Do you think it’s a bad idea to have ended up soulbonding with a character who you are deeply in love with and also sexually attracted to? It’s not unpleasant, it’s just that I feel almost like I’m overstepping some kind of line. Should I run with it, or attempt to back out?

I personally don’t think this is bad, though other people will have other opinions from me. Intense feelings are often what create a bond, and…

Do you think soulbonds are “real” if they don’t accurately reflect all traits of their personality or memories etc from their canon? (Note: “real” isn’t the word I want to use (it’s kinda rude) but I can’t come up with a better word for this question. I’m not trying to be rude, slap me if I am.)

I don’t think this is a rude question. 🙂 The answer is yes. I consider all soulbonds ‘real’ for lack of a better word, regardless of…

Small Misunderstandings

tall-dark-and-scaly: Hello all! This is a post for people confused by the terms we otherkin like to use. Let’s begin. First, the term otherkin itself.…

Can you explain the difference between a soulbond and a headmate? I’m really not understanding and I need to because of my situation.

The short answer is a soulbond is a type, or subset of, headmate. A headmate is any fully realized independent person/entity that shares mental space…

I have a question that I’m too embarrassed to ask off-anon, sorry. I am pretty sure I’m not fictionkin, but yet sometimes I will feel like literally a character is rising up from inside my brain to act for me or to guide me, etc. Pre-existing characters, not OCs. Even when they aren’t actively acting for me, they are still sometimes there and even talk to me and others who are there. I’m not sure what this could be and since I’ve known about otherkin for 10+ years my only thought [1/2]

[2/2] was that it had to be related to fictionkin. And yet as I dwell on it and the more I think the more I…

Hi so I have two questions if you don’t mind! Is it normal to have be fickin and also have fictives? Also, is it considered.. weird/etc for all your kin/fictives to come from just one place? I’ve only recently started coming to terms with being fickin and I’ve suddenly met with two fictives as well, and my 3 kin and fictives all ‘originate’ from one work of fiction. I hope I worded that understandably and thanks :)

Your question was worded just fine. 🙂 It is absolutely common (I won’t say ‘normal’) to be a fictionkin who has headmates, whether they are fictive…

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I figured I’d give it a shot. I don’t personally identify as fictionkin, but I’ve recently gotten attached to this one character and it’s kinda weird… Like, I imagine them in my shoes sometimes when I’m out and about, and I act and think like them sometimes. Could I be fictionkin, or am I just overly infatuated with this character?

(Same anon who wants to know if I’m infatuated with a character or not) I forgot to mention, sometimes I also feel kinda like phantom…

what does “soul bonded” mean?

Soul bonded at its core means you’re mentally connected with someone- usually a fictional character. You hear their voice in your head during the day,…

whats a headmate if you don’t mind me asking? also is it normal to get a soulmate feeling from a character even if you don’t have a kin in their series? (or at least none that you know of)

A headmate is a voice/entity/person/mind that coexists with you inside of a shared brain and body. Headmates are distinct people with full personalities, including fears,…

hi there! i’ve just really accepted my kintype recently (the mangle from fnaf) and i’ve got two other types (silver the hedgehog, weiss from rwby) and it feels like the mangle is here with me always but their voice is least dominant of the three & i occasionally hear weiss & silver pipe in on things that they would do in a situation (e.x.: forgot to do homework- pull an all-nighter vs. not do it at all.) are weiss & silver my headmates while mangle is a my kin? it’s how i feel all the time :o

Mangle is you “kintype” (I really hate how this term has come to be used) if that is your identity. Like if you identify AS…
