I’ve been doing some research for an upcoming article about the history and origin of fictionkin and otherkin, and I thought I’d share some of…

so…why do you hate mentally ill fickin enough to reblog such a nasty post?

I don’t hate anyone. Especially not mentally ill people. My mother has struggled with bipolar 2 for 30 years, both with, and without medication, and…

So.. I have this character. He’s an original character, not from any universe. I made him 7 years ago, and honestly he feels really close to my heart. Our personalities/looks/etc aren’t alike at all, but.. he’s so familiar. When I write him, it’s like I’m writing something that I could have tangibly experienced. SOmetimes I’ll have experiences and I’ll flash to thoughts of him. Could it be possible I subconsciously brought out a past life that could be considered fictionkin?

That is absolutely possible. I have say before, and I have said again, authors CAN be kin with their own characters. Honestly, its oceans more…

I went through an awakening and I have several memories from my canon, so in my mind my kintype is pretty well cemented. But I feel like I see much more of “myself” in another character from another fandom, if that makes sense. They’re so much more like me than the character whose memories I have. Is this common? It feels weird and I feel out of place identifying as the character I awakened as, knowing there’s another one out there who seems much more like me.

It can be hard to understand and accept, but your kintype isn’t always the person who has the most in common with who you are…

i want to be a good friend to my fictionkin friends, but thinking about multiverses and things messes with my sense of reality to the point of nausea, so i just don’t talk to them about their kin stuff ever… :/ i’ve been trying to research it but i can’t do it for too long at once because i get so uncomfortable. can i still be a good friend if i say nothing?

You absolutely can. There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable in this matter. You’re clearly a good friend, and you’ve made an effort to…

Have you ever experienced an energetic shapeshift with regard to your kintype? I know this is common for therians/otherkin, but how about fictionkin? Pretty sure I shifted into the fiction kintype tonight, but my kintype also isn’t human, so it was pretty noticeable. I’m curious about the shifting experiences of human-based ‘kin. If you’ve shifted, is it harder to discern because your other self was human too?

This is not something that I typically experience. I have had a few moments in my life where I seemed to ‘regress’ to my earlier identity…

Hey about that “do you honor the authors of canon” or whatever post: My friend pointed out that it’s possible that the “author” may actually have been part of that universe in a past life, and remembered parts of it.

This is absolutely possible. The author of a work might well be kin from the universe they are writing from. However, many writers feel insulted…

My fandom is very intolerant of fictionkin. Some of them have called us plagiarists and pretending to have DID and showing disrespect for the author. This really hurts because I can never come out and I actually have a HUGE respect for the author. The fandom is mostly roleplay blogs so it’s really hypocritical and it sucks.

Roleplay is roleplay, and fictionkin is fictionkin. The RPers are not being hypocritical by being annoyed that their game is interrupted by kin. If these…

Hi so I have two questions if you don’t mind! Is it normal to have be fickin and also have fictives? Also, is it considered.. weird/etc for all your kin/fictives to come from just one place? I’ve only recently started coming to terms with being fickin and I’ve suddenly met with two fictives as well, and my 3 kin and fictives all ‘originate’ from one work of fiction. I hope I worded that understandably and thanks :)

Your question was worded just fine. 🙂 It is absolutely common (I won’t say ‘normal’) to be a fictionkin who has headmates, whether they are fictive…

I’ve started wondering lately if I’m kin- at first when I saw the character I was like, “that’s me- mannerisms, personality, I feel like I know exactly how they feel” and over the past couple months it’s evolved. When I see them I can’t help but identify with them on an emotional level and the “that’s me” feels like “that’s me, that’s me in maybe the right body or a different universe, not sure yet”. I feel silly getting protective sometimes because they feel like an extension of myself..?

That sounds like fictionkin to me. Congratulations on the beginning of yoru awakening. It will be a long journey, but one that will lead to…
