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…
Alter is a DID/OSDD-1 specific term, and refers only to headmates created by trauma.
Soulbonds are spirits from outside ‘sources’, generally from worlds that are known as fiction on this earth. Soulbonding can be thought of as a form…
Absolutely. Any kind of significant mental shakeup can cause soulbonds to come or go, and trauma certainly counts.
If you can hear your “kintypes” talking to you, and they are distinct and separate or semi-separate from your own thoughts, then they are not kintypes,…
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…
How’s it any different from any other fanfiction, anon? I don’t suggest that the undertale anon in question DISTRIBUTE this branch AU in any way,…
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…
You can’t kill someone else’s fictive (even in the case of Undertale), though I am very sorry the game he was from got reset, that…
I think the cut off for trauma creating a system is around 8 years old. As for a fictive being grafted onto a core, none…
While trauma can certainly cause your system to change, current diagnostic criteria as per the DSM states that for multiplicity to be considered DID/OSDD-1 the…
Systems are groups of (at least two) separate people that share one body. Systems caused by trauma, called DID or OSDD-1 systems, are the only…
Here are some definitions of median systems: Median System: Typically described as being on a spectrum between singlet and multiple. Headmates in a median system…
Kinshifts are not the same thing as fronting/being multiple. Kintypes are not the same thing as fictives/headmates. During a shift you experience a continuity of…
(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…
Kintypes aren’t separate or semi-separate people. While someone with multiple kintypes may have shifts where they feel closer to that kintype whether physically or mentally,…
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…
They’re wrong. Your system may not be based in DID, which means its not medically recognized as a disorder, but that’s all that means. If…
A mirror system is a system whose members ‘mirror’ or match another system in some way. AKA: one system has Legolas, the other system has Gimli.…
A mirror system is when one person with headmates knows another person whose headmates that reflect or interact with the other person’s in some way.…
I don’t really have a firm answer for you, but I can talk about my personal experience. In my personal experience, I have had headmates…
Sorry anon, maybe a blog more focused on multiplicity can help you?
This isn’t really a question I can answer. Its not a kin question, and even as a soulbonder, I don’t have anyone in my headspace…
Yes, I believe this. It used to happen with me and my best friend back in the day, though our headspaces are more closed off…
lb-lee: I’ve done some cursory digging into the term ‘headmate’ and I find Astraea referencing it in their glossary in 2008, as specifically from soulbonders,…
That’s not something I can define for you. I suggest @realmultipleadvice
Judging by the fact that any time I use the term ‘system’ to refer to non-DID multiples, I have DID sufferers jumping down my throat…
I am compelled to point out that ‘system’ is currently a debated term, as to whether or not it is acceptable to use unless you are…
Oof sorry anon, this question is all kinds of confused. Let me try to detangle things for you. headmate: a person/entity that is sharing a…
Ehhhh…. I’m possibly going to get in ‘trouble’ for answering this, anon, but I’m going to go ahead and do it because I have a lot…
Hey there! First of all, no need to be scared/freaked out. It sounds like this headmate is here for your benefit, and you’re not in…
lb-lee: the-trashcan-collective: beaconsystem: the-trashcan-collective: beaconsystem: I am not entirely sure if I am using the correct tags for this, so please notify me if I…
Multiplicity is when two or more people share the same body. It can happen because of trauma at a young age, which is called Dissociative…
I’m not actually all that educated on the subject of DID, since I don’t suffer from it, or know intimately anyone who does. Most of…
Fascinating! I’m interested that I’ve never head of that one before, because it actually is a really useful word!
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…
Headspace can mean two things. 1. Just the scope of your mind and all the things that exist in it. AKA all your thoughts and…
Yes? I was merely listing traits characteristic of soulbonding. As I said, there’s a significant amount of crossover between phenomena.
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…
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…
