i’m questioning fictionkin at the moment; is it okay to know that if you were x character it was a long time ago and to be okay in your own body? i mean the character is a human so i’m not expecting dysphoria but like i don’t feel discomfort about being alive now it’s more just like since i found this character i’ve found part of me, like a lost memory? idk it’s all weird

Its absolutely okay, anon ^^ For some people body stuff is not as big of a deal as for other people. Some people experience heavy…

Is it possible to be kin with an irl person like markiplier ????? I see a lot of people saying theyre kin with someone from hamilton but a bunch of blogs count that as factkin and wont talk to them, is that ok?

In multiverse theory its possible yes. I guess in psychological kinity it could technically be possible too, however. Its also a really big fucking taboo,…

if i get a really sudden kin feeling, like all the confusing memories ive got have been cleared up and its hitting me really hard, am i still allowed to label myself as kin with the character just to test it out? or should i wait for a bit?

The typical term for this is “questioning”, anon. As in “I’m questioning Xkin”, until you’re more sure of yourself.

My former life had more personal import for me. This life is a learning experience so I agree I need to try as hard as I can with it but it certainly doesn’t have the same level of personal attachments. That also is the nature of this too large world

I totally feel you, anon. I’ve historically had a very hard time engaging with this world myself.

hey so i think in my canon i lost my right arm, and now i feel invalid and ableist because i’m able bodied in this life. help?

Hey anon, I lost my arm (and my eye) in canon too (and in my memories). What about it is making you feel invalid? Just…

sorry if this is a weird question. i’ve been having memories that have been slowly seeping in over the past few years. however, it never occurred to me that i could be kin because i attribute my memories to mental illness, not to the multiverse theory, even though they definitely feel real to me. is this what psychological kin is, or is that something else?

It sounds like it could fall within psychological kin to me, though I’m by no means an expert.

I very strongly resonate with a character, but I don’t really understand yet what it means to be kin with one or if the feelings I have can be counted as being kin. I don’t consider myself to BE said character in any different timeline or reality, but I do very much feel a deep connection to them. Would it be okay to ask for some advice?

Hey anon, I’m happy to help. Since you don’t consider yourself to BE this character, then the connection you’re looking to describe wouldn’t be called…

im pretty sure people want to id as a character as a coping mechanism without being called copinglink. can you not force the label onto them thanks

Copinglink is the term developed within the kin community to describe the experience of creating/assuming a fictional identity as a coping mechanism. There are lots…

What’s the difference between a kintype and a non-kin ID? There are people who will say “I’m literally x-character, it’s not a kintype, it’s LITERALLY ME!” but I don’t really see the difference? Maybe you can help shed some light on the subject? Thank you very much. UuU

The “literally me” people are generally in one of three camps meaning ‘literally me’ metaphorically as in “we share so many traits we might as well be…

What do you think of people who have a lot of kins, or “high polykin”? I’m talking some people who have like 20, 30, 40 fictionkins and find themselves unable to seperate from most of them. Are they taking things too far or just more spiritual?

Depends entirely on the person, and their attitude towards being kin and how they see themselves. Generally speaking the larger the number of kintypes someone…
