What exactly should kin memories be like? Im asking because I’ve recently discovered I might be fictionkin and I’m trying to see if I get memories. Today I was focusing on trying to remember something and things automatically popped into mind. My gut feeling told me how some of the characters might’ve felt during the memory. What struck me most was the fact that someone who kins as a character from the same series remembers something that just seems “right” to me. Are these memories I’m getting?

There is nothing that kin memories ‘should’ be like. Like normal memories, they are different for everyone who experiences them. Sometimes, like you said, it just…

while tagging as kin irks me, the thing that pisses me off is that some otherkin feel like they are entitled to crop/edit an artists work to use as reaction pics in their posts. an otherkin that seems pretty popular does it and i have sent her polite asks about it before and surprise, no response! way to show you know what you’re doing is wrong and that you don’t give a shit about artists.

People using other artists fanart as reaction images is definitely rude. If you display another artist’s work, give credit at least, and try to seek…
