i am so damn confused. i’ve spent two years now thinking that i might be fictionkin, but i can’t come to definite answer. i’ve tended to push away any feelings (or memories???) of my kin that i have, because i don’t know what the hell to do with them. but they always come back, with bigger force. i have no idea if i AM fictionkin, or fictionhearted, or some other term that I don’t even know yet because there are so many to learn. i don’t even know why i sent this ask. im just so confused.

If you have to push away these feelings and they keep coming back, that’s a good indication that you may be kin, or have a…

So I’m a little confused. I have characters and animals/creatures who are not Soulbonds or Kin but who do mean a great deal to me. However their backgrounds/lives have little to no similarity to my own. Does this still make me Fiction-/Otherhearted and they my Synpaths, or is this just Feels and [whatever the acceptable term is for a white person’s spiritual animal guide, if there is one]?

You don’t have to have the same traits as someone/something to be other/fictionhearted with them. I’m not sure whether they’d count as synpaths or not,…

Different anon. The realmultipleadvice, by their own stance, doesn’t respect kin though. They deny it exists, which is fine there will be a difference in beliefs, but then they also say that it’s incredibly unhealthy to be kin even as a coping method. Which is insulting to the belief system and a major issue kin would have with the people running that blog.

That’s fair, and I can see where you are coming from with that stance. I’ll admit I find their position somewhat ironic, given that they…

Out of curiosity, are you okay with regular not-nounself neopronouns? You know, the ones that actually follow the rules of English? I was just curious because I read your about and it said you don’t like “nounself neopronouns,” and I got confused. In any case, your blog is fantastic and I think you’re awesome and intelligent. Thanks! -a curious dragon

The pronouns I’m comfortable using for people for now, are he, she, and singular ‘they’. I think its important for our language to have a pronoun…

is it a common thing to get memories and stuff from fanworks? like, fanfiction and things like that. i read a fic for one of my fickintypes recently and it felt like i was hit with a serious case of deja vu, like i was reading a description of something that happened to me, but this only happened once i’d gotten to a certain part of the fic

Fanworks can definitely trigger memories and feelings, especially if they capture something that was meaningful to you. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re kin specifically…

1/2 I very conflicted. I’ve been doubting this entire identity lately. When I battle my doubts, am I just denying the truth? Do I fabricate my kinfeels and memories to fit into this identity? Am I just using to cope, to fill the empty void in my identity depression left there? Am I just doing this to belong, because I don’t belong anywhere else? Then there’s a whole other series of “what-ifs.” I want to say I’m being too hard on myself, that this is truly where my heart lies and I have figured

2/3 myself out.But I also want to say I’m deluded and crazy, that this is just a fun game my brain put together for me,…
