If a character arises that you know you may be kin to, is it normal to begin having the same interests as the character in question? Say, if the character speaks a different language or likes a certain genre of books, you find yourself also interested in learning how to speak the same language and read the same types of book, is that any indication that you might be kin or is it just subconscious faceclaiming?

Its more likely that having the same interested as a character *before* knowing of that character would be an indication that you were kin. Emulating…

If you’re worried its just a phase, then don’t go around telling people (online or off) that you’re Sonic the Hedgehog until you’ve made sure.…

I come from a canon where alternate universes exist and there are two instances of my fictype in one part (one of them hopped over) – both of them are the real one. I wish others would consider things like this, it may help with confusion and feeling invalidated. And they were different because they were from different timelines – but they were still themselves, just different personalities. Just as we are – we are our types, but we are different timelines, different personalities.

I hear you, anon!

What people say: “You can’t be kin of a non-white person if you are white!” What it sounds like they’re saying: “It is empirically impossible…
