Kin/Plural Memory thrills over skills

You're the hero who beat SBURB, you helped defeat Discord, saved a planet, or some other badass thing, isn't that great? well now you're in some disabled body with a blurry memory that can't even peel an orange. Being otherkin or a fictive with a past as an important character or just some cool non human creature like a mole that can tunnel with ease or dog that has spectacular hearing, is a fascinating and sometimes frustrating mix of cool memories and knowledge of what was, but not clear enough memories to draw much upon those skills.

For us a big example of this is in me Sakuya, the new fronter, I am far from the most powerful in this brain, just as mortal to wounds as any human, and no spells yet, but it's so infuriating to go from having a photographic memory to regularly checking the fridge for reminders, going from being a great chef with a deep understanding of nutrition, food science and all sorts of delicious recipes to make, now doing the simplest cooking of shove stuff in the oven, microwave or a pot. Or in terms of dealing with the disabilities of our body, (side note, any body is a good body if the people or person using it likes it,) people with BIID should be allowed to remove what they don't want. but thing is everyone in this brain would prefer if I or the other medics in here had any of our useful knowledge, I went from having dozens of medical textbooks, training in surgery and all to now having none of that and too much schizophrenia to learn.

But there is good in being in the new brain and body too, you can watch stories of your adventure that glorify your victories hopefully or at least be entertained in other ways, there's a lot less monsters trying to attack you, no offense Undertale kinnies, if you're from any non modern setting there's now indoor toilets, fresh tap water, you don't have to make your own soap and there's spices and fruit all year round anywhere, though there shouldn't exactly be. There's nuance and the global south shouldn't be exploited. But yes, good luck and welcome to earth, I hope you can grow to like it here.
