#kin notes

Can I ask the difference between a kin and a fictive?

My knowledge is under the cut bab!

I (Rox) have been asked this many times amongst the blogs I mod on; it’s a pretty common question actually--

So a kin, like you and I, per se, is a past life. Someone you personally were in a past life, yeah? Like… I’ve been Roxy Strider (Daveswapped), Eridan Serket (Vriskaswapped), and Eridan Ampora (Humanstuck), to my knowledge currently.

A fictive is someone in the headspace, like an alter, who’s source is from fiction material (Homestuck, Pokemon, Danganronpa to name a few). c: I hope this clears up some confusion!

(TLDR Bro is a headmate of mine; an alter who’s further defined as a fictive. I, Rox, am my own person and am separate from him.)

V2 fictionkin notes

Now unable to listen to Clair de Lune

For some reason, I stand on my tippy toes

My right eye twitches as a reaction

Loudly talks to V1

Feels weird when I pop my fingers due to the fact that it makes me aware of my human flesh

Almost felt my flesh mesh into my form? Weird robot phantom body type stuff

Just a fictionkin thing in general, I feel weird when talking about Ultrakill because I’m not always referred to as V2 when this happens

Lots of arm jokes. Lots. /nm/lh

Seeing Minos as a father figure?? In a way? V1 might as well thanks to our little joke

Weird feeling when I think about War Machine Stuff(tm), like I’m clawing at the bars of my enclosure or something

I can’t remember dying. I might not have even died in my canon.

Confused as to if I have actual memories of Gabriel or if I just really like him now

From what I’ve gathered in the time I’ve been a kinnie (which is not very long lmao– I’m not kidding either), there seems to be like… Levels of connection with certain kins? If I’m reading it right, anyways.

The standard format seems to be something along the lines of (from Strongest to Lowest:

- Literal(ly Me) / Selfhood- ID- Primary- Secondary- Tertiary (Sometimes used? I haven’t seen is as much as the four above)

With that said, it seems that (to me) an kin that’s an ID is someone that you identify Very Strongly as, enough that it may?? affect yourself; in my case, Tyzias is Very Much an ID because I share a lot of her attitude towards things, as well as her view on legal matters (in that ‘verse anyways– my views on legal matters in the Real World are for political debate and not this blog lol).

Of course, I may have completely borked this explanation, hence the disclaimer above, so please take this with the weight of a grain of salt. //shrug
