Do walk-ins and crawl-ins not exist? Like if someone says they were born somewhere else and ended up here like a headmate would but have replaced the original soul from the body? (Kinda like a changeling from fae lore?)

Assuming you mean in reaction to this: http://fromfiction.tumblr.com/post/140121020412/how-may-i-tell-i-am-a-fictive-if-i-turn-out-not Absolutely walk-ins exist (never heard of crawl ins? Whats the difference?). I say ‘almost no possibility’ when I really…

Wait, how do you shape your soul into a non-human one if you haven’t grown up that way? Also, you’re kin by reincarnation and I would like to speak to someone who is kin concurrently with their character because that’s my experience I think. Any advice? I feel like reincarnation vs. concurrent experience would be fundamentally different.

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…

Could you help me with this? So, if I like a character a lot and I see myself in them, in a sense of strongly identifying with them and having many things in common with them, and thinking “Me” or “That’s me”, “About me”, etc. everytime you see that character, and just seeing yourself as a lot like them, could that be considered being fiction-hearted?

Hey there! That definitely sounds like fiction-hearted to me. 🙂 textbook case.

Tumblr might have eaten my ask; if this is a repeat, just delete it. I was wondering how someone reconciles the belief that “fiction isn’t reality”/”dark topics are ok in fiction because it’s not real” with actually being kin? Because I have been holding this belief that dark things are ok in fiction for reasons like this, but I’m fictionkin and I don’t know what to think anymore.

Oof, anon, this is a tough subject. On the one hand, I personally have a lot of trouble watching/reading upsetting/dark fiction that doesn’t have a…
