I feel really concerned about how little kin history seems to be out there amidst the aesthetics and vent posts, but at the same time i dont think that kind of fun is the real problem. Do you think if i made a kin history facts blog it might help?

I think a kin history facts blog would be a WONDERFUL idea.

The word for having someone else’s memories is called “cryptomnesia”. There’s even a Wikipedia page about it.

from wikipedia: Cryptomnesia occurs when a forgotten memory returns without it being recognized as such by the subject, who believes it is something new and…

Regarding “xenomnesia”: It’s possible you have a mental connection with a character. Or empathic. Some kind of connection that let you share thoughts or memories. Or maybe even: Is there any kind of otherkin “vessel” concept in use? Channeling someone? Or having them give you thoughts/memories somehow? (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.

Is it possible to not realize you’re kin with a character right away? I had finished a game and while I thought this character was interesting and the world was very easy to become immersed in, I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary. Now I’m replaying it, months later, and I’m suddenly hit by vivid memories and feelings.

Absolutely. Sometimes it doesn’t hit you right away, the time has to be right for it to get you.

I’m kin with a character, but I have memories of being another character from the same canon. However, I’m pretty sure I’m not kin with them. Is there a name for having memories that aren’t yours?

As far as I’m aware, there’s not a word for this, but I think one would be really useful Amnesia- meaning not remembering- is from…

I think it’s cool how you treat people with weird kintypes with the same respect you’d treat anyone else. I’ve seen “elders” in the kin community talk about how they’d reject people whose kintypes were too “out there”, and I think that’s incredibly unfair. I mean, nobody HAS to accept anyone else, but… it’s just really hypocritical, you know? Even those “good” and “allowable” kintypes are batshit to people outside of the community.

Even those “good” and “allowable” kintypes are batshit to people outside of the community. Exactly, anon. In my worldview, thanks to multiverse theory, there’s just…

Is there a word for identifying as a fictional species, or fictional race of beings? Not one that was in canon, but someone from their same world. Is that still fictionkin? Is there a word for “I identify as that kind, but not that individual”? Also, is there a word for identifying as a fictional animal species? Is that fictionkin or therian?

is it possible to have a crush on your own kintype? like maybe before you discovered you’re kin with a character you had a crush on them?

Happens fairly often. Not knowing why you’re drawn to something can often be interpreted as feelings of romantic attraction.

This isn’t exactly fictionkin related but uh. How would one “channel” a character and mentally swap with them, for example to harness their strengths or something? To take on their identity for a while? What would that be called or like, do you know where I could start searching for information?

That’s called copinglink if you want to draw strength from and ‘become’ the character. Check tumblr #copinglink for more information Or if you want the character…
