a look at this post for more info. http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/145245227122/what-are-some-ways-you-can-identify-a-kin-type
