I think I found someone from my canon (fictionkin)…but they’re a minor, 6 yrs younger, and I’m a legal adult. I feel so creepy and disappointed about it bc I think they’re my mate. What should I do…? I don’t want to get into a bad situation.

I’m going to assume this is someone you’ve found or met online, and not someone you know in person. You don’t mention how old they…

male-tear appears to be a troll blog pretending to be snowkin in the tags. they’re reblogging other things to make it look like the blog’s legitimate, but considering they’re threatening to report you if you follow and you’re cis, white or skinny… yeah.

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like its a good idea to block @male-tear

hi felix! i just wanted to say: thank you so much. seriously. i was questioning kin for a while, and in that time this blog was a HUGE help to me, both in first understanding kin, and finding references for my own experiences. you were really helpful and reassuring in all the (usually nervous and psuedo-panicked) asks i sent you, and even now it still means a lot to me? i’ve since affirmed my own kin identity and i just wanted to say thanks for all your help. so thank you!!

Thanks for this message anon. 🙂 I’m really happy I could help in my won small way as you move through your journey as kin,…

hi- just a question about being fictionkin.. I think I might be kin with ichimatsu from osomatsu-san, but I’m really not sure. I can relate to him 100%, I feel attached to him, and just generally feel like he’s apart of him, but I do know that I’m my own person.. but the character himself feels like he’s apart of me- am I kin or am I just too attached to a fictional character ??

Could be either one. Only you can tell. Make sure to take time to examine the identity– it can take months or years to really…

I feel like I might be kin with a character but I’m really not sure. I mean the “signs” and stuff are all there and stronger than the last character. But theyre from the same show I dont think I can do that, or was I mistaken with the last one?! Im really distressed about this!

Depends on your theory of origin. Could be two souls rolled into one. Could be your mind is similar to both of them. Could be…

How can you tell if you are hearted rather than kin?

I don’t have a reliable method for this. I would potentially say that lack of typical kin experiences, while still feeling like you are that…

In 2004, a boy became obsessed with WoW. He wrote an 80,000 word “in-character” journal from the perspective of his character. He soon became overwhelmed with grief that he couldn’t be with the characters in the game, then committed suicide to “be with them”. Do you think he was fictionkin? Or that if the fictionkin community had existed back then, he might’ve had an outlet for his feelings and avoided suicide?

Hi there anon. First of all, the boy in question, Zhang Xiaoyi was a 13 year old Chinese native, and the game he was addicted…

What do you think of kin who unconsciously “create” an identity? Would they be counted as psychological kin?

People who call themselves kin who believe that they unconsciously ‘created’ their identity would be kin, yes.
