is it normal to get kin memories that are like “flashbacks”? (I don’t know how else to call them, but sometimes seeing or thinking certain things will trigger kin memories to just happen, like a flashback, but idk if im allowed to use that word)

This is a perfectly normal way to experience kin memories. And “flashback” is a perfectly acceptable term to use. Its not a medical term or…

So when I first realized I was kin of a certain character myself and the character were nothing alike but as the source went on and his character was fleshed out more I started to notice more similarities as if his personality was evolving into mine. It was odd but comforting. I was wondering if anyone else has any similar experiences?

Hey anon. Interesting experience. That doesn’t sound too far fetched to me, honestly. I’d imagine other people have had similar experiences.

I discovered I could be a kintype. But..I’m not really sure with it. All “memories “.I have feeling that they are just created in my head. That they aren’t any kin-memories but just my imagination… How can I know that they are memories or not?

Hey anon. Firstly its “have” a kintype, or “be” fictionkin, just to clear it up! Not a big deal though! As for how to figure out if…

well, i have a question. there’s one character i feel really close to, i don’t have any memories tho. i don’t feel like i’m emulating them in purpose (looked at fictionhearted, nor do i feel the need to. really feels like me, but somehow also not? or not anymore? i’m confused. i don’t exactly miss anyone, but it somehow also feels right. well, as much as it can, me being kin to the original canon of the character. (the character i’m talking about is an au version) is there something for this??

I can’t tell you what your feelings mean, I’m afraid, anon. You’ll have to take time and do more introspection. To me it sounds like…

ive been looking around but i cant seem to find any information on it, is there a form of fictionkin where its not like an alternate reality or any memories, but given the same situation as a character you wouldve been exactly like them? ive been relating a lot to a few characters and im questioning if thats kin or just relating way more than average. (sorry if this is phrased weird)

I’m not sure. This sounds a little like a synpath or a hearttype to me? What do my followers think?

Are factkin/factives real or not? If not, why is it such an established concept in the kin community and why would someone think they’re factkin? If they are real, then why does the community hate them so much?

Factkin are potentially real. That is, there is no reason why they couldn’t really exist. However, generally speaking claiming to be another living person is…

What do you think of otherkin help/aesthetic/whatever using your information? Not like stealing or reblogging, just using it for their own person guide through being otherkin.

I share all of my personal experiences so that others can learn from them and compare them to their own personal experiences. I think that…

more kin age tag updates

Right now the tags we are looking at are: #minorkin: for posts intended to be seen by any kin under 18#adultkin: for posts intended to…

i know its really specific, but would a 17+ tag be useful? I know a lot of people who are 16 and extremely toxic to 17 year olds who are turning 18 because theyre “turning into a yucky adult”

what we really need is #notshittyimmaturetoxickin tag but I feel like that’s asking a lot.

I was actually considering making a 16+ only kin network, since just about everyone younger than that on this site is toxic as fuck (in my unfortunate experience)

I’m sorry that you had this experience, and that its not unusual either.
