You probably get a lot of asks so I understand if you don’t get around to answer this one but first I’d like to tell you that I really love your blog! It’s informative and you’re always polite and yeah… and then I’d like to ask you for advice. There’s this game I know since I was a really small child and for all my life since I first saw it I felt like it was home, just even when I hadn’t played it myself yet I often found myself thinkin “I want to go back there, I want to meet them again” P.1

p.2 like… I just feel so strongly about the whole word and the characters/people in it, I still cry from the overwhelming feelings once I…

I have experience with that Kin by Extension other anon talked about. Like, I’m kin with Bipper from Gravity Falls. In the show Bipper was just Bill in Dipper’s body. But in my canon what happened was Dipper’s consciousness wasn’t pushed out, and —

– him and Bill’s consciousness fused and Bipper became his own person. Does that make sense? Absolutely makes sense, anon!

whats the definition for -hearted? some say it means choosing to identify as [x] but others use it like having a synpath where it means just a strong connection or relating to it. i think it would be more useful to have it mean choosing to id, since synpath works fine for the other definition

I agree with you, somewhat, but I’ll let others come forward and give their definitions of fiction-hearted vs synpath for you. I’m not the clearest…

I believe in something called “Kin by Extension”, this basically means that you are Kin with something but not directly. Examples of this could be alternate forms (Luna and Nightmare Moon) or Fusions (Pearl and Amethyst). Would you say that this is a “valid” belief?

Never heard of it. But if you’re kin of someone that has multiple elements to their self, like a fusion, then yes, you are probably…

Do all fictionkin experience trauma or pain associated with thier canon? And does it make them invalid if they don’t?

Nothing is a hard and fast rule. I experience a lot of pain and trauma associated with my canons because they involve memories and experiences…

Does every fictionkin have to have memories that later happen the showseriesetc?

Not every fictionkin has memories/has to have memories at all. I talk about memories a lot because they’re important to me, and my identity. They’re…

How can you tell fabricated memoriesemotions from real ones?

This one is way above my pay grade, but I’ll answer it anyway. This is in no way a ‘professional’ answer, just my personal opinion. In…

is it valid to ID as a character who speaks more than one language, but not be fluent in the other language yourself? sorry if this was worded poorly or came across rudely

Hi, anon. You’re not rude at all, but I do have a new rule. I’m not going to discuss ‘IDs’ and whether or not they’re ‘valid’. As…

Re: gender=/=kintypes, I realize this was directed largely at anti-kin, and so I don’t blame you for not mentioning it, but there are times when your kintypes can affect your gender. Especially if said kintype is a noncorporeal/alien one, or a fictotype with a gender different than yours. Just worth mentioning, no t that Im necessarily suggesting you add it to the post.

There absolutely are times when gender can be influenced by your kinself/kintypes. I would say part of the reason I’m a transman is probably my…
