#Persecutor alter

[fvck-around-find-out]

Bitter pill for some of you "good" alters to swallow, but some "bad" alters split because you needed someone to hate.

Some persecutors act the way that they do precisely so you'll direct your hate onto them, where it's safe, rather than anger your abuser or abuse an innocent yourself.

Maybe actually unpack why you hate that alter before you do. "But they did this or that or" yeah, maybe they fucking did. But why did they do it? Just to be a cunt? Maybe. Sometimes sure. But sometimes you need to look a little deeper and give your brain some fucking credit – it can do some messed up shit to keep you safe. Including creating an amalgamation of morally bad behaviour that you can feel good about taking your anger out on.

Except, sometimes, that amalgamation has feelings and a name and know what their job is, and don't enjoy it. They do it because it's the only way to guarantee you're not going to cuss out your abuser and get you all hurt or killed.

Embrace evil alters. Yes, the antagonistic, destructive, angry ones. The ones with horrible fantasies about revenge, the ones who want to powertrip. The ones with manipulative tendencies. There’s a reason they split and exist in the system.

persecutors can be real fucking assholes and it can be really really hard to live with one. as someone whos tried to die cause of this shit, lets talk about it a little. its getting late at night so this wont be massive.

dont abuse ur persecutors more - do you think that the "i was abused and now am acting in a harmful way" person will appreciate more continuing abuse. try not to isolate them, lock them away, etc. theres a lot of advice like "dont ever" but i understand that you dont want your life to be in danger and you probably have fucking work to do

make it inconvineitn - if persecutors are feelong a bit stabby, keep your knifes blunt. make money slightly more annoying to access. hang around people who know. make it harder for them just a bit.

learn to tune it out/make peace with it - this is really really hard depending on what theyre doing or saying but if you can and there isnt much reconciling with them then this is a good idea. try to learn to not internalise it

talk to them - if possible talk about what they want or why theyre doing this. whats pissing them off. how u can help. make jokes. introduce them to life experiences. some persecutors probably are just malicious dickhats but most are not.

maintain a relationship - keep talkingf to them. keep doing this.

dont use a conditioning style of punishment, like if you are mean to em i dont let you do a thing you like or see the sun. this can be really triggering and framer you as an enemy, a threat, or just an asshole. they are not dogs.

persecutors reading: i dont know you. your systme needs to treat you like a person. and you need to try in order for it to work. i believe in you. the future can get better but u need to be [art of that change. maybe try merge dragons that helped one of our guys

Maybe this only applies to me but I made the meme anyway and now it's free.

Hello persecutors, or whatever you choose to call your role! Friendly reminder that no matter what you believe, you aren't evil. You are not wrong for existing. You are the way you are for a reason.

Does this mean you shouldn't heal? No. Of course not. You deserve happiness. Quite often, reformed persecutors turn out to be some of a systems best caretakers and protectors, but whatever your healing journey looks like, you deserve happiness.

And to those that deal with persecutors, I know it's hard, but be patient. That is a part of you, show yourself some love. Having persecutors is not a moral failing on your part. Shit takes time.

“Persecutors are EVIL! Don’t let your persecutors talk to me they scare me! I don’t care if they’re healing they’re a PERSECUTOR!” Kill yourself.

There's a trend we've noticed a lot (though it's far from recent) of just. Sharing details of exactly how your persecutor headmate is hurting you/your system right out there in public tags or posts, shaming them for it, sometimes encouraging users to tell your headmate off publically, and otherwise degrading stuff. My system is of the stance that abusing persecutors just comes back to bite you and doesn't help anyone grow or change, which I'm thankful for seeing as I am a persecutor. But not everyone has that stance.

I think it's important to note that regardlss of your opinion on what should happen to persecutors, harming them back while you share a body has a lot more of a chance to cause further issues in the future, seeing as you can't usually just remove them. Or hell at the very least maybe people shouldn't be so openly encouraging of abusing their headmates toward other systems in a public space. But how I think you should treat your persecutors isn't exactly the point of this post.

Posting details of any in-system abuse online is still posting details of abuse online--personal, private, unsafe information that can be used against you. The internet at large is not a safe place no matter how much you try to make it so. You could have these details of abuse posted to cringe sites, receive harrassment based on it, get people telling you that you did deserve it among many other things. Not everyone wants to hurt you online, but there are people who just want to cause a scene, and you're handing them all the keys to hurt you. If you need to vent, do it privately. If you simply must post it in the tags for whatever reason, because I know not everyone will be stopped--at least put a warning tag on it so other systems don't have to see your graphic detailed accounts of things going on in your brain without so much as a warning against reading it.

I have an idea, mind telling the audience what the difference between a PERsecutor and a PROsecutor is? I get pissed off when people mix upon the terms.

A PERsecutor Hurts People WITHIN The System.

A PROsecutor Hurts People OUTSIDE The System.

You CAN BE BOTH A Prosecutor And A Persecutor, But DON'T Get The Terms Mixed Up.

Hey, mildly specific positivity post, but...

Throwing some positivity towards systems whose pre-syscovery experience was having a "mean voice" or a cruel "voice of reason" who told you horrible things or parroted what others had told you prior. ...That voice turning out later to be an alter who you now had to learn to work with to stay functional, especially after the traumatic period passed and their role waned in necessity. Positivity to those who used to have multiple of these voices/sides.

So positivity to the alters who were that voice of hostility and then evolved. Positivity to the ones who still act like that. Positivity to the ones trying to get better. Positivity to the ones who aren't trying because they aren't ready or aren't safe yet.

Positivity to the alters who had to bear the brunt of that behavior and have rebuilt that relationship. Positivity to the ones that bore the brunt of that behavior and haven't repaired that relationship. Positivity to the ones trying to make it better and friendlier. Positivity to the ones who can't fix it yet but want to. Positivity to the ones who don't want to make it amiable.

We were maybe a third grader when we could hear an unrelenting, methodical voice that told us we were worthless. It talked to us like a second person, and that voice eventually became Chatter B. We'd taken note of it in a moment of clarity once on how odd it was to hear a voice talk to me so harshly, but not 'as' me. I called her Reason. She was the first.

She's since changed shape and form, even changed name a couple times, seemingly fused with others, fractured again, and became the now meshy orbit of around ~10 we see her as today. But I love ya, [name Redacted], you were an asshole but you kept us alive. Props for that. I'm glad we can move on now that shit's over <3

It’s okay for alters with violent urges to exist, or alters that are cruel, defensive and take sort of a „get them before they get me“ approach to life.

I think healing is also about accepting that being abused can turn us cruel. Being abused can make us crave power over other people to finally get to be the one in charge instead of being helpless and abused.

There’s no point in demonising alters with those thoughts and feelings. You’ll never outrun them anyways, they’re part of you. And these alters are often the ones who took on the most damage, that had to develop that mindset of survival and lack of empathy.

Acceptance can make that less threatening and less likely to end in escalation as well. In the end those alters also just wanna feel understood and seen like any other person on earth.

[ghost-jester-sys]

yall arent fucking accepting of alters that do "abnormal" or "harmful shit"

u shame us.

fuck off.

sorry for being a persecutor

Persecutory Administrator, Janusian Administrator

Persecutory Administrator - An alter that has a high degree of control over the system(or specific subsystem or layer) and system functions, that uses this power predominately to harm the system or specific alters.

Janusian Administrator - An alter that has a high degree of control over the system(or specific subsystem or layer) and system functions, that uses this power to both harm and help the system. Or the actions of a Janusian Administrator help the system in some ways and hurt the system in others.

hey chat, did you know that taking away a persecutor's only reason for behaving behind his back is a really bad idea :)

[collectivelyjane]

Persecutor culture is having too many emotions at night to keep up with personal hygiene so the host has to buy me colgate wisps and face wipes to make sure I still keep us clean while being in control.
