That piques my interest, but it doesn't actually answer my question.

Is this, like, people who think they ARE characters from fiction? (as opposed to just soulbonding them, I guess?)

[sarillia]

Otherkin say they are animals or something else other than human. Fickin say they are fictional characters or that they are in an alternate reality or another life or something. So someone who thinks they are are dragon is an otherkin, someone who thinks they are Smaug is a fickin.

[diet_poison]

Thanks! That makes sense based on what I'm picking up from the thread.

I'm still confused. I've seen people say they relate to characters but then I see people will see a picture of a fictional character and say, "Don't I look good here?"

Are there are people who legit think they are a character or is it just a role-play thing? I could have sworn one of these people said only people who have psychosis are allowed to have fickin. I'm so confused...

[diet_poison]

I guess it's the latter?

I could have sworn one of these people said only people who have psychosis are allowed to have fickin.

Honestly, I think one of the hallmarks of bizarre trends like this is the infighting, including arguing over how mental illness relates to their identity.

I used to be friends with someone who said they were the reincarnation of a magical character from another world they wrote into their (unpublished) novels. They also had an imaginary family (partner/kids) they thought they spent time with part time. The cognitive dissonance was unbelievable.

So fickin and the ability to hold amazingly contradictory behaviours/beliefs don't surprise me at all.
