Hello! I have a few questions I was hoping you could answer, but sorry if they've been asked before.

First, how exactly would a past life as a fictionkin happen? I personally believe I had past lives as my kintypes on the astral plane (or maybe something else, still trying to figure it out), but I'm also interested in learning about the multiverse or other past life explanations.

Second, is it possible to have multiple kintypes from the same canon/timeline?

Thank you, and sorry again if these have been asked before.

These questions HAVE been asked before, but I'm always happy to answer them for someone who hasn't seen it discussed! Thank you so much for the ask

How would a past life as a fictionkin happen?

My personal belief, dating back to the time I entered the fictionkin community in 2006, is in the multiverse theory. I believe that there are an infinite number of coexisting realities, and that souls/spirits can move between them and be reborn from one into another. I believe that my soul (and the other souls in my 'soul cluster' that I'm connected to) have been reborn repeatedly in various universes at different times, and now have been reborn into this one.

is it possible to have multiple kintypes from the same timeline?

Frankly, there's nothing that's impossible. I used to think that multiple kintypes from one timeline was unlikely, but lately it seems more and more commonplace.

Multiple kintypes from the same timeline is very possible, the question you always have to ask is *why* would it happen?

One thing with this is to always make sure you're looking at more than one kintype, vs more than one person sharing a body each of whom can have their own kintypes.

For instance if you're a plural system, you might have several system members who each have a kintype from the same timeline, but each individual system member only has one kintype from that timeline. The *system* has multiple kintypes, but each individual has their own.

OR an individual might legitimately have more than one kintype from the same timeline. The question to ask yourself is "how did these people who were two people in that timeline come to be one person in this timeline?"

You might have multiple kintypes from one timeline if all of those characters fused into one person at some later date.

You might have multiple kintypes from one timeline if your soul was repeatedly reborn into the same timeline but as different people.

You might have multiple kintypes from one timeline if your soul split into multiple bodies for that lifetime, and then re-fused into this.

The important part when questioning something as a kintype isn't to ask "is this possible" (anything is possible), the important question to ask is "do I have an intuitive answer for why this would have happened."

Fictionkin/fictive talk (one piece)

As Sir Crocodile, I tend to feel very warmly and positively towards people's lady OCs/self-inserts that they ship with Crocodile. It honestly feels very odd to me that there's not any woman canonically in Crocodile's life, and lately I have been turning over if there's a "missing person" in my own lifetime's memories that fills that space.

[two-times-the-trouble]

What they don't tell you about being fictionkin when you start is that you will NEVER be safe from getting a new kin.

like, you'll think that you figured your kins out but out of nowhere you get jumped by two new kins and you just gotta roll with it.

Anyway so I maybe 007n7 and 118o8 on top of all my other kins,,,

Fun.

For the last couple of weeks I've been reflecting a bit on my childhood and past. Remember when I said that it was surprising that I wasn't a dog therian because I acted a lot like a dog before? I've been noticing uhhhhh behaviours and instincts I guess that I THOUGHT were catkin related, but now I'm realising that is more dog-like. Things like getting (a bit too much) excited when eating meat, those times when I was obsessed with chewing stuff and (clean) bones, barking for no reason because, fuck yeah, barking.

Also, my roommates (who know I'm nonhuman) said that I sometimes acted like a cat, no doubt, but I have "dog energy" in their eyes. Which I don't know what that means. I also sometimes do noises that are more dog-like than cat-like.

And I started considering that maybe, just maybe, I'm both a winged cat, a watcher, and a dog. Just maybe. I have to make more research on behaviours, breeds, and seeing if it's involuntarily behaviour (I'm guessing it is, but who knows), and... yeah kinsediring. Just a few thoughts.

If anyone wants to reply to this you can! Because I have a few questions for dogkins or dog therians. How did you know you were dogkin? How did you know which breed your theriotype is? How does it feel like to be a dog?
