help me cope with mental illness by giving me more of a sense of self and something to relate to, even if i didn’t choose them. do you think that’s possible?

Many, many reincarnated/spiritual kin rely on aspects of their kinself for comfort and strength. Drawing on your identity as kin to help you cope with…

two of my mutuals that i considered friends are against white people IDing outside their race (one being a poc that regularly asks others to suggest them new kintypes and the other being a white person) and it makes me excruciatingly paranoid and afraid to the point i made a separate fickin blog to talk about my kins, but i really want to figure out a way to either dissuade them from the racism notion or at least ease my anxiety, do you have any suggestions?

You could tell them that its almost certain that the concept of ‘not IDing outside your race’ was thought up by someone white pretending to be…

Hey, just popping in to comment on your ask about kin shifts. The term actually isn’t new at all. It’s been a therian term almost since the therian community began. It’s been adopted by other communities since there are similar experiences and a lack of terminology for them.

You’re very right. The term is only new as applied to fictionkin specifically.

When you are fictionkin you literally think you are that person correct? So what happens when two people meet and are the same fictionkin?

The two of you both spontaneously explode as the time-space continuum attempts to correct itself. Just kidding! Nothing happens, because there are doubles of everyone…

Hey, just curious. Have you ever shifted as your kinselves (Phantom/Mental, etc), and if so, what did it feel like?

I do occasionally experience kin shifts, although until recently, I wasn’t exactly aware that that was what I was experiencing. The term is fairly new,…

what’s your opinion on the otherkin on reddit? I personally haven’t interacted with otherkin there and am curious if theyre better than tumblr.

I’m a redditor, but I don’t generally interact with the kin community there. From what I’ve seen, it is small, traditional, slow moving, and mostly…

there are certain characters and things i feel really strongly about and associate myself with, but i dont feel like these things are directly “me” or that they’re apart of me or are me etc, is there a word for this? would that just be stuff i really like? i feel kind of weird about saying its just stuff i like a lot, its more then that i think.

The word you’re looking for might be synpath.

in your about it says that your kin origin is kin through reincarnation, but i was wondering if there was any other way to be kin?

People debate the ‘right’ way to be kin, and if there is such a thing. I don’t know the answer to that any more than anyone…

I’m fictionkin (with Countess Elizabeth from ahs) and is it valid if my memories showed my canon ending differently?? Could it be possible that I am kin with her just from an alternate universe to my canon???

Absolutely valid. Almost no kin has memories that are 100% exactly like their source material, because almost everybody is from an AU of some kind.…

(part 1) The otherkin community has interested me for a long time and I admit that in the beginning I did not understand it and had some less than nice thoughts about it simply because of that, but now I’ve read up on it, especially here on your blog, and I have found that I can relate? A lot? This is all very confusing to me, but I think several experiences I haven’t understood earlier might be signs that I’m fictionkin. I have identified with a character for a long time and I thought that

(Part 2) it was only to the level everyone gets, but after reading your posts I’m starting to see that might not be it. I…
