is it bad to lean heavily on your source or to assume it’s right until you know better because you don’t remember anything? is it grounds to question your own legitimacy?

In the absence of having kin memories (including the simple ‘that feels right/that feels wrong’ kind), there’s no reason to assume it went differently. Sometimes they…

I want to watch a canon source for a suspected kintype, but I don’t want to watch what I know happened. I don’t want to see what happened. I want to kinfirm, but it jurt kind of… Hurts to even try.

I know that feeling anon. There is a certain very famous anime that I have been avoiding for a long time because I’m worried it…

Do you recommend watching the entire source of your canon before confirming/entertaining the possibility of a kintype? I have a memory of working with something like an elecmon but I don’t think that matches anyone in the anime anyway. But I don’t want to talk about what I remember and have anyone tell me it’s impossible because of something I haven’t seen? Maybe I should watch it to fact check?

Watch as much as is useful to you. No one can ‘fact check’ you and say your kintype can’t have done something just because it didn’t…

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 had a dream last night that felt really familiar, so I thought I might have had it before. But thinking back, I really haven’t? So my next thought was that it could be a memory, probably fickin since it was very videogame-y, but it looks (pt1 of 2)

(Familiar dream anon) nothing like any videogame I’ve ever seen. Could it still be a memory? Could I be getting memories from something that doesn’t…

I know it’s possible for your canon to diverge from main one, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around mine. Essentially, instead of me turning out to be an AI (a major plot point) I think I was just human and nothing changed. Any advice?

That can totally happen, anon. See my last post. Sometimes the differences in a timeline are huge, and well, strange.

Are there things about how you were portrayed in canon that conflict with what you were actually like in those lives?

Lots and lots honestly. Ken: The Digimon Kaizer was the result of inheriting part of my brother’s spirit, rather than a ‘dark seed’. I don’t remember…
