Memory issues are funny because tbh I remember the details of my life here just as well and just as poorly as I remember the details of my kin/fictive lives.

There are actually a lot of kin memories that are way clearer than memories here.

I am a fictionkin and fictive, a person for whom in my own daily life there IS a blurred line between fiction and reality, between what I know about characters from what's written about them in their source and what I know as my own truth because I know them as people.

So why, tell me why, that 19 years later, since 2006!, why I am STILL the one here reminding people that you have to maintain a separation between those two things when discussing a piece of fiction in its context as fiction?

Your "headcanons" the things you "just know" about a character aren't TRUE in any meaningful way in terms of discussing the piece of fiction as a piece of fiction. They're not relevant facts to anyone else, they're personal.

Why am I still the one who has to be here saying this almost 20 years later?

If you're just talking about your personal experiences its fine not to acknowledge any kind of separation, but when you're dialoging with other fans or talking about the source material as a piece of fiction you have GOT to acknowledge that there's a separation.

One of the most disorienting things about a strong kin shift is when it messes with your perception of your size.

You feel internally like your body is a certain size, and then when you interact with the environment your sense-feedback disagrees with that internal self-perception. Very disconcerting.

The thing about being from a marvel universe is that time was just as fucky internally as it appears externally.

The christmases in that lifetime between 1988 and 1992 were some of the most impactful in all my lives, but I couldn't tell you how many of them there were.

You'd think the answer would be easy-- 4-- but no. The answer could be anywhere from 1-10 or more, and that number probably actively changed during the time I was still living in that universe.

That actually happened to me a couple hundred years ago

I saw a TikTok the other day with several million likes that said something along the lines of “my little sister is a therian and wearing cat ears to school and im so scared for her” and like. Weird video obviously but what really did me in was a comment that said “my younger sister was also a therian, im glad I bullied her out of it, it was for her own good :(“ and it had like several thousand likes. are you people okay. that is such a miserable way of living your life. bullying someone out of doing something is already disgusting but for it to be your younger sister, someone who looks up to you? and for what? because you’re afraid they might get bullied? congratulations! you’ve just become their first bully! you have just mocked and scared them out of a passion or something that brings them joy most likely because YOU’RE embarrassed. what an awful way to live and treat others

cannot relate to people who don't feel trapped in their own brain we are simply too different. "your brain is you" ummm no it's not? my brain is a warden enforcing my punishment for a crime i never committed and it keeps slamming its baton against the bars of my enclosure to rattle me
