is it a common thing to get memories and stuff from fanworks? like, fanfiction and things like that. i read a fic for one of my fickintypes recently and it felt like i was hit with a serious case of deja vu, like i was reading a description of something that happened to me, but this only happened once i’d gotten to a certain part of the fic

Fanworks can definitely trigger memories and feelings, especially if they capture something that was meaningful to you. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re kin specifically…

Is it okay to experience memories that aren’t extremely vivid? Because I feel like I have experienced them but they’re not as vivid as I’ve seen others saying theirs are. Its more I remember certain people and places but everything is kinda fuzzy

Absolutely! Some memories are just fuzzy/distant and that’s totally okay.

What’s the weirdest fictionkin memory you have? (for both Ken and Vriska).

Ken: When I was young, right after my brother died, my parents were briefly convinced to attend a christian church. (yes, they have some of…

How do you deal with the joyful memories? I remember in vivid details, to the life, being with my husband, becoming pregnant, his eyes, his perfect brown eyes. I want that again. I can hardly bear it. This isn’t enough.

The same way I deal with painful memories, anon. Acknowledge that it happened, and try to move on. Maybe nothing compares to the feeling of…

Barrier anon again. I’m assuming what you mean by “something in my canon creating a barrier” is if something really bad happened that would cause such a thing. I guess that could relate to an experience of mine. After watching a painful episode my kin feelings kinda “shut off” for a week or two. (they came back afterwards) I kinda shut off in general. Since then I hadn’t had any clear memories, but I tried to figure it out and pick things apart, but that has not been helpful in many ways.

Yeah, that sounds like the sort of thing that could shut off memories for a while. I think you’re probably mentally protecting yourself, and you’ll…

It feels like there’s a barrier in my mind separating this life from my kin memories. While I remembered a few, it’s so darn hard to reach out to deeper memories. I have found myself feeling bad because i don’t have a lot to hold on to of my old friends, kind of like I’m losing them. Meditation isn’t really helpful either. What should I do?

Depending on what you believe, there may be an *actual* barrier between you and these deeper memories, put there for any number of reasons. Is…

Is it weird that I knew I was hollowgastkin when I was Jacob even though I didn’t know about kin and only had memories from one kintype even though Jacob was like my eighth? I wonder if it’s normal for polykin to know kintypes in a kin life? Thanks.

I don’t know enough about these specific kintypes to make a judgement about whether there is something especially strange about the relationship between them. However,…

Do fictionkin always feel familarity or déjà vu with their canon? I’ve been having few memories (though it’s rare when I have them) but none of them are triggered by my canon? Most of them are triggered by other things, such as similar events in this life, etc.

Don’t worry too much about it, canon isn’t *always* what triggers memories, though it tends to be for a lot of people. Its possible your…

Is there any good way to deal with negative kin memories andor feelings?

I find it best to deal with negative kin memories and feelings the same way I deal with negative memories and feelings in this life.…

Hi I recently found someone from my canon and we have started talking some but I keep finding myself not knowing how to keep the conversation going: do you have any fictionkin related conversation starters by any chance?

Make sure to talk to each other about things that don’t have anything to do with fictionkin sometimes, or your conversations are sure to die…
