#<- because it's the fictive in question

[dolphinrostrums]

... that moment when the fictive from a fucked up universe contained inside of a black hole might not actually come from as fucked up of a universe as you thought (because your universe might be the same--or, if not the same, then encased in a similar idea)

[bloodcoloredglasses]

When i use kin as a verb i use it in the same way i use introject as a verb and it's just weird and upsetting when ppl insist kin can never be both an action and an identity. I can say I introjected Valentino and nobody says shit but then I say I kin Valentino and suddenly it's a big problem of language misuse and implying that kin is not an identity?? Is my fictive identity somehow not real if it has an element of action to it? It happened in the back of my brain while I wasn't looking, but it was nevertheless an action, and we experience our kin identities in the same way. Why the hell do people accept system experiences so easily but then purity test the exact same experience if framed as kin

[relaxxattack]

every time someone calls moirallegience just an alien qpr i wilt a lil like YEAH thats more or less the CLOSEST human thing but its also Literally Not That. like a qpr is fundanmentally not romantic and thats not even going into moirails whole Actual Purpose of calming ppl down. its just. aughhhhh pisses me off i see the confusion but, as aformentioned, aughhhhh

OH MY GOD THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME TOO.... but i don't want to get petty at the people in my notes always saying "moirails are QPRs!" because in some ways that is the closest human thing so it's hard to be mad...

i think there's definitely some overlap in some ways. but NOT because moirallegiance and qprs are the same at all really, but INSTEAD because both relationships can be outside of popular human norms.

you know... like any relationship.

like the only reason the two really have overlap is because they are both committed emotional partnerships that aren't required to involve sex? that should be true for all romance, even if it's not the norm right now.

they're both just romances* that are unconventional to human norms, which makes people view them as the same thing when they're not.

i think the REAL issue here is that humans insist on using human words to understand things that are just, fundamentally, alien. can't we just appreciate alien romance for being... alien romance?

no, moirallegiance is not platonic, it's romantic. it's just romantic in a way you don't understand, is all. that doesn't invalidate that romance.

*in generalization, most QPRs are not romantic, because they are made up of aroaces who are life partners in a non-romantic way. however i want to disagree with you that none of them are romantic, because that is up to the partners in question.

maybe im just dumb but what is the difference between kris p and kris t?

TL;DR - They are Kris Dreemurr fictives and we needed a way to differentiate them

Oh you're not dumb, don't worry! It really is a little confusing because we haven't talked about who they or we are in a very long time. I'm going to talk a lot here so you have all the context you might need! If it''s too long,, the TL;DR above is the gist of it.

For context, we are a system! You can read about it a little in our FAQ

Kris T and Kris P are TWO Kris introjects/fictives of Kris Dreemurr from Deltarune in our system.

Originally we just had Kris T who split in Dec 2018, and then when Chapter 2 came out, Kris P came into our system after that. Of course at first, Kris T. was just "Kris", but since we had a double now, we had to figure out how to differentiate between the two. We knew another Kris fictive from a different system at this time who was nicknamed P. Kris by Susie in our system, and susie wanted to emphasize who she was talking about.

SO. As a small nod to that, everyone decided to nickname Kris P as Kris P, as an inverse of P. Kris.

A little convoluted, I know!

Besides being Kris introjects/fictives though, they also look different! I made some new drawings to try and showcase their differences if that helps :3?

Their dark world forms also look different. Kris T's is simpler, with a shiny soft cape, while Kris P's is more complicated with a hooded cape, which is also described as "very comfortable"

Here's a whole Toyhouse of images of how Kris T. looks like right now! There's also his reference ! vvv

Sorry if you weren't interested in our "life story"! They're not just random characterizations (they are alters), so I wasn't sure how to answer w/o giving you some sort of explanation.

They have their own sideblogs, so if you have specific questions directed towards them, you can always ask here because we'll see it better, or you can send them an ask in their own blogs. Kris T's is @kristalpepsi, and Kris P's is @itswhattheycallyou

[wiredshark]

The two alters who get attached really easily (/neg) also being the two shittiest people in the system what is this it doesn’t feel like a coincidence

Can you do a shufflemancy for c!quackity? I want to know what my relationship was with slimecicle :)!!

your shufflemancy is below the cut, I hope it assists with your questions, anon!

Songs included: McLaughlin Bros Jug Band, As the World Caves in, What A Catch, Donnie

Song #1

McLaughlin Bros Jug Band from the Over the Garden Wall Soundtrack

A short but sweet jug band tune, perhaps implying a beginning of light-hearted fun and a silly demeanor between you and Slime.

Song #2

As the World Caves In by Matt Maltese

A song about clinging to each other within the end of the world. The lyrics often refer to the stress of being the head of a country. The destruction of the world is brought on by the two people in the song themselves, a demise of their own doing. They paint nails of a man and put suits on a woman, in the face of the end they begin to ignore what society expects of them as leaders. Helpless to the atom bomb falling despite it falling by their command. This song implies a romantic relationship with Slime.

Song #3

What A Catch, Donnie by Fallout Boy

[TW: suicide and mental health issues]

You are a mess, self-esteem low and thoughts dark. What a catch you are, you say. Who would truly want to be with me? The other person also has lost hope for themselves, and the singer is unable to make them happy. The song mentions a suicide of a singer's friend right before he died himself, just after doing a duet together. In fact, the suicides of many musicians are mentioned throughout the song, which the singer relates to himself and his own relationships and self. A medley of his own songs plays behind him, reprising further dark thoughts and troubles, like they can never be gotten rid of.

Your mental state was at an all time low, and Slime's was as well. Your relationship was most likely not well at this time, and in some way you had both given up on yourselves and each other. This could relate to the ending of the Las Nevadas arc, and describe your mental state after losing Slime's love.

weve been thinking about buying a vr headset for the sole purpose of utilizing VR chat. do any other systems use vr chat, and what is your experience?

[z-13-no-more]

We had a five hour car ride today that kicked my ass.... holy shit I'm burnt the fuck out. Hey, at least we're at the hotel now. (AnthroCon)

Also, I have two adopted children now apparently. Help.

[owakcx-cane-guy]

i need to think more. about wenda's system. for my health

[empire-system]

Our mum: hey I’m going out do you want more cookies?

The evil cat dog who has murdered thousands of his own kind and resides in our brain, evilly plotting the destruction of his toxic ex (he’s scared of his own reflection): yes mother…cookies appease me greatly

[systemofmycelium]

I really hope this was /j.

[hogcranker1984]

we might make an entire sideblog dedicated to ultrakill but we are SO unsure if we should or not,,

[adoseofdidreality]

also my blog name wasnt to pretend to be you but to make fun of your username because i think "a dose of did reality" (or even a "a DIDose of reality") is funnier than didadoseofreality

genuinely just replace the word DID with "the shot" or something wild and "a dose of reality" can become a really clever pun for antovaxxers. i think if the op is actually an antivaxxer they can steal that idea and try to come up with a better primary title to be followed by the subtitle "a dose of reality" :P

it would all be really silly shouty lies by an old man/woman/erson who's scared of The Furries Oh my Gosh!!! and it's hillarious

Reminder that telling a headmate to change an aspect of their identity or self to be "less problematic" is dehumanising as fuck. You can't go around doing that shit. It's entirely a you issue if you can't handle a headmate having an identity, they're not responsible for your issues or required to morph themselves into something you can swallow. Fictives, factives, people with number names, nonhumans who are "scary", headmates who are queer while the body isn't, headmates who are queer in a different way to the body, disabled headmates, etc.

You can't tell a singlet to change their entire name because you think it's problematic. You can't tell a singlet to hide their gender or sexuality because it "doesn't match" their body. You can't tell a singlet to change or hide their entire damn identity because you don't like it. You can't tell a singlet to stop having days where they experience disordered symptoms.

If the headmate in question is acting respectful, treat them with some god damn respect. It doesn't MATTER if they "match" the body. They're just as much of a person as any singlet is. You cannot convert someone into being something they're not.
