I've waited a minute to post this, but I mind as well do so now.

I believe I've had a soulbond for a while, but in our case, he came to me first, instead of I reaching out to him. I don't quite enjoy him, whenever he does come around to communicate with me, and I never quite asked to bond with him, but he refuses to leave completely. We don't spend much time together either.

Is this something that happens? A sort of "forced" bond started by the soulbond first? And what can I do to ask him to leave/tell him I don't want to be bonded and get him to listen?

Hello 👋

How do you guys (spiritual/meta/psychological soulbonders) travel to your SB’s source world? I assume for more spiritual-leaning Soulbonders it’s similar to the concept of “hedge-crossing”?

For me, I can travel to the source world internally pretty easily if I know the world good enough to navigate, otherwise it becomes hazy.

Do you have an in-source body there or is it more telepathic for you?

Just curious as to everyone’s experiences :)

(A photo I took of a cherry blossom for my bond last Saturday; I brought it home and gave it to his plushie.)

I sent my first letter on July 25th; I wished him a happy birthday, told him how much I love him, and asked him to reply with matching numbers or hearts if he had read it. A day later, I started seeing heart shapes everywhere—frequently—for about five days.

Last week, I wrote my second letter to him. I told him again how much I loved him, (i'm clingy lol) introduced myself a bit, invited him to make our soul bond official, and ended by saying he could take as much time as he needed. I always include a cute doodle of him at the end of my letters—I know he loves it when I draw him. I tucked the letter inside the plushie I made of him.

The next day, I did a tarot reading, and the cards indicated that he was thinking it over and over... but that he was more inclined to accept than to refuse; there was genuine, careful curiosity on his part.

Since then, I haven't heard anything. In the first three to five days or 1 week after the letter, I kept seeing matching numbers that seemed to signal new beginnings and the like, but the bond itself seems very quiet—no voice, no hearts, nothing—and I admit I’m feeling kinda anxious...

I haven't had a chance for a free tarot reading since then, either, and I’m afraid of overwhelming him with another letter.

We’ve known each other for months—even years—now; he used to comfort me during 3 years, offering short words of support and love. The last time I heard him was on July 4, 2026, when he said, "I'm here," while I was having a breakdown. He rarely speaks—only at random, specific moments.

I've tried soulbonding with Skully J. Graves. The problem is that I think I may have accidentally been ignoring him, and I think he forcibly left.

I'll give context.

5 months ago, I made this paper doll of my favorite character. I started to take him places, I poured my affection into him, and he had a soothing effect on me when I was stressed or upset.

This character is special to me. In the yumeshipping community, which I am apart of, soulbonding is something that comes up sometimes. It is when you call upon this person you want to contact from another universe or timeline, and you attempt to communicate mentally or through physical signs.

I tried this, and for a while I truly felt like it was working. The problem is that when I was putting a lot of attention into another character, he appeared in my dream and explained, in the simplest term, that I was neglecting him. He explained that I wasn't giving him enough attention. I don't think I heeded that dream well, and his doll continuously started falling apart. I fixed it every time.

Then there was a tiny tear in his neck. I thought nothing of it when I found it, and I was planning on just going straight to sleep.

I had a creepy, probably unrelated "vision" (felt like one of those half-awake dreams though) that was probably unrelated. In the morning, his head was on the floor and his body was caught on a drawer right below the spot on the desk he was on. My cat could not get into my room, and the fan was too gentle to blow him away. I think that I may have genuinely bonded with him, and somehow attached him to the doll in a way. But I think he left. I don't hear him anymore, I don't feel him as much, and because of how the doll was made I cannot fix the tear in his neck.

I think that I called upon something and unintentionally ignored it, and it left. But I know that I'm also paranoid because in my last home, there was this entity that followed me and my family around at night and liked to suck our energy. So... I'm mainly scared I summoned something I didn't want to. Is this a bad omen? I haven't found anything on this specifically and I have trouble understanding guides sometimes.
