A fictionkin is: “those who identify as something that is considered fictional, typically (a) fictional character(s) or species”. They identify as a fictional character or species rather than with them.

The alternate universe involves everyone becoming their “true forms”, which for fictionkins are the fictional character or member of the fictional species they identify as.

Ask if you wanna be curious, don’t judge or call me “delusional” or something.

    Not sure, can’t say it’s from being neurodivergent because there are many neurodivergent people who aren’t like this. I also have trauma and have something called Other Specified Dissociative Disorder so it may be a trauma response, no clue. I’m actually not sure, maybe because I know that I’m still in my human body and just believe I’m them in a parallel universe? Also, genuine question, do delusional people know they are delusional?

    I don’t tell them, I just shift and I feel like Tord or Larry but there’s no noticeable difference.

      I think it’s possible to recognize you are delusional while still being delusional. Although I don’t think that’s typical, self awareness tends to be extra challenging and the nature of delusional thinking makes it a slippery thing to hold on to.
