hi!! i have just recently figured out im fictionkin, so im a lil new, but im a bit confused. i feel like i have a strong connection to multiple characters, and i say “thats me!” whenever i see any of them. ive heard this is called polykin, but im not so sure.

That does sound like polykin to me. I would do a lot of thought and meditation on the matter, but it is *possible* that you…

What’s the difference between fickin and fictionkin? I’m not sure honestly.

I have no idea. I’m pretty sure fickin is just a shortening of fictionkin. But there may be some people who assert that they mean…

okay so im aro/ace, and sex-repulsed, and physically unable to read smut fics of my one kintype! i am pretty sure im kin to another character, but with them im perfectly able to read smut fics. if i was sexually attracted to another character from that series, would i then be considered greyace, or still ace?

This is way above my pay grade. Your sexual identity is determined by you, and only you.

Sorry if this is something you’ve answered a thousand times; I couldn’t see this specifically in the “FAQ” (at least not at first glance so ignore me or point me in the right way if I missed it). Out of curiosity, do you believe that someone who is fictionkin – not as a coping mechanism, because I see this commonly with coping kin to have multiple kintypes – can be kin to multiple characters?

Absolutely! This needs to go in the FAQ when I update it.

is it weird to rp as my kintype? Does that make me less them if I want to rp as them? Am I not fully understanding my identity?

I’ve Rped as my kintype before, although that was six or seven years ago now. I thought it might help me feel more ‘in tune’ with…

To clarify, I think that the exploration of being fictionkin can start as a result of coping. But once you’ve fully explored yourself to a…

can being kin be used as a kind of support for anxiety/stress/depression? Sorry if this is rude in any way, I’m really new to this ;;

ectoslimers: fromfiction: You can use a character’s strength as a way to support you mentally, but this is not what being fictionkin is. I would…

Do you have any theories on why people who claim to be fictionkin on Tumblr all seem to conform to a very predictable behavior type? I’ve identified as fictionkin since long before joining Tumblr, and I find that I can’t relate at all to any of the ones I meet here because of the way they behave.

My theory is that various fictionkin on tumblr are in one or more of the following categories: a) Young and immature and will grow up…

poly-fictionkin anon here! I mainly see two types, people who identify as two characters in the same canon. (As in the same person being both Shinji Ikari AND Kaworu Nagisa from NGE) And, I also see people being kin with multiple characters from different canons. (So one person being, Shinji Ikari, Steven Universe, and Miku Hatsune). What are your opinions on those two types?

My basic opinion is that every identity someone has should be given equal weight and scrutiny by both themselves, and others. I believe each identity…

This depends entirely on your feelings. First of all, knowing your pet, how do you think it would have felt, knowing you made a tulpa…
