If your "Introject friendly" space isn't friendly to introjects of people you don't like your space is not inroject friendly and you need ti rebrand it

If your "Introject friendly" space allows for people to negatively talk about introjects they don't like even if they aren't present in conversation your space is not introject friendly and you need to rebrand it

If your "Introject friendly" space has limits to what kind of introject you can be your space isn't inroject friendly and you need to rebrand it

If your "Introject friendly" space bans introjects for their sources your space is not introject friendly and you need to rebrand it

If your "Introject friendly" space is inaccessible to factives your space is not introject friendly and you need to rebrand it

Factives exist and we are introjects too

tired of updating the pinned sorry y'all

[the-protostar-system]

�

we keep discovering new alters and we don't have the time to update the pinned every time so it's probably outdated

if we tag smth with a tag that isn't on this post ignore that tag. that tag is not an alter (it's for filtering our own posts)

there are like 30+ of us but probably more

[the-protostar-system]

earlier alter discoveries were like you immediately know everything about them but now after days of discussion between several alters we're like "yeah that's a bird maybe"

[the-protostar-system]

once i asked person we know irl how many alters are they aware of and she said 7 💀 at the time we were at TWENTY (there's even more of us now lmao)

[the-protostar-system]

Sometimes being blurry is like “i have no idea who i am” and sometimes its like “i’m x but with a bit of y going on and also kind of z” and sometimes its “i’m x but not lol”

I Am Me! : A Post about Source Separation

This post is for those who originated from a source (maybe if more) or have a sense of belonging to one. The intention of this post is not to say that sticking to your source is bad, but more on how others can benefit from growing out of it.

I have a fictive here in the system, she really likes seeing people's fanart of said character and find joy in it,, although being too focused to this source made her feel that she should be acting like the character perfectly.. and that started to create a negative impact in self expression and preferences because of being too dependent and the belief of really being one due to having source memories, even if she knew that some traits or favorites doesn't align to her. You do not want this as it impedes growth and self exploration since you're solely focusing on one point of image.

So, what to do about it? You ask. It's not like i can make myself again from scratch, you added. I get it, which is why im proposing you to think of your source like a base,, a frost-less, topping-less cake base. Your source would be the cake’s shape and it’s original flavor,, and your own traits or preferences as the frosting and the things you put on that good damned cake. Firstly you should be aware that you are your own person despite coming from a source (and will add something about it) before we continue to the steps,, i hope you got that one settled so lets go to the exploration & decoration cake factory!

Choices, choices.. what fits my cake?: Arriving to the factory, you see theres a lot of frosting styles you can pick, but not sure on which? Then i suggest you to go explore things outside your source,, do you like plants, marine animals, artistic expressions—try all sorts of options just like how you scroll endlessly to find that “perfect” looking frost you love.

Mixing things up!: If you like some certain features from your source and feel inspired to keep it, you may,, and add a unique touch of your own tweaking! If the original flavor of the source was strawberry, maybe you can make a different variation of what you'd like.. for example, cream cheese strawberry flavor. It will probably taste good too, and not tied to just your own origins,, which is the goal. In short, this is the time where you expand with your own preferences and expressions that grows outwards from that single dot (source).

Stepping back,, why's this flavor chosen?: Can we talk about why and what in the mid of this cake making process?--Could you give yourself a moment to think,, why do you feel a connection to this flavor, what does it mean to you to have this? Do you think it is because it has some strengths and qualities it has and you needed it in your life? Do you find solace in this one particular thing when life has been a messy chocolate fudge for you? I'm trying to ask that why did you came from that source,, and how it makes you realize that you are truly not the character itself yet the reason of being one. Our fictive was formed because no one here does better than her when it comes to keeping a calm demeanor in stressful moments,, the history of this said character is canonically mentioned that it went through rigorous amount of "troubles" and managed to keep calm under pressure, in this case the brain sees it as befitting for our situation.

Enjoying the slice of cake: After taking the base with its designated flavor, adding your own touch to this cake and presented with it's appealing look,, you have finally made a cake truly of your own creation! In the context of finally taking a bite and smother yourself in the sweets, this is the end-stage of finally accepting of who you are outside the source, and actively cultivating while also being proud of every bits of your true self. There is no more shame and pressure of needing to act a certain way, and the most important part is embracing this new way of perceiving yourself.

Last words

Some people might expect you to create a cake that similarly resembles to the OG you're from and get confused when the flavor.. and the toppings.. are rather off when presented--may this be the perfect time to let others know that you are your own person, and that they shouldn't base you off from that dot. feel free to use this cake analogy when it comes to explaining this situation or maybe add more points/views for this post to create a more nuanced approach and view for others reading this, keep caking it guys,, i would love to know how yours will look like!

Mentions for credit: Big thanks to another system that contributed it's fictive experience and a certain someone that brought it's own post and acts as a reference for this topic, as well as a buddy that helped to proofread my contents! I wouldn't pulled it off if its not for you guys.
