I do not support or believe in fictionkin.

I follow blogs that will do fictionkin moodboards and such, but I personally do not support it AT ALL.

Here is why:

*DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ALL MY INTERPRETATION AND UNDERSTANDING AND DOES NOT APPLY ACROSS THE BOARD.*

Otherkin, in the most logical sense, falls in line with reincarnation. I believe that I was a monster in a past life. I believe I was a demon in a previous life. I believe that the origins of my soul are not human whatsoever. I don't know if my previous lives are from this same timeline or alternate universes. The memories I discover are from previous incantations of my soul. Who I am now is a combination of things I learned and forgotten from previous life cycles. I am not who I was. I am a human with a complex soul. Not a human soul. But I know I am human. I do not identify with a demon. I do not identify with a monster. I do not see myself in named demons. I do not see myself in named monsters.

I do not agree with fictionkin because the idea that a fictional character has a crossed soul with yours is just....stupid. Had an author or creator not made the character, you would never have discovered them. Creators aren't crossing into alternate universes for these characters. They are fiction. They don't exist outside a piece of paper essentially. You were never that character and never will be. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD: YOU DO NOT OWN A CHARACTER. Do you know how many fictionkin I see saying "if you kin with X, do not interact" or "blah blah my canon blah blah". Like "your canon" doesn't exist. The author created the character in a specific way. You are diminishing their work by "adding" things like sexuality, gender, etc that weren't originally written or confirmed by the creator. Quit it.

It is okay to identify with a character and their personality. After all, they are often based on existing traits. For example, I LOVE Amethyst from Steven Universe. I will cosplay her. But I WILL NEVER say "I kin Amethyst", nor will I ever say that no one else is allowed to identify with her, or that they shouldn't talk to me if they like her just as much. It is really stupid.

There really is a healthy way of understanding otherkin and an unhealthy way and to be honest, fictionkin is unhealthy.

Moodboard for my shadow/smoke monster kintype:

All I know now is that he was never malicious. He is the youngest of my kins, thus the closest to me in terms of life cycles. Idk if he was as recent as my last life cycle, but he is from a more recent one.

He always tried to conform to a humanoid shape but never grasped it. He was very neurotic. Bouncing between being anxious to calm to angry. He had a bear companion. He had an obsession with teeth and veins.

He lived in the forest and whenever he would encounter humans, it was more of "did I see something at the corner of my eye?" And never in full sight. He gave people that feeling of them being watched when he was merely observing.
