so uh a few days ago i think i awakened as an Elsen from OFF and it explains SO much about myself, but the thing is it also means that a huge chunk of my “personality” was just a front so people didn’t see my (extremely dull and persuadable) inner self, and now i’m flipping back and forth between denial and acceptance because on one hand i feel so -right- accepting it but on the other this will offput a lot of people because i’ve been acting as “the outgoing eccentric” for a decade. advice?

I feel conflicted in the advice I should give you, my friend, so I’m afraid I may not be as helpful as you might wish.…

I think I might be Fictionkin. I never really truly understood what fictionkin was until people began to ask me if I was fictionkin with the character I now believe I am, and I researched it. It makes me kinda uneasy, because I’ve talked about fictionkin with friends and I know they dont think its a thing so I’m getting nervous about it. Part of me hopes I’m just going through a lil bit of a phase but I think I’ve always identified with the character,,, I dunno… I’m confused.

Discovering that you’re fictionkin can be a scary and confusing thing, especially when your local friends don’t understand or believe you. My advice for now…

I’m fictionkin for a race called genomes from ff9 like idk how to explain it but theres an incredibly deep connection it’s been there for 3 years and i could never explain it and why i felt so at… home playing ff9 and i’m honestly wondering if thats normal?? i mean i can’t really specify a character but theres something there tho the one i feel closest to is also of that race maybe we knew each other..? idk it’s very confusing i’m sorry ;;;

It is absolutely normal to associate as a member of a fictional race, rather than as a specific character. This happens a lot to pokekin…

hi! i’m a polykin and i’ve been pretty okay and comfortable with all of my kintypes. recently though, i’ve had a really strong connection to sephiroth from final fantasy 7 that feels a lot like a kin connection. i don’t identify as any other ‘evil’ characters and i’m worried. i’m not exactly sure what about but there’s this sense of dread that kinda comes along with seeing all the misery he caused and also going “that’s me, i did that.” i just don’t know what to do about this tbh

Funnily enough historically a lot of kin have connections to a Sephiroth. There used to a thread on livejournal about how just about every fictionkin/person…
