Dear readers of Fictionkinfessions,

Good morning/afternoon/evening everycreature! I hope you’re doing well today! Today’s a question that I find near and dear to my heart. But first, as always, a story!

Ever since I realised I’m Twilight Sparkle ‘kin, several years ago, I’ve been somewhat ashamed to take ownership of that fact. Several years later, though, and a lot more recently, accepting myself as Twilight and a pony has made me genuinely happier than ever before.

To the point that, well… I’m proud to be me. Most of all, though, I think I’m proud to be a pony.

Which brings me to my question for today! So, without further ado, my question is: what part of being fictionkin/a fictive are you most proud of?

Your local purple pony princess,

Twilight Sparkle.

@ Twilight’s question about what we’re proud of

There’s a lot of parts of us being Nightmare Sans, Gaster Blaster Sans, and Underlust Sans that we accept with pride. Our species identity as a skeleton monster being the most major part. Us not being human is something we are extremely comfortable in, and we are proud of not being “normal.”

Also the contradictory nature of us being kin with Lust Sans, while it is something we recently discovered, is something we take some pride in. Yes we are aroace-spec and a character literally named Lust, and no we don’t care how contradictory that is.

Being fictionkin has caused us some hardships with online harassment and the looming threat of loosing our only close irl friends if they find out, but looking back at our life before discovering who we are, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dear Twilight,

To answer your question, the things that make me proud of who i was is the fact i never gave up. I was put through the ringer, countless timelines and grief and existential despair and being afraid was daunting. going up against somebody who is seemingly so far above you is one of the scariest things ive ever had to do.

but i managed to do it. i kept going as rough as it was and even if i didnt come out unscathed, im still here. I can be proud of being stubborn to the point that multiple countermeasures had to be put in place to stop me.

He couldnt stop me. the writers couldnt stop me. that life was full of me coping with the fact that people had power over me until they didnt anymore. Im proud of how i stuck it to them and didnt give up even when i was solely relying on the hope that i could help the people i found a drive to protect. I couldnt make a difference for my previous friends, but I wanted to try to make a difference for them and give them another chance.

Not only am i proud about that, but im so, so proud of the fact i could give them a future and im proud of them. Im not sure if i stayed with them after the end but im so, so happy they got the chance to be kids. normal ones.

well, not quite normal but you get the idea. I hope you guys are doing well, wherever you are. words cant describe how lucky i feel to have known you guys, it was worth it. It was worth it a million times over. thank you. -mspa reader(#📖♠️)

p.s. sorry if my answers seem heavy a lot of the time! there are things about this kintype that are happy and enjoyable i promise-

Dearest Princess Twilight,

I've been a part of the kin community for most of the past decade now, and I'm no stranger to finding a lack of pride in it for much of that time. I am by no means at my most proud, but I do feel much less shameful these days.

For me, I think the pride I do have lies in the community itself. There was a long time where there was no pride in this. People were scared, either hiding themselves away out of fear or attacking each other with things they didn't truly believe if only to briefly escape the vicious, toxic witch hunt that scoured this place. That was probably... 7 years ago now? The toll that it took on us is something that's still visible today. We didn't have words like copinglink until then, because people had to make dozens of new words up to avoid calling themselves kin and getting inundated with hate messages making ridiculous claims. There's not a lot of people left who were here for all of that, but things have healed a lot better than I once thought. Though it'll never be the same, there's people in the community now who have never seen it at its worst and hopefully never will. We have become better, kinder people with the years. That is something to be proud of, coming from someone who once looked up at it all and considered it hopelessly impossible. Thank you to everyone who has brought better energy to the kin community in recent times. You're what makes me proud to be fictionkin again.

To answer Twilight's question: Im proud of how i finally found a good way to cope with identity issues and trauma. While it does make it difficult to differentiate between my headmates and my kinshifts, I know im better confused than panicked.

Made being trans a bitch though, i cant decide what name i want /humorous
