Hey there systems who are mostly or only fictives, we're a favorite target of fakeclaimers so I just wanted to say that I believe you. I believe in your existence, your experiences, your personhood, and your right to a safe and welcoming community. You cause no harm by being alive.

[rainbowkuriboh]

okay do any other systems have the problem of “I’m not sure who I am because we have so many headmates we literally can’t remember all of them so I can’t go through the list to narrow it down unless I open simply plural” or is it just us

[rainbowkuriboh]

Get normaler about introjects by the way. This isn't limited to fictives, either. Get normal about factives as well. When I say introjects in my posts, I always include factives. Some people seem to forget that factives are included in introjection.

"Introjects aren't their source" Applies to factives.

"Plurals don't always control who they introject" Applies to factives.

Factives are always included in my support. I love you factives. You aren't creepy for simply existing.

Thanks.

Stop making fictives change their names

This is coming from a system that is bodily japanese (the culture most referenced in this debate)

Headmates from foreign media should not be forced to change their names. It's dangerous, especially for newly discovered fictives.

Not only that, but japanese is not a closed culture. It's very much open, especially to westerners

Fictives and systems are not here to appeal to others. Using names from foreign cultures in a respectful way harms nobody. POC have bigger issues to worry about, especially now.

Destigmatizing foreign names helps everybody. Doing so helps immigrants who have been forced to adopt a eurocentric name, POC children who have been given western names and feel disconnected from their culture, and any POC who has felt discriminated against because of their name.

Don't feel pressured to change ur name to suit others. You deserve to go by whatever name you want and you shouldn't b forced to give up such an integral part of ur identity

vessel for change …

we are plural and therefore constantly shifting by nature !! our body is a vessel to express ourselves and our changes

i think its important to aknowledge that, sometimes, staying connected to your source can be helpful.

like, ill try not to be too detailed for privacys sake, but me and another alter got into a lot of... conflict, in our source. and it was pretty much all me pickong on her. if you dont count our source, we're just very close alters who've never said a bad word about each other (and meant it). in fact she describes me as "sickeningly nice (to her)." but heres the thing... our sources, what happened in them, it still matters and effects us today.

for a long time we basically ignored that entirely - "it didnt happen" so we didnt have to worry about it. thats what we've been told is supposed to work in situations like this - telling yourself it didnt happen so you dont need to feel bad about it, worry about it, let it effect you. but that wasnt working.

a lot of hurt came from that. again im talking about my actual self so allow me to cut the details, but, it was pretty bad. we never got mad at each other, but we had to talk about things without acting like it never happened (even if it technically didnt according to most), actually aknowledge it.

this isnt "never source separate its evil and will hurt you," its just asking you to consider whether or not its good for you before doing it. so often i see it thrown up as The correct option for sourced folk and i just dont think it always is.

It can be a bit difficult at times to explain how our weird little soupy subsystem exists and functions within our overall system, so to provide a bit of a visual aid, we made a quick... comic? Infographic? Whatever this is!

happy pk;year new

Having fictives is so funny sometimes like. no he would not fucking say that. he told me so

[rainbowkuriboh]

[rainbowkuriboh]

i'm not sure if i have introduced myself yet. i am yudias! i am the current system co-host and i use both he and they pronouns.

we've been sleeping a lot and we've been having lots of bad headaches and it's debilitating and it feels like something's happening but we don't know what so things have been. waves hands

[rainbowkuriboh]

What they don't tell you about DID is that almost everything is just vibes. Literally just vibes. System mapping, inner world, knowledge about alters in general - vibes.

[rainbowkuriboh]

akinator but for systems to figure out who tf they are today

[rainbowkuriboh]

If we're splitting i'm going to throw something. Why. Whybare we splitting. Why is this necessary

[rainbowkuriboh]

Two things, since I saw some people talking about it and I want it to be easy to understand. I went back and tagged things now so this sort of stuff should be easier to reference in the future.

Fictionfolk is a complete word. The -folk isn't really a suffix to be tacked onto other words. Fictionfolk is an umbrella that encompasses all beings with fictional origin. Fictionkind, fictives, people with fictional hearthomes, fictionhearted people, other fictional headmates, fictherians, hosts of fictional systems, etc. It came about on the Dreamwidth community because I needed a quick and easy way to address everyone there. There are so many fictional entities and connected people that it's ridiculous to try and list them out all the time. It is also an option for people who know they're fictional in some way, but either don't know in what way they are (kin? soulbonder? fictionflicker? idk man I'm just here?), or they don't want to disclose the details for privacy reasons.

In hand with fictionfolk was Fictomere, which also came about on Dreamwidth. Again, for ease of use- I needed a way to talk about the subject of one's fictionality without being too wordy. When I ask a question meant for everyone, I need a single word to denote their kintype/headmate/source/world/etc. Fictomere is the subject. This also allows for privacy and vagueness, since you don't have to explain the nature of what the subject is. Don't want to admit to being fictionkind just yet? Cool, just call the character your fictomere and all the audience knows is that you have a connection to them, done and done.

The revival of -kind works more like suffix. It's the earlier version of otherkin, before the -d was quietly dropped. It serves two purposes, the first being exclusive to the Tumblr environment of the time. 1) Differentiates you from KFF who don't know the history involved, and giving an alternative to "kin" which, thanks to kinnies, some people have come to dislike. 2) It is more broad. It takes the focus away from the origin of your identity. You can nitpick about being 'kin or 'hearted or involuntary vs voluntary/spiritual vs psychological all day if you want, or you can just say that you are "of that kind". Maybe you don't know, or you don't want other people to know - and maybe your identity is too complicated and multi-faceted to put neatly in any box - saying that you are dragonkind, birdkind, horsekind, whatever, makes the connection clear and dependent on your explanations rather than assumptions.

I can't take full credit for the last one because it was already a word, I just dragged it back out and put it in people's faces for long enough that they realized they liked it. The climate of this social media platform gave it more relevance and necessitated an expanded meaning.

The system feeling when a voice in your head gives input on something you’re doing and it definitely wasn’t your own internal voice but you have no idea who just said that 😶
