An Observational Study on Fictoreligions

by: Tule

This is an amateur study not affiliated to any persons or institutions.

The purpose of this sociological research is to document and understand what is the Fictoreligion Community, why beings (see dictionary) might identify with a fictoreligion, and what activities they perform related to their faiths. 

Although this research focuses on the community directly connected to that label, the chapters “Intersectionality with Systemhood” and “Intersectionality with Pop Culture Paganism” explore the existence of beings who relate with fictional religions or entities way before the term was coined.

Methods of study: observing the tags ‘fictoreligion’ and ‘neoreligion’ on Tumblr, as well as a public* fictoreligion Discord Server owned by the coiner of the term; interviewing the label's coiner. (see dictionary)

*as of April 8, 2024

DO NOT HARASS ANY INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS MENTIONED.

Introduction

“Fictoreligion” (FR) is a label coined by Kai on xry Tumblr page @/redacted-coiner on January 27, 2024, to describe real-world religions based on fictional media. 

Transcription from a part of xry coining post:

“Ficto-Religions, a term to refer to religons/neoreligons found in fictional sources and/or religions that are based off religious mediums! These are commonly non practiced religions within this world but does not mean they are never practiced. These religions should not be moderated , rather these shall only be something that someone should inner personally use (of course multiple people can use it but it should stick to one person to one person).

Note: These are NOT Fults/Cults. Do not use them as if they are!”[1]

Moreover, according to Kai xemself, xry rule that “FRs should not be moderated” means that FRs must not have groups with leaders, in order to “prevent unintended cult-like situations”.[1]

Term etiquette

Kai has stated that xe does not want xry term connected in any way to the creation of, compared to, or facilitating relationships that resemble cults or fults (see dictionary). Considering that the FR community is very supportive of this rule, breaking it would cause a negative reaction from other members and arise conflict.

A few statistics

As of April 6, 2024, Kai's coining post has received exactly a hundred notes (interactions) on Tumblr. Moreover, there is evidence of more than 60 FRs announced on either Tumblr or the Discord server, meaning that an average of 15 FRs per month have been created so far since the label's inception. Although only a few users other than Kai have coined FRs yet, they commonly have done so at the requests of other beings. The exact number of FR adepts is unknown. (Hey does anyone wanna do the research?)

The complexity of FRs 

Internet coining hobbyists exhibit a lot of creative freedom with their terms surrounding specific topics of interest, and this is also true for FR coiners. For example, Kai's “Writer's Faith” religion is both meta- (referring to the paradox of creating fiction creating reality) and self-centered (self as referring to the adept themselves, not Kai). Xe also coined “Parable's Blessings”, a FR based around Parable, the mascot xe created to represent the community. 

Sub-groups, or perhaps branches, have been created to multiple FRs, like Revive the Old Faith (a FR based on Cult of the Lamb) and the Genshin Belief (FR based on Genshin Impact).

Intersectionality with Systemhood

A considerable number of fictives heavily identify with their sources, including the faiths presented in them (but a fictive may also feel disconnected from source and still identify with its religions). A fictive from the Discord server mentioned worshiping their entity in source (thus carrying the worship into this world); another fictive, a Jedi whose source is Star Wars, mentioned that a pre-established Jedi faith exists in real life, but she doesn't identify with that community since her experience is different, reason being that she actually is from the Star Wars universe.

Systems are extremely diverse, both intra-system (inside the system, “alter-to-alter”) and extra-system (outside the system, “system-to-system”). A single system can feature devotees to multiple FRs, followers of pre-established religions and atheists, agnostics, etc. 

Proving one more example, according to another Discord member the following scenario is real (Tule is not using his words, it's just interpreting what he said):

In a system, there are fictives from source A and B, all connected to their respective sources. Almost all fictives from B follow one of its religions, except for “Jane” who follows a religion from A.

Intersectionality with Pop Culture Paganism (PCP)

When Kai was asked on xry coining post if FR was related to pop culture paganism, xe answered: “can be, matters on someone’s view of things. Being they may not attach it to paganism.”[1]

Some adepts of neopaganism or neopagan faiths, chaos magick, etc, also work with deities and spirits first seen in fiction (like Lovecraft's Cthulhu) for a variety of reasons, such as: believing that the author was inspired by the spirit, believing the spirit sprung into reality via the collective subconscious (an egregore; see dictionary), that the character manifests an abstract concept or collection of concepts, or that the character is or represents an aspect/mask of a real spirit. (Source: neopagan community and headmate lol)

The perspective of FR adherents

Some beings follow FRs for the comfort they provide.

The way a FR is practiced varies from adept to adept, but common activities include building digital or physical altars to worshiped entities and creating sigils.

Here's an interview Tule did with Kai:

Q: What sparked your desire to coin Fictoreligion? 

A: I made it due to the fact I have always struggled with religious traumas and I didn’t feel personally safe with anything that was pre-established. I made the term  being it was one of the few things I understood and gave me personally comfort. I have always viewed religious beliefs as something that gives you comfort, so the term was made for that. It gives me comfort.

Q: Did you already have a fictoreligion even before coining the term, or have seen other beings with experiences similar to what fictoreligion describes?

A: Sorta? It was never really put into words but I had seen a character as a religious figure but I never went into it until I coined the post. Now that it is I feel more comfortable doing religious things related to it.

Q: What is your favorite part/aspect of the fictoreligion(s) you have? 

A: Mainly the interpersonal freedom, I don’t feel trapped within the rules of other religions. With the ones I fallow I feel comforted by the those who I account as it’s deities. Such as in Lovingcrafian, I feel comforted in my relationships even more now due to how I perceive them.

Q: We all know that it's really validating to have words to describe our experiences. So, do you think that there might be a considerable number of beings who would benefit from finding the label? Perhaps reaching a thousand or more? 

A: While I don’t think it’ll be a lot, I want the term just to be a thing that gives people answers. I realistically know it won’t be used widely, but if it ever got there, it’d be something that’d give me peace. Being that’d also just mean that people are more accepting of more neoreligons in general.

Q: Tule has noticed a similarity between Parable and egregories; which are spirits created by us that grow self-awareness and can interact with others. That might be just a coincidence, but since you coined Parable's Blessings, do you personally believe that Parable has grown to be a real spirit too?

A: I don’t entirely believe in Parable’s Blessing myself, Parable is a mascot I made for fun and I realized that some may end up seeing her as a religious figure. A lot of stuff I make I may personally not believe in but know there is a possibility that others may. If Parable ends up becoming a religious figure for someone and become a spirt/egregirories I’d be happy. Being that means that Parable gave people comfort in some shape or form.

Conclusion 

The community surrounding the Fictoreligion label may be small, but the experiences its members share are much older and common than outsiders may expect when first stumbling upon it. Systems and neopagans (especially those interested in chaos magick, egregores etc), are demographics that might feel more familiarity with the label than the average population.

Dictionary

Alterhuman: a sentient being who physically possesses a human body but does not identify 100% with humanity may choose this label to describe themself.[2]

Being: in this context, it is synonymous with “individual”, as an alternative of “person” inclusive of alterhuman and nonhuman identities.

To coin: to create a label/word/term. 

Egregore: “a concept in Western esotericism of a non-physical entity or thoughtform that arises from the collective thoughts and emotions of a distinct group of individuals.” (Paraphrased from Wikipedia)

Fult: abbreviation of “faux-cult”. According to its coiner, “faux cults, also called fults, are groups that exhibit cult-like characteristics, resembling a cult in behavior or structure; however, are not considered a true cult due to being consensual.” The term was created by Tumblr user @/sheyoves on December 16, 2023.[3]

fuck it we ball

this blog is actually run by a plural system

members:

Alyssa - She/He/They, caminustrigender (boyflux, girlflux, aesthetifluid), our host

Thomas - He/him, cis boy, our worksona who attained sentience

Olivia - She/her, trans woman, tired librarian, sometimes our protector

Sky - He/They/Ae (Ae/Em/Eir/Eirs/Emself), cielgender, he's just a small puppy ok

Susie - She/Her, trans girl, bi lesbian swag. She started off as a FNaF fictive but is now mostly divorced from her source.

Hazel - She/her, trans girl, practicing Wiccan, cottagecore

Adrian - He/him, fictive of Nerd from Boyfriends

Dustin - He/him, cis man, he's southern for some reason, don't ask

Nyx - It/its, divinekin and divinegender/kingender. Not the Nyx from Greek mythology, its a god from another universe that just picked the name Nyx cause it liked it.

The Lamb - They/Them (with reverential capitalization.) They're a Cult of the Lamb fictive, generally evil in a cute lovable sort of way. Also for some reason none of us can pinpoint at some point They developed a British accent and we're all just sort of running with it now

Patrick - He/Him. Matpat fictive. Yes we are cringe. No we will not apologize.

Also sometimes we blend; the most important blended identities are Lilian (Olivia/Alyssa, She/They, does most of our writing, the main way Olivia fronts since she finds it dysphoric fronting alone) and Aether (Sky/Thomas, He/They/Ae, even more of a horny bottom puppyboy than Sky is.)

Mostly it'll be Alyssa, Thomas, and Susie fronting but we like to make these things as exhaustive as possible lol

It's About Time We Redo Our Introduction.

Old Intro Post

Hello, we (as we've recently discovered as of this post being made) are The Burrow. Hosted by Jack/Blankie (he/they/hy). We collectively have Autism and have our suspicions about ADHD as well, but the only confirmation we have is for Autism.

Further Info Under The Cut

We enjoy many fandoms/medias, to list more than a few: Object Shows (BFDI, II, BURNER, ITFT etc.), Final Fantasy 7, Regretevator, Phighting, Slay The Princess, TMA/TMP, Spider-Man, Cult Of The Lamb, Inscryption, FAITH The Unholy Trinity, Hollow Knight, Madness Combat, Katamari Games, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Little Big Planet, Detroit Become Human, ETC.

We primarily reblog things, but we do post our own art or other works occasionally. An additional note being that if art is made by or of an alter, it will most likely (not always, we are forgetful) be tagged with #system art .

We are not always active, and very often have long times of inactivity for several different reasons, usually motivation or school.

If you have any questions about certain alters or us in general, you are free to ask (though please note we are not obligated to answer if we find it invasive or inappropriate!). We plan to make either a specific blog or a page where we can list all of us, but for now, this is our Pluralkit (note: our PK has suspected/unconfirmed as well as subsystem members, not all profiles are completed here, hence our plan to make a page or list sometime, haha.)

Blogs we run/used to run: The Stim Burrow (Hiatus), Blankieskirbygijinkas (Inactive), Blankiesmadcom (Inactive). (Inactive blogs still have art on them that we did not post to main.)

[gluttonyedits]

Are you comfortable doing requests with the source cult of the lamb? Asking because a fictive is interested in an NPT themed after the character Narinder / The One Who Waits. If not, feel free to decline

While I am fine doing Cult of the Lamb, I’m not really up for doing NPTs of sources that I don’t know, because it requires a lot of knowledge of a character for me. Sorry. But feel free to request something else.
