I’ve been questioning being fictionkin of this character for a couple months now, but fairly recently I started wondering if I’m a different character from the same source (these are characters who know/knew each other). Now, I think I’m first character I was questioning, but I’m not exactly sure. Any advice on how I can figure out who my kinself is?

Well, the easiest way would be if you had any memories- that would probably clear things right up because they’d be from your kinself’s perspective.…

I feel like I literally ‘am’ Sariel from Touhou sometimes. I’ve always felt a strong, unexplained connection to them ever since I first discovered them, and a lot of times I feel like I have ‘phantom wings’ for lack of a better term, flexing my shoulders as if moving my wings. I do use my identity as a coping mechanism, but I don’t think it was the sole reason it was created since my home situation started getting worse after Sariel started to grow in me. Not sure what to call myself?

You sound like fictionkin to me, if you believe that you ‘are’ Sariel in any way. Its totally okay and normal to use your identity to…

Saying “you can’t be kin outside of your race” is actually stupidly racist. What about people of races that have no, or very little, fictional representation? They’re not allowed to be kin, or what? Only white/black/Asian people are permitted to be a part of the community, I guess. Everybody who isn’t white/Asian is forced to identify with a narrow scope of characters that are often one-note or badly written because racism fucking exists in the media. Yeah, that’s not marginalizing.

Totally agree with you, anon.

Hi, I’m pretty new to this kin stuff, and so I’m a bit confused over how I’m feeling. When I look at this particular character or think about them, I definitely get a sense of “oh that’s me” and I have a vague idea of who the character was outside of canon context. But when I evaluate their characteristics and mine, we seem to be two completely different people. How can I possible identify as a character when I am nothing like them? Am I something other than kin?

Anon, its totally possible to be kin of someone that seems nothing like you are now. Especially if you believe in kin by reincarnation, people…

I just realised that nothing really happened to me and I was hit with depression, and when I was having “making-myself-cry-by-talking-weird-things-that-made-no-sense” fits I often repeated that I wanted to go home really badly even when I WAS home?? I dunno. And if somehow I AM fictionkin, could it be that in my past life something really bad happened? It’s all overhelming…

Ouch, anon. You have my deepest sympathy. That was a feeling I often experienced when I was younger. Wanting to go home, even when I…
