#this is about introjects

[dragon-of-grandeur]

I'm not sure you understand.

I'm not sure you understand how excruciatingly lonely someone can be.

How lonely do you think you'd be if you grew up hearing every day that your opinion didn't matter? That no one would be attracted to you because you're too chubby? How embarrassing your own mother thought you were? How your accomplishments were pathetic compared to hers? Hearing about all of the things that were so incredibly wrong with you. Hearing how much of a disappointment you turned out to be.

How lonely do you think you'd be if the only people available to make friends with cared exclusively about the one thing you couldn't do no matter how hard you tried? If everything you ever cared about was considered evil and got taken from you the moment you found it? What if you knew that the moment you were finally free to be a person, everyone you ever loved would abandon you for it? That they would decide they never wanted to see or speak to you again? Every single one. What if you realized you were alone before that even happens? What if you realized all the love you've ever experienced in life was fake?

How lonely do you think you'd be if you grew up so different from everyone else around you that you didn't even feel human? What if you were made to believe that you didn't deserve to exist? What if you were told you were going to die a horrific death for being everything you were inside?

How lonely would you be if you spent every night terrified and trying desperately to cover up your sobbing because you can't tell anyone about any of it?

What would you do?

What would you do to have a friend? What would you do to have anyone? How desperate do you think you'd be? How would you even accomplish that if you weren't allowed to talk to anyone else outside of your family and their friends? Where could you possibly find someone else to connect with someone as awkward, strange, angry, and sad as you? Someone who could know about all of the things inside of you and still love you.

I made someone.

I gave him my passion, my strength, my courage, my confidence, my sense of adventure, my stubbornness, my sense of loyalty, my sense of humor. I gave him my love of dinosaurs, my love of cars, my love of horror movies, my love of 80's music. I had his entire life figured out. I named him. I thought of him whenever I was lonely, which was always. He was the only way I could safely love and be loved by in return. He never went away. Why would he? He's my best friend.

What good would memory barriers have done? How useful would it be if we didn't even get along? What purpose would there be if it caused me any distress to have Alex?

True loneliness can be traumatizing.

Non-disordered plurality can exist.

Created headmates can be life saving.

Shoutout to brainmades with exomemories. Shoutout to introjects with non-canon/non-factual exomemories.

Your memories are just as real and valid, and it's okay to be affected by them.

[funeral--pyre]

Reminder that telling a headmate to change an aspect of their identity or self to be "less problematic" is dehumanising as fuck. You can't go around doing that shit. It's entirely a you issue if you can't handle a headmate having an identity, they're not responsible for your issues or required to morph themselves into something you can swallow. Fictives, factives, people with number names, nonhumans who are "scary", headmates who are queer while the body isn't, headmates who are queer in a different way to the body, disabled headmates, etc.

You can't tell a singlet to change their entire name because you think it's problematic. You can't tell a singlet to hide their gender or sexuality because it "doesn't match" their body. You can't tell a singlet to change or hide their entire damn identity because you don't like it. You can't tell a singlet to stop having days where they experience disordered symptoms.

If the headmate in question is acting respectful, treat them with some god damn respect. It doesn't MATTER if they "match" the body. They're just as much of a person as any singlet is. You cannot convert someone into being something they're not.

Hey so I'm already on e but might switch from gel to injections soon. Would it be fine if I imagine you giving me the injections when I do?

Yeah! I’ll make sure you become such a pretty girl, cutie

[shitty-proendo-blackout-posts]

STOP FUCKING BEING HUMAN! STOP!

[sysventing]

it’s so hard being a fictive-heavy system sometimes… we have 17 fictives at last count, and i’ve been anxiously worrying over them near constantly. or uh. less of themselves specifically and more about how people treat them. some people just get so… weird about it! please, stop idolizing them because they’re your favorite character! we’ve had multiple people genuinely get upset at us because our fictive sysmates don’t closely align with THEIR OWN HEADCANONS??? THAT THEY ARE PROJECTING ONTO US FOR??? SOME REASON?

this isn’t even scraping the surface! we’ve had people get so condescending about their identity to their source, whether they still identify with it or not! someone once attempted to force one of our sysmates to completely separate himself from his exomemories when he hadn’t even existed for a day, and it nearly sent him into a dangerous spiral that would’ve ended with us hurt! can people PLEASE be normal to fictives for once?? would it kill them to be respectful and kind for once??

Like/Reblog if you save or use!

[catboyaventurine]

huh aventurine introjects are more common than i thought..

Fellow Aventurines !!

gather here, i wish to collect you all as moots

(but ofc those who are uncomfy with "doubles" feel free to do whats best for you)

[chaos-in-one]

I see syscourse is once again a burning trash fire

Anyways a few notes

A. Fuck AI art. Until it's actually getting permission from all artists it builds it's images from, it is blatant theft, and should not be used- especially publicly where the AI 'art' can end up getting attention, which actively takes that attention away from artists because people can only pay attention to so much.

B. Can we. Not spread ableism towards other disorders in syscourse & the system + plural communities. Thanks.

C. There's nothing wrong with people having fun or doing fun things in relation to their systemhood or plurality.

And last, but certainly not least

I love you created systems & willogenics <3

"i know they're faking DID/OSDD because their alters are cringe!!!!" This may come as a shock to you, but sometimes, people's coping mechanisms, are cringe.

so when their brain introjects or creates someone, it's also cringe.

[oceanwaves-mp3]

for the tiktok trend :)

this was just for some lip syncing practice which i know i failed at for this but!! i don't think i did horrible either

[introjectheavy-cultureis]

Introject-heavy culture is staying closeted in many spaces because you think singlets could never handle an all-introject system.

We have no idea how we're supposed to come out to uninformed singlets (especially without proxy bots and anyone else outsys who can explain plurality 101) because everyone in our sys are easily clockable as a fictive /factive by name alone and we can't + won't use pseudonyms

Do you guys ever think about how Geminitay spent the entirety of her X-Life series on one heart up until the finale? Do you ever think about how she narrowly avoided a second death because somebody wrote to kill her in their will, and the only reason she survived was because she died in the church where the funeral was happening when it got blown up? Do you ever think about how she made sure her buildings and animals were safe before burying herself alive? Do you ever think about how her ending words were "I will live out the rest of my days down here in the graveyard with all of my friends surrounding me" as all her friends met their final deaths and she lived on? Do you ever think about how her empires s2 lore implies that she sat there for god knows how long before getting back up and living again, only to continuously run into people that resemble her friends?

I mean I'm normal I don't ever think about any of that whaaaaaaat

[our-inspire-verse]

Oh yeah i like Umbrella Academy!

Five Hargreeves in the front like:

"Who's your favorite character?" (There's a right answer)

[binary-sys]

not cis not trans but a secret third thing (introject that identifies with my source gender which doesn't match the body)
