(1/2) Hey there! I’m questioning if I’m kin (specifically w/ Bee from Bee and Puppycat and Amethyst from Steven Universe). However, I don’t have any memories from their canons. For Bee, whenever I watch the show I get this very slight sense of deja vu, like what I’m watching is from a dream I had that I’ve almost completely forgotten.
2/2) For Amethyst, it’s not the same case. There are times where I feel I literally am her, but that doesn’t happen often or for very long. Sometimes I’ll catch myself feeling crappy over her problems as if they were my own and if I stumble upon fan work of my NOTP w/ her, I get really uncomfortable as if it was with me and the feeling happens quite often. I feel like I’m not kin since I don’t have any of their memories. Thoughts?
Amethyst and Bee anon here, what I meant to say on part 2 was that I felt I can’t be kin with them because I don’t have memories from the canon. Thank you for your time!
Hey there. ^^
Firstly I want to say, memories aren’t always the ‘be all and end all’ of being fictionkin, they’re important, but not having clear, strong, or obvious memories when you are first awakening doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not that person. Sometimes it takes time for memories to surface. Sometimes memories aren’t visual, but rather kinetic, or sense-based instead.
Lets address Bee first. The feeling of ‘deja vu’ or a dream forgotten is definitely enough of a lead to start wondering if you are kin of her. Take your time and don’t jump to any conclusions. Examine your feelings, meditate, watch the source material again. Compare your feelings to other feelings you have. See if it matches up or carries you away. Its all part of the awakening process. Sometimes it can take a long time to determine if you;re really kin or not.
As for Amethyst, with the very limited, sporadic feelings you discuss, its likely there is something other than kinship going on here. Don’t get me wrong, its always possible you’re kin of her, but it sounds more like you might have a latent soulbond. Try to see if you feel Amethyst ‘with’ you instead of a part of you. Talk to her in your mind and see if she talks back. You can also explore kinship feelings too, just like you would with Bee.
The best thing during any Awakening process is not to rush things just to say you’re definitely kin of someone. Its okay to be questioning for a while.
