Is it possible that I’m from a world where I have memories, but I’ve never really considered this universe “home” whenever I watch a movie from this universe? Like I was there, but I don’t have strong feelings about the universe where I used to live?

Its certainly possible. (Anything’s possible, really?) I’m not sure I’d call it being kin exactly because being kin tends to imply strong feelings, but its…

hi!! i wanted to ask a question about what language i should use if im fictionhearted. is the word ‘synpath’ used for the character that u are fictionhearted with, or is having synpaths an entirely different thing to being fictionhearted? if so, how can i tell the difference between being fictionhearted and having a synpath? also im very unsure about how to say it (is it like. rey is my synpath?? rey is a synpath i have?? my synpath is rey?? are any/all of these acceptable?) thank u in advance

For synpath, I believe ‘Rey is my synpath’ is correct usage. Having a synpath and being fictionhearted ARE different, so you wouldn’t call the person you’re…

So I recently discovered that I might be kin with someone and now I’m trying to recover memories from “my canon”. The problem is that in canon I suffered from PTSD due to severe trauma and I also do now from trauma that happened a few years ago. Could it now be that I will never be able to access those memories from my canon because of the trauma that my brain is trying to block out?

It could be that you won’t– and possibly that’s for the best. If your mind is protecting you from something its for a reason. However,…

Sorry to bother you, but I have a bit of a dilemma. I have memories I know I can access, but I’m not sure if I should. As far as I can tell, I may have witnessed the death of someone I loved–every time I come across anything in the fandom that even references that person’s death, I start feeling really panicked and upset. I think I may have blocked out the memories on purpose. … I think I held him in my arms as he died. Should I try and look into this or am I better off not knowing?

Ouch, anon, I’m saddened to hear that. :/ Honestly, the thing about bad memories is they tend to be the ones that come whether you…

Most people I know who use nounself pronouns provide an auxiliary set for people who don’t know how to use them

I like it when people do that, and as I’ve said I’m happy to use he/she/they/xe for anybody. I have seen a lot of pushy/angry…

People aren’t saying their gender is literally cat, nounself pronouns can be inspired by an identity but they aren’t implying that someone’s actual /gender/ is their kin. They’re just NB pronouns that make certain people feel the most comfortable.

I understand that is the case at least for some, and honestly I am all for self expression. My problems are outsiders thinking nounself pronouns…
