・❥・What is it? ｡꩜┊͙ ════════════════════ An individual who identifies, and/or relates with/as 1 or more fictional characters, and experiences a shift in identity/personality due to it.

・❥・Why?｡꩜┊͙ ════════════ For some time, the fictionkin label on its own hasn't felt the most relatable, so I decided to make my own that caters to me specifically! I chose to share it because there might be others who feel this way who just need another label that can help them identify themselves.

So! You're a Fictosync or you've decided to go by that label, and know your synctypes. Now what? Well, if you're ever interested, you should try and connect more with your sync type! I've come up witha list that have helped me, and might help you. Of course, there are probably more ways than what I've listed below.

Self-exploration; not of your synctype, but of you! What’s the history of your culture? What’s your family’s history? How do you act around certain people? Why do you do the things you do?

Research of this character; it’s okay not to be a total expert on your synctype! Look up your characters’ inspirations, model sheets, history, voice actors (if any), official art, fun facts, etc.

Using parallels/allegories between you and this character, for example, let’s say your character has shapeshifting abilities, and you just so happen to be gender fluid. You can parallel those facts. Another example, your character moved away from a bad place, and you left a bad relationship. You can find ways to parallel or connect allegories for many instances you and your character have.

Investing yourself in media regarding this character, similar to research, but this is based more on actually watching shows, reading books, and interacting with fandom! Fanart, animation memes, etc.

MAKING media of this character to better fit you; obviously, your synctype won’t always 100% match you, no matter how many parallels you make with them, and that’s okay! You can create your media that might depict your character as different from the original source, but feel closer to you. For example, you have a lot of piercings, but your character doesn’t, or dislikes them. So, you make media of them NOT disliking piercings, or maybe getting over that distaste. Think of AUs to match you, if that’s easier to understand!
