I don’t identify as FictionKin and I don’t ever want to, thing is, I’m literally just on the edge of it. I’m in love with this character, thing is, I’m not them. And I know I’m not them. I was wondering if there might be a kin for that. It’s sorta like, I would be them if I could, like if I got a wish, my first thing would be ‘make me him’, without even thinking twice. But I know im not him, ya know, and I don identify as him, but I WOULD if I COULD. Would I have to make my own kin for that or??

The word you’re looking for is either fiction-hearted, or fictionheir. They both mean exactly the same thing: which is exactly what you’re descirbing. 

That was a great response to the “choosing to identify as fictionkin vs. spiritually awakening as fictionkin” issue. I’m really grateful that you defined the two separately without deciding that one was less valid than the other. I hope the idea of ‘fictionheir’ catches on in the community–I honestly feel like it would suit a lot of the new ‘kin on tumblr better than the fictionkin label.

Thank you very much! I hope that it catches on too. I really think that people that fall under that category as I’ve defined it…
