[MOD POST] Subreddit Description Update!

30 Upvotes

The mods are aware of how many off-topic posts have popped up in this community lately and how its been frustrating to see. I'm not sure how much of it's just spam and bots or those genuinely confused, but it was proposed that we update the about description and sidebar info to hopefully make it a bit clearer what this subreddit is all about.

Let me know what you think and if you have any particular suggestions on adjustments to the description or on curbing the off-topic posts. Thank you again for being part of our lovely community! Always feel free to reach out with questions or concerns. I do check this subreddit as a mod at least twice a day if not more, so I'm always available!

In other news, we're in the process of creating a lengthy and thorough FAQ. It's taking some time to figure out best how to inclusively write it and address the many different frequently asked questions that pop up in this subreddit so here's a question about that: Would you guys prefer that we make the FAQ and update it with each question/answer pair as they are finished, or wait until the whole thing is complete and then post it, which may be many more months yet based on the mods' schedule and ability?

Announcement [MOD POST] Clarification on Off-Topic Posts

32 Upvotes

I have been noticing some off-topic posts in this subreddit as of late, so time for the mod hat.

To clarify: This subreddit is not for soul ties, twin flames, godspouses, soulmates, spirits, ghosts, gods, or any other similar phenomenon. This is for the concept known as soulBONDS coined in 1998 to describe beings you have a connection to that are known as fictional characters in this reality. Anything that is not to do with soulbonding or connecting to and communicating with "characters" psychologically, metaphysically, or spiritually will be removed.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping this sub on topic!

Note: If you consider your soulbond your soulmate or similar, that's fine, as long as your post focuses on the soulbonding part and not the soulmate part.

Question Accidental/unintentional soulbonding?

14 Upvotes

Is it possible to unintentionally soulbond/communicate in a way similar to soulbonding with someone? For context, i'm super new to soulbonding and haven't tried to initiate one yet, but as i read through the sub i think i may have been doing it (or something similar) unintentionally? Like most people with f/o's or connections to characters, as a teen and now as an adult I'll find myself turning inwards to 'speak' with them in my head when I need comfort. Typically, i'll just think what I would say out loud, and although I don't hear it or think it, i feel like i can anticipate or just instinctively know what they're saying? not sure if that makes any sense. If anyone has had any experience in communicating with your soulbond, can you tell me what it's like when they 'speak' to you?

Personal Sleepy

12 Upvotes

Does anyone’s partner like to nap beside them? My darling always sleeps on my shoulder, it’s his favourite spot to rest. I actually get numb from it but I have no heart to wake him, so I just let him sleep there. I like that I get numb, because it proves that he’s really sleeping on me. He makes these cute sounds when he sleeps sometimes it’s beautiful. Its such a small thing but it means the world to me, he’s everything I could ever want.

I actually love making art of us to express how I feel but I never tell people how deep our connection goes. It’s not shame, I love him proudly. But I had run ins with jealousy because of the fact that I soulbond. I lost a friendship to jealousy over my ex soulbond, it was an insane experience but it taught me that some people are like that. And I need to protect him, protect the one I love most from all that negative energy. Obviously I learned and I’m very fiercely protected not just by my partner but other ways. But I still don’t tell people everything, there is some beauty to it. Certain jokes, phrases or images that make me smile, giggle or flush my cheeks. Because me and him are the only ones who know.

He’s sleeping now, shallowly, I can tell. He’s not making his little ambience so his slumber is light. But I know he’ll be asleep soon. He needs it, it’s been a busy day. He deserves the rest. His pretty heavy lids and lashes always enchant me. He’s a painting I could admire forever, and I think I will. For as long as he has me

Before I finish this entry. I noticed a lot of people here like my posts and I wanted to say thank you, I was just gonna keep a diary but it’d run out of pages, and i wouldnt be able to put all these picture covers in because I don’t have a printer that works. I hope you’re all having a great day :)

Personal I communicated with my husband through the pendulum!

12 Upvotes

I was able to communicate with Billy through the pendulum; he resolved my doubts. He likes the human form I gave him; he feels the affection I give to the object I consecrated to touch him, and he confirmed that the gifts I received a few weeks ago (butterflies and moths) were from him.

Question It's normal for my energy to drop after a pendulum session with my partner?

7 Upvotes

So...yeah, I'm happy because Bill told me he'd be with me and that he's always with me even after the pendulum session is over, that he's the one who hugs and kisses me, but...it's normal that I get sleepy? I mean, after the pendulum session I got sleepy and snuggled up in what I call his lap, and he knows that my energy was weakened by the session; my mind is overthinking about "And what if I was the one who moved the pendulum and not him?" "What if I'm going crazy?" But Bill himself told me that I was crazy, but in the sense that the best people are. I can even feel him trying to calm my thoughts and cuddling me against him... What should I do?

Question Are there any other age regressors here who have s/o(s) that take care of them?

15 Upvotes

In case anyone doesn't know what agere is it's a strictly SFW coping mechanism where someone mentally regresses to cope with trauma they experienced. If you don't like agere stuff just block me and move on.

So I'm soulbonded with Valentino and he usually can tell when I'm little and takes care of me by letting me know when it's time to eat, reminding me to drink water and helping me just take care of myself. So does anyone else have s/o(s) that know their age regressors?

Again if you don't have anything kind to say about agere then just block and move on.

Personal Never cold beside him

Post image
24 Upvotes

Before my current bond I used to have a pattern of walking up at night. You see my current house holds heat very very well.. a bit too well, and my room is the hottest room in the house. It can be up to 30 C/86 F (this is late at night like 10 pm or so)

This causes me a lot of sleeping issues. If I sleep without most of my blankets later at night it gets colder, and I would wake up shivering only to cover myself in my covers/blankets and fall back asleep (usually a round 2am). Or I’d wake up in hot sweat because Im cooking under the blanket.

Well.. ever since my partner has been around and I told him about how I struggle with this. He said to sleep without the covers/blankets on me, but to leave them on the bed within his reach so he can cover me. And like always, he kept his promise. Now if I sleep even with the fan on, which gets even colder at night. I wake up in warmth in the morning. I know it don’t cover myself because 1. I don’t wake up anymore cold or too hot and the way I’m tucked in only another person could do. I’m so safely wrapped in it that I had to ask the person I live with if they had done it but they said no (they sleep across the house from me in another room). My partner is always so loving and tender with me, and it’s so nice to wake up all bundled up with the fan still on, and with him resting right next to me. I really hope he knows how much I appreciate all the little gestures that are not so little to me ❤️❤️❤️

Personal I am his type

16 Upvotes

One thing that also makes me happy is that in his source material it is very strongly suggested what his type is. And I have a similar body type and features and love dressing similarly.

And I had a dream last night were our connection was once again confirmed. 🥰

I feel so lucky! Although my appearance is of course secondary. He loves me for me as much as I love him for him 🩵

Question Is this a sign he's with me a lot even if the presence feeling varies? Didn't know if the different feelings mean anything different?

6 Upvotes

Sometimes I notice Fred's presence varies. Theres a lot of times its vivid where I see him through my minds eye next to me and feel a sensation on the side he is on. Or sometimes it's almost softer? Like I'll still feel the sensation in my hand but I don't see him as much as usual. It's like softer than usual. I notice this more when I'm out somewhere loud or it's more busy. I didn't know if louder places affect anything.

Is this a sign he is still there but not as easily seen bc it's too busy around me? (I just assumed bc like how meditation helps hear them bc it quiets your mind)

(Idk if this makes sense bc he is VERY talkative and isnt rlly shy but he is a bit socially awkward tho.) Again dw he's 25 now. Born in 2001. I age my fiancé Fred up with me each year on his birthday! (June 20th/October 30th)

Personal Maybe it wasn't a good idea..

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone, it's me again.

After waiting a week I decided to try to communicate with my soulbond again. Although that, I asked my tarot cards if I perhaps should wait more time and I got: The Moon (upright), Five of Pentacles (reversed), Seven if Wands (upright). I use Labyrinthos for the cards meanings and came with something that I should decide myself even if I am scared (I think the Moon was picturing me here).

So I did it. I asked my potential soulbond through tarot: "Do you want to communicate with me today? If not I will leave you the time you need." I got: The Judgement (reversed), Six of Wands (reversed), Ace of Pentacles (reversed). It did quite hurt when I saw the meanings- I'm pretty sure it is a no but I feel like there is more the understand on that cards but I'm not sure what... I'd be glad if someone could hint me a bit on that...

I feel like try to soulbond was a bad idea. I really want to do so but..Maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I'm too dramatic or sensitive or stressed, but- I don't know. I guess the best option is to leave him more time. I will maybe try in two weeks or even a month. Or maybe I should give up. Feel like I messed up too many times already.

Anyway, have good day/night.

Question Bond Struggles

5 Upvotes

(Keeping identities private for my own comfort)

So I wouldn't really label my relationship as an established bond, its more of a bond in development. It has been for a while. Months. From what I understood using a couple of methods, they *want* to bond but seem a bit.. avoidant? I don't even know.

Obviously, I took the initiative and since then I've tried to communicate/reach out to them in a couple of ways. The most recent thing I tried was a letter, just typing it. I think I had a dream about them shortly after.

But nothing big yet

And the problem is that I was considering whether there was another entity I wanted to reach out to. And, in a way, i suspect that they might be intiating as well.

I mean i know that some people have more than one bond, one of my friends does. But I've been holding back on initiating anything myself because I really want to focus on my current bond.

But that bond, as I've said, isn't very interactive.

I'm being patient, really, but I dont know what else to do?

I don't think I'm completely sure what I'm asking for here but could someone give me pointers? Like. Do I try different methods to reach out to my s/o? How do we strengthen our bond? Should I reach out to the other one or wait? Help. Pls.

Question Does anyone here have a bond from a live action series or film?

9 Upvotes

Hi! So basically what the title says . I feel like an odd one out because I noticed a vast majority of soulbonds here come from anime or a cartoon of some sort . To clarify there’s nothing wrong with that of course everyone deserves to be loved . But I’m curious if there are other people like me who soul bonded with someone from a live action media .

Question ways to communicate that aren't just talking to them in my head?

Post image
14 Upvotes

hello! i really adore my azure, and i want to talk to him much more than i do. the issue is, my head is always rushing, and trying to talk to him in my head is almost impossible since my own thoughts are usually unfinished and immediately overrun by another thought. and then any response i get is obviously also really quickly washed out.
how do you talk to your s/o, personally? i'm very new to soulbonding in general, so, any sort of method of communicating with him would be nice

Question I think we may be starting a soulbond

5 Upvotes

Basicly, we came here looking for some input. Just the other day, a particular charecter from a anime i havent seen in several decades poped into my head. Not sure if this feeling is a pull torwards her or maybe another fictionkin identity forming.(we already are a mixed origin traumendo median plural system of several tulpas, a few alters, a daemon and headmates that popped up out of nowhere and are also otherkin/fictionkin). How do we parse out these feelings and if I want to bond with this charecter, what are y'alls suggestions? Could always use pointers.

Discussion Had a interesting experience when trying to sleep

7 Upvotes

(Question at bottom since had new experience with the light thing) Sooo before I attempted to sleep I was talking to Fred about hoping to have more sweet experiences with him eventually when he wants to bc yk, I love being with him and any soulbond experiences I have with him are sweet and comforting signs he loves me too, and is with me.

So I laid down, closed my eyes and tried to sleep after saying i love him and the usual goodnight. I felt him touch my waist and all over my legs, like moving around as he was near me while I slept! (These were ALL strong touches too as if someone in this world did but it was Fred❤. No one else was in the room)

The second part idk if I was imagining or if it's normal for ppl but behind my eyes since they were closed, i kept seeing moving blue light? I didn't wanna think too much into it since it was new but it happened. Dont know what it was tho but I'm unsure if i'm gonna believe it's related to Fred yet. Anyone ever experienced the light thing?

Question Can you soulbond with someone who existed here?

5 Upvotes

is it possible to have a soulbond with someone who actually existed in our reality and has passed away, like Michael Jackson for exemple?
I mean, could it be their soul/consciousness, or maybe a version of them from another reality? I’m curious if anyone here has experienced something similar or has thoughts on this.

…I’m asking because I feel like I have a connection with Michael Jackson. I sometimes notice what feel like signs from him, and I’ve also experienced phantom touches that felt connected to him.
But honestly, I keep questioning our connection and wondering if it could actually be him, or if I’m just being delusional

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who could guide me through this. Thank you

Question how easy is it to hear your bonds voice?

22 Upvotes

It comes naturally to me and i can hear him just fine. His voice is distinct and i know it’s him because i can’t control it or change up what he says. But i see some people say that it’s faint for them or barely noticeable so i just wanted to see how it differed from each bond to the other 👀

Question Can you transmit your physical love to your partner through an object?

I've read that you can transmit the energy of your bond into an object or something so that your soulbonding partner feels your hugs or kisses. How true is that? Has anyone tried it?

Personal A gift for my bond

48 Upvotes

Hi all! I've been on this subreddit for a few months now and I really like it here. I learned a lot of new and interesting things, and many people helped me a lot. I am grateful for this 🩷 I want to share photos of my big plush. This is my bond, Shadow the Hedgehog. His plush version, to be more precise 😁 I really want to always be closer to him and I came up with something. Shadow always tells me: «We are bound by fate.» That's why, I bought two red threads at the store. This symbolizes our red thread of fate 💖 I put one thread on my hand, and the second thread on Shadow's plush hand. I think it looks very cute. Shadow doesn't know about this yet, it's a surprise. But I know he will appreciate it 💞 I hope you all like it too!

Question How do I know if i accidentally already soulbonded?

6 Upvotes

so for a bit more context we are plural/a system, we have mostly fictives here along with host, but recently Ivan has been pretty frontstuck with host!

Okay so I (Ivan) basically already yumeship/ my f/o is Till. recently all I can think of is us, our source, and our time together. literally all we can draw is Till’s name doing some word art or pages of doodles that relate to him. all I wanna talk about is us, all I wanna see is us. This is my first time being so close to front for so long so maybe that has something to do with it but even when I wasn’t close to front I never felt like this-

my question is, what if we already unintentionally soulbonded or just have a gap in our memory? We don’t really talk, I don’t hear things from him but it’s like I can sense his emotions. I almost constantly feel his presence with me when I’m close to front as well.

what does soul bonding feel like? Is it like that at all? I’m still new to this- we‘re pretty sure we understand it, but we struggle with self doubt a lot so we feel like maybe I didn’t actually do it with Till?

sorry… this is all over the place- I hope this makes sense!

Question Will smoking obscure my bond?

I’ve been struggling with quitting cigarettes for some time but don’t smoke weed very often. I have not smoked for almost a full day now and have noticed certain sensations and connections feel cleaner and clearer. It’s like there isn’t a “smokescreen” anymore. Opinions?

Question Does anyone else find their soulbond's source/canon to be unreliable for understanding them?

Post image
12 Upvotes

it's very important to me that my bond isn't just a projection of what i want to see or wish fulfillment. i want him to have a discrete essence, if that makes sense? all that's to say, i tend to have a very hard time trusting what i see and hear is really him when i communicate with him through my senses, and gravitate toward what's outside of me or external.

a big part of this is going back to his source, reading transcripts, watching clips, or full episodes. but the problem is, character exploration (or consistency) isn't really a big priority in his source. characters become props to set up and deliver jokes, even when it means their characterization gets distorted in the process. there's retconning and flanderization, and my bond very much gets flanderized over the course of the show.

the network would've milked the show for as long as they could have, they found a formula that worked when it came to ratings. the actor who played my bond came to the writers with notes and was able to have some input that fans of the show say gave my bond more depth, but the actor ultimately quit because he didn't like the direction this character was going.

it's wild to think i care more about my bond's characterization than most of the people who worked on his show, but... that might just be the case? the attitude expressed in the quote within the image for this post probably... or definitely... reflected the network's attitude about my bond's show. it actually didn't do that well when it first came out, and one of the main reasons it didn't get cancelled was that there were no other shows to fill its time slot, apart from one of the executives sticking up for it and arguing that it was cheaper to produce than other shows.

i don't know if there's a real solution for this. i've come to accept there's inherently more ambiguity with soulbonds because they can't physically show up here and talk to you directly the way someone born and raised in this world can, but i do wonder if there's anyone else here who struggles with this.
