Absolutely. I’ve seen this a lot, especially recently.
Depends on what you mean by ‘access your headspace’. Do you mean get in contact with other entities that may/might be able to share your mind?…
Medians, at least when I last heard the term, are people who don’t comfortable fit either as multiples or singlets. Being median is a sort…
I had been tossing the idea of creating a soulbonding-centric blog for a while now, since the amount of questions I’ve gotten asked about it…
Absolutely true. I was much more free about mixing my terminology until lately when I have been hearing from DID systems who want to keep…
First of all, just to clear things up, headmates have nothing to do with fictionkin or otherkin. Headmate as a term came about to describe…
There are definitely soulbonders on tumblr, but we’re not much of a community yet. That’s actually one reason I’m thinking of creating a separate blog…
The answer is its a bit of a blurry line. Lets see if I can rattle out some of the differences and such. Soulbonders specifically…
I’m considering creating a spin-off new blog from this one, specifically a soulbonding ask/informational blog. Considering this because of the volume of soulbonding asks I’ve…
By fictional others, I gather that you mean romantic interactions with fictives/soulbonds/headmates. My personal feelings are that there is nothing wrong with having these relationships…
Fictives literally are a character. They have no identity outside of themselves in fiction. They were not born in a human body on earth, but…
A system is a collection of people who exist in the same body at the same time. The people in a system are often referred…
While most of the soulbonders I’ve known have experienced their bonds functionally as headmates, I have also read posts of some people experiencing them as…
The shortest definition I can come up with is this: A soulbond is an externally originating headmate with a fictional origin that has an emotional…
Absolutely! Soulbonds are not always loud or obvious, and sometimes they can sort of ‘lurk’ around for a long time before you actually know they’re there.…
Hello! I’d like to assure you that its absolutely possible, and in some ways ‘normal’ for soulbonds to just happen. A lot (possibly most) soulbonders don’t…
Headmates absolutely can come and go. They can be there, or gone for days, weeks, months, or years. I have had headmates who only appeared…
As a follow up, the term ‘fictive’ originated in the multiple community and is short for ‘fictive headmate’.
Fictives are walk-ins. Fictives appear in an already living body in this world fully aware and conscious of their identity as a certain character. There…
But for the most part, from my own experiences along with what I have gathered from others, the majority of tulpas seem to exist in…
Hi there! Soulbonds and tulpas are two different kinds headmates. Heamates are people who exist in a body/mindspace with other headmates. Generally people who have/are…
(temp edit: Hi to those of you from tumblrinaction. feel free to ask questions 🙂 ) Sometimes the best friend, and the best support, is…
Anyone can have fictives or other headmates; not all those with headmates are disordered. In the last ten years or more there has been a…
Yes, it happens occasionally that fictionkin share headspace with fictives from the same canon they are. In fact, many fictionkin deliberately seek out soulbonds from…
Some kin have been made to feel like their kin beliefs are a direct result of their mental illness. They feel that their belief that…
I know a lot of my followers often ask me about places off tumblr that they can connect with kin. I am now happy to…
First of all, try not to feel bad. ^^ For one thing, communication with bonds isn’t always easy at first. For another thing, soulbonds often…
Oooh, this is a tough question. Talking about soulbonds with people who don’t have them runs the risk of the person thinking that you are “crazy”…
All soulbonds come from ‘outside’, originally, which is one thing that makes them soulbonds, as opposed to another kind of headmate. I tend to linken being…
It absolutely is possible. Having a headmate of one type never excludes having a headmate of another type as well.
As I understand it the term system is meant similarly to ‘star system’: A star system or stellar system is a small number of stars that…
A non-fictive headmate is pretty simple anon ^^ If you have a headmate and you don’t immediately know what canon/source they are from, then they…
Anon, I have a few thoughts on this subject, so I hope you’ll pardon me if I ramble a bit. My first reaction is that…
This is definitely a question I can answer! Lets break this down! there’s a different personality in my mind that I can talk to and…
I have never personally heard of this happening, however, there is no reason it could not. It sounds like a very weird experience! Anyone who…
I don’t think this is a rude question. 🙂 The answer is yes. I consider all soulbonds ‘real’ for lack of a better word, regardless of…
The short answer is a soulbond is a type, or subset of, headmate. A headmate is any fully realized independent person/entity that shares mental space…
No, I completely agree with this. I worded the previous answer generously to allow for someone who hadn’t considered the possibility that the people they…
Your question was worded just fine. 🙂 It is absolutely common (I won’t say ‘normal’) to be a fictionkin who has headmates, whether they are fictive…
You can use a character’s strength as a way to support you mentally, but this is not what being fictionkin is. I would call this…
