Your blog is awesome and I’m enjoying reading what you post, but I’m curious – why do you offer rebuttals to comments like ‘Otherkin is a mental illness’ and so on so often? It seems like tiring and thankless work, and kinda like trying to mop up an ocean with a tissue. Wouldn’t it be wiser to just let them be wrong elsewhere?

(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.
