How old were you when you awakened to your first kintype? Do you feel like you were ready?

I was around 21 years old. I was fresh out of college and working as a part-time night security guard, snuggled up to Jas for a long night of watching some classic anime on my day off. We'd been watching a lot of anime lately, and Jas decided to put on the Slayers movies, thinking I'd enjoy them.

I remember settling in and watching as the movie started and hearing this GODAWFUL LAUGH. Just the most obnoxious Ohohohoho laugh I've ever heard. And I felt my stomach drop. I felt bone deep embarrassment wash over me as it panned over. I knew, against all logic, what was coming. And when I was greeted with Naga the Serpent's first scene i went **fuck**.

And it all came tumbling down. I wasn't ready, and it's been a hell of a ride since then.

So I would consider my awakening to be very recent. I'm sure I'm still waking up in a sense and I'm definitely still filtering things out.
But it was just from casual conversation with desire a (few) month(s?) ago where it made me more aware things I had experienced since childhood wasn't exactly considered the norm. And since then I have been a lot more aware of myself and found out a lot. It kinda just kicked me from my state of "it doesnt really matter/its just fake" that had been absorbed from everything around me, and made me actually listen to parts of myself and feelings I was ignoring.
Had I awakened fully to this sort of thing and known at the young age I first experienced stuff I think I would have been even less ready than I am now. Not to even get to far into what my beliefs were at the time and how hard it would have clashed.
Now, though I'm not sure I'll ever be ready, I feel I'm in a way better place to become more ready and to figure more of this stuff out.

Oh boy! Good question.

So, 2015. I browsing tumblr when I saw a post with a ton of notes talking about this game called Undertale that just released. I remember seeing the trailer and going 'huh, this is cute and it reminds me of Earthbound, I should play it!'. I have a day off, so I pick it up that day and begin playing.

From the very beginning of the game, I became extremely emotional, which is very odd for me. I didn't really grasp what I was supposed to do in the fight against Toriel, so I ended up killing her, and it made me completely distraught. I put down the game for a few hours after it because I was so upset. That was my first tip that something was... Off about this.

After I took a break, I kept playing, and I ended up doing an entire playthrough (about 6 hours) in one sitting. I went to bed, woke up the next day, and ended up doing the true pacifist run. I don't cry when it comes to media very often. So when I tell you that when I saw the player hug Asriel in the end, and I got brief flashes of actually hugging him, feeling his fur on my face... I bawled. I sat there and cried for quite a while.

About a week passes, and Undertale is still on my mind. I end up doing the route where you kill everyone, and seeing Chara. I was wildly intrigued by them. Who were they? Why are they being portrayed like this? Are they really some kind of world destroying demon? In the back of my mind I knew that wasn't true. They loved their brother and wanted to free their family, right?

My brain just kept feeding me this information, and it came to a point where I just... Ignored it. I stuffed it away because I thought I was obsessed with the game. But the longer I disconnected myself, the more questions I had. After a few months went by, I saw that one of my friends was talking about being kin with Asriel, and their experiences as him. After a couple days of struggling with myself, I asked them about it, and we ended up talking about what I remembered. They told me I was very likely fictionkin, and that trying to repress it probably would do more harm than good.

After I accepted that I was very likely Frisk in the past, the memories came flooding in. I really wish I would have kept a log of everything I remembered. What my first awakening really taught me, is that seeing people happy and making memories with people important to me is a huge part of my life. Since that awakening, I've been much more social, and I always want to do things with the people I love. It's really helped me learn about myself and what I enjoy doing.
