Why be human when I can be...

*checks long list of kin types I'm kinsidering*

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.

I'm kinda lost at the moment because there's so many bird species and I don't really know what to look for. there's so many bird behaviors that I just match with several classes (mostly corvids, to be honest...) and species. so I asked myself, what better way to get information than from the source themselves?

so I wanted to ask bird therians:

1. how did you discover your bird species? what bird behaviors do you exhibit?

2. do you have any sources to look for species? maybe a website or a book somewhere I can look at for research?

3. do you experience phantom limbs? (I get wings and talons all the time bc I'm a watcher)

4. how do you narrow down the species? through behaviour, appearance, or something else?

Or I'm a dog and a cat....

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,,,
