Little reminder that you don't owe anyone any explanations about your system, how it functions, how big it is, why you have certain introject, why certain headmates have specific roles, explanations of said roles, sources of introjects, exomemories and in general anything!

You also don't owe anybody an apology for said things and to why you might not know any of it or know a whole lot.

We exist because we do and it should be in our hands what and when to say something not because we owe it or it's expected of us!

'Near.' 'Mello.' 'Which of us is going to get Kira first...?' 'The race is on...' 'Our destination is the same. I'll be waiting for you when you get there...' That's what Near is hoping for with all his strength, more fiercely than he's ever hoped for anything.

Here Near introjects Mello after Mello's death as a coping mechanism for the grief, is it a psychological phenomenon or is it possession by a ghost? You decide! It's left ambiguous on purpose.), Dissociation, Lucid Dreaming, Angsty Beginning with a Much Softer Ending, Post-Canon, (ignoring the one-shots though not necessarily contradicting them)

Me, forming into the system: I sure do hope the body doesn’t have crippling back issues

Me, fronting in the body: it’s like being stuck in that damn sarcophagus again…

In light of recent events with iskall85 (+stressmonster?) i’d like to take a moment to thank around 98% of the community. I know its rough, and some people are upset or curious, but the community is handling it wonderfully right now, and I’m extremely proud of everyone who is taking a step back and not harassing creators. Heres a list of things we, as a community, can do to help!

1. Please don’t harass any of the Ccs! By that, I mean Hermitcraft AND vault hunters. I know that you’ve heard it a billion times by now, but I do want to emphasise that they have said they cant say much now, and they’re probably taking it more rough than we are. We aren’t owed any information, even if we would like it, so harassing people will only make the situation worse.

2. Comfort your friends with iskall or stress introjects, irls, fictionkins, alters, etc. reminder that none of this is their fault, and they should NOT be harassed for living their lives as they are.

3. Keep speculation private, or to a minimum. Its human nature of course, to be curious, but discussing it in publicly is a BAD idea. Keep it to the dms, or if you’re going to speculate in your blogs, I recommend not maintaining iskall, and putting the discourse tag in so that people can filter it out.

4. Keep your fanarts and fanfictions up until the situation is clearer, or if you don’t want them up, send them to @pearleisuma to be archived. Just because someone did something does NOT mean that you need to delete anything you worked hard on, it just means be wary making things in the future, involving them, about it, until we get more information.

4. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, Watch ANY commentary youtube channel videos about the situation. This is how false information spreads, and youtubers are going to look to make a quick buck off of anything they can use to blow up. Please only get your information from trusted sources, such as CC’s twitter pages, any videos released by Ccs/streams, or if iskall or stress make a statement themselves.

5. Dont jump to conclusions! Luckily, mumbo has tweeted out that the situation has nothing to do with minors. Jumping to conclusions will lead to misinformation, so do sit back and wait a bit before any assumptions or conclusions.

6. Take care of yourself. Its okay to be sad about them leaving, its okay to be sad that Iskall apparently did something, and its okay to be curious as to what it is about. As a fandom, try to lift eachother up and comfort eachother, rather than bring eachother down about the situation.

Keep being awesome hermitblr, and stay strong 🫶 we’ll get through this

I love you systems & other plurals who collectively consent in-sys to create a headmate to help with a purpose. I love you systems & plurals who collectively just want to create a guy because you want to!

I love you systems & plurals who did try to create a headmate, only to find out "oh shit, this headmate ALREADY existed and this was unintentionally how we found out they're around!"

I love you systems & plurals who created a headmate to combat loneliness, or some other reason personal to you.

I love you systems & plurals who created a headmate to help an introject who misses someone from source.

I love you systems & plurals who used created system methods to help a fragment form, or another similar reason.

I love you, created systems.

Fuck the mentality of owing random people on the internet your origins. If you hate us for XYZ origin that is made in good faith, then we'll just embrace ambiguity labels! Love outlives hate.

something i don't see mentioned enough abt introjects, specifically factives, is the guilt that comes with it. like obv you cant control who you split, but there's something about splitting a public figure that makes you feel guilty. idk if it's just a me thing, probably not, but we have a lot of kpop fictives and i can't help but feel guilty because of that one fact. i respect the idols so much and having factives of them makes me feel like that respect i have for them isn't real or it's parasocial of me to have factives of them.. even tho i don't even talk to the factives of them nor do i think the idols owe me anything. i see them for what they are, idols who are also human, they just happen to also do entertainment and music.

LIKE I FEEL GUILTY. FOR HAVING PARTS OF THEM. I DONT EVEN RLLY LIKE THEIR EXISTENCE IN MY SYSTEM...

i cannot stress enough how much that guilt weighs on me even though i know it's not actually parasocial and i can't control it and my brain is literally just trying to cope. i'm going insane.

[system-hottakes]

Hot take:

An alter shouldn't have to change their name just because it triggers someone's past traumas. If there's an alter with the name Kelly you shouldn't force them to change their name because you had previous trauma with a person named Kelly.

Also just because an introject's creator is controversial or something doesn't mean to give them hell or demand they source separate, not everyone can and they shouldn't have to.

yeah, just this. Don't force people to change their names or source separate. Systems do not owe you anything. Just because you don't like their name or because you don't like their source doesn't mean they have to change it

Yes, being triggered by a name is a thing that can happen, but it's up to you to manage that and back away, you can't expect every single person with that name to change it for you.

[syscultureis]

being a factive comes with unwanted questions, especially if your source was considered problematic or in drama. being a factive is being scared to tell people about your partner because you don’t want to be accused of shipping real people. being a factive is being scared to tell ppl that you’re one of the subsystem hosts because then you’ll be accused of assigning mental illness to real people.

factives are not their source and don’t owe you any answers to things that happen in their source. Introjects are not their source.

sorry abt the more pessimistic ask, it just ticks me off that some of our singlet friends think all our introjects are just like source, especially us factives. - metta (they he)

Ough, source connection discourse is happening huh? Welp, might as well share our thoughts.

Our thoughts are basically just, if your source is a real life criminal or something, like a true crime introject or a dictator, then you definitely should source separate. Having an introject of an IRL bad person isn't inherently bad, but you should push to source separate as much as possible as soon as possible. If it takes a while, that's fine, but in the meantime def don't go by your source's name or use them as faceclaims or pfps, even privately. If your source is a real person that hurt real people, then you should be very careful when talking about your source, and make an effort to distance yourself from them.

If you're an introject with a source that hasn't hurt real people, eg fictives, then I'd say you don't strictly need to if you don't want to or if that's what's best for your system and the introject in question. If your source is fictional and/or unproblematic, you're not hurting anyone outside your system if you don't source separate. With true crime factives, not source separating can, and does, harm real life victims, both of the crimes of your source and of similar crimes, but if your source isn't an IRL criminal or something like that, whatever. And yes, I do include fictional villians, problematic, and abusive characters in that, since their victims are not effected by it, being fictional characters and all.

Also, on that note, if you are an introject of any kind, no matter your source, you do not owe anyone an apology for your source's actions. Introjects are not their sources, they are not in any way responsible for anything their source has done, and they don't owe anyone anything for something they had nothing to do with. This includes source connected and true crime introjects. You're responsible for your actions as an introject and a system, no one else's.

[dyketoevsky]

ik youve talked abt system yohane/yoshiko b4 but im curious to hear more in depth abt ur thoughts on them!!

Okay anon. I hope you know that I owe you a cookie and a drink.

Their system consists of Yoshiko (the host and trauma holder), Yohane (nonhuman alter and protector, possibly a psychosis symptom holder) Lalapis (nonhuman alter, introject, and caretaker)

Their system is probably bigger, I'm imagining 'introjects' of the rest of aqours (which depending on the universe they could be non introjects)

They have a lot of trauma from bullying and religious parents (leaving this vague for personal interpretation)

Yohane formed when they were young and is inspired by the fallen angels their parents would talk about. Ironically it made their bullies target them more because it can't seperate from it's nonhuman identity and it's trauma.

Lailaps is (ironically) an ANP, she tries to do 'damage control' especially from Yohane.

If they have the other members of aqours I think Hanamaru is a combination of a childhood friend and a story book character. She also holds some of their naivety having been raised in mostly isolation.

Yoshiko wished as a kid to have siblings so her parents would focus on her less and so she'd has sibling(s) to play with. Ruby is a representation of the little sister while Dia is the older sister she imagined playing with.

Chika is a mood booster and generally cheerful part. She doesn't remember their trauma.

Kanan is a representation of a 'true friend' that Yoshiko wanted as a child. She is a social and active part

Mari is a holder for their parental trauma and is also a protector, but she goes about it in the 'wrong way' (standing up to their parents)

You is another book character, he's also partly linked to their happy memories of being on their grandparents boat. He's also a transmasc part and that causes upset sometimes.

Riko is a lesbian and she is a representation of their repressed sexuality.

Yohane and Yoshiko are almost constantly together (subsystem maybe?). Yoshiko finds Yohane scary (this fear eases up as she learns about their system), but Yohane doesn't really know who it is without protecting Yoshiko so relies on her.

Yoshiko and Yohane have a system yuri thing happening between them.

I'm a fictive who really misses it's sourcemates... Have any advice for that by any chance?

Oof, I’ve definitely been there (Ralsei fictive here!) >_<

I really think I’m in a better place these days, and I owe it a lot to this stuff!

Mourning and grief! For a while I treated my lost sourcemates like lost friends who I’d likely never see again. It was really tough, but grief is a thing our system is unfortunately kinda used to by now >_< At the encouragement of my parts, therapist, and partner sys, I just gave myself time to mourn. Time to front and reminisce and cry and just be sad about it for a while. I really missed my friends, and I still do today! >_< We made a lot of memories together and a big part of who I am today I owe to them. I have my own little sketchbook/journal, and I wrote a lot about them, pressed flowers for them, and just let myself process my feelings. If I hadn’t ever been given the space to mourn properly, I’d still probably have a lot of pain in me that I wouldn’t know how to deal with or let go of! >_<

Also a liiiiittle bit of source separation! I’m still Ralsei, I still identify and connect with my source! I haven’t changed my name or appearance or anything like that. But I did have to detach myself from my source a bit in order to start feeling better about losing my sourcemates. For me, this meant just realizing that I am my own person, outside of my source! I am real and I exist, whereas my source and my sourcemates are just characters who are a part of someone else’s created world. I get to have agency and grow, develop, and make my own decisions. My source doesn’t get that - he’s just a character in a video game! For me, this helped a lot, because while my source memories still affect me and inform my life, the fact that I’m not literally my source makes it easier for me to give those memories less weight and instead focus on making connections in the real world, today! :33

My part (and buddy!) Cecil made a post on source separation, which we’ll include in case it might help ya!

And in the end, what helped best for me is time, space, and support from my system and loved ones! And I hope that you can find this to help you better deal with missing your sourcemates, too! We may never stop missing our sourcemates, and the memories might always remain, but the pain will get lighter in time! >w<

[thevampirecasketsystem]

I just want to say, I hate the channel ABLAZE.

it seems most of this guy’s channel is going after people with disorders and a lot of those people are systems and his content is calling them fake to make a quick buck. Most is not all of the time he does not seem to have any proof and his only reasoning is this person has dyed hair they must be faking or they have fictives must be faking.

he keeps getting pushed onto our YouTube recommendations because some of us like to watch videos about drama like with people such as the vegan teacher or Tash Peterson who he has made several videos on both of those people. We don’t hate vegans we just find these two people interesting. So YouTube obviously thinks we like this guy when we don’t since noticing a lot of of his videos are ableism and we do not like him.

just because you deem someone with a disorder as “cringe” does not mean that they are faking a disorder as a system who has a lot of trauma. We are not going to talk about our trauma online because that would be unsafe for us and it’s frankly nobody’s business. And I know that’s what this guy wants. I think he feels like systems have to talk about their trauma to be valid and they cannot be alternative presenting or whatever which fuck off. We have dyed hair specifically blue I know stereotypical lol and if we posted about being plural online other than Tumblr I’m pretty sure we would get fake claimed just because how we look and being introject heavy. (also we do have a Instagram where we post about being plural but it doesn’t have any face pictures it doubles as our age regression account it’s for system kids and age regressor in sys to post on.)

like I just genuinely hate this dude so much just because you deem someone as cringe and they post about having a disorder does not mean they are faking a disorder you see someone who happens to have something and expressing themselves how they feel happy you see them as cringe and fake. You see someone with a hard of being happy online that means they must be faking in your eye. No, that’s not how that works. People who are disabled can be “cringe” people who are disabled can be alternative people who are disabled do not owe you anything, we do not owe you any detail details about our trauma. We do not owe you any details about our disorder at all. You cannot tell if someone is faking something online. I have said that once and I will say that a million times, especially when it’s on TikTok and all you see is like a clip that’s probably around 30 seconds or less. Some TikTok’s are more than that but obviously people are only gonna post what they feel comfortable with posting about their disorder and their life.

and another thing do people seem to forget that you can edit things out of your video or leave it in the drafts or just discard it if something happens? Genuinely, I feel like this guy has no critical thinking at all I hate him. And he seems to think he knows everything about DID he doesn’t.

E: I'm not listening to you. You're an old man.

G: Sure, but sometimes you do owe it to yourself to take an old man's advice.

E: Shut up, Santa Claus.

G, an introject of our old father figure who yeah, does look a lot like he's on his way to play Santa Claus in a movie: Why–

G: Why does that almost hurt coming from you?
