Here’s some positivity for fictives who feel complicated about their source!

It’s quite common and totally normal for fictives to have complicated, conflicted, or confusing feelings about their source! Most introjects cannot choose our sources, and it’s okay if we don’t know how to feel about them or have difficulties engaging with them for whatever reason. If you’re a fictive who has complicated feelings regarding your source, this post is for you!

🌀 Shoutout to fictives with exotrauma that makes it difficult to enjoy their source!

⭕️ Shoutout to fictives who both love and hate their source at the same time!

🔆 Shoutout to fictives in trauma-formed systems whose source reminds them of their trauma history!

🌀 Shoutout to fictives who are both uncomfortable with being compared to their source, and want to be viewed as their source!

⭕️ Shoutout to fictives who feel like they should separate from their source, but don’t want to die any reason!

🔆 Shoutout to fictives who often go back and forth on how they view their source!

🌀 Shoutout to fictives who love some aspects about their source but dislike others!

⭕️ Shoutout to fictives who have complicated feelings about their source due to being very canon divergent!

🔆 Shoutout to fictives whose ideas about their source would be considered strange, uncommon, or unorthodox by others!

🌀 Shoutout to fictives who wish they could avoid thinking about or interacting with their source entirely due to their complex feelings about it!

⭕️ Shoutout to fictives whose exomemories don’t align with their source, making it difficult for them to understand it!

For any fictive, there is no one right or wrong way to feel about your source. It’s okay and it makes sense to have complicated, complex, confusing, or conflicted thoughts or feelings regarding it! These feelings don’t invalidate you at all as a fictive, introject, or beloved member of your system. You still belong in your system and in the plural community just the way you are!

If you’re a fictive with complicated feelings about your source, please know that we are rooting for you and care about you in all that you do. You should never feel obligated to think or feel a certain way about your source! We hope that you can take it easy for a while and treat yourself and your system with kindness and gentleness in the future. Thank you so much for reading, and have a lovely day!

An introject accidentally outs themself after instinctively responding to someone talking about their source self and must scramble to do damage control.

When Hermes brought Poseidon to me after he’d been a bit stabby stabbed, he looked so mad with himself. Poseidon did. It was a funny combination of “incredibly mad at self” and “too ashamed to express madness nobody look at me”. He’s a bit special!

People from epic that remind me of people from source (specifically my canon) cuz why the fuck not

Eurylochus - Lute

The whole Luck Runs Out thing and Ody and Eury's friendship reminds me of me and Lute a shit ton. Second in command, trying to be the voice of logic and shit.

Polites - Emily

Open Arms. Do I need to say more?

Athena - Sera

The whole mentor thing and her relationship with Odysseus. Reminds me of my relationship with her. She was kinda my mentor when I first died, showing me around heaven and teaching me and shit.

I don’t actually have all of my memories :P I remember significant stuff about who I am and what I went through, but I can barely remember what my Wilbur was like, I can remember Tubbo but not what he looked like, I can’t even remember anything about Ranboo, tbh I even forgot what my Dream was like after his prison arc, half of the stuff I sort of just pieced together with assumptions and guesses

Genuinely I wish I could remember it all like a clear picture playing in my head, but I can’t… I know I miss my friends and relationships, that’s truly all I have :(

I feel fake, like I’m less of a Tommy compared to others

Here’s some positivity for introjects who are connected to their source!

There’s no one true or correct way to be an introject - introjects come in all shapes and sizes, and may have a wide variety of ways in which they view their source! Whether a factive, fictive, faitive, objective, conceptive, songtive, or something else, it’s okay for introjects of all sorts to like their source of feel connected to it. If you’re an introject who is connected to your source, this post is for you!

❤️ Shoutout to introjects who identify with their source’s name, gender, pronouns, sexuality, or other identities!

🧡 Shoutout to introjects who kin their sources!

💛 Shoutout to introjects who identify with their source despite having never directly seen or interacted with it!

💚 Shoutout to introjects whose source is their special interest, hyperfixation, or one of their favorite things!

💙 Shoutout to introjects who roleplay or otherwise engage with the world as their source!

💜 Shoutout to introjects who are source divergent or who don’t identify much with their source, but are still deeply connected to it!

❤️ Shoutout to introjects who like being referred to as their source!

🧡 Shoutout to introjects who are tired of their relationship to their source being policed or dictated by others!

💛 Shoutout to introjects who distanced or disconnected from their source, only to reconnect with it later on!

💚 Shoutout to introjects who often feel ostracized or left out of plural spaces because of how they view their source!

💙 Shoutout to introjects whose relationships to their source are intricate, nuanced, or complex!

💜 Shoutout to introjects who go through phases or waves of feeling more or less connected to their source!

Introjects may not literally be their source, but that doesn’t mean they are morally obligated to abandon connections to their source altogether! Introjects can and often do have a wide range of opinions on or relationships to their sources! It’s okay for introjects to love their source or feel strongly connected to it. You’re still just as valid and cherished as an introject, a member of your system, and a member of the plural community just the way you are!

We hope every source-connected introject who sees this can have a lovely day today. Please treat yourself with the kindness and gentleness you deserve, and don’t judge yourself too harshly for how you view your source! Rest assured, you will always be welcome in our spaces without the expectation to change. Thanks so much for reading, and take care!

System A is aware of the supernatural, and has had many encounters with supernatural creatures, but such existences aren't widely accepted as fact by others. Due to this, Factive A1 has a difficult time explaining who they're a factive of.

When I came out as transfem I was a first year. I had a girlfriend at the time and it was scary. She wasn’t very happy and we broke up but Osoro was very nice about it. She took care of me after I came out along with all of my other friends, but she did make sure I had my meds. I love you @im-hot-and-ill-kick-your-ass <3
