Hiya. Are there any copinglink/c-link/c'link blogs (or otherkin blogs that welcome c'linkers) that you recommend? Thanks!
Tbh I don’t really know of any, and that’s actually why I made this one! But if there are any more out there, promo yourself on this post!
If your kintypes help you cope, make you happy? You’re doing amazing sweetie. People can call you “cringe” all they want and yell at you if that’s really what they wanna waste their time doing, block em and live the life that makes happy. Life’s a bitch and sometimes everything really sucks and if being a fictional character or an animal or monster or outer space helps you, that’s valid and why the fuck shouldn’t you do it
I’m thinking about c-linking with Buster Moon (from the movie Sing!). I don’t think I’m synpath with him, but I relate to him a lot, which makes him a likely candidate for a link! I also headcanon Buster as an ADHD adult, something I am and am still learning to live with being.
For me, copinglinks are usually people I’m similar to and want to be more like. Being them helps me believe in them and put myself in their mindset. Buster works hard through tough times and makes things work, and that’s really what I need right now. I just see myself in him a ton, he’s a big comfort character, and I’ve questioned kin with him, so who knows!
Here’s something weird- I’ve been considering making a copinglink, but I feel kind of guilty about it. I think it’s because the only copinglinks I’ve ever had before are very similar to me, but the character I’m considering is a polar opposite. That’s what I need, though- they’re confident, they love themself, they’re decisive, and they expect the respect that they deserve as a person. The instant I saw them, I wished I was them! They became a huge comfort character.
But I feel like I’m “stealing” a character that I don’t have a right to identify myself as? I feel happy and confident when I do, just guilty as well. I guess I feel like I’m claiming some really good and loved character who’s nothing like myself, and acting like I deserve the same amount of love, or like I’m claiming I’m as good as they are.
Anyways, I’m not trying to say that any c-linkers should be feeling like this or anything. Just a weird lil rant about some c-linking issues, because that’s what this blog is about and I like to complain
I've been confused with the specific differences between copinglinks and fictionkins for a while, and which one I'm experiencing. I have always felt out of place and sort of empty, like I was missing something and when I came out as trans I thought it would change but even though I'm well into my transition it hasn't. A character in a show has experiences that are so painfully similar to me its almost scary? 1/2
“I don’t necessarily think I AM this character but identifying with/as him makes me feel kind of whole/safe and validated. I find myself wanting to dress like him and even considered changing my name again. I sometimes get genuinely upset when I think about the fact that I’m NOT him. I’m worried that this is just something my brain is doing to cope and that it might be unhealthy, and I still don’t really understand it. Any advice is super appreciated! 2/2″
That sounds a lot like what a copinglink is to me! Wanting to be a character or feeling good identifying as them is a lot of what a c-linking is!
Here’s what I consider the difference (but remember- my opinion may not necessarily be right or shared by everyone!):
Feeling as though you wish you could be a character (for reasons of coping with trauma, confusing feelings, illnesses, identity issues, etc.) and/or feeling good/strong/safe/validated when you identify yourself as that character is more like a copinglink!
Feeling like you are supposed to be that character, like you should have their life and/or physical body, or like you are them in any way (you “just are them,” you’re them in a future life, you’re them in an alternate universe, etc.), is a fictionkintype!
So yes, I think that sounds 100% like a copinglink to me, for sure! But, of course, if you do end up deciding that it’s a fictionkintype, remember that it’s your identity and you know it best! :)
As for whether it’s unhealthy- if the fact that you aren’t this character recurrently causes you to harm yourself, have s*icidal thoughts, or permanently increases your self hate (as in, it’s not just you feeling worse about yourself for a day or two when you think about it, but constantly), then it’s probably unhealthy :( If the problem upsetting you is that you “aren’t” him, then a copinglink could be just what you need! If that doesn’t help, or makes it worse, send me another ask and I’ll give you more tips! (I’m sorry, I just feel like this post is already waaay too long.)

I had a copinglink for a long time, a subtle one, but I never really sat down and actively thought about it and chose it? It just came to be part of my identity over time and subconsciously it helped me deal with some Bad Shit. But every time I've tried to purposefully form a c'link it always feels like. Really fake and forced and unhelpful? Am I doing it wrong? Is there a secret to this? Am I just too used to approaching identity from a kin perspective, perhaps? I am unsure.
Hi! Mod Prohyas here. Honestly, the same thing happened to me, but not exactly.
Prohyas (me!!) is a comfort character of mine, and someone I relate to a lot. WHen I watched Mighty Magiswords, I was like, “Wow!!! This is me!! This is everything I want to be!” Sort of like my goals as a person. I questioned kin for a while, but realized I wasn’t, and that’s when I decided to make a copinglink!
I think it’s easier with characters that you already relate to in a way. I’ve considered making copinglinks of other characters, but with ones that I don’t relate to it doesn’t seem to work. Finding someone or something that you relate to an aspect of might make things easier. Even if it’s just a small thing, like the way they talk, or a common interest.
I hope this helps you out a little. Feel free to send in more asks if you need help with anything copinglink-related!

I want to make a pokemon copinglink, but I have no idea where to start. I just... need to feel like I have more power to change things around me. And pokemon are anything but helpless.
Mod Bird here, sorry for the delay!
You’re right in that pokemon are strong and not helpless, often protrayed as creatures that can work alone or in teams. It doesn’t matter if the pokemon is cute and small or huge and breathes fire. In that case, it’s a matter of narrowing it down to a ‘mon you identify with the most, or feel satisfies your wants and needs.
What’s your favourite type? Let’s begin there. You have to then think if you want your c-link to be a pure type or have a secondary type. I’d suggest, in your casy anon, that the primary type be something like rock, ground, fighting, or dragon. It doesn’t have to be, though, since all ‘mon are powerful in their own way.
Make a small list of your faves and then read up on them. Read about their strengths and weaknesses. Some pokemon prefer to be alone. Some prefer to work hard day in and day out. Find the one in your list that ressonates most with your GOALS (more power to change things around you). Alternately, choose one from your list that seems most like yourself. There’s no wrong way of choosing, remember; these are all suggestions.
Go on to establish your c-link. Watch episodes of the show with the character featured in them. Read bits of the manga portraying them. When you see them, think about their powers and impact and feel them in yourself. That’s YOUR copinglink, something you can identify with now. Perhaps write about how this character, your c-link, would deal with your issues, online or in a physical diary. Make stories with them as you, put yourself into their mind when you need to cope with something. When you face an issue in real life, react how they would (within reason of course!) and feel their strength as yours.
They are powerful and resolute, I’d like think, and since they are your link, you can work with and through them to empower yourself.
I had a dream last night about Being Prohyas that out me in a shift? Only now that I’m posting to this blog am I wondering if I did this subconsciously because of what a rough time I’ve been having, maybe I needed a shift so it happened?
