I want to come out to my dad but it seems nearly impossible

Rant

I need tips on how to come out to my dad (as fictionkin), who is the person I trust the most... I'm really tired of hiding important aspects of my identity and I'm getting desperate

Please note that I'm not willing to send any videos or websites explaining what fictionkin is, it's gonna be really tiring for my dad to read about labels and I don't want him to accept me just because he feels forced to. I also don't know when to tell him, since if I do it at a random moment it'll probably be even more awkward..

Any tips will be appreciated, I really want to come out but in a way that I don't sound delusional and it doesn't seem too awkward (and please don't say "there's no way to come out as fictionkin without sounding like you're delusional", if you have no tips then simply don't comment)

(Forgot to mention, I also won't use the actual definition of fictionkin. I want to sugarcoat it a bit because I'm very insecure. I also don't want to jump into stuff too quickly so I'll start by telling him something simple about it even tho I have no idea what that's gonna be)
