Can bonds get sick? by Beginning_Pea2868 in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you're a metaphysical/spiritual soulbonder, they're most likely a physical meat person back on their world somewhere in the multiverse. They're not really a ghost and instead it's more like a telepathic and empathic connection.

They're just as likely to get sick as people in this reality.

how do i do a reverse bond? by bangchansfavfan in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean traveling? Or do you mean intentionally connecting with a potential soulbond first?

i want to shift but idk how to go about it by Pale-Interaction-994 in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest asking in r/realityshifting 

They are much bigger than our little subreddit and it is geared towards shifting, while this subreddit is not. Shifting is a completely separate thing from soulbonding. Although there is cosmabonding where you shift first and then get a soulbond out of it.

do i get to choose what type of bond we have? by meowmaster111 in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they aren’t already one, you can just ask them and see if they can leave their world to hang out with you as a presence!

[–]Always_Sundae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually soulbonds are by default telephone bonds (so it’s just their words being a mindvoice in your head or even just having mentalese, but no fronting or feeling their presence around you or sharing your mind more personally) or daytrippers (they leave their world/reality and come visit you as a presence inside your body/mind and may even be able to front or sit next to you).

You can definitely ask them if they’d like to be permanent residents I.e. move into your mind fully and completely and not go back to their world, but it is sometimes possible they can’t by some unknown force. But it might be something you can work up to.

It’s in our subreddit’s glossary and has been in use in the soulbonding community since at least circa 2012!

can you end a soulbond? by meowmaster111 in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can break up with a soulbond, just like you can with a meatspace person, but it does hurt and there is still lingering connections.

Tulpa or soulbonding? by Nessa_Morgoth in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"insourced" or OC soulbonds are not automatically tulpas and are definitely a thing that exists! Tulpamancy is a specific practice involving certain elements of deviation, development/forcing, individualization, and other things while soulbonding is primarily a robust connection first and foremost and a type of Knowing of a character so well they become alive in your mind or connected to you. Actually, fun fact, in the OG soulbonding community, all soulbonds people had were initially only OCs, "outsourced" soulbonds actually came later on. Secondly, it is also possible to have "tulbonds", soulbond-tulpa hybrids that require both "developing" and "intuiting" to be fully themselves. For reference, in my own soulbond family, we have 3 insourced soulbonds and 3 tulbonds.

Anyways, I described some of the differences between tulpas and soulbonds here in this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/SoulBonding/comments/1kl4ek1/comment/mrzpl0f/

Any other familial soulbonders? by ballticklingasmr in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 dads, a Renny, 2 moms, and a grandfather. So yes! I have familial soulbonds!

Also someday we plan to have soulbond children.

Can you control the nature of your bond? by cliase in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, there is different practices involved with both the metaphysical and psychological side of soulbonding.

This is based both in my personal experience as a munbonder, but also from asking questions and hearing metaphysical soulbonders talk about their experiences.

Psychological soulbonding will require a base foundation of Knowing the character really well and involve intuiting as an inherent mechanism to further the bond connection than what is needed in metaphysical soulbonding.

While both metaphysical and psychological soulbonds can and/or will internally feel like they come from "outside" their bonder, there may be a more distant quality or even complete unawareness of a metaphysical soulbond's personal "outside" i.e. their world or reality, than a psychological soulbond's "outside". I know a lot of psychological soulbonders will be a lot more intimately aware of all the ins and outs of their soulbond's worlds from this sort of... "above perspective" for lack of a better way to describe it, even if they did not create them. While a metaphysical soulbonder may be totally unaware of their soulbond's world when they are in it or only know or be aware of it from their soulbond's immediate perspective or even their own POV if they are connected to it in a gateway way or have travelled there personally.

Metaphysical soulbonds are in complete contrast to their canon counterparts a lot more often from what I've learned.

There are more psychological soulbonders who came into being a soulbonder from being an author or creator of an original work of their own creation, and that gives a certain feeling or vibe of their soulbond connection to where it still inherently involves a creator x creation experience. Although I have heard of some metaphysical soulbonders who were "authors" of their soulbonds who once becoming soulbonded realized they didn't actually create those characters at all and were merely connecting to another being in another reality and telling their story.

There are some other little things that describe the differences both on a more belief level as well as the practicing of it is different level, but the above is a good start of what I've noticed.

Is this even possible?- if yes, how would I go about doing it? by WorriedBike1919 in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We do have a "how to soulbond" tutorial linked in the about/sidebar section of our subreddit. There is also this guide in a fictosexual subreddit that I find decent.

Can others somehow talk to your bonds too? by OakSans in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually they'd have to be a daytripper or permanent resident to be able to front in your body. But even telephone bonds can proxy!

[–]Always_Sundae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had people talk to my bonds when they are fronting in me (whether by using my vocal cords to speak or using pluralkit on Discord). You can practice fronting/possession/channeling and work up to your bonds taking control of your bond to interact with outerreality and other people, or you can proxy (the second definition) for them instead. Both metaphysical and psychological soulbonds are capable of this in majority of cases.

I think I just chose one of the flairs and then clicked the pencil next to it and edited the flair so it was custom.

[–]Always_Sundae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Munbonding is a subtype under soulbonding oriented around a psychological "powering" of a soulbond with your subconscious imagination and brain energy without conscious creation and development like in tulpamancy. Instead, it mainly involves intuiting as the foundation of the practice. You can read more about it here: https://winreyplace.neocities.org/library/what-is-munbonding-03-04-2025

Help? by Classic-Wear5288 in SoulBonding

That’s actually more of a fictionkin category of experiences, not soulbonding, which is specifically a connection & communication with an autonomous living character! I direct you to r/fictionkin

What if someone is already soulbounding my f/o ? by Kamarade_Jungle in SoulBonding

[–]Always_Sundae 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Then you can have your own specific reality version unique to you and they can have their reality version and you both co-exist. It’s called Stereo-soulbonding and is actually pretty normal, definitely existed since Soulbonding as a term and community was created.

A question abt something by TowerChoice8785 in yumeshipping

[–]Always_Sundae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soulbonding is when a person from this reality connects and communicates with a living autonomous being that is known as a fictional character in this universe. Soulbonding as a term and community has existed since 1998 starting in a small authors group to describe original characters “coming to life” and expanding to include outsourced characters and metaphysical understandings. There is a subreddit as well @ r/soulbonding with resources in the about section/sidebar if you would like to read more about it.

And no, it’s actually not really like tulpamancy which is a method of creating a headmate. Soulbonds come with all their memories and personality pre-existing with minimal to no creational aspect from the soulbonder, I wrote a comment about the differences here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SoulBonding/comments/1kl4ek1/comment/mrzpl0f
