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 is something seeming *right*. As far as I’m concerned that’s the most basic form of memory. Sometimes I’ll have no idea I remember something until someone mentions it– and then I’ll be like either ‘oh! that’s right!’ or ‘no, that doesn’t sound right’.

Some people have very visual memories, and experience visual flashbacks to events and experiences they had in their kin lives.

Memories can also be experienced in other ways; memories of the sound of someone’s voice, or the smell of the rain on a particular planet. Memories of what the touch of someone’s glove felt like. 

Anything like that can be memory.
