Being fictionkin or the idea of fictionkin is the belief that you were once a fictional character or a fictional species in another life, or that you feel spiritually connected with a fictional character or species.
In some cases, some fictionkin people literally are their "kintypes", in the case of being a headmate/alter for someone who has Dissociative Identity Disorder
Most people with this belief tend to gravitate towards the multiverse theory to explain themselves

Get the Fictionkin mug.a fictionkin person is someone who believes they were/are a fictional character in a past or parallel universe. sometimes a fictionkin's source (the reality they were in before this reality) is much different than how it's described in the media that the character came from, so it's important to see them as an individual rather than the character they are. a fictionkin person's fictotype can be from an entire species rather than just one character, such as sandwings from WOF or eevees from pokemon.

Get the fictionkin mug.A delusion where people think they are somehow connected to a FICTIONAL character, some believe they were the character in a past life, some believe they have the character somewhere in their mind.
They claim to have their memories as well, and most of the fictionkins say it's because of neurodivergency, which is an excuse.
As fun as it looks, it is not an actual thing, it is just a made-up 'phenomenon'.
