Being an introject is all fun and games until the exotrauma

[the-hadal-zone-sys]

Shoutout to brainmades with exomemories. Shoutout to introjects with non-canon/non-factual exomemories.

Your memories are just as real and valid, and it's okay to be affected by them.

exotrauma is a general term for traumas that the body did not experience. it can include, but isn't limited to: plurality, kins, immersive daydreamers, and more

exotraumas can affect someone so much as traumas that they bodily experienced, specially for those who still feel connected to this trauma in some way

how it feels discussing exotrauma

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for introjects without source memories!

Source memories are not a requirement or a prerequisite for an introject to form. In fact, there are many introjects out there who formed with no source memories whatsoever, and that’s okay! This post goes out to all the introjects out there without source memories!

🌸 Shoutout to introjects who feel bad or lesser than other introjects due to not having source memories!

🌱 Shoutout to introjects whose lack of source memories makes it difficult for them to fit into introject spaces and communities!

🌼 Shoutout to introjects who are comfortable and happy with their lack of source memories!

🌱 Shoutout to introjects who have amnesia surrounding source memories, or had source memories at one point, but have since forgot them!

🌸 Shoutout to introjects who still connect and identify with their source despite not having source memories!

🌱 Shoutout to introjects who have pseudomemories or exomemories which are not tied to their source in any way!

🌼 Shoutout to introjects with memory issues who genuinely don’t know whether or not they have source memories!

🌱 Shoutout to introjects who formed with no memories at all and had to start from scratch with learning about the world around them!

🌸 Shoutout to introjects who feel unwelcome or excluded in the plural community due to a lack of source memories!

🌱 Shoutout to introjects without source memories whose source is simply not a big part of their life or something they think a lot about!

There are limitless ways to be an introject and to experience life as a system member sourced from something else. Introjects without source memores have always been and will always be such special, valid, and treasured members of our spaces and the systems they inhabit! If you are an introject without source memories, we want to remind you that you are still loved just the way you are. You don’t need to have source memories in order to be accepted as a headmate or as an introject.

We hope all introjects without source memories can have a wonderful day today. Remember that you are important and valued as you are today, right now, and you don’t need source memories at all in order for these things to be true! We hope that you can find some peace, joy, and self-acceptance in your life, if not today, then sometime soon. Until then, know that we care about you and we are rooting for you in all that you do!

[the-alarm-system]

hello headmates in systems who have exotrauma and triggers related to that trauma that the body may not have relation to, your trauma and triggers are real and valid even if they didn’t happen in this physical reality :3 love u guys forever

i think i finally cracked the code of where exactly angels come from in my exomemories and it shook me to my core.

i don't remember very much about my life pre-fall, and have mostly come to terms with that. but even as a fallen angel i feel so intrinsically linked to stars and suns as if i used to be one. i have a sun tattoo both on the body and in headspace. i almost named myself eos, back when i couldn't remember the name given to me when i was created.

now that i've thought about it more, i've started to remember bits and pieces of how angels were even created in the first place. we couldn't have just been created out of thin air, right? of course not. i think angels are, in part, formed from materials that can be found in the vastness of space. things like stardust, dark matter, plasma, etc.

so that clarifies to me exactly why i feel so connected to such things. it makes so much more sense now. of course i identify with things like the sun and stars, i was created from them.

We recently saw a post about exomemories that interested us, but to avoid detracting from the point of that post, we're making this one ourselves.

The community often focuses on vivid exomemories, ones you can easily understand and tell others about, but it's alright if yours aren't like that. We ourselves often experience memories – whether exo- or from this life/world – as more general knowledge than, like, flashbacks or whatever. We know things without knowing how we know them. Sometimes we get flashes of "Yes, this feels right." or "This reminds me of something I can't put my finger on." We miss things that are hard to put into words, or instinctually assume the presence of something that we only realize in hindsight doesn't exist here. All these kinds of exomemories are just as important as the times we remember something big and vivid.

And of course, memories can be hazy or unclear; you don't need to scramble for details to prove to yourself your exomemories are real. This-life memories aren't perfectly clear and immutable forever and always; why would exomemories somehow be exempt from the regular ol' flaws of memory recall? You don't need every last detail to have "real" exomemories. If it matters to you, and feels real to you, then that's all that matters in the end.

Big, vivid, and clear exomemories are fun to talk about a lot of the time, but they're not the only kind of exomemory out there. Don't hurt yourself trying to force yourself to only have those kinds of exomemories, or suppressing everything that doesn't fall into that box. Exomemories are, at the end of the day, just memories like any other – and as this community should know well, memory can be complicated as hell.

[tales-from-syscord]

We once had to leave a syscord server because they didn't stop calling our alters exomemories as psudeomemories (they very clearly asked them not to use that term due to discomfort,)

Not a big deal, but chat, please respect their small requests, idc if YOU use that term, but our system don't like it bc those memories are real to *US*

Aw man, it's not even a big thing.. why are they so resistant to changing their terminology

[art-of-the-sea]

Saw someone draw Evbo with ender pearls and it kicked a memory into gear, so here's the boy based on what we can remember

[moonpool-system]

Alterhuman Coining: Phoenitrauma & Phoenitraumagenic

[PT: Alterhuman Coining: Phoenitrauma & Phoenitraumagenic]

🌀 Phoenitrauma 🌀

alternatively: fenitrauma, phenitrauma

Phoenitrauma refers to any trauma someone has experienced/is affected by that originates from a past life, reincarnation, etc. The term is meant to validate the traumatic experience and the post-traumatic effects one might experience from their past lives, but still distinguish itself from trauma experienced within both this world and life. The word is derivative of "phoenixal" and meant to describe a certain type of exotrauma specific to people whose exomemories are from past lives/reincarnation/etc. The symbol is a combination of the phoenixal symbol and the aqua PTSD ribbon, over the phoenixal flag.

This term is meant for all people/beings/etc that experience any sort of reincarnation or past lives, including otherkin/therians, introjected system members, and more. This term does not discriminate between spiritual-based and string-theory-based reincarnation/dimensional concepts.

🌀 Phoenitraumagenic 🌀

alternatively: fenitraumagenic, phenitraumagenic

A system or system member that is phoenitraumagenic originates from phoenitrauma, a specific type of exotrauma stemming from past lives and other reincarnations. This means that the system/member(s) themselves stemmed from pre-existing phoenitrauma, rather than it simply coming with their exomemories.

Example 1: Member A has a traumatic past life, and Member B forms to cope with a specific aspect of that trauma. Member B is phoenitraumagenic.

Example 2: The system has no existing past life connection to Character C, but when Fictive C showed up, they found themself to be deeply affected by the exotrauma they experienced. Fictive C has phoenitrauma, but is not phoenitraumagenic.

Example 3: Member E has phoenitrauma from a bad experience in a previous reincarnation. Eventually, Member E splits a subsystem specifically centered around the phoenitrauma experienced. Member E's subsystem is phoenitraumagenic.

Example 4: Member G unlocks memories of a past life, and due to the trauma related to that past life, their identity is drastically altered to present completely as that past life. Member G is phoenitraumagenic.

Some alternative flags & symbols!

🌀 For use by all alterhumans; these terms are not gatekept, but phoenitraumagenic is a term intended for systems/plurals/etc. Hate will be removed. 🌀
