Are "head mates" entity possessions? I don't think everyone who claims it is pretending, even if a lot of them are.
>>42679225>everyone who claims it is pretendingOr they're crazy, but, yes.
>>42679225Consciousness splits induced by trauma.Entities experiencing their own world overlapping with yours.Voices from the future.Voices from the past.It's a network.
>>42679225No, it's common to many authors to create their characters in their head like that, and have dialogs play themselves instead of thinking about what a character would do.I can't rule out the possibility that in a few exceptions, it's a visiting spirit rather than an entity they created, but even then I wouldn't call it "possession".
>>42683285>but even then I wouldn't call it "possession".what about when they "front"?
>>42683326Well, "possession" usually is used with a negative connotation. But if this channeling/ is not causing anything negative, then I suppose it's fine.Coming to think of it, maybe "multiple personalities" is more apt to describe head mates.
>>42679225i really like that pic. i resonate with that.
>>42683285>>42683489I'm gonna be real, I think while King was loaded up on some shit white writing IT he unknowingly tapped into something and Pennywise is a form of a fictional character meant to be a warning to people about entities and what they can do and how to combat them.
>>42683489What even is headmates? New newspeak on the block.
>>42685444Been wondering that myself, I guess they feel funny about saying thought form, tulpa, or just entity.
>>42679225if the entity has a soul, then it depends solely on your definition of possession.If they're not the default controller for the central nervous system, then it's more like residence. Spectator mode. They're anchored to the body so their means of perception for the world is through the body, but they would need to override the default CNS controller to manipulate the physical body.If they are the default controller of the CNS, then you could say that they're possessing the body but that's because you people like to think that the physical flesh vehicle is your property.If they entity doesn't have a soul, then it's just a complex LARP.>>42685444>>42685457A co-habiting entity anchored to the physical body.
>>42679225I think it’s the idea that souls are indivisible is just plain wrong, and it’s perfectly possible for them to split. Some plural people be it through intention or trauma have split souls, and others experience the visitation of alien spirits or possession. Perhaps we are all headmates split off from some grand oversoul.
hm
It is so weird to me that people like this exist >>42679257 did you know some people who can't imagine multiple voices don't even have a voice at all, are you one of them?
10 years ago head mates was considered mentally ill woke tumblr girl shit, now we are discussing it in earnest on /x/. Huh
>>42685457Yeah sounds more like imaginary gf turned succubi or egregore.>>42686799Thanks chummer. Astral gfs are superior but that's been a hot decade.
