《 Pinned Post 》

Nestled deep in the heart of the woods lies a home known as Winrey Place—a sanctuary for characters in need of comfort, belonging, and above all, love. We are Mel and Lav, munbonders who have diligently woven together this beautiful tapestry of a chosen family since 2016. Each munbond who enters our lives brings so much value to us and we cannot wait to share their stories with you all.

Meet the Winrey Place Collective FAQ Tags List

What we will post/reblog here includes:

General history, resources, and guides on soulbonding

Posts that remind us of our munbonds

Funny and interesting stories about our family

Interactions with the wider plural community

The wisdom and experiences we have accumulated over the years from sharing munbonds together

Our alterhuman identities

Miscelife lifestyle identities

Immersive daydreaming & the Living Character Phenomenon

and more!

Notes & Disclaimers:

We’re okay with doubles!

All of us are over the age of 18.

Our munbonds have all evolved beyond their original sources and most of them no longer have any connection to their canonical universes.

Some posts may not be rebloggable if they are personal to our family, but you can still engage with them through replies and likes!

We’re happy to answer any questions about soulbonding or our family at any time; if you have an ask for a particular munbond, we will make sure they respond!

We’re quick to block users who exhibit racism, fatphobia, queerphobia, ableism, etc., as well as those who are pro-harassment, anti-endo, anti-cringe, anti-otherkin/alterhuman, and anti-kink. We are a diverse group of queer, polyamorous, neurodivergent, disabled, alterhuman, and kinky people and do not tolerate bigotry or hateful discourse.

Sorry if the answer is obvious (I am not 100% sure) but can I use the term munbonder if my soulbonds are exclusively psychological BUT I also have a tulpa (who I only see as "psychological" too)?

As long as it is all psychological, is it fine to use the term?

Absolutely!!

It's also possible to have something called a "tulbond" which is a tulpa-soulbond hybrid where it needs both the typical forcing/developing found in tulpamancy and the connection + intuiting found in soulbonding/munbonding.

Soulbonding is not inherently serious.

Sorry, I like going against the grain and that’s a big title LOL. By this, I don’t mean the practice of soulbonding is unserious, no. Or that they aren’t real connections. What I mean is soulbonding is not some thing you need to prep extensively for. Soulbonding does not inherently mean you plan to share a life, a body, or anything with them. Because soulbonding is only one thing — a connection. And you can have any relationship with this connection, from emotionally close to an acquaintance you see once in a while. Bodily present or no interest in the body/your life at all! The cool thing about soulbonding is it tends to allow for relationships you genuinely might find hard to hold up in this world — complicated ones, messy ones, ones you can’t easily label to people but are invaluable and unique. I have various relationships with those I’m connected to.

Some are deeply, truly close to my heart. I couldn’t imagine ever being without them. Others are my ride or die even if we talk less often and I still trust them with everything. Some I’m just befriending and feels so comfortable, safe, and happy around them, just like my casual irl buddies! Some are a mentor figure, some are complicated, and some I see many times a week while others are more sporadic, spur of the moment. I’m not yet so deeply, emotionally connected to every person. But connecting does mean I feel a deep sense of care, and this care creates different, varying and valid relationships between all of them. After all, different people exist to have different relationships, not all be the same. And you know? Some I connected simply by reaching out and going “You’re cool. This is what soulbonding is. Wanna try it and be my friend?”

No stakes or any pressure other than an ask for a tentative friendship. Sure, you can ask for permanent residents. People to leave everything behind and join you. But you can also want nothing of the sort (see; day trippers and telephone connections) — or they want nothing of the sort. Mine never had any interest in living my life or in my body, even when I went in expecting it. When I soulbond casually, it is extremely low stakes. We reach out and talk sometimes. Sometimes we get closer. I’ve also soulbonded unintentionally with an immediate, serious relationship with strong feelings. I believe my own feelings and hopes/desires make me connect to someone who shares those feelings. After all, I tried to hold back out of respect, yet they seemed to like me a great deal similarly anyway. (Originally, I even tried to convince myself I must be making it up and need to stop… even though none of it I expected or was doing intentionally. I now learned to not meanly doubt them, haha.)

This isn’t me saying it’s bad to approach it serious. It absolutely can be if that’s all you want. But the concept to me that it will inevitably be is untrue, it can be low stakes. Likewise, if you do want to go in wanting a serious relationship, that’s fine! Because as long as both parties agree, that’s all that matters! I don’t believe in the concept that any approach or desire is bad. The same way hookups are fine if both parties want and enjoy it, approaching soulbonding for casual or serious relationships are fine! (Yes, I include hookups in there. I know, scandalous.) You have the power to say no, they do too.

Anyway, I think this casual approach is really freeing. I have some people I’m invariably linked to and devoted to for life. It’s entirely because of how they are as people, soulbonded or not. And I have some I chat with maybe a few times a month just to catch up and hang out. I love my casual friends and I love my partners I want to be with forever.

The one linking factor between all my soulbonds is I care a whole lot about them and want to be connected! And as long as they do too, I’m probably not gonna stop making new friends and new connections. Turns out I’m a soulbond social butterfly. And I don’t want people to feel limited by ideas of exclusivity, that they must approach with the expectation of a type of soulbond or prepare for the worst, or that they cannot want a fun, low-stakes mutual relationship vs. something more committed. You can connect a whole bunch for no other reason than you’re social and it’s fun meeting new people! And I’d miss out on making so many amazing connections if I never decided to start soulbonding just for the fun of meeting new people!

I think it was really interesting soulbonding first outside of self-shipping spaces. I wanted to talk to them, but I didn’t even know what soulbonding was. And I felt so wrong, alone, and confused in my experience that didn’t fit any framework I read about until I learned of the word and found the community! I found a place where my experience made sense, and wanted to expand my horizons!

Afterwards I looked into selfshipping. Many soulbond, I had learned! But unfortunately with that came a buttload of misinformation. Blatantly rejecting the history of soulbonding, retconning the meaning to befit a spiritual only belief, and incredibly hypocritical anti-endo sentiment (how can you fully accept someone soulbonding— communicating with someone in their head and other means, but reject the idea of parogenic plurality? They are practically cousins!) This idea that it’s rare, they have to reach out first, only certain people can do it… all false. Anyone can, it’s not some secret, difficult, closed spiritual practice! You can have plenty easily, not just one or two!

Even before then, I had bad run-ins with the plurality-adjacent side. The idea that intimacy with a soulbond immediately was wrong — and it made me question if I’d be judged or shunned. A power imbalance? They aren’t people I hold any power over. It is entirely individual who holds “power” in a relationship soulbond wise, just like in this world. A relationship is chosen between the parties — a romantic one is merely a type, just like platonic, or other! Consent is all that matters. I argue the idea intimate is “bad” while platonic is “okay” is a brand of a amatonormative purity culture.

This disparity creates a divide between the two sides of soulbonding — plurality and selfshipping. Both are ultimately soulbonding. But plenty on the plurality side hate the rampant misinformation and rejection in the selfshipping side, some also dislike the focus on romance. While plenty on the selfshipping side veer towards rejecting psychological soulbonding, anti-endo sentiment, and forming their own bubble to coin the term while ignoring the history and existent community.

We’ve made a space where we tried to combine the two, and it’s so lovely when plural folk, soulbonders, and causal or serious self shippers and fictos all get along without the bad blood!! We hope these sort of spaces can spread.

We’re all soulbonders! and I wish the community wasn’t so divided. Without the plurality side of soulbonding I would’ve never understood my experience, and without the selfshipping side, I never would’ve felt comfortable talking about my relationships in depth now. I genuinely, truly hope that one day selfshipping-soulbonding and plurality-adjacent soulbonding won’t be so divided.

[gideonisms]

they should invent an autism accommodation that's like: okay so there's a guy next to you and whenever you have a conversation and you know you've chosen the wrong dialogue option, you can later present it to him for review and he can tell you why. And then whenever you run out of the energy to do your own pr rep he simply takes over your body and comes up with the correct phrasing and tone to explain what you want to get across. So basically noise-cancelling headphones are NOT going to solve all my problems and we need intermittent demon possession

[gideonisms]

in my revolutionary Guy Next To You autism accommodation plan the Guy will also alert you when you should ask people to alter their behavior and when you should not. Sometimes you're annoyed at people for having a haircut that is bad. Sometimes you're annoyed at them for asking you out three times after you've said no. But many situations fall in between these two extremes, and Guy Next To You will help you determine which are actionable

[parasite-brained]

Liked a character so much they ended up in my head! You could also do this for just the low low price of the loneliness in your brain!

[shitpostingkats]

Shoutouts to characters that don't know the facade isn't their real self. Shoutouts to characters who put up a front so long ago that they have now forgotten it's all an act. Shoutouts to characters who no longer know who they are because they think they're being sincere. Shoutouts to performers so good they fool even themselves. Shoutouts to characters who fall for their own lies.
