Soulbonding first

I was ten or eleven years old the first time I deliberately reached out to someone to invite the creation of a soulbond connection between…

Hello! I was wondering what soulbounding is. i tried to look it up, but the only thing that came up was so video game. Thanks!!!

Soulbonders are mentally connected with someone from another world- usually a fictional character. You hear their voice in your head during the day, and sometimes…

ok this is totally sloppy but: im a troll and i have 5 others [immediately here] with me in my world [there are others but these 5 live with me] and weve tried befriending many humans only for it to never work [they never truly understand or just never understand the full picture and it goes south from there] and im wondering if there are any communities i could look into to find some outside friends for them and for myself as well? i love them and i know its bothering them at this point…

I think the best solution is to let them have individual blogs/emails/etc online, and make friends of their own that way. I wish I had…

Say you wanted to make a blog for marvel alterhumans (including kin, hearted, fictives, soulbonds and coping link), how would you say that so it doesn’t sound as strange? Or is marvel alterhumans good?

Marvel Alterhumans sounds good to me! Maybe also clarify and add in the description all the subgroups you include.

As a soulbonder just wanted to say thanks to you and hamiltoes for being so reasonable and informed!

@hamiltoes Thanks anon! as a soulbonder myself, its definitely a subject that’s important to me.

Sorry to bother you, but you’re about the best person I have found to ask about soulbonding in general. I’m 98% sure I have soulbonded, and progress in communication is going slowly but pretty okay. But I’m still very worried I’m just making this all up in my head to cope with a harsh reality of never being able to ever physically BE with said soulbond in the Real World. And this keeps bringing up two questions that I haven’t really been able to find a solid answer on. (1/2 – IIR)

(2/2 – IIR) The first question being, how can I tell if it’s really real or I’m just making this up? The sort of answer…

Hi, I sent an anon ask a few days ago about a soul bond, but I think tumblr ate it. I used to think I was kin with a character, until I accidentally made contact with him. I could see him, and perceive what he was thinking. He turned around and looked right where I “was”. Since then, I was thinking maybe this is the beginning of a soul bond? I can sense his emotions sometimes, and I’ve talked to him sparingly a couple times. I asked him if I was making it up, and he told me that since the (1/2)

(2/2) bond was tenuous that my mind was filling in gaps of what he was saying, but at least part of what I was hearing…

Soulbonds are a type of fictive. They existed or continue to exist in a world/universe/realm other than our earth, and have come through magical means…

Is it possible to have a soulbond that functions as a tulpa-like being? Usually I hear about soulbonds existing only as headmates, but I interact with mine in the same way that people interact with thoughtforms and tulpas; they’re external (entirely outside of my mind), they cannot ‘front’ or take over for me, and I can feel their presence as a semi-physical sensation.

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…

Do you think it’s possible that some soulbonds can only talk to you in your dreams? A character visits me frequently while I’m asleep and our interactions are deeply personal (not sexual… yet) & I feel such a connection with them but I can’t seem to get them to talk to me while I’m awake. Do you think it could eventually happen or, if it doesn’t, is it wrong to label this a soulbond? And by frequently I mean at least once per night, every night… Thank you if you answer, fantastic blog! :)

Soulbonds express themselves in a variety of ways. I’ve had, and heard of people having bonds that never speak, but only make themselves known through…

Do you think it’s a bad idea to have ended up soulbonding with a character who you are deeply in love with and also sexually attracted to? It’s not unpleasant, it’s just that I feel almost like I’m overstepping some kind of line. Should I run with it, or attempt to back out?

I personally don’t think this is bad, though other people will have other opinions from me. Intense feelings are often what create a bond, and…

Do you think soulbonds are “real” if they don’t accurately reflect all traits of their personality or memories etc from their canon? (Note: “real” isn’t the word I want to use (it’s kinda rude) but I can’t come up with a better word for this question. I’m not trying to be rude, slap me if I am.)

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…

Can you explain the difference between a soulbond and a headmate? I’m really not understanding and I need to because of my situation.

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…

I have a question that I’m too embarrassed to ask off-anon, sorry. I am pretty sure I’m not fictionkin, but yet sometimes I will feel like literally a character is rising up from inside my brain to act for me or to guide me, etc. Pre-existing characters, not OCs. Even when they aren’t actively acting for me, they are still sometimes there and even talk to me and others who are there. I’m not sure what this could be and since I’ve known about otherkin for 10+ years my only thought [1/2]

[2/2] was that it had to be related to fictionkin. And yet as I dwell on it and the more I think the more I…

Hi so I have two questions if you don’t mind! Is it normal to have be fickin and also have fictives? Also, is it considered.. weird/etc for all your kin/fictives to come from just one place? I’ve only recently started coming to terms with being fickin and I’ve suddenly met with two fictives as well, and my 3 kin and fictives all ‘originate’ from one work of fiction. I hope I worded that understandably and thanks :)

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…

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…

whats a headmate if you don’t mind me asking? also is it normal to get a soulmate feeling from a character even if you don’t have a kin in their series? (or at least none that you know of)

A headmate is a voice/entity/person/mind that coexists with you inside of a shared brain and body. Headmates are distinct people with full personalities, including fears,…

hi there! i’ve just really accepted my kintype recently (the mangle from fnaf) and i’ve got two other types (silver the hedgehog, weiss from rwby) and it feels like the mangle is here with me always but their voice is least dominant of the three & i occasionally hear weiss & silver pipe in on things that they would do in a situation (e.x.: forgot to do homework- pull an all-nighter vs. not do it at all.) are weiss & silver my headmates while mangle is a my kin? it’s how i feel all the time :o

Several questions for you today. 1). Do you have any running theories on what happens to headmates when they leave, or why they leave? 2). Can a headmate choose to leave of its own accord? 3). Do you think it’s possible that once a headmate leaves, it can take up residence with someone else on this plane and timeline? Not talking about duplicates of the same person showing up in multiple people, but rather the same bond. Have you ever seen that happen?

1) There are many differing theories. For my part, I have had headmates vanish and then return months or years later. In this case, they…
