Read, reblog, and resonate!
I really like your soul bonding interpretation.
could you tell me more about the one sided love, basically. how could the monster end up being because of the need of his friend/soul partner to love them back- to give back what they give?
I'm not sure if I made sense lol, sorry if it didn't.
I was writing some Powder x reader content while I saw this. Nearly dropped my phone having my first ask teehee. Anyways
It's okay! I think I understood? I'll give two sections just in case. I'll try to explain. I think what you were asking how the monster could have a soul bond through one sided love? Well, it's a matter of what the established relationship is first.
Two things come to mind
For a soul bond to form it would first have to be through a platonic soul connection. Let's say you fall in love with your best friend but can't share this. The wavelengths would differ, even if there are moments in between where they resonate. It's like playing two songs that may have the same lyrics or tune, but nonetheless they're different for their own reasons. The soul can recognize this, but in practice the two individuals won't be able to. The only one able to really notice this is the one in love, because it becomes more obvious in their soul that it's sharing what it wants
The second route would be if only one person fell in love but the other did not before a soul bond. It's like strings of a rope, very faint wavelengths connecting but not building into something more. If one soul utterly rejects the idea of wanting a romantic bond, the souls will react based on the individual. For some, no bond will form except for the small strings of understanding. For others, it changes and adapts
Okay now maybe I read what you said wrong. If you were talking about like- how one soul would have to receive in order to properly give- then I can try answering right here. Soul Bonding is through a matter of consent. Both individuals can feel a certain way, but it won't strengthen their bond unless they're sharing the same connection. Simply, the souls can still share wavelengths, but it won't progress into something more unless they both understand one another/the individuals understand one another. Two different songs are playing, even if they might sound the same at first. I hope I answered your questions, and if not I'm very sorry. I was making that post in a state of delirium, possessed by ramblings and Uber Autism🫡
