The Persona 5 game just got a release date, and with the new trailer I feel a little too much like they just put me in it with one of the characters revealed. I went through this with P4 and found out I soulbonded one of the characters and wasn’t actually kin (I was like super panicked about it for a while). Now I’m just like, ho-hum please don’t do this. Idk. Just wanted to share I guess, bc I don’t ever talk kin or soulbonds on tumblr. It’s just frustraing at this point. You ever deal w this?

Oh yeah, anon. I hear you. Sometimes I see a glimpse of something, in a trailer, or a list on youtube or something and I;m…

KIN-ADJACENT EXPERIENCES (original post) I’m reposting this because it was originally posted before I heard the term alterhuman, and I think it belongs in that sphere.…

I very strongly resonate with a character, but I don’t really understand yet what it means to be kin with one or if the feelings I have can be counted as being kin. I don’t consider myself to BE said character in any different timeline or reality, but I do very much feel a deep connection to them. Would it be okay to ask for some advice?

Hey anon, I’m happy to help. Since you don’t consider yourself to BE this character, then the connection you’re looking to describe wouldn’t be called…

I have this strange on/off kintype? I had a hard time believing if my feelings were genuine, so i decided to drop it and act like it never happened. But it keeps lingering back every other day or so, like it’s not something that ever went away, and I feel faith in it again. Then I tell myself I might be deceiving myself and it dies down again only to come back. When this happens I feel it’s me at core. I have only one memory and a little nostalgia but I disproved it so it can’t be real.

Hmmm, could be a lot of things. It could be a kintype that’s not very strong, so you think you’ve ‘disproved’ it. You could be fictionhearted.…

I don’t talk about it much, but besides being fictionkin I’m also: Otherhearted- Corvidhearted, since I was 10. I consider crows and ravens a personal…

before i knew what otherkin were i got into a series and immediately felt a very close connection to one of the characters, as well as certain feelings about the character that turned out to be canon, though i hadn’t gotten nearly that far in the series. this feeling remained and now i’ve started playing it more again, it’s stronger than ever, i feel really nostalgic about locations and characters and am now questioning it as a kintype. does it sound like it or could it maybe be something else?

It sounds like it is definitely a possible kintype, and worth exploring whether it is or not! If its not a kintype, it might also…

Different anon. The realmultipleadvice, by their own stance, doesn’t respect kin though. They deny it exists, which is fine there will be a difference in beliefs, but then they also say that it’s incredibly unhealthy to be kin even as a coping method. Which is insulting to the belief system and a major issue kin would have with the people running that blog.

That’s fair, and I can see where you are coming from with that stance. I’ll admit I find their position somewhat ironic, given that they…
