Fictionfolk flag - a flag for anyone with any fictional identity, or anyone who falls under the fictionfolk umbrella.

This can include but is not limited to:

Fictionkin folks

Fictionflickers

Other fictionfolk identities

Synpaths/otherhearted folks

And fictives.

The symbol was made to look like a loop/repeating, that there's no one way to define everyone's identity, and that there can be many different ways someone experiences it. The inside is supposed to look like an open book, representing the fictional aspect of the individual's identity.

Symbol and flag with titles beneath the cut.

[Flag ID: A flag with five stripes with colors from the top down being dark purple, purple, a dark peach color, orange, and dark orange.]

how its going

Personally I have mixed feelings about people using system/adjacent apps for things like tracking kin shifts and stuff, but I won't deny that it would make tracking ours hell of a lot easier.

is there a way to induce kin memories

Hmmmmmmm this is a good question which will get 5000 different answers but I will answer as best I can from personal experience.

Personally, I believe so. I feel like I should clarify that I have a daydreaming issue (probably immersive daydreaming) so that heavily impacts how I engage with my kintype.

Anyway. For me you literally just gotta surround yourself with stuff that reminds you of the kin. Admittedly I use divination to get a head start (ie 'is my canon noncanon', 'is it a magical girl au', ect) and once I have the basics I just surround myself with stuff that reminds me of it.

Like, say I want to develop the memories of the magical girl Fyodor canon. I would play my magical girl Fyodor kin playlist, get the memories I have already written down and try to focus on parts that I don't have answers too. Like my relationship with Nikolai. And then I tend to write, I just jot down what comes into my head, sometimes it's nonsense that makes 0 sense to anyone (including me) and then when I finish zoning out, I know that the session is over. Then I have to make sense of what I had written and how it feels and what I can envisage.

Sorry, this probably isn't much help, if you need more details please lmk (also sorry if this is ass we are blurry as hell rn).

daydream-alterhuman

I don't know if this is really a thing that has been argued ever, but in some situations, maladaptive / immersive daydreaming should more often be considered a thing that can be alterhuman or fall under the umbrella, especially IF the daydreamer themself thinks it counts.

To me, these two things are inseparable. My fictparas are my "kin memories". Source memories are as important as paracosm ones. I spend so much time in my thoughts that I don't think about the reality of having a body. Before a being with a body, my sense of self starts at calling myself a daydreamer, which I feel is different from being a human with a human body. I consider myself a work of fiction because everything I am and will experience is through nonhumanity and fiction. With all the conversations, feelings, memories, relationships, etc. that come solely from the things that happen in paracosms, I think there is a divide between that and the typical human experience. It can effect your sense of identity. So it should at least be mentioned more frequently.

#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^#this 100000000 times this #I can't tell the two apart and that is okay. it's part of my identity regardless
