#this is . . . fictive alter . . . not source character . . .

[thattheater-kid]

A friendly reminder for literally everyone, including systems and including the rest of this system

In general, systems do not control what introjects show up.

I have been actively attacked by singlets, systems, and other parts within my own system for being a South Park fictive. The most hurtful things I’ve heard are from other parts within the system. I’ve been called a mistake, I’ve been told I wasn’t supposed to exist by members of my own system. The system has been judged by others for my existence. They don’t even watch South Park that much, they just watch it when our brother puts it on. Even if they did, that’s not a reason to attack me or them for my existence.

No one could control who I am. Certainly I couldn’t. I didn’t want this. Do you know how hurtful it is to be called a mistake and told you don’t deserve to live to your face? Actually, I’m sure many of you do. Many of you have been hurt like that, so maybe don’t do the same thing to introjects from problematic sources. Nobody wanted this. Nobody chose this. It’s not fair to judge and hate for it.

Some of you need to remember you are NOT your fucking source, dear god, just. Stop. It's fucking annoying.

You can be attached to it, sure, but you have to remember that you can't be straight up crazy about it and insist to people you are the character. You don't decide what's canon just because of your source. You can't decide what the character genuinely likes or Dislikes or whatever.

You can headcanon it, absolutely

You can't go around telling people you are the character so you decide what's canon

Reminders:

Don't insist on talking about traumatic things that happened to headmates if they don't like talking about it (especially if a fictive had a traumatic memory from their source)

Don't treat them as horrible people if their source made them a horrible person

Don't push your own ocs or favorite characters to join people's systems especially when we don't know how they could act. They could be nice or a piece of shit- we don't know

Don't push your own hyperfixations/interests onto headmates and act like they know about it (when they don't) (ex: you saying a robot headmates has to know about Murder Drones cause they're both robots and that's a connection apparently-)

Headmates/alters, especially fictives, are not just characters. They are people too, and they can be really fucking hurt or annoyed by your actions.

today i was informed Jay [alter] formed a few days ago n was asked by Alex [alter] to draw him, Tim n Jay together so i did. its nice they all have each other even if they do seem to have some issues on occasions. They also call themselves the ‘Tape Trio’

i like drawin headmates, idk it helps me feel a bit closer to them n it’s just nice at times.

Controversial Opinions (Source Separation Edition):

Fictives do not need to change their name and appearance to be source separated. Alters/parts introject for a reason, and if they like what their source's name or appearance is, fucking let them.

Source Separation does not mean absolutely denying the existence of their source. It means being aware that they're not actually the character/person they're based on.

Source Separation should not be forced, and doing so does more harm than anything else. Every system has their own pace, stop forcing "healing" onto them.

Istg I'm getting so heated by most of syscourse's takes. Almost all of them are so incredibly stupid.

[gogh-collective]

me: I'm very surprised that we didn't split any fictives from this one favorite source we had during this highly traumatic time

the suspiciously favorite character shaped alter:

me: what

[syscultureis]

System culture is having some fictives of characters from bad sources and people? Get mad at you?

I swear endos ruined how people see systems because now they think you can CHOOSE what alters you have. That's not! How that! Works!

Here's too all the alters from specific sources that people don't like, I'm so, so sorry.

Identifying your Source

A fictive is a term to describe a part or an alter who identifies/relates to a character from any fictional works such as books, movies, tv shows, games, or even OCs, mythological beings and to historical figures--there is lots'a more sources that i didn't mention too.

Fictives are often formed from needs such as seeking the same strength, positivity, ideals, or traits the system felt lacking. Another reason why fictives can form is for personal comfort, or found a sense of connection, or to understand deeper about who they are by mirroring a source.

Lastly, fictives can have varying degrees of awareness. They can be fully knowledgeable of their own source, or feeling confused with their origins.

What Characteristics You've Obtained

If you don't know how ya got here or vaguely grasp what appearance you have inherited, this is where we will go through the process to start mapping in a more detailed, step-by-step to fully understand who you are!

First off, how would you describe your personality in one word? Once you got that down, go deeper on what feels natural about that. This helps you pinpoint what kind of vibe you've got.

Second, how would you interact with the world? Are you passive, social, strict, shy--and how well do you handle stress? What do you like doing the most? It helps you figure out your own strength and weaknesses.

What talking style do you have? Expressive? Chatty? Sparse? Nonverbal? Those are just examples, oh, and, what kinds of words do you use: casual or have your own niche? That'll answer what speaking style expresses you perfectly.

Any morals or values do you hold? Like, Do No Harm, or something. What do you consider right or wrong in your reasoning? It'll uncover what principles you have, and help you grow better.

Can you write down any rough and soft skills you have retained? Write just well? Adjusted with moving your physical body? To troubleshoot any skills you still need to refine, you know.

These 5 main questions will help you give an overall preview of who you are in the long run, it's also best to document any other consistencies that you've found outside of what i've wrote to understand yourself better. (2a)

Despite being a fictive, you can retain any other traits outside of your source since your origin acts to complete your identity and fill in the rest of the gaps. It's best to understand that you're allowed to act outside of your origin, or if you have a different response/thinking compared to the canon. (2b)

This is because a system is based on multiple expressions of identities that shares one body and mind, each and every member compliments to the whole dynamic with their own strengths and perspective.

To shortly brief you, a system consists of three main things:

Internal communication: the interaction between each other through internal dialogue, thoughts, or emotions

Switching and completing others: parts may take on different roles or tasks to get through the daily life

Individual agency: alters maintain their own agency and sense of self despite being in a collective with one mind and body

This will help you navigate the situation easier. If you felt like a stranger amidst the crowd of your system--don't worry, warming up to them would be a great start to ease the awkwardness away! (2c)

Addressing Source / Pseudo-memories

Most of the time, fictives will retain source memories alongside the introjected qualities, but it's also possible for them to have no source memories or only faint glimpses of them.

These memories are different from regular memories, because they’re often fabricated to fill in gaps caused by amnesia or dissociation that blocks the fictive from recalling real experiences. So, while they might not be completely accurate, that doesn’t make pseudo-memories a fake memory since they can still be used to reflect or reprocess things you’ve actually gone through in real life.

It’s also important not to mix them up with real memories. They're fragmented reflections of your experiences, not real things that had happened at the past. So i'd suggest you to be more observant to discern them better if you couldn't differentiate source memories from regular memories.

Acclimating You to the Real World

If you came from a source that’s very different from this world, it might feel pretty shocking at first--reading this will help you adapt better and faster, so i'll try to brief you as simply as i can:

Chronological time First, refresh your memory by checking what time, day, month, and year it is right now.

Home, and it's members Next, take a look at any existing notes or ask other alters about where you live, who you live with (and yes, pets count, they’re family too), and what role or career you currently have in life (like school, work, etc).

Play Spot the Differences If you notice something you don’t recognize at first, chances are it’s something you never learned about from your source memories. That's how you can start telling apart what belongs to this world and get familiar with it! (4a) If you’re not sure how to use something yet, i have wrote a section on how to use the most basic (and most important) items just right below it:

Phones: They are small technological devices that give you access to a lot of functions, like long-range communication (calling and texting), finding information (browsing the internet), and other extra features like ordering food or watching entertainment. These little slim boxes need a battery to run. You can see which charging cable it uses by looking at the hole (or port) on the side or bottom of the phone. Most phones are protected by a code or password before you can access everything, so make sure to memorize it carefully!

Money: people use these to trade for things they need or want like food, clothes, or etc. It’s a currency based on value; you give a certain amount of money, then in return you get the thing you want. There are two types of money--physical and digital. The physical currency are rectangular shaped paper that has numbers and designs on it, they're called bills,, and the smaller, metallic circles are called coins. You'll have to hand them to a register, and any excess you're given back is called a Change. The digital currency exists in your phone, often through an app or a bank, or a card with long serial numbers--that's either a debit/credit card. They have a different method compared to physical money, you'd have to swipe or tap them with a sensor your phone has been equipped with.

Home appliances: These are machines that were installed inside your house, they help you perform tasks such as cooking, preserving ingredients, and cleaning spaces. I'll teach you three kinds of machines you'd often interact with, Microwave: Heats up food fast. Usually, you just put your food inside, close the door, and type/dial how many minutes you want, and press “Start” (Be careful.. the food can get very hot) Refrigerator: Keeps food cold so it doesn’t spoil. You can put milk, meat, vegetables, or anything else that needs to stay fresh inside it. They prevent any potential microbes from growing that would make you sick. Broom: A simple stick with soft bristles at the end. You need to hold it upright and sweep it across the floor to collect dust and dirt into a pile, then scoop it up with a dustpan if you have one. Do put those debris away into a trashcan. If you see a long-tubed machine used for cleaning--that's a vacuum cleaner, and i don't recommend them if you're still struggling to adjust to the real world, so lets keep it simple like this. (4b)

The rest that are not written here should be guided from assistance, learning hands-on with another headmate is the best way to familiarize yourself in this world.

Searching your Origin type

Some fictives can be naturally aware on why they existed, so if you're not sure about where you came from, or why you're alive, finding your type of origin will help you understand the situation more.

For simplicity, i separated it to two main categories:

Symbolism: Symbolism is when your mind uses images, characters, places, or ideas to represent something you went through. It can be literal or abstract. E.g, if you feel like you came from a castle, that might actually symbolize feeling trapped, lonely, or important. Not about truly living in one of them.

Coping: Coping is when your mind creates things to help you survive or deal with hard stuff. Sometimes your identity, story, or memories are created as a way to handle emotions that would have been too overwhelming to directly face them. (5a)

Sometimes, fictives can be a mix of both, or switch between both types (E.g. originally formed for coping, then became a part of self expression, aka, positive symbolism). Remember that these are just descriptions to understand yourself, they are not literal boxes or categories.

Two Ways of Integration

There are no right or wrong ways to integrate, and any source you came from is valid and real. This section will brief you with two different paths of growing with your sense of identity: Source Integration and Source Separation.

One day, the identity you have right now will be limiting your sense of self and expression,, this is when integration can be done--most importantly this should NEVER be forced or done out of pressure, rather it has to come from the need to grow and expand from your current self.

--

I'm happy with my Source, how to Coexist?

If you have no issues with your source and facilitates your self expression and wish to keep certain positive traits, appearance, or personality, thats great! Here's three main steps on how you can make your new self based on your original source:

Identify which traits, key appearances, and any other things you truly resonate with

Replace the traits you prefer/resonate less, (E.g. blue hair color) with something you like more personally (make your hair red because you love the color's meaning)

Change your name, if you want to,, and embrace any favorites (like food, music) you have outside of the source--or explore them if you haven't done so

After that, the rest is up to you. BE FREE, RAHH!!! (6a)

--

I wish to Deviate from my Source, how?

If your source had been causing yourself some harm or more confusion, hatred, or enabling bad habits, or just general distaste,, anchoring to something else outside of your current source will ease most of those problems. Here's three main steps on how to separate and grow a newer self that truly aligns with your identity:

Acknowledge that you can be everything else outside of the appearance, personality, or habits you have adopted from your source. This helps weaken the grip on how you should act or be based on the past

Explore what you like and dislike without pressure or expectations, see how you truly feel and act accordingly--not based on your source anymore

Be consistent without needing to pivot your sense of self externally, following your internal compass and intuition instead. This builds a solid sense of self with time and patience

Things will take time to unlearn and replace your habits, it is also a good time to explore who you truly are when your source do not fully depict you well anymore. No need to rush. (6b)

General Life Tips

Seek out and explore, find what you like, what you don't like, what you find comfort in and who you can confide with. This will broaden your experience, deepen your emotional richness in your life, and ensure you can thrive in the long term!

Not all challenges can be overcome alone--actively search for information, ask other people, and go through trial and error. Sometimes being a fictive will give a mismatch from what you've learnt to a world that operates really different, brute force is not the only solution!

Be flexible and open to your identity. No one is forever static or unchanging, new experiences and new things will rewire you and it can't be unseen once done. You'll grow at your own pace so always remind yourself that you're you no matter what, and don't let past labels or boxes dictate how to act or live!

Life may felt jarring at first, but you'll get used to it, this takes time + patience and you'll confidently and comfortably get through the days like a seasoned commoner in earth, remember to have fun and crack jokes too!

And Finally..

Welcome to the World!

You're briefed with everything important that ya should know, you'll feel at home in no time,, the first day's the most memorable don't you think?

If you still got any questions, concerns, or confusion regarding the guide, or how to function and perform daily life tasks,, feel free to write them down here and i'll assist you as fast as i could!

Lastly, you're fully prepared. Now... run like the wind and hope you don't accidentally smash into a glass--or don't run, just chill out for the remainder of the day. They got soft blankets and chocolate drinks,, go enjoy life in your own taste man.

Man as a member of a system with mostly fictives I am here to say, for all fictives, despite not being one myself:

You are not "faking" because you are a fictive host, alter, ECT

You are valid and supported

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to be known for your source

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be known cor your source

Just because your someone's "favorite character" doesn't mean you have to like them
