i am so damn confused. i’ve spent two years now thinking that i might be fictionkin, but i can’t come to definite answer. i’ve tended to push away any feelings (or memories???) of my kin that i have, because i don’t know what the hell to do with them. but they always come back, with bigger force. i have no idea if i AM fictionkin, or fictionhearted, or some other term that I don’t even know yet because there are so many to learn. i don’t even know why i sent this ask. im just so confused.

If you have to push away these feelings and they keep coming back, that’s a good indication that you may be kin, or have a…

Not everyone you meet is going to be kin, or believe in kin. What is important is not what they believe, but that they treat…

I think I’m kin of a character, but the problem is that it’s a background character that gets about 3 lines of dialogue and barely has any canon personality and has NO backstory. How can I tell if this is the right person?

Ouch, anon, I can sympathize. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good advice for you. However, my fiancee who recently went through this herself, may. @nagathewhiteserpent…

is it a common thing to get memories and stuff from fanworks? like, fanfiction and things like that. i read a fic for one of my fickintypes recently and it felt like i was hit with a serious case of deja vu, like i was reading a description of something that happened to me, but this only happened once i’d gotten to a certain part of the fic

Fanworks can definitely trigger memories and feelings, especially if they capture something that was meaningful to you. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re kin specifically…

1/2 I very conflicted. I’ve been doubting this entire identity lately. When I battle my doubts, am I just denying the truth? Do I fabricate my kinfeels and memories to fit into this identity? Am I just using to cope, to fill the empty void in my identity depression left there? Am I just doing this to belong, because I don’t belong anywhere else? Then there’s a whole other series of “what-ifs.” I want to say I’m being too hard on myself, that this is truly where my heart lies and I have figured

2/3 myself out.But I also want to say I’m deluded and crazy, that this is just a fun game my brain put together for me,…

All my fictotypes seem to be “OC” and it makes me feel fake? Is my situation weird? Should I question myself more?

Its okay, anon, every otherkin’s kintype is an OC too.

I have re-examined my kintypes and found them to be wrong. But one won’t budge. It’s the one I doubted the most, but I still feel it. I examine over and over and find the things that prove me wrong, but I still feel in my core it’s not something I can shake off..? I mean, if the others weren’t true, this couldn’t possibly be me.

Maybe its not wrong? Or maybe its still an intense connection. You could be -hearted.

Is it okay to experience memories that aren’t extremely vivid? Because I feel like I have experienced them but they’re not as vivid as I’ve seen others saying theirs are. Its more I remember certain people and places but everything is kinda fuzzy

Absolutely! Some memories are just fuzzy/distant and that’s totally okay.

if someone is kin with an anime character and is white and they use the name of their kintype as their name, is that racist?

I assume you’re asking me if its ‘racist’ for a white person to go by a Japanese name. (There are lots of anime characters that don’t…
