If there is ONE post talking about soulbonding's origins I wish #soulbondtwt would read, it's this one by one of the people that was in the same mailing list as Amanda Flowers (the one who coined the term): https://t.co/qUGfHFUfAp

@localnifttystan @strosrae Soulbonding is when a person in this reality can connect and communicate with a person known as a fictional character in this universe. It can be a psychological phenomenon or something metaphysical/spiritual based in multiverse theory
@loseryumes We have evidence from a website made in 2002, one of the OG soulbonders, that it is soulbond = the connection and the “character”, soulbonder = the person in this reality who connects to the character, and soulbonded = being connected to the character.
@SweeteaaHunBun @74thKabu It’s actually been around since 2016! It just has a team of less than 10 workers and is 100% user-funded, so they work slow, but dedicated.
I am alterhuman, no matter where my identity comes from, it is just part of who I am. You can’t tell me how I think about it or what it *actually* is. Stop misconstruing my words.
I’ve been… having a really, really rough time of it lately. Really want to just cut off a part of who I am because no one understands, but I can’t.
I’ve had so many panic attacks or just plain sobbing. Absolutely sick to my stomach too. This is hell.
@toothersgoofers@v4mpz_spam No soulbonding wasn’t connected to yumeship until recently. The original soulbonders were writers and they soulbonded to their original characters. Soulbonding originally meant an author’s connection TO their character, but expanded to be any character you had a connection with
@v4mpz_spam@toothersgoofers Soulbonding isn’t always spiritual too! I’ve been a psychological soulbonder for 9yrs and the coiners of the term back in 1998 were all psychological soulbonders.
★° . °☆ Soulbond gimmicks! A safe space for soulbonders to talk about their bonds!
While they might be related, please note this is NOT a space for yumeshippers! This is for soulbonders only, and there are already many yume gimmick accounts.

You can tell when someone only learned about soulbonding through Twitter. Soulbonding wasn't inherently spiritual. Anyone can be soulbond, regardless of spiritual beliefs. It is something YOU can do. You don't have to wait for someone to call out to you.
I'm losing my mind at everyone spreading that it's a spiritual practice when that erases psychological soulbonders. You don't even need to believe in the multiverse theory unless you're a spiritual soulbonder. Every soulbond is different, not everyone works the SAME.
I love psychological soulbonders!! My experiences are spiritual and tied to other preexisting beliefs I have I approach them with this lens, but this is not the /only/ way. You don't necessarily have to be spiritual at all to be a soulbonder
