Feelings that are not my own...

[blondferret]

Derek Matthews March 11, 2019 near Tisse

So general questions for you guys. Has anyone had a huge time jump in their memories suddenly? Most of my memories have been of a teenager between 12-17 years old. Now he's like... in his late 30's early 40's? Second question... has anyone had memories of a spouse and kids? Because the guy in my memories had a wife and a son... apparently. Third question: Did any of you start feeling your other self's feelings for their spouse for over two days straight? I mean, man did this guy love his wife. Which is nice I guess for him... but dang. Has anyone else had to experience this?

I can't speak much about the first two questions, but in terms of feeling emotions towards someone that your past self cared about really deeply... I can't say that I've felt those emotions for two days straight?

Like they were strong when I remembered having feelings for my SO, but not to the extent that they lasted for a full two days.

[blondferret]

I wonder why it is going on for so long. I mean, it is a bit distracting. But at least I know he loved her. It's just, these aren't my feelings.

[dereban]

Maybe some sort of after effect of the memory or something?

[blondferret]

Well it can end anytime now. I get it, he really loved his wife. And he misses her A LOT!

[...Man, he's been talking to you a lot lately, hasn't he.]

I know that I was married in my past life. I don't know how it came to be, or whether any children resulted from it. But there's a girl in my memories that I know is my sister-in-law, and I have a strong memory of a woman that looked just like her trying to save my life. So I assume we got married eventually.

[blondferret]

[Yes, yes he has. Derek is slowly pulling this guy into a friendship!]

You've actually seen her in your memories?

[Derek hasn't actually SEEN Astoria. Just keeps hearing about her.]

[armati]

Yes. Her name was Celica. She lived in a village near a place I ended up once. She had long black hair and golden eyes, and she was incredibly kind.

[blondferret]

[Golden eyes? That's a thing?]

So how did you react to learning this information about your other self? Having a significant other and all?

I've had a time jump in my memories, but not by that much. I'd estimate that it's around ten years, maybe a little less?

I didn't have a wife or experience emotions for that long, but I did have a woman I was seeing. I couldn't tell you much about our interactions, however, since I haven't remembered them. Have you remembered a lot about your past life's wife?

[blondferret]

I've remembered some things. I remembered a conversation he was having with...a guy who I thought he really hated. He was talking about his wife, in the past tense. She apparently died of a serious Blood malediction. Caused by some ancestor being cursed. So to make sure he wasn't alone when she died, they decided to have a child. Doing so weakened her, but they were happy. Really happy.

[scythegun]

I see. It sounds difficult to remember something like that. Do you remember much about the child?

[blondferret]

Only from what I can glean from the conversation. His name was Scorpius. Draco was very protective of him, especially because some of some rumor. Though I don't know what the rumor is. It wasn't good though.

[thisloveisjustice]

Sort of? It was a good eight months are so until I got any memories from his childhood. Up to that point they were all from his adult life.

No spouse or kids though.

[blondferret]

So the other way around compared to me. At least logically you knew at some point he was a child. I was convinced for the longest time that Draco had died at the age of 17.

[thisloveisjustice]

But then after you knew he didn't... didn't you wonder what he might be like as an adult?

[blondferret]

Dude, after he didn't die from that incident, I was wondering if he was going to survive being 18! He had a crazy evil wizard using his parents house as a home bases. They wizard killed people and then had his snake eat them.

[standalonehuman]

Yeah. Did you meet up with Hikari when she was here? Or that we believed she was here? She is the other Togusa's daughter, not mine. Or, at least, she looks just like his daughter.

So, yeah. I get it.

[blondferret]

No, I didn't know she was around. I haven't even had memories of Draco's son. Or his wife. It's just the topic of what Draco is talking about, with a person I didn't expect him to be talking to about such personal matters.

How did you react when you learned your other self had a child?

[standalonehuman]

It suddenly explained a lot of things. I understood what was driving the man, when I hadn't been able to put my finger on it before. It made a lot of sense that he was a dad.

[There is a lot more to his intial reaction and his ongoing issues with the other Togusa's fatherhood than that, but Togusa isn't going to make this about him.]

What about for you? Can you pretty easily see that guy as a father?

[frostythehitman]

i do have a lot of big time jumps in my memories
some of them have filled in but a lot of them probably never will
and i do remember taking care of some kids but i don't remember all the details
i don't think they were my kids but i was definitely acting like their dad
but no to the last one
guess i lucked out there for once

[blondferret]

How big of time jumps? How many kids? and YOU LUCKY PERSON! This has been going on for two days!

[frostythehitman]

the biggest one used to be about 20 years
now that i've remembered more it's not that big but most of my memories are scattered with 1-5 year gaps in between now
as for kids i remember two, a little girl with white hair and a teenager, i think he was 16ish
but they weren't there at the same time
and are you complaining about how good your marriage was right now?

[flametheif40]

As far as I know, Alibaba died while on vacation via tsunami before he had a chance to get married and have kids.

I think he did love someone but...

Remember how I looked when I was running out of Magoi?

Worse then that but I didn't constantly feel HIS feelings, although I think I see why he loves her though.

[blondferret]

You DIED?

[Information Derek arrogantly thinks he should know from his younger brother.]

[flametheif40]

I'm 90% sure.

Unless either he or Sinbad the dumbass of the seven seas does something.
