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…

My host has been reading up on soulbonds and fictives quite a bit lately to try to figure out just what each one of us is. I decided to have a look myself and i really do have to wonder….what is a soulbond? My host says we dont fall into that sort of thing but ive seen quite a few things that always contradict other articles and such.

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…

Hi there. So, you’re sort of the closest thing to an authority on soulbonding that I know of, and I have a question. Is it possible for someone to “accidentally” become a soulbonder? As in they didn’t actively seek anyone out, the connection just sort of randomly happened on its own? Because a lot about it seems like the best term for my situation, but I see a lot about actively creating the bonds, and I worry that that’s a sign that this is really something else?

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…

[K1]Saw your post on multiverse stuff. Truth be told, I almost didn’t write this. Private doesn’t even begin to describe this stuff, and yet here I am, albeit on anon. I don’t know why I keep it so hidden, though. Every now and again it leaks into my fiction, but I stamp out the threads pretty quickly. Had I seen your post many years ago, I probably would have passed it off as just being one of those things that resonates with people for some reason, like the structure of the hero’s journey.

[K2]What bigger, more exciting stakes were there than multiversal danger? Heck, even I, a non-kin, had many thoughts about it… well, guess who eventually ended…

You know, darkness can also be interpreted as a lack of knowledge or understanding. Apparently there was an old otherkin hobby called “glamourbombing”, which fell out of use because people thought a “forced awakening” of the general populace was a bad idea. If you don’t know what this is, it’s basically doing something highly unusual either overtly or subtly, from wearing wings/tails in public to leaving ridiculous notes ala obviousplant.

Ah, glamour bombing. I remember glamour bombing. For those who don’t know what it is, glamour bombing is/was a practice popularized by the Fae and…

I feel kinda bad, like I might be using a soulbond. They don’t seem to be active (or I can’t hear them idk) in anything other than when I’m upset, when they come over and cuddle up and tell me they love me. It’s nice, but it feels wrong and I want to be able to talk to them more. On the other hand it feels like they take over my body, at least partially, when I go outside the house, but it doesn’t feel like communicating. How can I reach out and talk and listen better?

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…

With all this talk about fictives and tulpas and soulbonding and such, I’m curious as to what exactly a soulbond is. Are they always connected to a body? Or could it be that they exist elsewhere (i.e. the astral realm or another dimension) but have a “link” to a specific person for one reason or another? If they’re, say, someone from one of your fictionkin’s lives but they aren’t always inside you, are they still a soulbond? Thanks.

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…

What’s going on if there’s a different personality in my mind that I can talk to and that shares my memories, and he identifies with the name/pronouns of a fictional character, but the two of us are also kin for different fictional characters simultaneously? Do I have DID and am fictionkin, or am I just fictionkin for all three characters and I like talking to myself? I feel like a liar, even though I’m probably not…

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 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…
