What is fictionkin?
"Fictionkin is a subset of Otherkin. Fictionkin is a connection‚ often spiritual or psychological‚ with a fictional character and/or species. This connection is deep enough to identify as and/or with them. Fictionkin often believe that they are or were a fictional character or species either now or in a past life. Sometimes kinning is used as a coping mechanism for neurodivergent people. Both methods are equally valid!"
