We love our system. We love our headmates. We aren't upset about getting new guys! What we ARE upset about, however, is our brain deciding the method of running pk;m new 6 times in 2 days is much more efficient than remembering to even make an attempt at anything else.

targeted at the alterhuman community, but applies to everyone

you need to relearn what "harm" means.

harm is (broadly) defined as "actual or potential ill effects or danger."

someone having an experience that falls outside the bounds of shallow, insignificant research or strict socially constructed boxes and putting that into appropriate words does not fall under the definition of harm. someone being open, honest, and constructive about their hallucinations/delusions does not fall under harm (it can be healthy, even). being fluid, complicated, weird, or uneven doesn't fall under the definition of harm(ful).

the only thing that could make an internal experience remotely harmful to outsiders is the way you externally go about it

you are not inherently harmful and you are cared for. discourse DNI

✮ semparunaic + transsemparunaic! ✮

-> Semparunaic describes an in-system group in plurality — such as a subsystem or sidesystem — believing they should be, or desiring to be, a physically separate plural being from the rest of their system.

⋆ This is different than individual alters wanting their own bodies in that the group would remain plural in that hypothetical separate body, rather than becoming one or more singlets.

⋆ The term itself is derived from the Latin 'separatus' (distinct, particular) and 'una' (simultaneously, at one time)— in other words, 'separate together'.

-> Transsemparunaic describes an in-system group that wants to or feels as though they should believe they should be/desire to be a physically separate plural being from the rest of their system, despite not actually believing/desiring it, for any number of reasons.

⋆ More succinctly: an in-system group that identifies with being, believes they should be, or desires to be semparunaic while not technically falling into that category

sorryyy this was sporadic and therefore might not make a lot of sense ;-;

The Problems With Decay.

Sometimes, shit from fictionbased identities (or other alterhuman identities involving memories/noemata!) sticks. Memories, noemata, trauma responses, other things ingrained into your being--it's hard to break old habits. Especially if they're rooted in avoiding disastrous outcomes. It might be easier for some to move on, harder for others. There's plenty of people who aren't affected much by things that happened in their memories--other times it really sticks hard, and finding ways to navigate those things can be tricky. Sometimes, because of that, in your current body/brain/life or whatever framework you use, you have to find ways to make accomodations for yourself.

I'm a fableing (a sort of grey-area between fictive and fictionkin in a median system) of Tomura Shigaraki, from My Hero Academia. For people who don't know, in source, Shigaraki has a power that enables him to basically turn anything he touches with all 5 fingers of his hands to dust. Which, yeah, great for getting rid of problems (and people)! Not too great when it's not a thing you can simply turn off. Any thing I would touch, at all, would dissolve out of my control. If I touched it--even accidentally--with all 5 fingers of one hand? Gone. Can't do shit about that once it happens, there's no way to stop it. Many an accident happened.

Ignoring any specific events that happened in source canon... Even back then, there were absolutely things I didn't want to destroy. I had to be careful how I held things, careful how I interacted with people (if I didn't intend to kill them), careful of every movement I made. Hold a burger wrong? Well, lunch is gone now. Accidentally stumble a little and my hand reflexively touches someone to steady myself? They're gone too.

Now that I'm here in this body, I obviously don't need to worry about destroying things accidentally. I don't have my power in the front, my hands are completely safe to touch no matter how you do it. I can't decay things anymore. But that hasn't stopped me from acting like I still have it, and behaving accordingly regardless of that my hands can actually do now.

I'll hold my phone with a finger carefully lifted off the back of it. I'll pet our cat usually with only two or so fingers to be safe. I get worried about letting our birds onto my hands--what if they're perched just right that their feathers touch my other fingers? I'll hold food and drinks with a finger lifted off of them (which kind of looks ridiculous with holding cups because it's so obvious to other people). I'm still so meticulously careful about how I touch things, and yeah, I get really fucking anxious about it when I'm handling things I care a lot for. I know I can grab a glass without it fading away, I know I can pick up our cat without worrying that I'll end him, I know I can hold our birds, I know I can hold someone elses hand. It's something I logically know isn't an issue, it's not how it was in my memories, but living that life left a mark on my brain and it's hard to shake.

But, kind of recently, I learned something. Digital artist gloves. We've wanted some for a while, to make it easier to draw. We'd originally planned to wear them pretty often if we did get them, because we need to wear gloves a lot of the time anyway due to having circulation issues that lend our hands to getting real cold real easy. We normally wear fingerless gloves, as we need our fingertips to use our phone and type. But we thought more on it, and were thinking about how maybe artist gloves wouldn't be enough to keep our hands warm--typically they only cover two fingers, and are joined by a thin strap, overall covering less skin than regular fingerless gloves. But from that line of thinking I realised, they completely cover two fingers, and don't really touch any of the others.

Operating off of the logic my decay used, the gloves wouldn't be turned to dust because they don't cover my whole hand, and neither would anything I touch, because two fingers have a barrier over them, effectively disabling my quirk for as long as I wear them. It was the sort of middleground compromise I needed, between ignoring my anxiety and playing too hard into it by being terrified to touch things. Even if theoretically I could accidentally touch the glove with my whole hand and make it go away, in this body I can't do that, and unless I remove it, I will just keep being able to feel the glove on my hand as reassurance. A safeguard--not from anything literal anymore, but something to give me peace of mind.

I wear them all the time now, both in-system and in the front. They're just a permanent part of my outfit at this point (as you can see below in the art we made of myself), and they've helped me stop thinking about it so constantly. I don't need to worry about decaying things around me because I have protection measures against that.

While me wearing them was spawned out of exotrauma-induced anxiety, they're also really identity affirming the more I think about it. Yes, I'd like to not have to worry about decaying everything I touch--but that's just a trait of me. That's as much of a part of me as my other memories or my other experiences. They make me feel more like source-me, because I know if I thought about this solution before as an easier way to eat, drink and sleep? I absolutely would've done it. I don't see it just as wearing the gloves because I'm anxious or traumatised. I'm taking a positive out of it--I'm wearing them because I'm Tomura Shigaraki. Of course I'd need to have something like that.

So, I guess, the point--aside from me simply just sharing this--is that sometimes, you need to figure out some sort of compromise for yourself. Some way to navigate your own noemata, exomemories or exotrauma that you might have to get a little bit creative for. Is it always going to be foolproof? No. It is maybe a bit silly sometimes? Possibly! But this is something that both saves a lot of anxiety for me, and is in a roundabout sort of way, identity affirming at the same time. You can find positives in the weirdest things.

Factfolk/Fact-Id Flag

PT: Factfolk/Fact-Id Flag /End PT

ID: A 9 striped flag, with every other stripe going from thick to thin. The thin stripes are about half the size of the thick stripes. From top to bottom the colors are medium warm purple, dark purple, light desaturated purple, blue gray, white, blue gray, cerulean blue, dark blue, medium blue. In the middle of the white stripe is two combined white diamonds that poke out from the stripe going into the light desaturated purple and cerulean blue stripes. In the center of the diamonds is the symbol for factfolk, an outline of a simple camera with an outline of the earth as its lens. The symbol is blue gray.

A flag for anyone under the factual identity umbrella. A factual identity in simple terms is best defined as one that has roots and connections to something or someone that currently is existing or has existed in this world (though exceptions may exist in cases such as Exofactive, again this is a simplified definition). In many cases this is a human, but it doesn't have to be. This includes, but is not limited to:

Fact- folk

Fait- / Fuck- folk

Fog- folk

-tives

-kins

-therians

-hearteds

-linkers

-chainers

-vaugers

-karditypes

-stels

Endels, IRLs, DAs, and other folks whose identity is based in, caused by, or influenced by delusions or psychosis in general

Exofactives

Pre Factives

Post Factives

Those with factual hearthomes

Those who just "are" their identity and do not label it further

People who cannot, or do not want to, label their factual identity

[To be clear, prefixes are meant to be mixed and matched]

Again, this is meant to be an inclusive but not exhaustive list. Meaning it is a list to give an idea of who is included by default, but it is by no means limited to only these folks. It is simply a baseline idea for better understanding.

Symbol:

ID: Two symbols, both the same except the first is in black, the second is in white. The outline of a simple small rectangle hand held camera. Where the lens would normally be is an outline of the earth focused over the atlantic ocean.

We wanna talk about the symbol for a minute. The flag itself doesn't have too much meaning besides the color scheme is just one we noticed being used a lot for factual identity flags, so we decided to stick to it, and thought it looked pretty. The symbol on the other hand does have meaning and importance behind it.

The first is the camera. There was a discussion some time ago about a potential fact-id symbol in a server we are in, and an option someone threw out was a camera, to parallel fict-id's common use of a book. It's stuck with us ever since. Something about the symbolism of being able to (in theory) take a picture with two of the same guys. However at some point it also struck us another side of it. A common misconception used against factfolk is they're stealing someones identity, and claiming to be the 'real' [x]. While obviously we cannot say this never happens, that is not the experience for the majority of the community. Instead a better understand is the person you are in a photograph from 10+ years ago, while you, isn't who you are now. Factfolk are in many cases, again no experience is a monolith and we do not claim to speak for the community as a whole, a version of their source. Snippets of them reproduced, but not 1:1 copies. Like how even two photos taken close together won't be exactly the same.

The second part is the earth. This part is a lot more self explanatory. It in itself represents how in majority of cases ones source is from this world. It being where the lens of the camera would be is representative of the focus of that part of the identity. How sharing a world with ones source can impact things.

It can also be easily represented with the emoji combo of 📷🌎 [earth non specific, any can be chosen. A fun choice reason could be where an identity stem from!] which we think is neat.
