Hi! Hi!!!

I'm Stanley of The parable, nice to meet you! :3

I love listening to people talk, so you can literally ramble to me for 30 minutes just so I can sit silently and be fascinated

(Narrator if you're out there please talk to me, ours doesn't like me </3)

[plural-affirmations]

Here's to the ones who don't want sourcemates!

Sourcemates, in the context of plurality, is typically finding a person in another system who has an introject from the same source as you. For example, a Karkat Vantas fictive in System A might want to be friends with System B's Dave Strider fictive, because they're both fictives from the same media (Homestuck). However, not everyone wants them! Which is what we're here to talk about today.

Shoutout to:

Those who don't want any sourcemates at all

Those who might want only to find a specific sourcemate

Headmates who don't identify with their source enough to warrant finding others from what they're based on

System members who are from problematic sources, and don't want to be reminded of where they originated

People who are from media they find triggering, so finding sourcemates would mean risking their mental health

And anyone else who just isn't up to the idea of being around introjects that are similar to them, no matter the reason!

You don't have to have sourcemates to be a valid introject, or to have a meaningful existence! No one (I hope!) is forcing you to connect with others you don't want to; it's perfectly alright to not see the point in any of it, or just not like the concept in general!

You are so, so loved!

🖤💜💙💚💛

friendly reminder that dating someone just because you knew them in source is unhealthy and unsafe!!

i know from experience that people will look for sourcemates because they know they’ll be easier to get close to, and therefore manipulate/abuse/groom/whatever. i know you might miss your sourcemates, and the idea of meeting them again is so exciting, but rushing into a relationship if you just met them is so unsafe. alters are not their source, they are just based (loosely) off a character because the brain decided that would help the system through whatever they are going through!! they are not going to be exactly like the person you remember, you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment

General!Ticci Toby HCs. . .

This took longer than expected . . Read till the end for a lil blurb <3 reminder ! English isn’t my first language.

—Clothing;

It depends on how old Toby is.. at first he only wore the clothes Slenderman “found” him in and whatever other articles of clothing he was able to scavenge up. It wasn’t until a few years later he felt safe enough to venture out and buy some clothes from the thrift. (with stolen money cuz bitch don’t get paid to be a lumberjack,,, a human lumberjack that is.)

I’m so bad at describing; just think of Will Graham's season 1 outfit n shit. 😭 I feel like he’d probably dress like a grandpa. Oversized Grandpa sweaters, those button-ups/dress shirts under w collars that peep out, any baggy pants in general. Work/toe steel boots >> .

He just doesn’t bother much w dressing up! It’s also so he doesn’t stand out much whenever trying to go somewhere in public — sometimes he’d get lucky and find band tees of bands he likes or Jeff lets him borrow some of his own.

—music;

A firm believer that he loves metal. Something about the chaotic-icy helps him “soothe the voices.” his favorite bands would be Sevendust, Rammstein, and Lamb of god!

Once when he was on a mission he accidentally broke into the wrong house and lucky him it was a middle-aged white dad who had a thing for 2000s rock and metal. Killed that fucker and stole as many albums and CDs as he possibly could :p.

He’d DIY a bunch of studded leather bracelets and give a few away to Natalie and Jeffery. Gifting is his love language tbh

—interests;

Most residents of the manor (when he ‘lived’ there) don’t/didn’t know much about Toby since he doesn’t bother socializing much. He seems pretty disinterested to the rest but the dude really has some great hobbies and things he enjoys. For one he loves crafting, especially wood carving! He also has a habit of collecting animal bones/remains to clean and use them as decor. His favorites prob have to be fox skulls :). Very much a trinket collector as well. Just a odd man :3

Besides hobbies, oddly enough he enjoys Sanrio-related things—specifically cinnamon roll. (Since it’s the only character he knows,) he will convince you that the cinnamoroll is a bunny, not a dog. He refuses to accept that the little cartoon character is not a bunny as he first assumed. Of course he likes music music,, he’s given poetry a chance, isn’t the great at it but really enjoys it!

—Biography;

Toby is Dominican-German. His mom was Dominican while his dad was German! He’s fluent in Spanish and somewhat broken German. Around 5’9 to 6’0 foot tall. Late teens and early twenties he was more scrawny than anything but after 13 years of labor and trying to survive he obv grew some muscle mass and like… isn’t built like a 17-year-old boy idfk. Ofc, he was born on April 28th 1994. Toby grew up in more southern states (specifically Alabama) and has a slighht southern accent.

—Proxy experiences;

Toby is a runaway proxy; one of the very few that managed to escape Slendermans (or the operators, depending on which) grasp. Though he isn’t exactly safe cuz of this, If he gets too close to the terrority of Slenderman or the operator he starts developing symptoms and illness. Course the main being static n amnesia, waking up in random places covered in blood, etc. Toby can’t feel pain so the static doesn’t cause immense headaches but it’s dangerous for that exact reason; he can never tell when his nose starts to bleed or his ears rupture.

Toby only got involved with the operator in his later years (maybe around midish late 20’s) when he was in the minced of escaping Slenderman, and just so happened to meet Tim Wight. He spiraled into a REDACTED hell hole from there.

—Love interest(s) ?;

Oh boy, , it really depends on how quirky im feeling. Ticciwork and TicciJeff tbh. He loves ppl with no sanity 🫶🫶 Thankfully Jeff isn’t involved with Slender because he’s too much of a loose cannon to be controlled, much like EJ, the rake, seed, smile, grinny, etc. and Slenderman doesn’t take interest in Clockwork but since she has connections with some of slendermans valuable tyrants and or proxies, the entity leaves her be.

Jeff was the one to help Toby escape slenderman, and snapped him out of his “devotion” era. Clock is just amazing girlfriend and always there for him :p.

extra . . . .

[ REDACTED ! ! ]

This Deja vu feeling haunts him. He doesn’t understand why he’s being searched for. Why do the cops know who he is? Why is he? Who was he?

Childhood didn’t exist. Was he always grown ?

Why is it when he passes down that neighborhood, it feels so nostalgic . Nothing left but ashes and decaying foundations of homes, homes that were once were preoccupied by happy families. He call still smell the remains of the burnt buildings. Strange. It’s like he could never forget.

Jeff always went quiet whenever they were talking and the topic of this neighborhood was brought up, does he know something the EX proxy doesn’t?

What’s more confusing is that fateful night with Natalie, he found himself driving down a dark road that one night. It shared similar sentiment much like the abandoned neighborhood, only much more sinister. He was with Clocky, Pretty brunette with a clock for one eye,, the other an odd emerald green. Over time, the twitchy man taught himself to read clocks just so he wouldn’t have to check his phone for the time. Natalie’s eye always went tick tock, tick tock.

It was only him and Nat against the world at that moment,, so who was the mauled looking blonde in his rear view window? Sitting in the back of his car as well, it was strange. Jeff usually hoarded up the back seats. . He wouldn’t share it with a victim.

But it isn’t just a victim. Toby found himself struggling to catch his breath, who is she? Nat. It’s not Nat. It’s not Jeff. It’s just some blonde girl. A young adult that resembles someone he doesn’t know. Does he know ? ? ?

Who is she?

What was once a soft and familiar safe touch was now ghostly and evocative ? ?

Everything is blurry around him. He doesn’t hear her asking if he’s okay.

He doesn’t feel her cold touch, her hand covering his on the steering wheel.

One moment he’s on the road

The next he’s out cold

.

What caused him to swerve into that tree ?

Why did he put their lives at risk ?

.

Panting. He heard harsh panting. Was that him? Was that her? His hands were completely thrown off the steering wheel and replaced with paler, somewhat smaller ones. Not so gentle though. Something warm was dripping down from his nose. Metallic scent wafted and clogged his nostrils. He licked his lips and wasn’t surprised to be met with blood - he looked in the rear view mirror - NO BLONDIE IN SIGHT

He looked out the window. Did he just barely manage to swerve away from that tree? No. He didn’t save their lives. He looked to his right. A singular green eye met his. She’s unharmed, unlike REDACTED but shooken up. What brought him back to his senses was that familiar disoriented voice.

“Toby, what the fuck ??”

Does anyone know the history of the term "sourcemate?"

This was one of many comments on a video claiming someone was stealing system terms, either "source" or "sourcemate."

Source is very obviously not an exclusive term. It's just a word... a very basic English word.

As for sourcemate, I've traced its use in the kin community back over half a decade. This post was from early 2017:

But it's likely been part of the shared vocabulary longer and I would really like to be able to properly shutdown this nonsense.

[pluralprompts]

Prompt #568

Several introjects of the same being somehow find themselves inside their source self's mind. Now they must adjust to a new life as a system while also adjusting themselves to their new – old? – life as their source.

Bonus: at least one of them is questioning in the background if they still count as introjects if they're back in their original body now.

[chriscrossgriffin]

@loiswasadevil and I have been talking all night and realized we're definitely canonmates. I kin source Chris, nothing different, and she kins source Lois too. I'm so glad I not only found my mom but I found my REAL mom. I missed you

Welcome to Pluralwatch, a server primarily meant for Overwatch alters and kins, but is also open to alters and kins of all kinds. The server is 100% safe for Endos, littles, pets, everyone. If you’re apart of a system, you’re safe to be here.

The server’s brand new and has—As of posting this?—Literally no members outside of admins, haha. The whole idea of this server was brought up by our Mondatta fictive, actually :] He hopes you enjoy our little server!

With that said, there will be both minors and adults alike in this server. If you are bodily a minor who’s not comfortable around adults, don’t join. Vice versa for the adults not wanting to be around minors, as well.

Reblogs are very much appreciated to share the server and help it gain more reach.

[multiplicity-positivity]

hi do you have any resources or advice for an introject missing their sourcemates?

Hello - unfortunately, we couldn’t find many resources for introjects when it comes to specifically missing sourcemates. Our apologies.

We have members of our own system who really struggle with this. Losing sourcemates can feel like losing beloved friends and family, especially if you have strong exomemories regarding your source.

Some accounts might do source calls? We aren’t so interested in that sort of thing, but you might be able to find community in sourcemates from other systems. If you’re interested in putting out a source call, @sourcecall-central seems to be an active blog that does that sort of thing. We’re not sure about any others, though.

As far as advice for coping with those painful feelings and memories… we definitely do not have all the answers, but we can share what has worked for our parts in the past.

For us, reassuring each other, allowing ourselves to feel our emotions, to grieve, to mourn, has all been quite useful. Our introjects with strong ties to their sources are encouraged to cry, to fume, to express themselves. They journal, they write angsty poetry and draw vent art, they talk to our therapist, spouse, other members of our system, and generally reach out for support when they need it. We’re still learning how to be there for each other, and this is one way in which we accomplish that.

We try to remind each other that there are no wrong emotions. It’s okay to miss sourcemates, to long for how things used to be. But it’s also important to remember that things change, and hope and a happy life are still possible and attainable now, in this life, outside of our sources. Remembering and honoring the past does not mean we are doomed to always feel stuck in it. And processing our emotions in healthy ways can be beneficial for coping with the loss of people, places, and good times from our sources.

We hope this is useful, although it’s not comprehensive and really is just our system’s experience with this sort of thing. If anyone reads this and has any further advice or resources, you are more than welcome to share. We could benefit from those sorts of resources as well.

Hello!!

In true honesty I've got no clue what I'm doing... But I suppose I'll do it anyways!!!

I'm an Aziraphale introject, and It would be wonderful if anyone from my source would mayhaps hit us up for chat!

(I don't know if I'm doing this right... Don't tell me if I'm doing it wrong though-)

[drnoxslog]

Back to what this blog was made for.

It is so lonely and so hard being one of the only Apex Legends I know. I have Witt/Bloodhound, and we are so close; I’m grateful for that - I just wish I had Octavio. Every waking hour of everyday I am thinking of him, missing him. My life is so empty without him. Octavio, come home

[phoenix-descent]

van you explain sourcemates?

Course!!

So, for people who don’t know, in systems there are alters who are fictives/factives. Basically that means they’re ‘sourced’ from media/real life! It’s a coping mechanism that is very normal for systems, especially neurodivergent ones.

Sourcemates are alters in your system or someone else’s who are from the same source! Usually people will ask for sourcemates to interact with them because it’s nice and comforting to talk to someone you know/someone who knows you/someone familiar.

thanks for the ask, anon!
