A Collection of Early 2000s SoulBonding links

From around 2001-2006ish http://soulbonding.tripod.com/soulbonding_faq.htm The final version of what was one of the most complete soulbonding resources http://web.archive.org/web/20060524101317/http://childofmana.tripod.com:80/soulbonding_puppetry.htm The only essay missing from the above version http://web.archive.org/web/20020220015136/http://kurai.com:80/sb/main.html another…

A popular youtube channel has made a lengthy video about “The final fantasy house”, so expect more trolling activity than usual in the soulbonding and otherkin…

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.

I was wondering if you could help me. I’ve experienced a phenomena for nearly as long as I can remember, where fictional characters manifest in a sort of ‘imaginary friend’ like state to me. I can see them and hear them as though they were a ‘real’ person beside me, and I’ve been calling this soulbonding, but I was wondering if you could suggest a better word for this experience?

Hi there anon! I’ve known a lot of different soulbonders over the years, all of whom have had unique ways of interacting with their bonds.…

This isn’t exactly fictionkin related but uh. How would one “channel” a character and mentally swap with them, for example to harness their strengths or something? To take on their identity for a while? What would that be called or like, do you know where I could start searching for information?

That’s called copinglink if you want to draw strength from and ‘become’ the character.  Check tumblr #copinglink for more information  Or if you want the character…

(copinglink anon) thank you!!! that seems to fit p well but is it possible to have a copinglink thats like. not voluntary? its a lil confusing but as far as i can tell what happened was it was just kind of a thing? like i never really decided it or w/ei just immediately thought that I Was Them but since i was so isolated i talked to them in my head like they were my friend but it was sorta like i was talking to myself? like i was me but i was also them at the same time it was all rly complicated

It can totally happen, anon. The mind does weird things, especially in order to protect itself. Its certainly possible that you built a copinglink identity…

I have a weird question about soulbonds. I have experienced ‘cloning’ of headmates several times. The clones always have the memories of their ‘real’ selves, but they are exact copies. Are these valid? and if they are valid, are they soulbonds, tulpas or fictives? ( bonus: they are copies of someone else’s headmates. is that a thing? )

Yes, that’s possible, though its really up to you whether you consider them bonds or tulpas. As an aside, unless the other person whose headmates…

so, i’ve noticed a trend among a lot of kin, from fictives to otherkin… and that’s what they call ‘linking’. It’s basically where the one ‘fronting’ ‘links’ to other headspaces using roleplay-like dialogue and they can apparently interact this way in ‘real time’ as if they were real. is this, even a thing? can this even be real? or is it just roleplay? lol

Some people do claim to be able to communicate with members of other people’s headspaces either at a distance, or by the members ‘visiting’ the headspace…

About the sans Fictive: It is, and it’s not even my Fictive. But I’m pretty sure this Sans doesn’t have a home now. He didn’t actually belong in that AU to start with, but it was his home, and the love of his life was there… How can someone think that’s ok to do though?

Unless the AU was created/destroyed by a soulbonder/tulpamancer/someone else deliberately using that AU to call/create fictives from it, then they don’t have any moral obligation…

So lately a realized something weird – and by lately I mean since December or so. I often feel ‘disconnected’ with my body and the first thing that comes into my mind is Chara. I kinda feel like at that exact moment I’m them – I can feel what they do, have their memories, ‘feel’ their relationships with others. And it’s not only at these moments – I always feel these things, but not as strong as then. I’m not sure if I’m kin with them, but if I am… I’m kinda scared of that. (cont.)

(Chara kin cont.) I’m not scared of being kin – not at all – it’s the character. The whole Undertale fandom sees Chara as the…

I don’t know how to identify my system. While on one hand I am not diagnosed with DID and OSDD, I can’t deny the existence of my bonds. I labeled myself as a bond system in order to stress that I was not DID, and I was attacked for it and told I wasn’t allowed to use the word system because I wasn’t DID, even though my bonds came about as a result of years of emotional and verbal ab*se. I don’t know what to do, and it seems I am caught between deny the existence of my bonds and throwing a fit…

Just ignore the people who try to deny you exist and that your experiences are real. A wise anon once told me this: Don’t fall…

new word: alternormal Alternormal adjective denoting events, experiences or phenomena (such as shifts, anomalous memories, phantom/astral limbs, headmates, soulbonding, unexplained urges and feelings, etc) that…

Factkin anon again, thank you for your help! My fiance is my mirror system, but I haven’t told them that I’m factkin, as I’m pretty ashamed of it. My biggest issue with soulbonding with the person I miss is that I couldn’t bear to keep him a secret from my fiance. They wouldn’t judge me, and in fact know I’m factkin but not with who, but I’m so uncomfortable with myself that I believe my partner wouldn’t accept it either.

Hey anon. I understand how self conscious you are about this whole thing. Its a shitty situation to be in. I think what you need…

Hey uh, this is the factkin anon. I usually handle missing someone by bringing them here as a soulbond, as I also have fictotypes. But uh… I’m in my factotype shift and I wouldn’t be at all comfortable having the person I miss in my system. But I miss him so bad it physically hurts, and I don’t know what to do about it. Inducing other shifts is difficult for me and I don’t trust my system members not to blab about why I’m upset if I have one front. They’re good people, I’m just a bit paranoid.

That sounds like a really complicated situation, anon. I’m not sure what advice to give you here. Missing people is really, really hard. But its…

I have one character that I am kin with, and I also have a synpath. But lately I’ve been feeling shifts for the synpath, particularly the urge to talk like them. This feels a bit odd, since he’s VERY different from both me and my kintype. Not unpleasant, just odd. And I was wondering what this means. I still don’t feel like I am him. But lately he’s been talking through me more than normal. What exactly could this mean? And should he be handled any differently than my kintype?

That;s very interesting, anon. I don’t really have an experience with synpath shifts. Maybe someone else who has can answer your question better? However, your…

idk if this is the right place to go to for something like this but I just started following this brand new blog that catalogs kin networks (networkcatalog). the problem is they’re getting harassed really hard by factkin and personakin right now and I’m scared because I think they’re low on spoons that they’ll do something bad to themself. could you and your followers send them some love maybe?

I don’t normally post these kinds of things, but harassment fucking pisses me off.  If there’s anybody who wants to send @networkcatalog their warmth and…

Is there something between kin and soulbonding? Cause I have a lot of I guess, fictive headmates, who, when I see them in their canon I’m like “that’s me” and I have memories from them and physical responses and feel wrong in my body when they’re “out” but I still talk with them and RP and write as them. They’re me, or I’m them, but I’m also still me and they’re still them. I know I’m not making a ton of sense. They def. “front” or “co-front”, and sometimes they do things for me I won’t remember

It sounds like what you’re experiencing is co-conciousness/blending with your headmates, anon. This happens sometimes, esspecially when headmates spend a lot of time together at…

I recently started crawling into the skin of a canon character that I roleplay, but in my normal life. I’ve realized how comfortable it is for me, and that I’ve done this all my life, just haven’t had anyone support it since I was a child. I have feelings from him needing contact with his friends (provided by some of my friends), and feel wonderful when people call me his name. But I’m not sure I’m kin. I feel more like this character came out of me, rather than me coming from them. (1 of 2)

(2/2) He developed from my interest in him, he hasn’t necessarily been there all my life in his current form. But I also did not…

What amuses me is that there’s teenagers out there who think otherkin, soulbonding, and fictionkin is a “new” thing that started on tumblr.. I’m pretty sure I’ve been doing this longer than some of them have been alive (the teenagers anyway I can’t see a grown ass adult wasting their time arguing about this), and there’s people around-although not active on this site. Who’ve been at it longer than I’ve been alive.

Its a shame that its so hard to impart a sense of history through this medium. I feel like a lot of people would feel…
