Lately I started ‘getting back’ my memories, but from different… life, I guess? I also started feeling like I’m out of place. I tried looking up some characters that I know, but I couldn’t feel any bigger connection to them – although, I feel like I know some of them for a pretty long time as friends or enemies. I also got some kind of visions about some character, that is not from anything I know, but I feel like it’s me. Is it possible to be a kin of nonexistent character?

Yes, anon, it is totally possible to be kin of a ‘non-existent’ character- as in a person who doesn’t exist in the canon/source material of the…

Hi there. There is a character I really relate to and connected to pretty much instantly. I know I have a strong connection to him, and a strong understanding of him, but I’m not sure if he is a kin of mine. I don’t have memories though and I feel like thats a big indicator of being fictionkin. How do I know if I’m kin to him or if I just relate to him strongly?

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.…

autisticpeko: so i’m looking into more terms for connections w fictional characters and i’m wondering if anyone’s had a similar experience? it kind of seems…

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…
