Hey! I really like your blog and I’ve been following for a while. I was wondering if you had any advice on soulbonding? I feel as though I’m ‘soulbonding’ with a few characters..but I’m doing it without trying? Do you think its possible to soulbond and not even know it? I feel as though Latios (the Pokemon) is with me. Is there a way to know if you truly are soulbonding these characters? Thank you and again, love your blog <3

It is absolutely possible to soulbond without knowing it, and in fact its very normal and natural for many people it occurs to. For me,…

Is it possible for a soulbond to happen instantly?

Yes, it absolutely is. I’ve had characters just sort of leap into my mind immediately upon encountering them.

Hey, I am host to a walk-in fictive and soulbond, and I have wondered lately how often the host should talk with their bonds? They tend to come and go whenever they want, but I started wondering if I’m supposed to talk to them regularly? I love them both but I tend to like being alone, and I don’t want to ignore them or anything.

There’s absolutely no ‘rule’ for this, its entirely up to what you and your bonds feel comfortable with. As long as you and they are…

When forming a soul bond, do you think it would be a good idea to “ask” the yet-unformed bond questions and make up an answer that they might reply with until they actually come along? Sorry if that was a little hard to understand.

I definitely think its a good idea to to that! In fact its part of my guide on soulbonding. http://fictionkin.net/soulbonding/soulbonding-for-beginners/

Your post on the fictionkin fictive difference made me wonder – what about fictives who are also fictionkin? As in, they remember past lives in the same way any fictionkin does, even though they have a main/current form similar to a fictionkin’s current life. But maybe that’s a soulbond thing? Since I always heard that fictives were specifically related to alters who are fictional, and soulbonds can come and go as they wish and aren’t necessarily a part of the host.

I won’t take a stance on whether alters can be fictionkin, as alters are specifically DID related and not something I am qualified to discuss.…

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you. I happened across your description of soulbonding and it helped me realize that I (probably on accident) bonded with an original novel character of mine–the points you gave matched up exactly with what happened when he revealed himself. I feel a lot more at ease knowing there’s a word for why he’s there. Thank you so much. <3

I’m so glad that my posts could help! Good luck to you and your bond ^^

Im p sure ive soulbonded w someone, and later on came across tulpa stuff. Im rlly embarrassed to say soulbond around other ppl tho, would it be ok to call a bond an “accedental tulpa”? Or something else maybe? Srry if this sounds dumb.

Most tulpamancers Ive known are cool with the term soulbond. However, if you feel self conscious, you can use whatever term you like!

Can confirm, I am a totally non-trauma based singlet soulbonder so is not necessarily a multiple term. More like a spirit worker/astral worker kind of thing.

old tumblr postsJanuary 6, 2016

Is soulbound term only for multiples? Because I research it all I could find and it helped define my relationships with characters but I’m not multiple as far as I know, I have really strong facets based on trauma and a strong relationship with characters that I even use in my pop culture paganism practices.

No, soulbonders can be singlets too. There are both multiple and singlet ways to interact with soulbonds.

I wanted to thank you, I’ve been feeling like less of a system because these people exist in my head to me but they almost never front and I always make them. Soulbond feels so much more accurate thank you

I’m so glad that I could help! I think Soulbonding is an important concept that sometimes gets lost to the wayside of other experiences.

old tumblr postsNovember 16, 2015

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)

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…

Is it possible to have a soulbond with a character that you have really cared about since childhood, but not know it? Lately i’ve been having thoughts and feelings that I dont feel like are mine and what I would relate to this character.

Absolutely! Soulbonds are not always loud or obvious, and sometimes they can sort of ‘lurk’ around for a long time before you actually know they’re there.…

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…

old tumblr postsSeptember 10, 2015

Just a little bit of a correction, tulpas only sometimes fall into the category of headmates. It really depends on the tulpa. A lot of tulpamancers project their tulpas into imaginary friend like things that they can visualize following them and such. Also, quite a lot of tulpas are unable to actually switch (switch places with the host). Some can do what is called possession which is sort of an in between where the tulpa moves one part of the body such as the hands. (1/2)

But for the most part, from my own experiences along with what I have gathered from others, the majority of tulpas seem to exist in…

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…

How would I go about telling someone I have soulbonds? My best friend thinks otherkin are a joke and I’m afraid she’ll feel the same about my soulbonds even tough she’s a writer too and the concept originated from authors. You’d think since she’s a sexual minority she would understand, but I’m afraid she just doesn’t believe otherkin, especially fictionkin, are anything more than people who are over-obsessed or schizophrenic. Have any advice?

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…

Not sure if you got this question yet, but have you heard of the fictional other coping mechanism? I kno peeps who were “copingkin” and after reading your posts on the subject, realized that the concept of a fictional other was a better coping mech. It’s basically like..I guess an internal RP? A fictional character you take on as a “significant other”. You KNOW it isn’t real, but when you’re lonely or depressed you kind of dwell on that idealized relationship? Hard to describe.

Re: soulbonding with yourself: my canon has many alternate universes and versions of myself interact in canon, and I am soulbonded to a version of myself from a timeline where things happened almost exactly as they did in canon, whereas I’m from a more deviated timeline, but we are both technically the same character – just not the same person. It can happen!
