The Persona 5 game just got a release date, and with the new trailer I feel a little too much like they just put me in it with one of the characters revealed. I went through this with P4 and found out I soulbonded one of the characters and wasn’t actually kin (I was like super panicked about it for a while). Now I’m just like, ho-hum please don’t do this. Idk. Just wanted to share I guess, bc I don’t ever talk kin or soulbonds on tumblr. It’s just frustraing at this point. You ever deal w this?

Oh yeah, anon. I hear you. Sometimes I see a glimpse of something, in a trailer, or a list on youtube or something and I;m…

I saw a term recently that I thought would be helpful for the community as a whole. For characters that you relate to intensely/exemplify your personality and aesthetic in this life but are not kin with I have seem people call them Aesthetic Characters. It’s different from Comfort Characters in that while comfort characters bring comfort these characters are just kind of like pointing and going “same!”

That sounds like an awesome term. Thanks, anon!

Is it normal/common to be shifted nearly every day? I had a short mental shift yesterday and a longer phantom shift today into my fictotype, and most days I feel phantom body parts (but usually it’s cat-like ears or bird-like wings (but not both) that I feel, which are not a part of any kintype I know of, I only know of one so far). I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask, so sorry if it isn’t. Thanks in advance ~N.

Asking whats normal or not in the alterhuman community is a mixed bag. In my *personal* experience, I tend to shift a lot, and more…

This might be beyond your ability to answer, but do you have any advice for ‘kin who suffer with delusions? I don’t feel my kinness is inherently a delusion, but I do feel at times my experiences with it contribute to an inability to differentiate between fiction/reality. My grasp on reality can be fragile when I get into bad states, and I’m not sure how to keep infalsifiable memories and emotions from triggering a reality break.

I’m really sorry anon, I’m really ill equipped to give you advice about delusions and separating them from non-delusional internal experiences. Speaking from personal experience…

I’m kin with a character from a folktale. Would I qualify as fictionkin? I can’t find any evidence that the events happened in this world, so I assume it happened on another Earth and since it’s been written down and published, I feel like I qualify. On the other hand I’ve seen people use the term immortalkin and I was immortal for a while. (It’s complicated; Death eventually let me die after a while.) What’s the correct term for someone in my situation?

People use lots of little words to boil down their kin experience. Just because someone says they’re immortalkin doesn’t make them not otherkin. Think of…
