As someone with DID, I am asking you to take ‘fictive’ out of your ‘alterhuman’ definition. Please. It feels really disrespectful of my disorder and the clinical words we use pertaining to it. These are for alters only and do not belong under the ‘alterhuman’ umbrella. We have our own words for those, fictive is one word we use for an alter with traits/name/experiences of a fictional character, introject is another. This is very disconcerting as someone who needs this word to stay clinical.

Fictive was a word coined by the alterhuman/soulbonding/endogenic community. The clinical word is fictional introject. confirmation: LINK see the 4th paragraph of this answer.

anon who sent the ask about soulbonding being different b/c fronting: If that’s the case, then what do you consider the difference between soulbonding and being multiple? Because to me this seems like a case of “well whichever word you want to use that one’s right!” with your definition and that really makes me uncomfortable.

Soulbonding and non-DID multiplicity in general have a lot of potential crossover. Here are the things that tend to make soulbonding ‘different’. All of these are…

In my experience through the soulbonding community – one of the major difference between soulbonds and headmates is the lack of ability to front or to front alone without the “host”. Just because you don’t have DID and/or have fictives doesn’t mean your multiplicity experience is automatically soulbonding.

This CAN be a decent indicator, but its not always the case. Soulbonding covers a much wider spectrum of communication than other multiplicty experiences generally…

Hey, uhm…I’m just kinda trying to figure out what, exactly, I’m experiencing. I have had a particular connection with a certain character since I was about 12 years old. I don’t feel any spiritual or religious ties, or th I am her or her reincarnation. I am me, in control of my body, and I know that she isn’t a real, tangible person. She is in control of herself and largely/entirely independent of me, but it’s like she’s a guest in my head. I didn’t create her like a tulpa. She’s like a casual

–observer. I’m not sure how to catalogue this, and was just wondering what your take on it is. She’s a ‘villain’ who is largely hated…

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I figured I’d give it a shot. I don’t personally identify as fictionkin, but I’ve recently gotten attached to this one character and it’s kinda weird… Like, I imagine them in my shoes sometimes when I’m out and about, and I act and think like them sometimes. Could I be fictionkin, or am I just overly infatuated with this character?

(Same anon who wants to know if I’m infatuated with a character or not) I forgot to mention, sometimes I also feel kinda like phantom…
