The ever on going question... like oh a new alter?
Are they
A) a new split
B) an old alter I never noticed
C) and old alter back from dormancy
D) idfk but something else???
do we have a low split tolerance or are we just discovering members who have been here for a while ??

I find it kinda funny when people with BPD who are dating their FP are going about their day, and their FP gets worried about cheating... sweetie... you pretty much own our souls... we're not cheating... we most likely don't even have many friends outside of you, cause guess what? You are like 60% or more of we think about whether we like it or not. You could stab us, and we'd apologize to you. It sucks sometimes, but trust me; you never have to worry about us cheating. (At least in my case)

Somehow, I know exactly what you mean but also have no words as to what that means/how to express it... into the box!

If I tell you I’m a fictive and tell you my source, that’s not your sign to go ahead and start telling me how much you want to fuck my source.
You’re weird as shit.

THIS. OMFG THIS!!!
‘But that’s not accurate to [source]’
Well yes, I am a fictive but in case you failed to realise, my source character doesn’t actually exist.

🌸: probably Echo (IDK who it's by but iykyk)
🍃: Whisp. They're a statue sooooo... yeah
🌷: does an alter who's entire job is to front while the system smokes count?
🍏: probably the long drawn out conversations with ourself about everything.
🪷: idk but my guess is Jentry from Jentry Chau vs The Underworld
🍀: (we had just split a second fictive of the same source) "Mother fucker I AM YOU!" (they weren't entirely serious with it)
💞: not including littles... Cyanide. Last time she babysat the kid later quoted "when did this become a whore house" and yeah... Cy taught her that one.
🍬: yes, a few. While I don't think any are especially "important" I think our weirdest combo (fictive wise) is probably the Alastor/Jax multi source fictive, with... Azrael.
🌱: not doing everyone (cause there's 40ish of us as of right now) but for the pun Odysseus is a Monster Energy
🌺: the first that comes to mind are these pink and black flame heart glasses, they belong to Aphrodite (the last time someone else put them on she fronted SOLY to put them back down and then left again)
🍡: Philo but people wouldn't like him at first (he's very cold an calculated but he'd do a good job over all)
🧩: SO DAMN MANY (we have a Tiger but also... a statue... and a goddess... that's just off the top of my head)
💗: Aphrodite and Valentine do not like each other... except when it comes to Chappell Roan. When she is on they both front but they mostly just angrily stare at each other then as soon as the music is off one of them leaves (it's all in good fun at the end of the day... I think)
🌿: taking off our finger accessories (they make us feel like our hands are extra small and so littles get really euphoric over it)
🎀: Quincy.
🥝: Dustie (specifically when he's on a high bc he holds our BPD spilts)
💓: with out a doubt Valentine (not even Aphrodite will argue on that one)

sometimes being a fictive and talking about your source feels like holding a piece of paper with the singletsona/another alters picture on it pretending youre not Blorbo himself

This is so true like holy shit
remember that systems do not choose who they split!
having alters from problematic sources is okay! it's no one's fault; yours or theirs. do not shame alters for having problematic sources, whether it's insys or outsys. they have feelings, too — and deserve to be treated as any other alter.
i hope this helped someone out there; do not feel ashamed, it was not your choice. ♡

LITERALLY ALL THE TIME 🤣🤣🤣 (now I want a sitcom that's just the headspace of a system)
i think the internal happenings between headmates of nearly any plural system would make a good sitcom. i mean, i think we've all had that experience where someone says/does the dumbest shit and an alter does that Look At The Camera thing out of the office.
