A few questions for fictionkin.
- How do you distinguish between your authentic, lived memories of your source and memories "fabricated" or influenced by reading popular fan fiction, looking at fan art, or participating in the fandom?

- Have you ever experienced shifts or memories from a timeline where you made a radically different choice than your character did in the official canon? How do you cope with that alternate self?

- If your source material has multiple adaptations (e.g., a book, an anime, a live-action movie, a video game), how does your kintype react to the differing visuals, voices, or personality tweaks between those versions?

- What are your complex psychological or spiritual feelings toward the real-world human author, animator, or actor who "created" or portrayed your identity in this world?

- and finally, How does it feel to see your literal identity, trauma, or personal history commodified and sold as merchandise, plushies, or cosplay items to people who view you purely as entertainment?

Im not a fictionkin myself, so these questions have been on my mind recently.

Hi Elliot!! I really love your art of yourself, it's so pretty and adorablee!! aaaa I'm Slushi the ice fox from Chikn Nuggit, and uh.. hehe anyways, time to answer your questionss hehe.

Number onesss, I do have memories that are not shown in my source but they're not from fanfic and all that, usually I just group all of my memories as canon but I do leave out what is not explicitly shown in the source if I have to write a fic with me in it.

I think in the second one, I do, but it's kinda personal sorry, but I've always just place those in the parallel universe category. They happened in a different universe from my source yaa.

There are two official versions of me, currently, since the full length show has not been done yet, but, my inner monologue is usually in the English voiced me and not the Español one. It does flip sometimes though so yaaa.

Personally, I don't feel all that connected to my voice actors, or really anyone involved in the show, I think they could change my voice actor 500 times and I wouldn't mind. Y'know actually I would, because that is really cruel to the voice actors. I think I am just Slushi, which is an extension of everyone who worked and is working on me, but I don't really feel like, a special attachment to any of them.

It might sound a bit weirdd, but I really love it that people would want to make fanfics and art and cosplay as me. It does sound really selfish, but I even actively seek out these things to tell them how amazing their fic or art is in the comments, hehehee, and I try my best to sound like me so they can feel validated and happy. I think its just a part of me to love and encourage all this stuff. I love being someones comfort character or entertainment, as odd as this probably sounds.
I am sex repulsed, though, but I do know that sex is a huge thing for others so I don't usually comment on nsfw art of me, but although I am a bit put off by it, I understand that its because I'm a source of comfort for them so I try to let it be and accept it.

I hope this answers your questions!!!! I hope you have an amazing day today or tommorow!!!

RE: A few questions for fictionkin.
These are very good questions! I will try to answer in the best of my ability.

- How do you distinguish between your authentic, lived memories of your source and memories "fabricated" or influenced by reading popular fan fiction, looking at fan art, or participating in the fandom?

Answer: I don't usually work too much to distinguish between either because engaging with fanworks is one way to trigger memories. I'd say it is quite easy to notice when something is off about what someone else is putting in the fandom and what I actually remember.

Basically, my immediate response to something being wrong is usually "Nope! I wouldn't do that/never did that before lol" or "Nah. I didn't do that, but it's funny that people assume I did. XD".

There's just a clear emotional response of wrongness and disbelief.

- Have you ever experienced shifts or memories from a timeline where you made a radically different choice than your character did in the official canon? How do you cope with that alternate self?

Answer: Yes, that's pretty common to happen and I'm usually chill about the changes since I don't expect my own memories to match 100% with the canon depiction of me. I just enjoy the source as usual, seeing it as a work of fiction rather than an accurate retell of the events I lived.

- If your source material has multiple adaptations (e.g., a book, an anime, a live-action movie, a video game), how does your kintype react to the differing visuals, voices, or personality tweaks between those versions?

Answer: There's a level of wrongness and rightness that mixes strangely, if you know what I mean? It's kinda like playing a game where you have to find the differences between two pictures and you just feel a few parts are slightly off, but they are similar enough for you to understand they are almost the same image.

- What are your complex psychological or spiritual feelings toward the real-world human author, animator, or actor who "created" or portrayed your identity in this world?

Answer: I avoid being too attached to the actors who portray me, but I occasionally think it's interesting to see how the creators thought of myself and what I was supposed to represent in their narrative. It does feel weird to understand I'm a fictional being and also capable of feeling like I'm so real.

I might be weird for this, but I kinda enjoy the idea of being a fiction being and having a bunch of people experiencing a parasocial relationship without knowing. It's fun in a weird way.

- and finally, How does it feel to see your literal identity, trauma, or personal history commodified and sold as merchandise, plushies, or cosplay items to people who view you purely as entertainment?

Answer: I'd say it depends a lot on which kintype. There is one that I was mad specifically because I've felt like I was too exposed to everyone. Then there's my main kintype (John Carver from Dead Space) that makes me experience a lot of shame/guilt over my actions in source and I'd really rather people didn't have to know about this.

Still, I kinda like the attention that my kintypes get, whether it's hate or love. I'm always surprised when people say good things about my kintypes and sometimes even notice I'm getting flushed. XD (Damn, fanpeople.)

Lots of complex emotions about it, if you ask me. I don't mind that the creators are getting money out of this since, for them, I'm just a symbol and not an actual real person.

I do my best to separate my own emotions from the fact that I'm seen as a fictional character.
