Its weird how similar fictives and fictionkin are.
Like obviously they're very different but they also overlap a lot
Like I have one friend who's a system, and we both talk to each other about memories, I talk to them about kin memories, they talk to me about fictive memories
We both understand the feelings of identifying as a fictional character, even if there is differences in how we identify that way
We both understand the feeling of memories from source, specifically feeling shitty about bad memories from there
Like we both understand the whole "why am I feeling like this, I feel homesick about a place my body has never physically been in, I have memories my body never physically experienced, I miss people who ice never physically met, ect, why do I feel like this I hate it" thing
And we both understand the whole "being called by [name] makes me feel really good rn, even though its not the name I normally go by, please call me by that name" thing. Like I can go "hey, can you call me [name] until farther notice today? I'm in a very strong [name] kinshift" and they can go "hey can you call me [name]? [Name] is fronting/co-fronting/whatever right now." And its a similar feeling we get when being called by that name during those situations instead of what you widely go by
We both understand the whole "I just got hit with a very big wave of dysphoria cuz I looked in the mirror and I didn't look like [character]" thing
Its weird how similar yet different they are
Theyre the only people I can talk to in person about kin memories and not feel awkward, and multiple of them has said the same thing to me about talking about their memories from source
