for me (not the same anon), i’m not down with your whole “or you would have two individual headmates” definition because my headmates are not me so they wouldn’t be my past lives or whatever. even if i had a headmate who was the same person i’m ficitonkin of, that headmate would be different and not me. ymmv of course.
No, I completely agree with this. I worded the previous answer generously to allow for someone who hadn’t considered the possibility that the people they considered kin identities were separate people yet. Sometimes it takes people a surprisingly long time to realize they are actually sharing headspace.
