I only heard of fictionkin a day ago but I cant stop thinking about it. Theres a character in a show I watch that I connect with on a personal level so much so its almost scary. I don’t think I am or ever was this person but identifying with/as them makes me feel so comfortable and validated. Is this fictionkin or is it just something entirely different? It might be worth adding that I have a dissociation disorder and I’m worried this is just a coping mechanism that my mind made up. Thanks!

My friend is fictionkin and from what I know she identifies with multiple different characters due to personality, and she goes through these things called kinshifts where I’d say her personality shifts a little to a different character just depending on how she feels. I don’t know much. But I’ve been interested in it and I don’t really have a spiritual connection with characters but is it fictionkin to identify to give a sense of identity to yourself and give a peace of mind?

HI anon 🙂 As you’ve noticed Kinshifts are when your personality and perception of yourself changes a little to match whatever kintype is active during…

This isn’t exactly fictionkin related but uh. How would one “channel” a character and mentally swap with them, for example to harness their strengths or something? To take on their identity for a while? What would that be called or like, do you know where I could start searching for information?

That’s called copinglink if you want to draw strength from and ‘become’ the character. Check tumblr #copinglink for more information Or if you want the character…

So why would someone choose a copinglink?

Some people chose to be copinglink because trauma or mental illness causes them to want to disassociate themselves from their human/normal identity. For these people…

What if u choose to id as a character, but then after lotsa research and introspection, it turns out that you’re actually kin??

I’m sure that happens sometimes. Likely one would have chosen to ID as the character because unconsciously they ‘knew’ that it was them.

so uh when i was little a lot of shitty stuff was happening to me. i didnt have any support at all so i basically completely projected myself into fictiona characters? i would call myself their name in my head/pretend i was them kinda? its hard to remember exactly what i did tbh but im a teenager+i still kinda do this and i was wondering could i call myself kin? ive never heard any stories abt someone trying to cope like i did so i feel kinda bad calling myself kin:/ sorry if this makes no sense

The word for what you were doing is ‘copinglink’, which is part of the alterhuman community (but a little different than kin). There’s nothing wrong with…

I was wondering, are there any blogs that so kin calls that allow psychological kin and copinglinkers, as well? I want to talk to some people who would be okay with me letting my kin out and chatting with them, but since I don’t have exactly the same experience as most kin, even though I fully respect spiritual kin and don’t think they’re invalid, that I’ll be scolded because I’m not spiritual enough, or because I RP my kintype (partly because that’s the only way I can let him out). Any advice?

You’re certainly welcome to share your views and such on this blog, anon. Other than that, I don’t know of any particular blogs. Chime in/reblog…

Do you know if it’s possible for copinglinks to experience astral, mental, and phantom shifts or is that strictly a kin thing?

Copinglinks can definitely experience mental and phantom shifts! Some may be able to experience astral shifts depending on their spiritual beliefs. ^^

I’ve heard the term Aeslink or Aestheticlink for people who identify with purely surface level characteristics of a character (ie their clothes, their mannerisms, essentially their “aesthetic”) Is this an okay term to use?

That sounds like a fine term to use, anon!
