I’m sorry, I know this is in your faq but I still don’t understand it. What exactly is being kin? Is it thinking you’re related to a character? I thought otherkin for example is literally thinking you are that kind of animal, so I thought being kin with a character meant literally thinking you are that character? And what is the difference to “id” and “double” and that kind of stuff? This is so confusing

byfcringe: Kin means you HEAVILY connect to that character almost like you ARE the character or are related to the character. ID means you just…

this isnt specific to anyone but i feel like someone could hear this. to those who are questioning a kintype take your time learning to understand and figure yourself out!! months ago i would feel this attached weight on my shoulders, and i assumed it would be wings, vague phantom feeling emerging of wings. but a few months later i realized what it was! the weight of charging cables that plugged into my back. i was an android. take your time figuring stuff out. try not to assume!

Thanks for sharing, anon! Great advice.

Hey uh, this is the factkin anon. I usually handle missing someone by bringing them here as a soulbond, as I also have fictotypes. But uh… I’m in my factotype shift and I wouldn’t be at all comfortable having the person I miss in my system. But I miss him so bad it physically hurts, and I don’t know what to do about it. Inducing other shifts is difficult for me and I don’t trust my system members not to blab about why I’m upset if I have one front. They’re good people, I’m just a bit paranoid.

That sounds like a really complicated situation, anon. I’m not sure what advice to give you here. Missing people is really, really hard. But its…

Do you think there’s anything problematic about being ‘facthearted’, aka fictionhearted with an actual person? Like, I don’t feel that I’m currently/ever was him, but he does seem like an ideal version of me, like who I’d be if I had total freedom of expression, you know? Or maybe there’s a different term for that which I’m not aware of?

I don’t know if there’s a specific word for it (facthearted seems fine?), but honestly there is nothing wrong with seeing a celebrity and feeling…

We get discouraged by canon call blogs…. We are a system of fictives who would love to find our canon mates, but the body is 26, and a lot of the call blogs are minors. We would never discourage anyone from saying “no one over 18”, in fact we think that’s probably a good idea for minors! But it makes us feel like we won’t ever find our “people” and makes us feel like…. Like she’s too old to still be like this…. Can you help us? We feel so completely alone, and sometimes incredibly fake…

I know the feeling, anon. I’m 30 and that shuts me out of a lot of canon call blogs too. Being older doesn’t make you…

i think i feel wings on my back, but i’m not sure if it’s just me wishing for them. it feels like this heavy sort of shapeless ‘presence’ on my back, and i always want to reach back because it feels as though i could touch them (obviously, they’re never there). does this sound like astral limbs?

This does sound like at least the beginning of astral limbs, anon. However, if could also be ‘normal’ back pain. if you have a large chest…
