Hi, I believe I’m a copinglink, is it possible to have memories from source?

Since a copinglink is a non-literal experience, people with copinglinks can't experience true "memory", but rather may experience something called “noema” (plural noemata)-- that describes ideas and thoughts that are similar to memories, but not recall of literal experiences.

I need some kin-advice: can you shift as a copinglinker? because ive been mimicing the mannerisms and i even almost started talking like my recent copinglink pickles. (from metalocolypse) i know i dont kin him but im still kinda acting like him??? either the hyperfixation is Strong or hes not just a link

Actually, to follow up my last ask, is it also possible to kin someone vut not have memories? because i'll see a character and be likr 'omg thats me!!' but i wont have memories, is that normal?

So are Copingkin not really Kin? Because Copingkin claim you can pick your Kin.

No, copinglinkers, sometimes called copingkin are not otherkin. Being otherkin may be explained as either spiritual or psychological, but it is never a choice. You either are, or you’re not.There’s nothing wrong with being a copinglinker, it’s a completely valid identity, but it is also a completely different one.@who-is-page is more well versed on this subject than I am. Given they coined the term copinglinker.

Copinglinks, C-links, whatever you call them- how do they help?

A hopefully helpful guide to copinglinks and how they actually work!

First of all, if you’re wondering what the heck copinglinks even are, there’s a definition right here!

Now that we’ve covered that, how does c-linking even help?

I’m gonna take myself for an example. I have two copinglinks, one of which is Prohyas Warrior from the Cartoon Network show Mighty Magiswords. When I saw the very first concepts for the show, I was hyped. Watching the shorts, thinking about the show, seeing fanart, anything just made me so happy.

Prohyas was someone I connected to instantly. He reminded me of myself, and of everything that I wanted to be as a person. Someone who believes in kindness as the best policy and thrives off of helping others, but is still considered brave and tough. I could go one for paragraphs about how much I related to him and just wanted to be him, but luckily for y’all, I will not.

I was going through a pretty rough patch in my life. Personal issues I don’t really need to go into. I felt weak and cowardly, and I found myself clinging to this character that reminded me of myself for comfort. I’d heard of copinglinks before, but only really remembered they existed once I started questioning kin with Prohyas. I found that I wasn’t kin, but it made me feel good about myself and helped with my sense of identity to think of myself as him, so I created a copinglink. I felt super valid and secure, and had a new way to cope during tough times.

I suppose, in short, I linked with a character who reminds me of myself because he helps remind me of the good qualities I often discount in myself, and reminds me of the qualities I strive for. I feel like linking wih him has made me a better and honestly happier person.

Anyways, wow this is long and rambly, but I hope it helps some people? At this point I’m just hoping it makes some sort of sense.

Feel free to send as ask if theres any other topics that you’d like me to do posts like this about, or maybe some feedback about how this post went?

Hey so I have copinglinks and not kintypes; you refer to a copinglink community but I'm having a really hard time finding other c'linkers to make friends with, and I feel like me sending calls to kin blogs would be out of line. Do you have any advice?

I am not too involved in the copinglink community, although I have seen some of the people I follow mention having copinglinks. The community is fairly new, so I recommend making a blog or/and checking out the tag. It probably does not help that some people may be hesitant to participate in public (such as in the tags).You could probably also ask the call to kin blogs if they would have any problem with you trying to find other copinglinkers.If any of my followers have any advice, please add. I have chocolate.

Lookin’ for other OW kin like myself

Howdy, I’m McCree copin’link, ‘n I was wantin’ t’meet other OW kin so I wouldn’t feel so isolated. I don’t really mind doubles, so if you’re also McCree, then get ready for a hoedown a high noons. I don’t care if you’re copin’kin or otherwise, either. Mind rebloggin’ this to get the word out? Might fine thanks, y’all.

EDIT: ‘Scuse me if I offended anyone with the terminology. Still a bit new to the community.
