Why is the things a fragment will suddenly develop a new part of their identity over always so random and hilarious for us

[the-silent-fellowship]

Calling all fragments in our system. Pick a damn faceclaim for the love of god I have no clue who the fuck are you all!

I quite literally have made y’all a whole ass folder on Pinterest to help. >:C

So what if when SQH arrived to PIDW he was fragmented into three different people?

1. He wakes up after he thinks is the end. He’s a young, beautiful woman. And apparently she’s a cultivator? Su Xiyan, they call her. She realizes she’s in her damn story playing the role of a character that’s meant to die. She hates it and tries really hard to change history but it’s useless. No matter how hard she tries she can’t get the palace master off her ass. Really, that dude is a creep.

She tries to run away but here’s something invisible keeping her there, spoiling all of her plans. It’s infuriating. So, she decides just not to play along. Ignore the plot.

Suddenly she meets a demon. They fall in love and it’s inevitable.

It’s doom. She knows what will happen to her, to him (her silly, lovely demon Lord, it’s hard not to love him— she never stood a chance), to her unborn child.

She cries and begs and screams but she’s imprisoned. Punished for loving the “wrong” man.

It’s hard to remember but she manages to scape. Her last memories are Luo Binghe’s cries. It’s cold, oh so cold, and she hates herself for writing something so sad and depressing.

2. He’s a child again. Not sure how that’s possible, but he’s living and breathing. Shang Lei is pretty sure he died in a very pathetic and pitiful way.

For a long time he thinks it’s just a dream. But the hunger and pain feel real.

Shang Lei finds out he’s living in the PIDW universe when a cultivator visits the town talking about the recruitment for Cang Qiong Sect. He wants to laugh and cry and run the other way but then a blue screen pops up scaring the shit out of him.

A system, he has a system. Now he understands this second life is not for him to enjoy, but to fix his own story (excuse you??? Fix???).

He’s forced to join the sect, to join An Ding, and it takes an embarrassing amount of time to realice he’s Shang Qinghua, the cannon fodder.

It’s depressing and anxiety inducing but he has no other option but to obey the cruel system.

He meets Mobei and he swears it’s love at first sight. Obviously he promises to follow him forever —the system intervention is not needed.

Years passes, he becomes head disciple. It’s hard, unpleasant work. He hates it with all his gut. But the system needs him to be a Peak Lord, so Shang Lei becomes Shang Qinghua.

He’s nervous, Binghe’s birth is near. He knows it, he has been keeping track.

And one day… it happens.

His head feels like it’s been split open. He screams and everything turns black.

When he wakes up he’s at Qian Cao infirmary. Mu Qingfang is trying to talk to him, her?, but he’s overwhelmed by the memories flashing in front of him.

It hurst so much, physically and emotionally.

The system is apologizing to him (a first, really,) talking about a glitch and diving his soul. Qinghua is not listening, he can barely breathe. All he can think of is his baby and her darling husband now imprisoned under a mountain.

Before he can think of running of there and look for Luo Binghe (he’s just baby— he needs me! ) the system warns him.

He’s not allowed to find him. He’s not allowed to save him.

Mu Qingfang witnesses the worst second case of Qi deviation he has ever seen in his life.

3.

He wakes up. She’s a woman, an old woman. Her body hurts from hunger, cold, and age.

It must be a dream, she thinks. But when she wakes up the next day, and the next, and she’s here. Shang Lei has to accept his reality.

He died, and instead of just… dissolving or some shit, now he’s an old woman (really, what the fuck?) with no name, no family, and no money in a xianxia universe.

It’s shitty, really shitty.

She tries to… adjust. It’s not easy and the people of this town is extremely cruel. She still manages to find a job as a washerwoman. It’s hard on her because of her age and the seemingly eternal cold of this cursed town, but it gives her enough to buy food so she tries not to complain much.

The loneliness is the issue. Sometimes is too much to handle. She cries and begs the gods to send her someone, anyone, just to stop feeling so lonely.

And then it happens.

A cold morning, a river, a child.

She jumps into the water ignoring the freezing temperature and fights against the current. She almost drowns but it’s worth it. Because now she’s holding in her arms the most beautiful and adorable baby boy she has ever seen in her life.

Her heart feels so full. A child, her child.

There’s no doubt in her heart. This child is hers.

“Luo Binghe,” she says and laughs. It’s silly, her own little private joke to name her child like her protagonist, but isn’t it a nice coincidence?

He, like her protagonist, was floating down the river in the coldest day of the year and was found by a washerwoman.

A washerwoman just like her.

A washwoman…

A baby…

A river…

.

.

.

Huh.

… no matter, she raises Binghe. He’s such a polite, lovely child. Her perfect little gentleman. She tries to teach him about love and kindness, even when the townspeople are cruel and mean Binghe needs to be good!

He’s so smart and grows so fast it makes her proud. But she’s afraid, she can feel her body becoming weaker and weaker with each passing day.

It’s just her and Binghe, no one else. If she dies he’ll be alone.

Her sweet boy tries to help, and when she inevitably falls ill he works hard to put food on the table for both of them.

Sometimes he arrives dirty, his eyes filled with tears and bruises on his face. He always gives her a warm, big smile when he sees her and her heart aches.

Her time is coming, she knows. And she begs him to be good, to be kind even when it’s pointless. She no longer tries to deny it, Shang Lei is aware in which universe they are living.

The last thing she sees are the eyes of her beautiful child filled with tears begging her not to leave him.

4. SQH wakes up in QC again. He’s numb and Mu-shidi looks alarmed, he seems discussing his state with the sect leader (what is he doing here?)

The memories of Luo Binghe’s mother, his/hers, fills him with both warmth and sadness.

She raised him, she managed to raise her son. Even if she didn’t know she birthed him, she loved Luo Binghe as her own and did her best to give him a home.

But now he’s alone… and Shang Qinghua can’t reach him. Because the system is stopping him, threatening to hurt him or his son if he dares not to follow the script.

It’s so unfair and twisted, he wants to cry. But he can’t fight so he’s forced to watch his son grow from far away… Abused, beaten, and punished.

He despises SQQ and plans on killing him. But then he has a Qi deviation so strong his whole personality changes and suddenly his son is finally treated with respect and love and Binghe seems to adore his new Shizun (maybe a little too much??? Young man! That man is way too old for you!!!!)

Life is good, for a while.

Binghe is thrown into the abyss, he finds out SQQ is a transmigrator (but unlike him he wasn’t split), they form and alliance and so much shit happens that his story is no longer his.

It’s different, good. Binghe is happy, his old lover is free (still as handsome as the day they met), Mobei has promised to threat him better (i love you, do you love me, my king?) and he has no system to worry about anymore.

… But he stares at Binghe sometimes. Yearning for him. To hold him and kiss his forehead and she used to do when he was a child.

Unfortunately it’s not possible. Binghe hates him (please I beg you, the system forced me, —) and sees him as nothing more than a rat.

He tries his best to pretend it doesn’t hurt, but whenever LBG insults him he locks himself up in his rooms and cries. He could tell him the truth since the system seems to be gone but Shang Qinhua is paralyzed with fear. He knows he wont be able to survive Binghe’s rejection. So, SQH lowers his head and takes it no matter how vicious Binghe’s comments get when his cucumber-bro is not around.

.

// ran out of ideas—

I haven’t decided how but ???? Maybe one day SQH talks with Tianlang-Jun and the demon is reminded of a beautiful cultivator of his past and is instantly captivated. He follows him around much to Mobei and all the other demons dismay. It makes Binghe uncomfortable because that man is his father, why is acting like with SQH of all people?

(Mobei and Tianlang-jun fighting for SQH’s attention— him earning a reputation for having the former emperor and the second strongest demon in all the realm after him. SQH remains oblivious to it, thinking they are just being nice)

(SQQ: airplane this is so fucking dumb what kind of extras are these????)

(Binghe gets… suspicious. Tries to get closer to SQH to investigate— is this a plot to usurp the throne? What’s so special about him?

SQH is just glad his son is paying positive attention to him! No insults, no mean comments! Is he doing something right? He wont question it—

• SQQ jealous shenanigans.

• SQH slipping and using his other life knowledge to spoil LBG.

LBG: ????? Wtf???? How does he know i like this? Why— how? Is he stalking me?

SQH: I made this dish for Jungshang—

//tastes just like his mother’s cooking.//

LBG: *cries*

• TLJ and MBJ temporary truce. They can’t lose SQH to LBG.

• SQQ still losing his shit: wtf you hack author this is my husband!

• SQH and Binghe bonding, very wholesome, very cutesy. Binghe is really conflicted but this… it feels familiar. And… Shang-shishu smells like his mother???? Oh, he’s crying again.

Yeah, that the idea I hve so far idk feel free to use it or add anything I’ll go have breakfast now 👍🏽

A place to rest.

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for headmates who rarely front!

Fronting is not a requirement in order to be a valid headmate or member of your system. Some systems may find that they have members who hardly front at all, or who only fronted briefly years ago, and that's okay! Every system is unique, every system member is unique, and each system may have unique needs when it comes to fronting and interacting with the world. If your system has members who hardly front, or who used to front but don't anymore, this post is for you!

🌈 Shoutout to fragments who front for specific purposes, then vanish for long periods of time!

✨ Shoutout to headmates who have only fronted once or twice!

💗 Shoutout to headmates who front for a specific task that is rarely needed in their system!

🌈 Shoutout to systems who are unsure how to count or keep track of their members due to fragments or headmates who hardly ever front!

✨ Shoutout to headmates who lead rich and complex lives in their system’s headspace or inner world even if they rarely front!

💗 Shoutout to headmates who sometimes question whether or not they exist due to how little they front!

🌈 Shoutout to fragments and headmates who struggle to understand their own identities due to not fronting often!

✨ Shoutout to systems who miss particular members of their collective who have been dormant, missing, or who have just not fronted in a very long time!

💗 Shoutout to headmates and fragments who only front on specific days like birthdays, anniversaries, or events that happen rarely!

🌈 Shoutout to headmates who formed to fill a certain role for their system, but haven’t been needed in the front to perform their duties since!

You don’t have to front at all in order to be a valued, special, and important member of your system. Headmates, fragments, alters, and parts who don’t front often are still valid as members of their system and are still deserving of love, dignity, and respect just the way they are! No system member should ever feel guilty or pressured to front more often than they wish or are capable of.

If you or someone in your system is a headmate who rarely fronts at all, we want to remind you that a system member’s existence is in no way tied to how much or how little they front. Please show your headmates who don’t front often some love and support, and let them know that they are cherished and wanted in your system, even if they haven’t fronted in a long time or find it difficult or impossible to front these days. Take care of yourselves and each other, and have a great day!

THE OLIVER MARY JANES VS KARASU LOAFERS ???? im losing my fuckin mind pls expand on this .

context

i think oliver likes when you mostly seem like a good girl but he can tell you might be a bit of a freak. maybe your clothes are a little tighter, heels a little higher. your perfume is sweet when you talk to him. or maybe he catches you looking at something on your phone you definitely should not be looking at when you're on the clock or in public. or the abashed way you react when he flirts with you, the way your eyes widen when he says something a little inappropriate, he thinks it's sweet. it makes him wanna reveal more of that from you, unveil it and see how far he can take it. even embarrass you a little about it. he wants to see the facade break apart under him and have you begging for what you really want

karasu on the other hand likes when you're actually good because he gets hard at the most mundane things. you're working on something with a furrowed brow, not paying attention to him at all, and he's both endeared and hard all at once. also things like picking an outfit, pushing through hangers to find something you like, finding a cup in the cupboard and being on your tippy toes. something about it drives him crazy. he just wants to have you right there. you're so cute. he really wants you to let him show you how you make him feel

[philosophybits]

Logic is neither the preface, nor the instrument, nor the formula, nor an episode of philosophy. It is, rather, a coordinated pragmatic science opposed to poetry and to ethics and deriving from the demand for a positive truth and the premise of the possibility of a system.

Fragment Developer

(credit to @elliott-the-creature for making this flag)

the definition is this mueheh

A fragment developer is a headmate who helps fragments or otherwise blank headmates form more, this can be done in multiple ways:

helping fragments pick out labels, names, pronouns, etc.

consuming specific media to make fragments latch onto it

scout around the innerworld to look for lost fragments

any act that actively shapes fragments into a headmate

[shisasan]

The world is not always divided into light and darkness, but rather an ever-shifting twilight where morality bends to the hands that wield it. For one person’s justice can be another’s defiance, one’s mercy another’s betrayal.

✦ KAYNE FRAGMENT AU ✦

a malevolent au where kayne = nyarlothotep, and he willingly gives a fragment of himself to arthur and john. and the 'fuck around and find out's that come with it.

more under the cut !!

— SOME QUICK NOTES:

the fragment (they/any) comes from kayne's right eye. this keeps them connected unlike the kiy

is given to inhabit john's conscious only, so arthur cannot hear them. they're still both stuck w him tho lol

manifested the voice of arthur's beloved late wife bella lester (special treat from kayne. if arthur ever hears them)

cannot be seen like john but still has two visual forms: humanoid (seen with john & arthur) and canine (seen with kayne)
