Oh... what's this ??

reblog to pull your f/o / soulbond under the mistletoe & give them a biiiiig smooch~! (or mayhaps the other way around?)

[dimi-yume]

Imagine your f/o speaking to you through a dream

You go to sleep, and doze off..

The next thing you know, your f/o is right in front of you

You can’t believe it! You reach out to touch them and hold their hand

They hold your hand in return, interlocking your fingers

They give you a sweet smile, before whispering a soft, yet memorable..

“I love you.”

You wake up, and it’s already morning.. A dream that short felt like it could last forever.

January 2026 Fictionfolk Census!

Welcome to the January 2026 Fictionfolk Census! Through this survey, we're looking to see what sources are most common in the fictionfolk community. This survey is open to all who identify as being fictionfolk.

January 2026 Fictionfolk Census

Welcome to the January 2026 Fictionfolk Census! Through this survey, we're looking to see what sources are most common in the fictionfolk co

All you have to do for each response is tell us the name of your source! No extra information needed. From these results, I will be examining:

What sources seem to be the most represented in the community?

What type of media seems to be the most prevalent in the community? (live action, video games, animation, film, television, etc.)

Does a certain media's popularity correspond to the amount of fictionfolk who have it as a source?

The survey will end 2/15/2026, and results will be posted on @fictionfolklore. (though the survey may be extended based on the amount of data collected) After the survey ends, I will try my best to get the results out in a timely manner (i anticipate a large range of data to look through, however).

further response information:

1. Do not add character names. Just sources.

❌ Cinnamoroll - Sanrio

⭕ Sanrio

2. One source per submission, please! This form accepts multiple responses, so please refresh and submit each source separately.

❌ Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Digimon, The Amazing Digital Circus

⭕ Percy Jackson and the Olympians

⭕ Digimon

⭕ The Amazing Digital Circus

3. For the sake of this poll, systems should respond as one source per body, regardless of how many headmates identify with that source. This goes the same for those with multiple kintypes from the same source.

Both myself and another headmate are kin from Pokemon. I am kin with two Pokemon, they are kin with one. Despite having three Pokemon kintypes between us, we would submit Pokemon one time. This is to prevent the possibility of an extremely niche source being overrepresented by a single body.

4. OC folk are welcome to respond! If you are a completely original character, just writing "OC" is enough. If you are from a preexisting source (ex: a Demon Slayer OC, a noncanon Demon Slayer character) then you should put the source itself. (in this case, you'd just respond "Demon Slayer") If you have multiple OC ~types from different completely original universes, please still only submit OC once!

5. I would prefer if individual games are submitted, rather than a developer as a whole.

❌ Miwashiba

⭕ Alicemare

⭕ LiEat

If there are any other questions that come up, I will add to this post and update the explanation on the form!

⭕ 1bitheart

6. The way I plan to group and organize franchises is subject to change based on submission results, but I am pretty firmly separating Roblox games into their own categories.
