Anonymous asked:I apologize if I sound ignorant since I’m new to this but what are your thoughts on those who have no kin memories? I…

Hi! I have a question regarding memories. I’m pretty sure what I’ve been seeing are memories but sometimes they’re from 3rd person? I know it’s def me there and I know I’m me but it’s still like seeing myself from 3rd person pov. It confuses me a little. Is that still valid? Thank you!

Hi anon! Third-person memories are something some people experience whether they’re kin or not. A memory being in third person does not make it invalid.…

Do you recommend watching the entire source of your canon before confirming/entertaining the possibility of a kintype? I have a memory of working with something like an elecmon but I don’t think that matches anyone in the anime anyway. But I don’t want to talk about what I remember and have anyone tell me it’s impossible because of something I haven’t seen? Maybe I should watch it to fact check?

Watch as much as is useful to you. No one can ‘fact check’ you and say your kintype can’t have done something just because it didn’t…

Regarding “xenomnesia”: It’s possible you have a mental connection with a character. Or empathic. Some kind of connection that let you share thoughts or memories. Or maybe even: Is there any kind of otherkin “vessel” concept in use? Channeling someone? Or having them give you thoughts/memories somehow? (I’m an empath, and I know a lot of my synpath [non-kin, but very deeply understanding] connections have this effect on me, especially my primary “soulbond”.)

Absolutely. There’s lots of reasons that this phenomenon could occur. Fictionflickers come to mind too as a possible source for xenomnesia.

Can trauma carry over into this life? For example, in my canon I was a soldier in WWII, and all of this life, long before I knew I was kin, I’ve always felt really nervous and shaky around stuff to do with that era, like if I saw stuff about it at museums something. I have PTSD in this life so I know what being triggered is like, and it honestly feels like that?? But I wasn’t sure if this was possible.

Trauma can definitely carry over between lives. Its one of the major flags of being kin. Just make sure you don’t talk over survivors from…

i have traumatic kin memories involving war, but i feel bad for even mentioning i have them, especially since its from a war that also happened in this world. i feel like if i talk about how bad it was or how it hurts me, ill get shut down and told not to be disrespectful, which i understand but, that doesnt make the pain any better :/

Anon, I understand. That’s a tough position to be in. I think that you should be able to talk about and express these experiences and…

part 1/2 Do you think its possible for hearted people to have..memories from their hearttype? It sounds weird but I have no other idea how to put it. I’m Peridot-hearted (I used to think I was kin, and this was back in that time) and I had a vision when I was handing a paper to my teacher. I had a vision of being the the spaceship as seen in Steven Universe. The hallways were a green-ish color, to my left was a window full of stars. I was in the form of a Peridot, I had holding staff

2/2 or something behind my back, I was going to bestow it upon someone. It lasted less than a second before I was escorted back…

It seems like it isn’t too uncommon for fictionkin to have negative towards a fictotype while awakening as that fictotype. You tried to convince yourself you weren’t Pearl from Steven Universe, I felt like my world was falling apart and it was hard, almost painful, for me to read or look at anything involving my fictotype, and I’ve seen other fictionkin have negative reactions while awakening as fictionkin. Have you any idea why this is?

I don’t think its too surprising that a lot of people have a negative reaction toward awakening. There are days where I feel like a…
