hello! this may seem like a silly question but i was wondering if its okay to have really strong emotional reactions to your canon and memories and such? like i tell myself to “get over it, that life is over” but i sometimes think of something that happened in canon or one of my memories. or think about people i loved. and occasionally i’ll just break down crying because of canonsickness. i guess i’m just looking for validation that its ok to feel that way at times? do you ever experience this?

Anon, my friend, this is completely normal and okay. I, and a lot of people, get upset about things that happen in canon, and memories, a lot. As a Homestuckkin, I was out of commission for two days when it recently ended, and I’m really still not over it.

Kin stuff makes me cry all the time. It also makes me smile, and laugh. Deep emotions about our kin lives are part of what make us kin.

I get a lot of asks to this blog about how to cope with feelings of loss and sadness relating to kintypes and canons, so please, anon, don’t feel alone or judged for your feelings. We’re all here for you.
