Exotrauma

Having exotrauma from a "cringe" or "silly" source sucks. It feels like you're taken infinitely less seriously than those who have trauma from grittier, adult-geared and/or "acceptable" sources. Which in and of itself just isolates you and makes it worse.

I'm not just a silly little thing from your silly little Roblox game that could never show signs of trauma because it's 'just a kids game'--and I'm not your blorbo either. It feels like there's 2 common options for how people treat fictionkind with exotrauma:

Oh my poor little scrunkly, my little cardboard box meow meow.... Going to hold you because I love babying you and treating you like you're not even a person because I see you only as my favourite character. (Mind you, this is distinctly SEPARATE from actual friendly support, you can tell the difference.)

You're not a fictional character, get over it lmao. Yeah I know you are them but like you didn't ACTUALLY live through that, stop claiming it, it's disrespectful. Why are you upset at my memes about your death lol. Get a life.

So like... Maybe fictionkind are people. Maybe I don't want to think about the worse parts of my source. Maybe I don't want my trauma shoved in my face as a little funny joke, even if the context is changed. Maybe, just maybe... Leave alterhumans with fictional sources alone. Even if their source is lighthearted, even if it's for kids, even if it's the most "cringe" media you can think of.

Sonic the Hedgehog might've seemed fine in-source but maybe he's fucked up from all that he's been through. That warrior cat alterhuman isn't just being edgy, maybe they're suffering from the memories of fighting to survive day in and day out. Bluey is allowed to be not okay, and their source shouldn't dictate their experiences. Do you ever think that some Pokemon or trainers don't have amazing, adventurous lives travelling around with their best friends? Mario might have nightmares and flashbacks from his source. Mickey Mouse is allowed to be hurt, and allowed to express that. That MLP alterhuman isn't always going to be just a happy colourful magic pony with no issues whatsoever.

We are PEOPLE, and our sources being "happy", "for kids", "light-hearted", "fun" or anything of the sort should NOT dictate how we are treated here, what our experiences are "allowed" to be, or how we are expected to act. Treat fictionkind--of all sorts--like PEOPLE.

Tips for Sebastian Solace.

Plain text: Tips for Sebastian Solace. End plat text.

Play your source/media.

Keep files or journals about things. People you know/encounter, animals or plants, experiences and memories, places, anything.

Keep your files or journals meticulously organized.

Collect useful items you find

Keep things like flashlights, first aid supplies, and other important gear with you

If you’re sensitive to light, wear sunglasses when you can

Get a bunch of bags, satchels, backpacks, purses, or other things of the sort and wear a few wherever you go.

Wear fancy, Victorian sort of clothing with lots of pockets (for more storage of course).

Use plenty of dry humor and sarcasm.

Keep your hair long over your face to feel like you are obscuring your third eye.

Wear some bandages on your arm if you miss the feeling of them.

Go swimming, or try some water based activities.

May these tips be useful for you on your endeavors, friend.

-Sebastian

Eat Your Heart Out (A Source Memory Pressure Fanfic)

DISCLAIMER: This fic is highly based on source memories, which shares a resemblance to a certain “Ask Sebastian” series found here. The video was also referenced when memory was spotty. Please don’t compare the two, I know they’re similar, but many source memories seem to be sourced from this video-

It was a long time since the large fish amalgamation was in containment, and it was an absolute fight to get him back. The last-minute change in protocol was a surprise to the task team in charge of dealing with Z-13, which left him rather injured, but the retrieval was a success. For now, he was locked up in his cell with cuffs and the required muzzle, and his wounds mostly tended to before he woke up again. Even with his lure light off, you could see his glowing eyes glaring through the one-way glass.

After giving him a few hours to settle into his new confines, one of the heads of the research division entered the viewing bay. She tapped on the intercom microphone, which seemed to get his attention. Satisfied with that response, she pressed the red button on the tape recorder before speaking.

“This is Dr. A. Monroe, beginning interview log 1-A with Z-13, “The Saboteur”, who-”

“The name’s Sebastian..” The beast’s chilling voice cut her off as the purple light from his lure flickered on, showing just how cramped his current living quarters were. The room was padded to make it harder to harm himself (accidentally or not), and his cuffs chained to the back wall to prevent him from getting too close to the glass. She knew his strength could shatter even the shark-proof glass installed, she just hoped the titanium chains would keep him restrained so they didn’t have to test that theory…

“If you’re going to have this little interview with me, you might as well use my real name.” She sighed as she adjusted the spectacles on her face before continuing her introduction.

“..Z-13, “Sebastian Solace”, has been recently apprehended and returned to containment after recent events regarding our research facility, the Hadal Blacksite. This session is dedicated to questions regarding the lockdown incident at said facility, as well as… Some from the team who managed to survive retrieving the crystal…” She couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she heard an amused chuckle. 

“Perhaps this would be more entertaining than I thought..~ Let’s just get this over with.” Dr. Monroe mumbled something in agreement before glancing down at her clipboard and clicking her pen.

“What did you do during the lockdown?” Sebastian chuckled, shifting his position into something more comfortable.

“Mostly just explored the extent of my new prison, picking up what was left behind during the scramble to escape… You would be surprised just how much was laying around! Light sources, hacking materials, classified documents, first aid kits- Most weren't of use to me, though.”

“Why did you decide to assist the crystal retrieval teams during their expeditions?” Dr. Monroe raised a brow when she caught a brief cackle from the fish, catching a grin from between the slits of the muzzle.

“It was a wonderful benefit to me, you know..~ I get juicy data and research, and in return, they get items that are more useful to them than myself. And then they would live up to their names; they would die and I could sell what wasn’t broken. A glorious cycle, all funded by you~” Her nose crinkled a little as he spoke, unsure if he was just trying to make her uncomfortable or if he was genuine in his tone. There was always the possibility of both…

“..What exactly did you plan to do with all of those Blacksite documents?” His demeanor shifted noticeably, his arms crossing over his chest and his tail bunching up in front of him.

“Wouldn’t you love for me to tell you, hm?”

“Why did you free the other subjects, and how?”

“Why wouldn’t I free them? They served as a wonderful distraction that allowed me to go about my business! …And they deserved freedom as much as I do… You slaughtered the lot of them, didn’t you? I saw all the blood before your team attacked me-” Monroe quietly adjusted her glasses and flipped to the next page before continuing.

“Out of the other subjects within the facility, did you have a favorite?”

“Oh, this is definitely a crystal team question, isn’t it?” He scoffed a little, “But if I have to answer this ridiculous question, yes, I did.. Most were not inclined to chit-chat, after all, most couldn’t speak! But… I came to an.. Understanding… With Eyefestation… She, yes she, went through some of the worst of your ‘experiments’... She deserved a better life…”

“What about your relationship with The P.AI.nter?” A low growl made her blood run cold, looking up from her clipboard to realize he seemed closer than before.

“...Moving on… The mutation's side effects replaced your legs with a large tail. How has this affected your movement capabilities?” Sebastian looked down at his tail and flexed it, fanning out the flukes at the end.

“It’s been.. Interesting.. Getting used to it all. While I find it easier to swim nowadays, by no means am I slow on land, which you could probably guess~ I honestly couldn’t imagine a life with legs again.”

“We are half-way through, Mr. Solace. What abilities did your mutations give you?” She immediately grew tense as Sebastian’s eyes widened, his gaze slowly raising back to the glass as one eye twitched. 

“You. Don’t. KNOW!? You kept absolutely NO RECORD of all my surgeries!?” He lunged forward while baring his teeth through his muzzle, Dr. Monroe immediately slamming her hand on a button on the dashboard. A shrill cry of pain was heard as his body thrashed before collapsing to the ground, heavy breathes can be heard as she gave him some time to recover, ever thankful for the integrated taser in the shackles. She just hoped she could get through these last questions quickly…

“Were the experiments performed on you…Painful?”

“...Painful…?” A soft, strained voice emanated from the large fish as he slowly pulled himself upright, his yellow eyes glowing from behind his hair.

“Were they PAINFUL? You CUT me open, FISHED around inside me with NO ANESTHETICS, and shoved ANIMAL PARTS into my FLESH! WHAT COULD’VE GIVEN YOU THAT IDEA!?” He snarled loudly, Monroe’s hand hovering over the button yet again.

“S-Subject seems unstable and agitated, suspending interview until further n-” Dr. Monroe gasped loudly and hit the button as Sebastian lunged towards the window again, barely able to register the click and fizzle before the shattering of glass signaled things have gotten much, much worse. She screamed as she was thrown into the wall, struggling to catch her breath from the wind being knocked out of her, fearful eyes watching the mutated fish man tear off his restraints.

“You know, Doc.. Your little ‘team’ should’ve killed me when they had the chance…~” He picked her up by the neck and slammed her against the wall, leaning in close with that toothy grin of his. She managed to choke out a pained plea, which he just ignored.

“Because now? Now I have alllllll I need to ruin your company, and I can just slither out of here, the rest of this place being none the wiser..~ I really must thank you for that. But this is now farewell, Dr. Monroe..~” Another scream was cut short as he ripped into her, letting all of his rage and anger take over until she was no longer recognizable. Dripping in blood, he dragged himself to the tape recorder, chuckling when he realized it was still recording.

“Eat your heart out, Urbanshade.” He hissed, his words dripping with venom before slamming his fist onto the stop button, accidentally breaking the machine in the process. He then threw it at the camera before tearing it free from the wall.

“...You took your sweet old time-” He grumbled, a computer screen going white with a sketchy face being drawn on it.

“You’re so silly, Sebastian! My USB is in the office, see you soon!”

---

I'm Sebastian, same deal as above, I'm a fictive of the character from Pressure. I'm 31, and use exclusively he/him pronouns. Honestly I mainly asked if Painter would share this blog because I was too lazy to create my own.

Expect a lot of miscellaneous content from me. - 🔦

🪢 byf 🪢 - A note for interaction with us- We are bodily 19, we prefer 16+ only interaction just in case we post anything risque, but anyone is free to interact. No explicit NSFW content will be posted on this blog. - This is not a kin/rp blog, though we have no issues with them. Both are allowed to interact, but please do not treat us like we're just role-playing. - We don't really care if Sebastian x Painter shippers interact, just don't involve us in that. Thanks.

reminder to newly formed alters and people with DID/OSDD in general:

it's okay to not know who's fronting or who you are. you don't always have to know, and being blurry is an extremely common experience. it's literally called "dissociative identity disorder", and it's bound to happen. there's no pressure to immediately know who you are, and if you don't know, find out later. just get whatever you need to have done, done.

i see so many newly formed alters stress about whether or not they're an introject or brain made, and if they're an introject, "whats my source?". hey, you can figure that out all later. not to mention it doesn't necessarily matter if an alter is an introject or not, it's simply another alter here to help cope.

TLDR; you don't have to always know who's fronting, there should be no pressure to. do what's most important and figure it out later

[pipeupcomic]

ok I wouldn't normally do this but I feel like you guys would actually appreciate this, and also I got peer pressured: we just got a Quinn introject✌ (/compliment btw!!)

If I had a nickle for every time a plural reader split a Quinn fictive after yesterday's page I would have 2 nickles...

Spiritual Purality Interview/Essay

Hello all! This is an official call for anyone who might be interested in contributing their experiences to an essay of sorts we're working on. The overall topic is spiritual plurality and the experiences of that specific segment of the community. We have a discord server for the notes, chats, and such, which will be our primary way of communicating to everyone else unless anyone specifically needs another platform to chat on. We plan to go over common plural experiences and how systems/collectives/etc. of spiritual origins (or in which spirituality effects their plurality in some way) relate to or differ from the most common descriptions of those experiences!

Here's a list of some of the things we're likely to cover:

Innerworlds/otherworlds/headspaces and how they’re experienced

Exomemories as experienced by introjects regardless of whether their source is another reality, and exomemories of any form. (past/parallel life, ‘kin memories by non-introject headmates and introjects with ‘kintypes, etc. etc. whatever we may not have thought of.)

Headmates of spiritual origin and the variety of forms they can take. (ex. Introvects and similar terms, other souls, etc.)

How plurality and spiritual practices relate to each other, as well as the general intersection between the two.

Spiritual plurals and their beliefs around reality and such

Transparency is important so as a quick note as to how we plan to handle things: Nothing disclosed in the discord server or elsewhere will be put into the essay without explicit permission. Every question asked, topic covered, etc. can be skipped- nothing has to be answered. We'll also be writing our own experiences into the essay, so we're being just as open as everyone else- we also want to make it clear to everyone involved that they can drop out at any time, even if they're the last system/collective working with us! We want the environment to be as low-pressure and as safe and comfortable as possible, so I feel it's best to make that clear in the post! We're always open to suggestions and questions as well.

Anyone interested can comment or reblog this post saying they're interested if they're not comfortable initiating DM's, or shoot us a DM!
