is it normal to have kinfeels that you dont notice over the months/years, yet suddenly when seeing the actual source material it hits so hard that you end up extremely freaked out and depressed over what happened and you cant stop crying and getting so painfully emotional over sudden flashbacks of memories, knowing that what youve felt all along finally has meaning, and having this all happen within 48 hours? can i still say im them?

I can’t tell you whether you’re kin or not, but what you describe is pretty much what happened to my fiancee when she first saw…

tbh i cant tell if im fictionkin or copinglink. i dont get memories or homesickness but i get really strong emotions n stuff. but after reading about fictionkin (i knew what otherkin was so i tried seeing if there was a “fictional character eqivilant”) i thought “wow thats way more involved than i am” in that i dont really get memories and i dont really think it’s spiritual. n with all the c’link stuff going around i was like “i guess that makes sense” but i started evaluating it and well (1/2)

(2/2) well i’m starting to think that maybe i was fictionkin all along anyway, and i’m just dwelling too much on things. im not good…

I kind of feel like one of the only kin that doesn’t miss my homeworld. My homeworld was shit. This world is, by far, a better place to live, and I’m grateful to be here instead of still there. I do miss the people from my old life, though, and that by far hurts more than anything else.

Sometimes the worlds we came from were crap, anon. I’m sure you’re not the only kin who came from a dystopia or just a nasty…

if i believe i’m copingkin (but not in the copinglink way, i don’t control this), would it be considered weird if i experienced memories? I consider them memories that my mind falsified, but i’m wondering if thi is normal.

Psychological kin (kin that don’t believe they have a spiritual origin for their kintype) still can experience memories, they just believe that they were created…

ah, okay! apologies for my accusations. i guess it is pretty easy to get defensive about this sort of thing.

Apology accepted and nothing to worry about, anon. Tone comes through poorly on the internet, and tumblr in particular is *terrible* about retaining context for…

i guess the main thing is that it kind of hurts, here i am thinking that i’ve found a really good and informative blog about something that plays a pretty big role in my life, basically giving the vibe that because i have tiers of kintypes, that i’m less valid than those who dont. and man, it is really disappointing

I never said you were less valid. Also, I despise ‘validity’ as a concept. The original question I was asked was ‘ When looking at someone’s…

in a sense, it is. though there’s also, for me, levels of how connected i feel to the kintype. like facts are facts and i know that im kin with specific characters because i have the memories.. but sometimes i dont want to be or i dont feel like i’ve retained much of my old selves/self whatever (grammer is confusing) in this life. it’s really hard to explain because not everyone who has kintypes will feel this way but for some of us, not all kintypes are equal, and we are valid

And that’s a fair way to feel, anon, and a fair way to categorize things for yourself. Like I said, I don’t actually have anything…

as someone who has “primary/secondary” kintypes, for me it’s like… sometimes i’m not sure if i’m kin with a character or not. or sometimes i have less memories and it makes me unsure. this is what define primary/secondary for me: how close i am to figuring out beyond any sort of doubt whether or not i am kin with a character

This makes sense to me but tells me that only your primary kintypes are your actual confirmed kintypes and everything else is just things that…

Imo groups of things are easier to look at and process rather than long lists but now im wondering if i should ungroup mine? I want to be taken seriously and if grouping them will work against that then…

Hey anon, don’t let my grumping negatively effect how you conceptualize and process your kintype stuff. Like I said, its not really a big deal…

When looking at someone’s kintypes, how many types can you get through before being suspicious of their amount?

I’ll be honest, anon, ‘grouping’ kintypes (primary/secondary/etc) makes me more suspicious than any length of undifferentiated list. But seriously, I try to judge everyone individually, anon.…
