(Honestly though, I don't think you can sue someone for having a name based on a fictional character nor for seeking to emulate the characteristics of one, so I think they're safe)

Not part of a system myself, but as someone who finds fiction an essential part of managing my own mental health, fictives make a lot of sense to me. Of course the brain is going to draw on something familiar, and especially something comforting. Fiction can be a really powerful, positive, healing force, and making those characters that really touch you literally a part of yourself is kind of a beautiful thing.

I also have a theory that it’s just the brain being… really lazy lmao As soon as my brain discovered that making a fictive was a thing it could do, it hasn’t made a non-fictive since. It’s probably way easier for the brain to take all of an alter’s traits from once source rather than cobbling together a whole new individual. One of the reasons I think this is because we’ve had fictives form from sources that we weren’t even using as a comfort. For example, we watched a Christmas movie with our family LITERALLY ONCE and got a fictive from it.
@Quizzicalsystem2 ай бұрын
It also doesn't have to be a comfort character. We have an alter who was never really a big "comfort character" but was part of a comfort series. He wasn't a favorite, or even one of the really "liked" characters. We never hated him, just.... neutral. His personality, and life experiences at that point was what our brain latched onto, as it could help in that situation. It could just be a random character that you know exists, is suddenly in your brain.

One of our best friends (also a system) is writing a book with these 7 characters that are referred to as ‘projects’ we already have 3 of em in our brain (project-G0D project-5ATAN and project-PO2EIDON) altho the only one that actually goes by his project name for us is PO2EIDON who I’m suspecting showed up as a way for our brain to mitigate the insane amount of ED holders we have (including me as host) he seems to update with source as well (I’m scared for him when chapter 3 comes out) Yewall (project-G0D) is a case of our Daniel (project-5ATAN) getting told by the project-H4DES in our friends’ system to hyperfixate on his brother so much he’ll show up in the brain… fyi the age at the start of canon for them is 14 (with Daniel being 12) and it ends with them at 21 (Daniel being 19) And yes the projects do have powers and are immortal but they start off as regular humans, Daniel actually has severe source trauma regarding his powers (anything he touches gets destroyed, he subconsciously adds a crumbling to dust and charcoal effect to it and it especially acts up when he gets emotional) while Yewall has powers of creation, it can take a physical toll on him so he always has food and extra bandages on him, but those two cancel each other out when they’re touching, even through clothing (there’s also H4DES being immune for some reason? Smth smth necromancy? No one has rlly figured that one out) But Daniel basically has most of his source memories while very much being 12, since his brother spawned in he has been a lot calmer btw, less panic attacks Bcs he accidentally destroyed smth or Bcs he is terrified of touching people and them crumbling to ashes. Altho hearing him go “YEWAAALLLLLLLL” at every lil thing is smth for sure (me and Daniel have both been front stuck for a lil while now, I don’t necessarily mind being front stuck as long as I don’t get main front stuck, I wanna be able to just step back and have a moment if I need it ya know? Currently main front stuck which is making me go aaaaaaaaaaaa)

I think the phrasing of it being a "blueprint" is really accurate and helpful for explaining it. The fictive in my system gets *so* many questions about why he's nothing like his source, especially considering that, like you touched on, he's a villain. And it's like, that's just a blueprint, he only took so many useful elements from the character, discarded the rest, and then changed as a person over the next decade of real time, too. That's all very standard, and imo it's very silly to assume that after all that he'd be anything like his source. I mean, it's possible, and it happens, but geez. Let people be people.

what i find super interesting about introjects in general is that as media has become more common and accessible, the more systems we see with them. systems like Jeni Haynes, who did not have as much, if any, access to media doesn’t have any introjects(at least none that i’ve heard her speak of). but i on the other hand, having a star wars nerd of a father, have a lot of introjects from various medias i watched as a child. i truly wonder how future systems may function with the amount of media that is available at the touch of a button nowadays, like if a so called ipad kid was a system, how much of their system would be introjects?

I’m glad I’m not in the middle of a denial spiral, because getting told that “if we aren’t shameful of our system” and “if we get upset by people fakeclaiming us” then we’re clearly faking (Not??? True??? This was an actual bit from a “real research paper” on 10 Afab systems “that were definitely not real, just take our word on it source: trust me bro”) would…. Probably cause us to split like fuckin crazy. Yikes. Advice for new systems and old systems alike: don’t join discords. Just trust your own experience and do what helps you, as long as it’s safe.

I sort of assimilate fictional characters into my current sense of self, or I more accurately temporarily take on and off their personalities like outfits because I as a person don't actually exist. One of my oldest 'personas' (as I think being a persona protagonist is the best way I could describe my feelings) is Light Yagami. But that doesn't mean I agree with Light. I think it would be pretty ridiculous to act like someone is a bad person because there are some unsavoury aspects to the characters their fictives are based on.

A lot of people still get rather uncomfortable when I tell them my name, cause this series had my source do some horrendous things. When I first formed I was frightening to the others, as well as a few (at the time) friends. Our partners understand this though, and they try to not bring it up too often.

Also, interesting to know that it’s basically just a more extreme version of how, when I’m in stressful situations that I struggle to deal with, I just mimic characters that I, almost unconsciously, feel would be good at dealing with that situation? Like, for example, if I’m in a situation where I’m being shouted at I’m internally kinda like “okay, Simon Eriksson (from Young Royals) is decent at dealing with that, so I’m just gonna act exactly how he would, and then I’ll be fine”.

One of my fictives was created at a time when I WAS roleplaying that particular character every day for hours. He has conflicting false memories. He remembers things in the original source, and he remembers things from those role plays, and with us not knowing what DID was and thinking “I’m just roleplaying too much and getting too lost in it.” His forming was murky and full of false memories. He cries over people from his source he knows don’t exist and he will never see again. Another Alter has a lot of dysmorphia about their source body and feels unable to actually change it in the inner world, which is a more concentrated version of a stress they experienced in the source, made concentrated by my own brain struggling to connect a sense of self.

Hey Blitz! I know I am horrifically late, but I just wanted to thank you for this video. In my own system, there’s a few fictives, though it’s been a long time since they split and they have changed a lot. We have Ed, a fictive of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, and Ifan, a fictive of Ianto Jones from the show Torchwood. Interestingly, those are the only two real fictives, but we have a couple others who share heavy traits with characters and yet do not see themselves as fictives. As a kid, when we split new alters, they were often very one-dimensional and not very distinct. Over time, as they evolved, they started developing into more complex beings and forming personalities/traits/actual identities, often pulling from their environment. These environments often included real people, or, you guessed it, fictional media. The result is a few alters knocking around upstairs with traits or appearances similar to fictional characters, but who are not actually fictives. Just thought that was an interesting bit I’d share because they’re very fictive-adjacent

Thanks bliz, appreciate you.💚 Edit: I have a fictive of Dean Winchester who does have a lot of false memories. He hasn’t been out since we were like twelve. Maybe a little at thirteen. He was out the most between the ages of eight and twelve. He was created because we needed someone who could help us defend ourselves effectively. Someone with thick skin who felt strong enough to handle anything. The humor he brought us definitely helped too. He’s one of the reasons I survived what I did. I and we, I have some memories of shit, others in my system have a lot more. Once our environment changed from having to avoid physical threat to having to be a full time caretaker he kinda retreated into the headspace. He didn’t want anything to do with the emotional support required of us to care for and keep our primary abuser alive and mentally well. He hated them because he came out for a lot of the bad parts. He always saw himself in the third person which I can’t really relate to personally because as the host. Usually I see the world as foggy or though a tunnel until I grey out or blackout and then I’m just kinda gone for a while unless I actively choose to go back into the headspace with the intention of doing so but I’m only allowed so far from the front. He thought he was sent back in time to protect a kid for some kinda quest. Ig. Idk it made sense to him. It was very hard to explain to him that’s not what happened. He got very upset. I love him though. He was so into his version of reality that this one felt like a prison. I’m trying to work on figuring out how to comfort him because that’s my job. He lives in a place where he has alters or idk something. There are other characters from the show in the “room” he’s in but it’s more like a portal into a different place that’s entirely based on the show. I can’t interact with any of it though and I can only interact w him if I ask for him and he happens to come out, which is rare. Idk what the other characters are about tho. He just kinda talks to them but I’ve never heard them talk back. Given though I’m not in his room. I’m usually not even close. We tried to explain to him that we were part of a system but he did not take that well. It really freaked him out. I felt him co con for the first time in a very long time in this video and I kinda feel this tears of joy kinda energy that Ik wasn’t mine (host). I think this really helped him feel less alone. I feel bad that we made him this way. Ik I or we had no control over it but he’s suffered a lot with loneliness because he has a whole life that he desperately wants to get back to but it doesn’t actually exist. He’s gonna have to take his time coming to that conclusion tho, I’m not gonna rush him. He’s the only fictive I have of the alters I’m aware of. I believe I have quite a few more though, I’m just not allowed to meet them yet if ever.

How the frick did I end up with a alter of him? I also have a fictive of Conner Kent/Superboy and my favorite DC character is Arthur Curry/Aquaman. In fact I didn't even know who Superboy was at the time that alter formed, I saw him on a comic book cover ONCE and some how formed an alter from that. I'd put Clark/Superman, Batman, Aquaman, the Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman all above Superboy but some how he's the one who became an alter in my system. The only fictive I would actually call my favorite character is Ma-ti from Captain Planet. We use to have the ring for him too but our 2nd grade teacher took it cause it kept making noise in my back pack, she stuck it in a desk drawer, and we never saw it again. Did not even realize we had DID back them but dissociating would explain things like being on the swing set and suddenly realizing I was the only one still outside cause I didn't notice recess had ended. It was like there were a lot of kids around playing and then suddenly I'm alone. I didn't see anyone go inside, I didn't hear the bell ring. They just freakin' disappeared. There were also several times when I missed my bus stop going home cause I dissociated and just didn't notice. I ended up taking the bus all the way back to the bus yard after the driver finished the route once before I realized I had missed my stop. I may have also just fallen asleep on the bus a few times but there is a difference between leaning on the window cause I'm asleep and already being up right fully awake and suddenly realize oh wait where the heck am I?

never heard anyone else have alters take up the appearance of a fictional character before, that happens to us alot so it was cool to hear! we have one guy who started out as an introject of a minecraft youtuber from us watching hermitcraft a bunch, went dormant for 5 solid years and apon returning imediatly changed into lemres from puyo puyo, like not voluntarily, we were so confused for awile because we had never read of something of this nature before. -(its hard to tell but mandy, schezo and cheery are closest to the front i believe)

I will state upfront that as far as I am aware I am not part of a system, but I never understood why people are so Weird about ficitives like "oOoOoOo a brain using fiction to help deal with and understand the world how weird and off putting and possibly fake (sarcasm)" Obviously an introject is different from a single identity brain using fiction as a mental framework but also like this isnt some novel concept the Kids These Days have Just Now Come Up With, brains use fiction as a point of reference all the time.

I used to know a system, we lost contact years ago by now but I still rememmber them fondly. They had a BUNCH of Danganronpa fictives, like, to the point some of them changed their names for no other reason than "there's like 4 versions of my source in here." and at first, just like with alters in geenral, i thought it was odd, strange, but as we talked and intracted, I grew to really like these guys. I remember they had an alter who would age slide sometimes and whenever he did and I was around. I used to give him headpats because he really liked them and it was honestly just very sweet. and as if it wasn't aparent by the ronpa fictives at large. I don't treat ilain fictives as their source, or think of them as evil, I mean, in that system there was a Monokuma alter and we just had a normal talk whenever he popped up, well, a normal talk plus an exchange of bear puns. I was a teenager okay? I had to. plus, he enjoyed it too. I'm happy you felt confident enough to share your knowledge and experieces, and thank you all for that and on the off-chance my system friend sees this, I miss you guys, and I hope you're doing well.

All my fictives are Doctor Who ones! As a writer, its surreal to know how it feels to be a fictional character. I'm finding that although its not obvious as to why at first, their creation does make sense when I think about it. I discovered that I have headmates in April this year and although its hard, I feel a lot more complete. Things make sense. :)

@TheEntropySystem2 ай бұрын
I’d personally still call that a fictive, but I wouldn’t say that’s the definitive “correct way”. Fictive and factive aren’t clinical terms, they’re made up by the community to describe a common alter experience. A system can call an OC introject whatever they like, honestly. -Wyn

We've seen OCtives. We've also seen them just referred to as fictives or fictional introjects. When it comes to language and the words to use, it's up to the individuals. Just like with labeling your gender or other parts of your identity, whatever word you choose to label yourself within the system is a personal choice. Our host is an "OCtive," but he really struggles with the idea of 1) not being the original and 2) being a fictional introject that he avoids both of those all together and just calls himself our main host and/or a core member and/or the closest thing to an original that we have. We don't force him to call himself something that would otherwise make him uncomfortable.

If they split a fictive, they would have split an alter whether you introduced them to the media or not.

Having a hard time tackling the source connection thing. Cause not gonna lie I’d rather just not worry about it and get wrapped on wether my fictives are “sourcey” or not “not sourcey”. And it’s just kinda stressful and I don’t wanna give my guys an existential crisis over this. A lot of them have pseudo/exo memories that feel real to them. I’ve gone through getting mad at them for thinking that it’s real to basically comforting them because it’s real to them. And I’m not sure how to go about this. A lot of them see themselves as the character but they were isekai’d into the system. And there’s been some adjusting because of that but they usually mellow out and either chill in the headspace or come out when I need them. They still see themselves as the character and see the source material as a “weird thing that exists in this reality.” And they’re pretty good seeing the source material as media but like one that’s a kind that they’ve been through 😅. I don’t know how to go about it. I usually don’t care unless if it’s causing huge issues. I’m wondering if my OCD is going into overdrive for wanting to fix my fictives

I don't know if this is the right place to request this, but could you please review this new K-drama called "Dear Hyeri"?? It's a romance drama whose main character is a woman with DID, and I'd love to see your thoughts on it! I haven't watched it yet, but it seems to discuss trauma, inner worlds, fusion, flashbacks, dissociation, even introjects and stuff like that, and it honestly looks like it handles the subject pretty respectfully! I'm Korean and I'm just pleasantly surprised to see DID representation in Korean media as the trauma based disorder it is and not the "fictional horror movie content" people assume it to be. tysm I love your content❤ (Useless fun fact! The Korean title of this drama is "나의 해리에게", (Dear Haeri) but the English title was translated into the meaning of "나의 혜리에게”. (Dear Hyeri) 해리 and 혜리 have almost the same pronunciation(Haeri & Hyeri), but the former one is dissociation in korean, and the latter is the name of an alter of the mc. IT'S A PUN I LOVE PUNS)

It's so weird how people don't get this, like...singlets will take on the qualities of their friends: mannerisms, thought and speech patterns, interests, dislikes, and think nothing of how comforting that can feel.

Or it shows us how there's nothing wrong with admiring and being uplifted by a "fictional" character. Sometimes we need to become like our heroes, and what's wrong with that? 🤔

Dess (a fictive of December Holiday from deltarune) is in a relationship, while Cinnabar (Land of the lustrous fictive) is learning to open up to people a bit (and drink lemonade) They’re all based off fictional characters but they are all so much more they are our friends and family.

When Picard tells him that criminal enterprises are frowned upon in the 23rd century just as much as in the 19th, he basically says "don't worry captain, my past is but the fantastical writings in a book upon the shelf and there I shall leave it" or something like that, because he was, of course, a conscious being created from the holodeck character of James Moriarty, but now he is a living person, he wants to distance himself from the fictional character he's based on.
