#introject alter

[weasel-333]

I see people saying having a lot of introjects is an endo thing. It is NOT.

Being an introject heavy system is normal and it has nothing to do with "endogenic systems".

It's not because some endos think being a system is all about having your favorite characters as alters to hang out with that you have to invalidate actual systems who happen to have many introjects.

They don't control it. If they have those introjects, it means they need it.

It's not because you don't share the same experience that theirs is invalid.

This is not a criteria to fakeclaim systems.

It's just another proof of how harmful endos can be.

to introjects : there will always be people out there who love, support, and accept you, no matter what your source is. whether it's "problematic", "cringe", "basic", or anything else. no matter how much or little you identify with your source. there will ALWAYS be people who choose not to judge you for things you can't control. you will always be welcome as yourself somewhere. if that place isn't where you currently are, then keep looking, because it's out there. i hope you're doing well

"AWWWHHH a My Melody introject how cute"

actually hx deals with our hallucinations and breaks down sobbing regularly because shx cannot tell when they arent real.

pink does not feel cute, pink spends most of hxs time in front crying. fuck off before making assumptions just because someones "source" seems cute

"Real introjects don't look for sourcemates" wrong. Our irl friend (who is also a system) has a fictive from south park, and since he misses his friends he started calling 2 of that system's best friends the names of his sourcemates and acting as if they were them.

Doing sourcecalls is "a sign of faking"? If you appeared in a new universe without possibilities of going back home, you'd try to find things connected to it - even if sourcemates technically only share a face with your friends, they're still better than nothing.

So, nope, sorry to tell you. Real introjects, like anyone, miss what they had and if there's something that reminds us to it, we'll take it. And fakeclaiming us because of that is fucking stupid<3

(disclaimer: if u don't wanna find sourcemates, that's fine too! you do you :3)

OKAY SO WE’RE PLAYING ACE ATTORNEY AND OUR EDGEWORTH AND PHOENIX ARE TAKING TURNS, COMPETING OVER WHO PRESSES THE RIGHT THING THE MOST TIMES

BUT THE THING IS THEY BOTH FUCKING SUCK AT THIS AND IT’S THE FUNNIEST THING EVER

[persmo]

is it okay to treat alters like their source if they ask/want to be treated that way?

Why wouldn't be ok? If they ask to and want that go ahead and do it

The phrase "Don't treat alters like their source" it's because a lot of alters don't ID with source, have problems with it and prefer to not be treated as it, or in some cases people minimize the alter just to their source when we have to remember that their more than their source

Source separation is good for some alters, for some others is not and it can be harmful in some cases, like a lot of things is "it depends"

I could talk about all the implications and all that info but I don't want to fill my main blog with this topic, I mostly use our @syspport for that (so if you want a more in depth response and want to make more specific questions related to that topic you can go there and do it), and maybe I'll use the @cddcommunity blog to talk about how the community treats the introjects and sources things

Thanks for the ask! I don't normally get asks here so seeing an ask mayme so happy /pos

Cringe system culture is “yes I introjected one of my ocs. Yes I’m married to her now. No I don’t date her because I loved her source. I date her cause I love her”

Also we used to argue quite a bit, like some enemies to lovers type shit and I find it hilarious.

What a story I must say /pos

You didn't date her because of her source but because who she is and that's lovely, who cares if it seems cringe to date the introject of a source you made? She isn't her source and just happens to be a silly coincidence!!

And lol, enemies to lovers dynamic /pos

I really want more PJO HoO introject mutuals 😭

It would be so cool to talk to same-source alters.

[akrasianwords]

being an introject that's literally nothing like it's source is so odd in a system where most of the introjects at least somewhat resemble source material. my source character is someone very uh. . . aggressive. and loud. and angry, and very very competent. he's very good at what he does, and he's not very nice. but I'm. not that. I have trouble holding conversations because I'm so shy, I can't look people in the eye. I'm selective mute because i get so nervous. the difference is so stark sometimes it feels like I'm just a lookalike. I get source separation and all that, but I would rather be more like him than this. and . . . not being like him makes me feel—false in a way. I don't know. these are just thoughts.

—A. again . .

introject heavy systems i love you

[dailysystemaffirmations]

daily affirmation

you are not your source you are your own person you are loveable and redeemable your source doesn't have to dictate who you are

[afton-robotics-co]

hey, multi-sourced alters! i have a game!

if your appearance changes in headspace, reblog with how you look today!

if you look the same, still reblog with an appearance claim!!! i'd love to see how your brain mixes your sources, or if it doesn't!

i'll start, here's mine :

( art creds ;; damiencandle_OF on twitter )

[ edit ] i realised that i mostly put fictive tags on this, but if you have factive sources, don't feel discouraged from posting those, as well! we won't judge, this is a safe place for all factives. (even ones with problematic sources)

[the-moonjay-forest-system]

Do any other systems look a certain parts of they're system and go "ohh yeah that makes sense!"

I feel like there can be a lot of confusion and mystery surrounding why some parts of your system are the way they are like having certain introjects or species or accents with alters or things in your innerworld that don't make a lot of sense to you. But do you ever have some parts that are really obvious and make a lot of sense? Like "oh of course we have that alter!","ofcourse are innerworld looks like this" or "of course that alter is like this"

Like of course we have a fluttershy fictive. My Little Pony was our special interest since like birth, fluttershy has always been our favourite in friendship is magic and we've always identified with her heavily as an autistic kid with severe anxiety and an obsession with animals which our peers bullied us over. We also lost our rabbit named Angel (like fluttershy's rabbit) in middle school the same time she split and she carries a lot of the grief and guilt surrounding that. It'd honestly be weird if we didn't have Flora around.

And then there's me (Aggie, hello!) A massive white tiger and mother figure to many alters in the system. We were also obsessed with white tigers as a kid, long before we discovered the sad truth behind them that left us heartbroken. We still have all of our many white tiger plushies and things, the first one we got as a baby we named Aggie (hmm sound familiar?) Which was also the name of our first cat, so that's three feline Aggies in our life haha. We are also a huge studio ghibli fan, one of the first ghibli movies we watched was Princess mononoke which is overall our favourite we identified heavily with San, a human girl raised by a huge talking wolf and as someone who hated most humans and loved animals we wished we could be like her raised by animals. So here I am the "system mom" a huge talking tiger. And it just makes sense.

Would any other systems like to share Amy parts of them that just make sense?
