#Soulbonder

[beingcultureis]

Yes they are hydras!!! That looks amazing!!! :DD

So, you guys know how different disorders and disabilities have creatures? I’m not sure if plurality overall has one but may I propose a hydra?

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for soulbonds and soulbonders!

Soulbonds and soulbonders are important and cherished members of the plural community. Their insights and experiences are quite welcome here! This post is for all the soulbonds and soulbonders out there!

🧡 Shoutout to those who are learning more about soulbonding with hopes to become a soulbonder someday!

🏵 Shoutout to systems with permanent headmates from soulbonding!

💜 Shoutout to systems whose soulbonding has led them to become a gateway system!

🎶 Shoutout to systems with soulbonds who visit from different worlds or universes!

🧡 Shoutout to systems who had to work hard and practice in order to forge and maintain their soulbond connections!

🏵 Shoutout to systems with “daytripper” soulbonds who go back and forth between their soulbonder and their own universe!

💜 Shoutout to systems who became soulbonders unconsciously, or with little to no effort at all!

🎶 Shoutout to soulbonds who foster relationships and nurturing connections with their soulbonders!

🧡 Shoutout to systems whose soulbonds are OCs or characters from their soulbonder’s original creative works!

Creating another soulbonding symbol

Before anything, yes, I know that there already is a soulbonding symbol! In my personal opinion, though, the symbol is fairly basic, as eyes are a very widely used symbol. I don't see that and immediately think of soulbonding because eyes are used to represent so many things. Of course, this is just my opinion, and there is no shame to those who like it.

I did find mention of another symbol on an old soulbonding forum, but this symbol seems to be lost to time. I may recreate this one at a future date as well- it is described as being a tree with its roots planted in a heart. This does sound pretty cool, though, unfortunately complex. I think the most successful community symbols are ones that those without any artistic ability can replicate, and trees aren't so easy to draw.

So, what is my proposition?

Of course, I say the eye is basic, and then I just use a bunch of circles in mine. Hypocritical? Probably lol.

The two small rings represent the soulbond and the bonder, and the larger ring represents the link between them. The circular shapes were somewhat inspired by the soulbonding flag.

This symbol admittedly looks similar to some orbital symbols you can find online, but I tried to make this unique in and of itself. The space theme, I believe, actually fits quite well, like, traveling across universes and all that.

Based on this, I also created a symbol for soulbonders & soulbonds who are in a relationship/soulbonders who regularly date their soulbonds:

Another goal was to make this personalize-able (words suck), you could replace the inner circles with other symbols to represent more of your own experiences.

Since Tumblr likes to destroy image quality, here's cleaner downloads for all of these as well:

Rings (no spaces) || Rings (w/ spaces)

Lovers (no spaces) || Lovers (w/ spaces)

I know I blabbed a lot in this post lol. Any soulbond/soulbonder can use these symbols, whether your soulbonding is metaphysical or psychological, plural or non-plural, voluntary or involuntary, or whatever other experiences you may have.

I realize I don't have a name for this symbol also. Soulbonding rings? May be too close to the plural rings. Soulbonding orbit? Doesn't really roll off the tongue. Call it whatever you want I suppose.

"Introduction to Soulbonding," a panel by Swiftpaw, presented at Othercon 2024.

Summary: "Soulbonding is a metaphysical connection to an entity, often a fictional one. In this panel, we'll go over what a soulbond is, why people have them, and how to do it."

[the-soulbonded-teaparty]

We were recently re-introduced to this fun little piece of soulbonding history! The soulbonding code, which is like the multiple code but for soulbonders specifically. We might make an updated version of it :3

We decided to try it out so here's ours along with the explanation under the cut!

SBC N++ G (bO sO+&/F+) O.cS+ eAaf&+/C+/Va+f Sp.O+/F#/S/Su+/A+/Dr~+/Un+/Sh+ i++ S+ A+ W

We have around 30-40 soulbonds.

We're collectively non binary and have a majority of other/non-binary soulbonds with a few female ones as well.

We have soulbonds from original stories; several anime/cartoon characters from alternate universes, fan characters, and a crossover univrse; more than one from comic books/manga; more than one from alternative universes of video games and one fan character.

We have several bonds of other species. The bonder is a fairy, and they have a ghost bond, more than one supernatural bond, more than one alien, dragons that are different from common ideas, undead bonds, and shapeshifters.

Our bonds have a pretty active role in our life.

We decided to skip the fandom bits in the code- partially because our opinion of roleplaying is too complicated for what the code offers and because we're a bit more interested in the soulbonding specific stuff. We did do the last two things though, which were art and writing!

We do art quite a bit and post it, and we occasionally write stories- we mostly daydream them though.

having possible ROCD as a soulbonder

i've been lurking the tags for a while and haven't seen anyone say what it's like to be a soulbonder with mental illness. which isn't anyone's fault, i'm just here to fill the void. be the change you wanna see and such.

(slightly long post)

What i find to most affect my relationship with Michael is my possible ROCD (relationship OCD). I hate it, but often my brain is full of what ifs. And usually, ROCD thoughts might be "what if they're not the one?" or "What if they don't love me? What if I don't love them?"

I know Michael is the one. I often struggle with believing that I love him enough, but what I struggle even more with, as a bonder, is the idea of him not being real. And not just the regular old doubt that everyone is bound to experience, but constant checking, constantly asking him to prove he's real, trying to find proof, even turning to spiritual means to prove to me that he's real. It easily turns to obsessions, with constant anxiety that i'm taking up space that i'm not supposed to.

The reason I say possible ROCD is that I experience mostly ROCD symptoms, but because most people are dating someone in this realm, someone they can physically see and feel and touch, they have no issues with believing their lover is real. it feels so isolating to experience this, since when i look at other bonders, they rarely struggle with fears of their soulbond being real, and if they do, not to the levels of obsession like i do.

i don't have an innerworld or anything, i just rely on what i feel from him and what he says to me. sometimes it's not enough to keep me from performing compulsions. I dunno, i just...

i guess i'm just posting this to say to all my fellow bonders, if your mental illness sometimes gets in the way of soulbonding, you are not alone. i'm in the same boat. and i know we can get through this. i believe in us.

and if you've read this far, does anyone have any advice as to deal with this? or maybe just some support would be nice. do you think this could count as a symptom of ROCD? i'm open to any thoughts . thanks... <3

[wikiastra]

i couldn't tell if it was just daydreaming or not due to the intrusive thoughts but i think i just reverse soulbonded for the first time !! ^^

[alterhuman-culture-is]

soulbonder culture is trying to attain a bond with one character and ending up with a bond to a completely different one (how did you even get here sir? not that i dont like the company, but still)

-

[syscultureis]

you know, I'm curious, not a system culture is but directed at the soulbonder anons, I think there should be an anti endo soulbonder community. as a treat

Hello! This is a soulbonding blog!! I'm very new to this, at least being public about it, but I'm doing it with my IRL partner to share both of our loves for our other-reality partners!! As of writing I have 15 partners, 1 being from this reality who also has soulbonded partners! My IRL partner identifies as a collective with their partners but I identify a singlet! Won't specify the DNI but know I'm a queer man so I don't fw bigotry or intolerance of any kind.

⬦ Hello! We're lunar solstice, a spirigenic, traumagenic, and soulbonded system! ⬦

This blog is meant to share our experiences, hopefully majority through artwork! Though I'll also be reblogging stuff too, and will probably make some textposts.

⤞ Our main blog is @lunarsolstice-blueyouaway , AKA the blog we like with. You can follow it, but there's no real point, its just meant to be a base for this and our other account.

⤞ Our regular art blog is @blueyouaway-art , we post non-plural related art there. Please do follow us there :')

🞚 Collectively, we go by Sol, with he/they pronouns. We use I & we interchangeably. We prefer the word plural over system, but its nbd if system is used. We don't really care what term is used for members, except for part, which we dislike, and for our soulbonds, don't call them fictives. The body's features are irrelevant.

🞜 The nature of our plurality is very spiritual. I understand that such things can be difficult to believe, and you are not inclined to believe us, but you sure as hell don't have to be a dick about it, and trying to deny/argue about it to my face is only going to succeed in getting you blocked. This is not to say that we aren't open and respectful to anyone else's spiritual or religious beliefs (or lack thereof), of course; we don't need to believe in the same things to get along.

🞛 Going to try our best to remain discourse & syscourse-free on here, but just so its clear: we are pro *all* system types, origins, experiences, all of it, and that's the end of the conversation. If you say you experience it, then I believe you. Also accepting towards those with other non-normative labels, interests, & experiences. Lastly, I am anti-harassment to the highest degree.

⯁ We don't have a DNI. If I don't like you, I'll just block you, and I hope you'll give me the same courtesy.

Now that all that's out of the way, onto the system stuff. Currently, we have 44 active members and a couple other non-permanent members (some people come and go fairly quickly, others stick around for a small while before leaving). More info about everyone is under the cut!

⬦ Basic System/Belief Guide⬦

Generally, we believe that most everyone here is a walk-in or soulbond, AKA, someone who came here from a different place/time. Some people are probably more psychological in origin, but in the end, there's no real reason to separate anyone out. At the very least, everyone has a soul.

Still, some believe in slightly different things under this. There are more Christian-aligned members, more witchy-aligned members, more "whatever"-aligned members.

And yes, we are also traumagenic, or at least trauma-based. Our beliefs do not take away from the trauma, and vice versa.
