About kin memories being less visual/sensory and more-so just ‘feelings’, how can you tell the difference between a headcanon and a memory?

A headcanon is something you came up with, and a memory is something you just sort of ‘know’ or ‘feels right’ I guess?

is there any ways to trigger kin memories?not in a harmful way. I recently got memories for a new kintype and I really want to know more but haven’t been getting anything.

There’s always a risk of upsetting yourself when you deliberately go to trigger memories. But the least harmful way is probably through meditation, or meditative…

@the anon with third person memories: I literally have no memories that are NOT in the third person, so I don’t think it’s too much of an issue; even when I dream or imagine something, usually it’s in 3rd person if I’m in it. I think I’ve had one meditation session where I was looking out my own eyes, but that’s it. I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you, or anyone else in the same situation~

Thanks for the input anon! I’m still planning a more full post on this phenomenon. ^^

a lot of my childhood memories (from this life) tend to be in 3rd person, the only way I can remember them, but I have a couple others that might be kin memories, but are in 3rd person too. Do you think they could still be real memories?

Anon, I wouldn’t worry too much. A significant number of people experience memories, especially early memories, from a third person perspective. I’m one of these…

Does every fictionkin have to have memories that later happen the showseriesetc?

Not every fictionkin has memories/has to have memories at all. I talk about memories a lot because they’re important to me, and my identity. They’re…

Does not the research about how memories can be falsely implanted and people can be easily convinced of things they didn’t do, invalidate kin “memories”?

Not particularly. If I wanted to get all woo-woo about it, I could say that we have no way of knowing if all ‘falsely implanted’ memories…

do dreams count as ways to experience memories? I’ve had some dreams from the point of view of my fickin type but they were also in the middle of a nonsensical dream. I should obviously be skeptical but how skeptical is the question

Dreams absolutely count, and are a normal way that a lot of us who have memories get them. However, not every dream you have about…

What exactly should kin memories be like? Im asking because I’ve recently discovered I might be fictionkin and I’m trying to see if I get memories. Today I was focusing on trying to remember something and things automatically popped into mind. My gut feeling told me how some of the characters might’ve felt during the memory. What struck me most was the fact that someone who kins as a character from the same series remembers something that just seems “right” to me. Are these memories I’m getting?

There is nothing that kin memories ‘should’ be like. Like normal memories, they are different for everyone who experiences them. Sometimes, like you said, it just…
