Fictionkin criteria is: do you identify as (experience life as, exist as, etc) a fictional character (or something from a fictional world)?

That's it. Shifts, memories, and the like are common experiences you'll find in the community, but they aren't required in any sense to call oneself fictionkin. That's not in the definition.

just thinkin' to be honest. I don't get many memories or anything and I don't know if that means anything B(

Worried I don't fit into fictionkin criteria AUGHHH

The only real difference between spiritual and psychological is the theory for what you believe caused your kintype; the experiences themselves can be virtually identical.

When it comes to memories, false memories exist. The brain can create memories of a situation that never happened, and this is one of its well-known quirks. This does lead to some psychological 'kin experiencing 'memories' of something that should have never happened. It absolutely isn't the first time I've heard of it.

I don't currently have any theory for why I myself am fictionkin, but I too tend to automatically refer to my kintypes' lives in past tense because, speaking chronologically, if I remember being something that I am now not, it had to have happened in a 'past'. It tends to be convenient, language-wise, to speak about it this way.

Unless you feel like it's important for you to analyze this for yourself, I don't think it's something to stress yourself over, and it isn't unusual for those in the community to experience things like this. The brain has many oddities.

Despite not really aligning with spirituality in regards to my fictotype, I keep catching myself referring to my fictotype as something from the past??? (ex: "I wish how I once was", "I was (thing)", "I want to (thing) again")

Why am I longing for a past that never existed? Wtf is up with me?

I am him now, but I also remember being him too? Is that even possible with a psychological fictotype?????

me when im confused and don't know something and might have to actually ask someone (I will not because interaction with others scares me)

Made for the Alterhuman Minizine Jam by @oceaniccourt. My first time making a minizine. It was tiring but rewarding.

[dramaticshcwcase]

To be frank, I'm not sure how this wouldn't be endelity. If you want to draw directly from the definition, endelity includes identities that are caused by, rooted in, or influenced by delusions. You explicitly state that the vampiric identity is influenced by delusions, so why do you believe that it doesn't count? (You don't have to tell me your answer to this; it's more for yourself.)

To speak personally, I have a similar experience. During high school, I experienced delusions being a god, with an identity that would strengthen, weaken, or vanish depending on the severity of my delusions at the time. Nowadays, I experience these much less, but periods of stress or imbalance will still trigger this identity to resurface. I also experienced this less physically, though not fully psychologically, as I felt like a god improperly shoved in a human body as punishment. I won't go into the details, but it was distressing and associated with paranoia for me, and yet would fade when my other symptoms did. I still personally consider it an endel, or demi-endel, because of its nature as being explicitly caused by delusions for me. For me specifically, it was also strictly delusions, as I didn't have hallucinations associated with this experience (even though I sometimes experienced them otherwise), and I didn't feel like I was transforming or physically part of what I felt as phantom appendages. It has left an impact on me, though, and I have waffled in the past over whether to consider it a psychological kintype or not. (I currently don't, but who knows if that will change.)

My experiences with this delusion-centric identity is part of why I feel even more stable in my other identities, to be honest; they didn't fluctuate based on symptoms, but were always part of me.

Ultimately, it's up to you what you wish to call it and think of it. But I don't personally see any reason at all why endelity wouldn't be a fitting term if you wished to use it. I am not affiliated with its creation whatsoever, but even the coiner reblogged your post without saying anything negative about its usage.

But your other questions, I don't think I have a right to try and answer, because your own experiences are most important there. If you dismiss them, does it cause more or less distress? If you accept them, does it worsen the experience, or make it easier to cope with it? It all depends on your own life.

Over the course of the past year or so I've begun to realize that I have two different experiences with nonhumanity. The first are kintypes/theriotypes that function in a way that aligns with common kin experiences. I have, while not in active psychosis, experienced "awakenings" wherein I discovered long-term, stable kintypes. I occasionally have both shifts and species dysphoria related to these kintypes, but they are infrequent and non obtrusive.

The second experience is psychotic nonhumanity. It can take a couple forms: cameo shifts and pseudo kintypes. Cameo shifts occur more often under the effects of psychoactive drugs (THC, and strangely enough caffeine), but generally occur amid psychotic symptoms. A common one is the visualization (envisage shift) of supernatural wings that don't look like or correlate with my hawk kintype. They may be massive, filling the entire room I'm in, and come hand in hand with feelings of elation and grandiosity.

The other form of psychotic nonhumanity (and the true topic of this post) is what, in the moment, feels like kintypes with extremely intense shifts. These 'types tend to seem "dark" in nature - for example, vampire is a common one for me. I experience the feeling of being a vampire, while feeling fangs in my mouth and having an overwhelming, obsessive urge to consume blood. I think clinical vampirism/Renfield's syndrome is another way to contextualize those feelings. They are incredibly persistent, demanding my constant attention for hours. If I weren't disabled regardless, these experiences might be disabling on their own.

These feelings aren't necessarily 100% delusional, or "physical" in nature - in psychosis I did not believe I was physically any of the species involved, in the way that many psychotic alterhumans describe. I merely experienced the "on a non physical level I am X" otherkin experience, but in a way that was overwhelming, intrusive, and partially associated with the dark themes of the delusions I did have. Rumination, fixation, and obsession are common elements of my experience with psychosis, and these "types" were experienced in that manner. None of my typical kintypes are associated with either obsession or distress (apart from mild dysphoria).

Unlike common endel experiences I see described, my psychosis "kintypes" disappear when I'm not in psychotic episodes. Like many people on the schizophrenia spectrum, while I always experience symptoms the severity is episodic. Therefore there are days and weeks in which I'm a vampire and up to a year in which I'm not.

Another way of viewing these different experiences is in the spiritual/psychological binary. I view my "normal" kintypes as a mental connection to past lives, which I would label as a spiritual cause. My psychotic 'types are, on the other hand, clearly psychological. I can't guarantee that I've never had a past life that aligns with these experiences (as I believe my soul has had MANY past lives) but these 'types don't feel like a connection to a deep, older part of myself. They feel like an incarnation, a personification of my psychosis itself. It's essentially the most clearly psychological aspect of my alterhumanity.

During the worst of these "intrusive identities", as I guess one could call them, I felt deeply confused about suddenly having new kintypes. I believe I even made a post here about feeling blindsided with new, dark 'types. I even listed these types in my About Me for a while, even though it always inexplicably felt "off" to me. When that particular episode ended I essentially went "Oh, THAT'S what that was!" and removed those from the list. I no longer felt connected to those species. It almost reminds me of fictionflickers, merely in the sense of being powerful yet temporary. It felt more real than reality at the time, as I've heard many schizospec people describe their psychosis.

I am unsure how, or whether, to incorporate these 'types into my identity. Do I dismiss them because they're temporary? Do I dismiss them to avoid "encouraging" psychosis in some way? Or do I accept them as Me during my psychosis, because people in psychosis also have the right to self define? Do I continue to list them in my identities when I'm out of psychosis? Or claim them only when they feel immediately applicable?

I haven't seen much discussion of temporary identities in alterhuman spaces, outside of very different experiences like fictionflickers and therian cameo shifts. If I'm wrong and there's some terminology or small community associated with temporary 'types, let me know. Do these experiences count as "endelity"? I'm tempted to use the term "endel" but I'm reluctant to misstep when my experiences aren't identical to the endels I follow. If you have an opinion on that you can let me know as well.

[dramaticshcwcase]

I experienced something like this for a long time (though it's settled down lately). I called them copinglinks for years despite their involuntary nature due to the similarity to olden "copingkin" (those who would have identities born from coping with circumstances that would fade and be "dropped" later), and because them being tied into coping with things was such a key part of how they fluctuated in intensity, and even the coiner didn't have a problem with this due to the similarity... But in the past couple years I started calling them constels instead due to the openness of the framework, and because I felt like my experiences could fit within what it described.

If you have identities that are born from needing to cope with an experience, and they end up sticking with you permanently... I don't think anyone would see it as being different from any other psychological kintype. If they were like how I experienced them, though, flowing in and out of my life based on how my brain needed to cope with certain feelings and experienced, they were very different from my other kintypes, so I hated suggestions to just call them kintypes... Honestly, I don't see an issue with just using copinglink with an emphasis on the coping bit, or using constel, or even just using your own word since there isn't a clean way to describe this in the current alterhuman lexicon.

Open question because... I'm really, really confused right now.

Can you be a c'linker but like... but not completely voluntarily? Kind of like you can and very much will have link kintypes (and KNOW they're linked types) but you don't know when it'll happen, and it's in response to stress? (Different from splitting or a new alter. Or even a non link kin. I can differentiate between those. They all feel different.)

I'm just really confused because I KNOW that the new 'type I just discovered ISN'T a fictive and ISN'T a non-link kin... but I didn't like... I dunno, INTENTIONALLY try to link? Does this make sense?

Can anyone help me understand this?

– A Heavy (Metal Family) copinglink...? 🤘🐱

I'd look into plurality and/or soulbonding to start.

hello Tumblr fictionkin community. i think i have a problem. lately, aka last week, ive had a voice in my head. BROKER. dude. oh my god ... first i was like "okay this is weird. i am thinking to myself in his voice thats just Me stop it😭😭fucking weirdo" but then a week went by and then he just comforted me through some really shitty thoughts last night. like as if i was talking to him. full fledged conversation. its exactly like him, talks like him, acts like him, and it freaks me out. i dont know what the fuck is happening. its not a seperate identity, im not him obviously, its just like, hes with me. but in my head. it scares the fuck out of me because i dont know what this is and i dont know how to look this up. "weird voice in my head that is just exactly like talking to my friend that im not with anymore because im fictionkin".?????????????????????? i dont know and it freaks me out. if theres any info on this type of thing, please let me know, because i dont like not knowing things about whats going on in the brain barrel.

[dramaticshcwcase]

I keep a number of posts like this in my questions tag, if that helps. You can pick and choose what's interesting to you. Skimming through again and there are a fair few that don't focus on memories.

i crave a fictionkin ask game but I can't find any....

[dramaticshcwcase]

So, I reblog a lot of questions to archive them in a tag that one can use to read through later for prompt ideas, but someone actually sent in a question--I feel awkward about it, since my anon is off to avoid trouble, but I will answer regardless.

What does canon media get right/wrong about me?

My kintypes are not heavily AU, so I think it's more simple to just talk about what it gets wrong (or rather 'different'--the story of someone who is me, yet has their own differences from my experience), and anything else can generally be assumed to be right.

In my world, Meowstic are quadrupedal, not bipedal. The psychic organs on our ears are pseudo-eyes. We hunt other Pokemon as well as consuming berries.

I had a younger sister as Maizono. This was almost canon, but was cut during production. My parents were divorced; my mother wasn't dead, just didn't live with me, lived with my sister instead.

With Ivlis, I guess the thing that stands out most is not being interested in basically any of the people canon implies I am. Also, Adauchi and Poemi are my only children. Most other details are more complex and harder to speak briefly about.

I have the most extreme differences with being Mika. A lot more went wrong, to the point that canon is almost the 'good end'. I was never put in an orphanage, so I stayed with my parents until I left my hometown. Itsuki didn't improve. I lashed out when Nazuna-nii and Naru-chan tried to talk to me about him and stopped talking to them. I was instead closer with Tsumu-chan-senpai, who didn't have any problems with how he was treated, but would sometimes gently step in to protect me. Mado-nee's fronting was more obvious. The entirety of Enstars!! era never happened.

Might be forgetting some things, not sure.

[dramaticshcwcase]

I very, very rarely dream as my kintypes. As far as I'm aware, daydreaming is fully voluntary and easy as long as you have mind-sight, so I am able to do so and do it frequently.

I experience phantom and mental shifts. I have phantoms almost always, so I am very used to them. Generally, they are comfortable, unless they are fictionflicker or cameo-related (as those don't feel like my limbs, I am not used to them, and it can feel clumsy). I find mental shifts more uncomfortable, because they amplify traits of my 'types in ways that are usually more mixed into the soup of my general personality. Also, I feel much more out of place and confused by my environment during those times.

I think the thing I feel most commonly in relation to my 'kinity is resignation. I am not proud of it, and it doesn't bring me joy, but I'm not always miserable about it, either. I just accept that it's something I'm going to have to live with and manage. If you meant feelings tied to specific kintypes, rage/irritability is common with Ivlis shifts, and confidence and guilt with C-ta shifts.

I currently abstain from putting myself on either side of the origin split. I do not have any way of proving to myself that I am kin for any specific reason, or because of anything in particular. As such, it isn't helpful for me anymore to refer to them as spiritual or psychological. I have historically found myself having experiences that align more with spiritual 'kin, though.

Labels matter a bit to me. I'm not fond of most microlabels, but I don't call myself alterhuman, either, because I have more specific labels that already express what I am more than alterhuman does. I think having the proper words for a particular experience is important for those with that experience being able to form a community around that label. If a label is too specific, a community can't really form around it, but if it is too broad, then you struggle to find someone like you even among a huge crowd. I personally connect with therian, fictionkin(d), otherhearted, fictionflickerer, and constelic. Constelic is the newest one here, as I have realized that it fits my experiences better than copinglink, which I used for years, did.

I have numerous kintypes, unfortunately. Put most simply, I'm a feline and demon with some fictotypes, both ones I typically speak about and some that I don't. When it comes to commonalities... Being a Meowstic and Maizono is related to me, because they both center around psychic references and the color blue. Also, being a domestic cat and a Meowstic makes me cat^2. Being angry, whether openly or hiding it, is also a pretty common theme in... basically all my fictotypes, I think? Hm. I hadn't quite realized that. I guess you could say that being Mika and C-ta also has the commonality of unhealthily dedicating our life to someone. Contradicting qualities... When I had more frequent shifts to Maizono, you could see a stark difference to my demeanor during Ivlis shifts, before the former influenced polite and friendly speech, and the latter influenced irritable and rough speech. And, while I was born of fire and dwelled among it as Ivlis, I lived in the ocean as Samekichi; I suppose that fire vs water could be a contradiction?

The community wants to hear about your experiences! Tell me about your experiences with alterhumanity!

Did you have dreams of your nonhuman self? Can you daydream as yourself?

Do you get shifts? What kind? What's the most comfortable one? And uncomfortable?

Are there any emotions or feelings you get that are linked to your alterhumanity?

Do you relate more to the psychological side or spiritual side of alterhuman (spec. therian) discussion? Do you fall in-between?

Do labels matter to you? Do you need a specific set of definitions of yourself? Are you confused or scared to start picking labels?

What are your kintypes, theriotypes, etc etc? Do they have any related qualities? Contradictory qualities?

Note: I'm not here for discourse about what should or shouldn't be accepted into the alterhuman community. Anyone can reply to this post if they feel like it fits them. If you start shit about my language use, I'm going to bite you, and not in a fun way.

fictionkin & fictive ask game!!

/pt: fictionkin & fictive ask game!! end of pt/

i really want to explore my identities a bit more so i decided to make my own ask game! feel free to reblog, please send an ask to whoever you reblogged it from if you can, and enjoy!

this doesn’t follow an emoji/number system because i find those hard to keep track of. questions below!

What do you think of fan works? (Such as fanfiction, fanart, etc.)

What do you think of your in-source family/friends? (A brother, a best friend, etc. that is close to who you were/are!)

What does fandom get right and/or wrong? (Such as gender or pronoun headcanons, or portrayals in fanfiction and fanart!)

Do you like the name you got in source, or do you go by a different one?

Do you own any merch from your source? If not, would you like to?

What do you remember from your past in-source, and does it align with canon media?

Do you dislike your source? Does anything in it bother you? (Such as the portrayal of a friend!)

What does canon media get right and/or wrong about you? (Or, how different are you from canon?)

What did you look like?

How did you find out you were/are this/these character/s?

Is there anything canon never showed that you remember happening?

Do you have any memories you visit a lot?

[dramaticshcwcase]

Koga (Enstars) is a wolf therian. I also like seeing Mayoi (Enstars) as Phantom of the Opera fictionkin. Rei and Ritsu (Enstars) could be read as vampire copinglinkers. I agree with N, but I really like the common fanon that he's a Zorua therian. I like the concept of Yukinaga (1bitHeart) as alienkin. I like seeing Koyuki (BokuHaka) as felinekin. And Shun (Tsukiuta) isn't kin per-se, because it's intentionally made unclear whether he's an actual demon with magic or if he's human, but some of his story (regarding having memories of his past lives and selves in other worlds) is very kin-like.

My memory is pretty bad, so there are probably a lot I am forgetting... I suppose I will add them if I remember.

We have a fun idea for a game!

Comment or reblog this with a character or characters that you headcanon or see as otherkin, therian, fictionkin, otherhearted, or any other alterhuman identity; feel free to elaborate on any specifics!

We’ll go first: Sunny (OMORI) being a cat therian (specifically a black cat) and N (Pokémon) being an unspecified Pokémon alterhuman of some kind (I see him being transspecies tbh)

Go wild guys!!

[dramaticshcwcase]

I fictionflicker extremely frequently, with almost all 'content' I consume. Whether I do or not, and how 'severe' it ends up being, seems pretty random. It happens more often the first time I engage with something compared to if I come back to it, I think. I'm not too sure about funny experiences... It's usually a bit of a nuisance, haha.

I've also had ones that felt more walk-in-y than a flicker, though it happens more rarely than just standard identity flickering. In the time I remember, I was feeling a lot of things personally, and then it just separated from me into its own self with differing thoughts? But then ended up fading/leaving the same way flickers typically do.

My mindvoice is very malleable, so if I listen to anyone say anything for some time, it easily takes on their voice... It's certainly amusing in the sense of being able to just play with that voice in your mind, but also awkward in the sense of "Oh I guess I'm just going to internally sound like a middle-age man for a while? Ok then."

My flickers do tend to range between the simple 'taking on their voice/mannerisms/speech pattern for a bit' to the 'I am now entirely and wholly this character until the flicker fades' kind of experience. Isn't really predictable for me.

Tell me about your fictionflickers, if you get any. Do you often get them after intensively "consuming" a fiction? Or does it randomly happen, without ado? Have you had any funny experiences with them?

In my experience, I've had to politely shove them away after getting overwhelmed with them-- I've had some that seem more like walk-ins, if I gave them too much thought. And in a more... what I think is a common/normal experience, whenever I "consume" a fiction with a sort of way of speaking, my internal dialogue will begin mimicking it, either separately from me or overtaking my mindvoice as it.
