Can trauma carry over into this life? For example, in my canon I was a soldier in WWII, and all of this life, long before I knew I was kin, I’ve always felt really nervous and shaky around stuff to do with that era, like if I saw stuff about it at museums something. I have PTSD in this life so I know what being triggered is like, and it honestly feels like that?? But I wasn’t sure if this was possible.

Trauma can definitely carry over between lives. Its one of the major flags of being kin. Just make sure you don’t talk over survivors from…

can kin memories just be smells? I was thinking about my past life and I smelt fresh cut grass, really vividly, even though I was inside, and all the grass is dead in my neighbourhood.

They can definitely be just smells. Smell is our most powerful sense memory.

i didn’t believe in fictionkin but i’ve gotten some major signals that i’ve had a fictional past life and it’s kind of freaking me out. at the same time, though, i’m a bit scared that i’m just going crazy. any advice?

Take it slow, take deep breaths. I’m sorry to say it just sort of *happens* to people. If you’re experiencing things that lead you to…

I got a memory for a kintype that I had been trans in that life? But in this life Im not trans? I feel like, talking about that memory would bother people? Or seem rude?? Or something??? Since I’m not trans in this life????

Talk through your memories and feelings, talk about them. Ignore what other people think. Tag them with kin tags. Don’t tag them transgender.

I deeply wish I could find an otherkin/fictionkin forum or chat or something that was a little more… I dunno, serious? More interested in the theoretical or philosophical aspects of being kin? I’ve been visiting a kin chat recently and it’s just so completely braindead that I don’t think I’m going to stay. The overall quality of every kin community I find is so -low- that I’m beginning to get discouraged.

I know the feeling, anon. I would love to find that space, too. I feel like a lot of kin spaces start out like that…

What did it feel like when you discovered you were Pearl? I’m asking so I can compare what I’m feeling now to your latest kin awakening.

A lot of sadness, a lot of longing, a lot of emptiness. A lot of anger. Pearl from Steven Universe: *insert incoherent screaming of kin…

is seeing yourself as if you were physically a character a kin think or an aeslink thing, do you think?

Depends on if you only experience seeing yourself physically as that character. If that’s your only experience, maybe aeslink? But I have no idea really.

Hey there! So I’ve heard a lot about kin and I’m respectfully neutral on the subject. But having found you, I’m actually quite curious about something. Have you ever met anyone who is also kin with Pearl/Vriska/Kaizer and how do you go about that? Do you believe you to be the only one, the true one, or can there be multiple? I mean no disrespect, I was just wondering about this possible dilemma. Anyways, keep being you~ no matter what no one deserves to tell you who you’re supposed to be.

Hi there. Thanks for being so respectful. You can read a lot more about my beliefs and experiences on my webpage: http://fictionkin.net/ To answer your…

I’m questioning my first kin right now and I was wondering, is it normal to feel physically sick and dizzy when trying to remember something? I’ve tried remembering or writing down memories, but I feel light-headed and sick while doing so. Is this normal?

Kin memories and experiences can carry physical sensations with them, but if nausea and lightheadedness persist, make sure to visit a doctor to rule out…

I had a thought the other day. I noticed a lot of canon calls will say something like “don’t message me if you’re x age” and while I understand that from a safety perspective (minors not feeling comfortable with adults and such) I can’t help but wonder, what if your canonmates were all in that age range you don’t want to interact with and you never got to meet them because of the age difference?

Then you’re basically shit out of luck, I would guess? Sounds sad to me.
