you dont have to respond to this but coming from a fellow fictionkin stumbling across your recent posts has been like finding a font of sanity

Thank you so much for saying this, it means a lot to know I’m not just shouting at the wind.

i have strongly identified as a crowkin for pretty much as long as i can remember, however i recently got into reading homestuck, and the character davesprite stood out to me on a completely different level. not because i like him in particular, but more like i felt i WAS him. some of his actions/things he said were almost like they were jogging my memory, as if it had happened to me before. could i be a fictionkin or am i just deluding myself?

I think there’s a strong possibility that you’re fictionkin. Frankly the earlier crowkin feelings could easily relate more specifically to Davesprite than to crows in…

In my personal experience think it’s pretty normal to find your fictiotype physically attractive, especially if they’re presented in a way that appeals to your preference and aesthetic (e.g. drawn in a really appealing style). It doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t fictionkin, just that you process the attachment differently.

I agree that one certainly *can* be attracted to their fictionkinself, however the previous anon made it clear that they were more attracted to the…

i feel like im more attracted physically/sexually attracted to my fickin rather than i actually am them,, is that normal, or am i not fickin at all?

You’re not fickin. Unless you’re the world’s most narcissistic person. Being fictionkin/fickin is about feeling that that person IS you.

hiya!! im not sure if you can answer this but is being fictionkin a sin?? christianity-wise?? my religion is just as important to me as being comfortable in my own (s)kin. i just want to know bc im currently going through a period of self discovery and i just wanted to know if can be comfortable with myself and still be accepted(?) and “”pure””(?) as my religion puts it. sorry if you cant answer it but thanks for reading anyway!! :^)))

Well, I am not Christian, but, given that I went to catholic school, I feel that I actually have some hope of answering this. Though…

For about a year, I’ve been trying to figure out whether I am fictionkin of a character, or just too attached. I have a hard time believing in fictionkin, so that’s part of why I haven’t wanted to explore it more. Lately though, when I’ve seen pictures of places that remind me of Home, I’ve felt a longing so intense that it’s almost painful, and I don’t think I can deny it anymore. How do I come to terms with this?

Its hard. Its hard to believe that you’re fictionkin, and to come to terms with that. Its so much easier to just believe that you’re…

Do you feel there’s anything about the way Ken/the Digimon Kaiser was portrayed in canon that doesn’t accurately reflect the way you remember yourself being? I’m always interested in hearing about how these things differ with regard to canon/past life.

There are a few points where my own past differs from what was shown in the television show- some more interesting than others. I think…

hello! im trying to figure out if im fictionkin or not, because im all new to this. is there any real way to find out if youre fictionkin? im sorry if i worded this wrong,,

The only way to know if you are fictionkin or not is to know yourself. There is sadly no blood test, no list of traits…

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…

i think i might be fickin but ive never been kin before. i have a close friend who thinks fickin is completely ridiculous but shes helped me with a LOT and i dont want to lose her. i dont think she’ll necessarily drop me at the moment but sort of float away, you know? i dont wanna keep it in the dark, i wanna be able to express it…. what should i do? advice? D:

My advice to fictionkin, and otherkin in general is not to go around telling people about your identity ESPECIALLY before you are sure of yourself.…
