I am kin with Dave, Kanaya and Gamzee

Sollux WAS my moirail in my Gamzee timeline

I was good friends with Jade in my Kanaya timeline

I was in love with Karkat in my Dave timeline

the memories I’ve had in my dreams are definitely memories

Hey, long time no see! I’ve been doing fine, haven’t been on Tumblr much but I’m doing well!! 

As for your question- I’d say it’s best to trust your gut, maybe try to pursue the memory later with a memory walk. If you’ve seen it there before, do it again but make sure to focus on it so you can find what’s consistent. Pendulums have various factors that affect their accuracy- whether they work well with you, or their user; whether the question was phrased in a way that would provide a clear answer, things like that. Especially when asking about possible memories- you can get conflicting or confusing responses if the memory isn’t 100% accurate. 

For example, I’ve recalled details from two different memories, but they rushed at me so strongly they mushed together into one big fake-memory that almost didn’t make sense. I had asked my own pendulum if it was a memory, and since it gave me an uncertain answer I had to break it down into clarifier questions. For example, saying ‘was that a memory of that person I saw?’ Or ‘was x event happening a memory?’ ‘Was this from different points in time?’ Etc.

I reconfirmed my eridan Captor timeline, since I haven’t had any kinfeels or memories for it.

I also have some new kintypes I’m questioning/going to confirm? I’m a bloodswap Karkat (didn’t ask which since I’d been wearing out by then) and Jade Lalonde (pretty strong kinfeels for her.) I might also have a Beforan bloodswap timeline.

and now on for memories and kinfeels I confirmed!!

I had a memory session for my Kanaya tl - basically recalled finding my lusus dead (similar to canon), and how I Godtiered (To Put It Simply, It Was Not Fun And People Died For-Good). So I confirmed and sorted the facts out on the godtiering.

My Meenah timeline - I was definitely troll, was Matesprits with Aranea and I had scars on my face from a fight with Damara (might’ve been the one like in canon)

Eridan Leijon timeline - I did like fishing though I didn’t swim, I had an Aradia Zahhak in my timeline (along with an Equius Megido) - Aradia and I had been matesprits before she broke up with me. She was the one who gave me the pendant. My otter dad did die violently, and was killed by another troll - I don’t know who. I was still a Prince of Hope?

Eridan Captor timeline - I had bitone glasses, normal troll eyes, and powers that were not psiionic. I still experienced headaches though. There was possibly a Sollux Ampora and a Karkat Maryam in this timeline.

Humanstuck Nepeta timeline - I named my second cat, an orange kitten, Karkat, after someone else. Not sure if friend, coworker or other.

Johnny Crocker timeline - I did go crockertier, I was a knight of life, and I used a spoon presumably as a weapon. (I also asked if I shared a tl w someone I know and got a yes, which would be the second confirmation on the matter.)

other things:

I am not Jade Harley kin (but I think I was getting my Jade lalonde feels confused)

I also asked if I had my understanding of kin correct, and if my brain was translating or processing anything weird - Jade gave me a strong no, which made me feel better.

And that was most of it for tonight!!

First of all, I asked Gemini Jade if vague questions, such as ‘am I a bloodswap’ or ‘am I one of the beta kids’ were too vague - Gemini Jade confirmed that questions like that were too vague to give a good answer. Good to know!! 

tbh, I already knew/figured vague questions weren’t helpful for solid answers, this is something my mom taught me ages ago - but I wanted to know if I could possibly ask vague questions to narrow the field down. I guess not, but that’s not a big deal.

I gave the initial reading for my friend, and then went on to confirm things I asked in last session, such as!

my being kin with John Egbert - got a strong positive again for that one! This made me pretty happy.

I asked about Karkat Vantas - got more of a maybe on that one. I may need to ask about Karkat swaps, though it’s possible I’m not Karkat. 

I also decided to ask about Eridan Captor, got more of a ‘no’ on that one. I’m not too worried about that one.

I’m also wondering how accurate Gemini Jade’s readings are if the kin maybe hasn’t been fully realized or considered. For example, I connect and think a lot about John, and as a fellow Breath player, I feel a pretty strong connection there. I’ve questioned if I’m kin with him before. In Karkat’s case, I think about him a lot and relate to him on a certain level - but my feelings towards him might be affected by my strong leftover emotions from Dave. In the case of Eridan C, I’d never even considered any of the bloodswaps prior to tonight, so I haven’t really had time to think or process the idea. 

I’m NOT kin with:

 Eridan Ampora

Nepeta or Meulin Leijon

Mituna Captor

Dirk Strider

I got weird answers for whether I was kin with:

bloodswaps, leijons, captors (I think these were too vague for Gemini Jade to give good responses to lmao) 

Sollux - there was a brief diagonal/yes swing for him ( I had closed my eyes when asking, so I only briefly caught the answer - closing my eyes helps me focus lol), but when I pursued it further I got stoic or more negative responses. Gemini Jade can be a bit moody when I repeat questions in one session, so I’m not sure if it was because of that or if I maybe gave mixed signals/muddled thoughts.

I got positive answers for:

John! - I was surprised and reworded as ‘John Egbert’, and got a stoic response, but again Gemini Jade gets moody about repeat questions so I didn’t worry about it. It wasn’t a direct negative, and when I returned to just ‘John’ I got more positive swings. (I suppose it COULD be a kid/bloodswap, but I was thinking strongly of the windy boi himself so I doubt it.  )

Karkat - another one I was surprised by! I’d asked about this one after John and Sollux, so I decided to refrain from pushing it - I’d been asking Gemini Jade a lot today as it was lmao. I got a pretty positive swing though.

I’m thinking I may revisit some of these at a later date (Sollux, John, Karkat, I’m lookin at you), given how much I bombarded Gemini Jade with questions.
