hello! i’ve checked your faq but i’m so new and v. confused, so i thought i’d just ask. i understand what the term headmate is used for in regards to this community, but i am confused if its supposed to be completely different from what a person with dissociative identity disorder means when talking about their headmates, or if they mean the same and meant for people w DID but alters that are similar to fic characters? sometimes some say anyone can develop headmates but thats not how DID works?

First of all, just to clear things up, headmates have nothing to do with fictionkin or otherkin. Headmate as a term came about to describe…

I’m considering creating a spin-off new blog from this one, specifically a soulbonding ask/informational blog. Considering this because of the volume of soulbonding asks I’ve…

A long time ago you touched on the topic of “fictional others” when an anon brought it up. What do you think of people who have multiple fictional others?

I am in a predicament and need an opinion. so i’m a soulbonder and recently tried tulpamancing and I made a tulpa. Fast-foreward some and I’m trying to call out to a soulbond of mine.
