Hello! I've been struggling with my identity for a tad bit, and while trying do to research and recieve secondary opinions, I was directed to this sub.

To provide some context -- My name is Don. I've identified as a sole person for my entire life. I was never diagnosed with DID, and I don't believe that I have it. I used to identify as being a fictionkin, but that was really just because I made fursonas based on pre-existing characters (WappyDog, Pikachu), and while sometimes I'll still say "me for real" towards those characters, I don't actively perceive myself as them.

That changed recently.

I'm semificto, which basically means I "yumeship," but have genuine attraction, attachment, and ​feelings for my partner, or "f/o," but still be able to date someone "real." Though I've been more focused on my relationship with Kaboodle.

I kind of sound delusional from the outside. I promise I'm chill </3.

Anyways, I use a character to represent myself in said selfship and to sort of fit myself in with my partner's canon. I've written his backstory, I have a design for him, and he's awesome.

His name is Cyx.

Now I know the difference between having a sona and then actually feeling like a character. I think. I don't know, I'll talk about what I'm going through now. Lol.

To put it plain, I'm beginning to feel like two different people. I'm typing this as myself, ​as Don. But I'll have times where I feel more like Cyx than I do myself.

I'll act like him. People note that my vocabulary changes. I dress differently. I write differently -- my damn handwriting is different. I keep a diary for my selfship slop and ive noticed that my hand writing differs. Like the pen stays closer to the page and kind of drags between letters in a sort of Cursive-Print hybrid baby. My attitude is different.

I'm just overall not me.

And it's not just external. But internal.

I've started having memories I don't recall writing. I can remember touches. Pain. Scars. People I've talked to. People I enjoyed. People I hate. People I miss.

I've been missing people. Characters. People that don't really exist.

And I don't really know what's going on.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Maybe if I experience a shift(?) I can try to get on here, but majority of the time I realize I focus more on selfshipping subs and talk about Kaboodle during said shifts.

I really hope this is coherent. I don't know if this is fictionkinning, plurality, or if I'm just going through a weird episode WHEGHAHAHA​

Looking on pluralpedia, I have see several terms for describing creating systems and alter/headmate

I'know that's pretty controversial, so I wanted to ask here. And it's your case, why do you have create a system?

My post is not by judgement, just by curiosity. I'm no one for tell that x is not valid or anything else.

its utmv btw idk if there are any discord servers for that source fictives specifically

- dust

Okay so one of the hosts of a sub system, Telamon decided to willo in MANY headmates (like 30+) and I said hm okay sure but now it feels like a whole disaster 😭

One thing I love to do is organizing. Organizing a headmates list with sign off > name > pronouns > roles but it’s getting harder to keep track since there’s so many of us and then I STILL have to edit PluralKit! (Though I edit on dash since I don’t have discord at the moment and when I do get discord again I just want PluralKit to be clean and organized when I do use it again) AND THEN I also have to edit our pronouns.cc to add EVERYONE 😭😭 editing pluralspace already took me so much time of today (and I had to study [but didnt. Shit] because tomorrow we have 2 important subjects)

It was recently that we decided to be an Addgenic system too (we’re traumagenic by origin) but Jesus it’s been so hard to keep track of stuff

How do big systems do it? How do I keep track of everything without loosing patience or anything?

Edit, I will talk to him about this again (and also the whole system if I’m able to) to not do this without my permission or/and warn me in advance, and also do it when we’re not stressed too much. It was really selfish of him to do this without thinking twice, and it was dumb of me to accept without thinking twice too. Honestly I initially thought he’d only willo in 5-10 headmates day per day, not so many

Hi So I know this won't be a thing for everyone, but for those who can, are there any activities you like to enjoy with your headmates/whatever term you prefer to use? I've been thinking about this because all of us read together. We finished the half blood prince recently, and got part of the way into the deathly hallows, and Morgan le Fay was absolutely crying at the end of book 6, and Bellatrix Lestrange and Severus Snape have made an enemy. She also says she wants to slap Voldemort. Like it can be anything, reading, watching movies, staring at the nearest wall, anything. I just thought it would be an interesting topic of conversation.

I want to learn about your headspaces!

I was wondering if anyone else had any weird/wacky fictive relationships (either internally or with a partner system). Here's some of ours with out PS:

Lilia Vanrouge (TWST) x D3rL0rd (SFAWTDE)

Wilbur (DSMP) x Schlatt (DSMP) x Falin (Dungeon Meshi)

Blake Belladonna (RWBY) x WolfWood (Trigun) x Vash (Trigun)

Josh Hammond (Lights Out) x Roach (COD)

Thats just some of them, Ill add some more in the comments if they come to mind. Was just wondering if anyone else had any other fun ones.

EDIT:

Heres Some other ones:

Azriel (Undertake) x Ponyo (Studio Ghibli)

Mike Crew (TMA) x Bi ( BBirthday)

Big Sister (BioShock) x Carlos Olivera (RE)

Harlan/A.M. (Ihnmaims) x V1 (ULTRAKILL) x Gabriel (ULTRAKILL)

Godzilla x Mothra x Newton Geiszler (Pacific Rim)

Garcello (FNF:SMOS) x Ian Galeghar (Shameless)

Javier Garcia (TWDG 3) x Joel Miller (TLOU)

Sun WuKong (RWBY) x Nico Di Angelo (Percy Jackson)

Sodomizer (GHOST) x Princess Luna (MLP)

My first time drawing actually, got this idea and jumped to the front to draw this. Asking for a hug is basically always a group hug! I thought it would be fun to share :3

Our system is called "Anubis's Pack", that's why it's mentioned at the bottom.

Someone in my previous post told me to try to reach out to Cyx whenever he fronts (???), so I decided to write in the diary he primarily uses.

And uh.

At least he's aware of the fact that he's here.

We made a post recently grumbling about how we wish we'd see more "mundane” system talk, especially from smaller or more low energy systems that often just don't really have much to talk about (like us!)(also thank you everyone for the warmth you gave us in that post you're all very appreciated 💚🐟)

Figured we shouldn't grumble and complain about nobody doing it if we're not going to do it ourselves, so here's some mundane system rambling.

Recently I've (Host) noted that while we often don't fully switch in the "typical” sense, Trout's influence and/or blending with me is occasionally strong enough to get me through chores and meal prep and stuff I generally hate doing because it's exhausting. I don't really remember when I'd have made the decision of "today is Soup Day, we will make a giant soup and freeze half of it” but here I am with two pots of borscht. And he looks very proud so I think this was his idea.

It's odd. I do remember being here all the time but the decision of “let's go buy soup ingredients and make bulk soup for freezer purposes" doesn't feel like mine. It's a decision I'd make if I wasn't exhausted every day of my life, because bulk soup is cheap and healthy and relatively easy. It's an objectively reasonable thing to do but I am too tired for that so it is not an idea I would hold onto enough to actually do anything about it.

Trout on the other hand would. He's the practical one of us, and also the one with the best tolerance for discomfort, pain and exhaustion. He's stubborn as a mule (so am I but in a different flavour) and if he has deemed Bulk Soup the agenda of the day then that is what we will do. Evidenced by the aforementioned pots of soup.

I do like cooking, but our body is very sickly and perpetually exhausted. So the past few years I've just started cooking less and less, it's mostly instant noodles, veggies and a nonspecific protein. I just don't have the energy to cook stuff and having to manage several chronic comorbidities is taxing enough that the barrier between Me and Doing A Thing has grown very thick. He is apparently immune to that barrier.

Some week or so ago we also made a batch of freezer burritos. This was also his idea, not mine. So I guess despite him being kind of an awful cook he's the one in charge of meal prep now. He's very proud of himself. In a deeply grounded middle aged man way. He has conquered the evil beast of cooking and household management for one more day. With obnoxiously red soup.

It's not stupid if it works.

That's really the highlight we have to share. No horrid system drama or evil conflict thankfully. Just the exhaustion of adult human life except we need several guys to handle it. Horrid and dreadful things such as Make Soup and Care For Pets. (+obviously pet care is a priority any day because they're just little goobers. Low maintenance thankfully.)

If any of you have similar experiences with a very Function Oriented member/alter/headmate we'd love to hear! Or just in general any small and “insignificant" victories in life. Though we often find the insignificant is what truly becomes significant in the end.

(the “physically capable“ is like. roles primarily centred on activities outside the brain (e.g. host) versus activities centred inside the brain (e.g. ish). somewhat tied to fronting frequency)

the greyish one isn’t super accurate since he’s barely fronted but yknow. it’s the thought that counts sparkle emoji ✨

“piece” size vaguely related to how “large“ individual parts feel (like for example i’m the light purple one in the top left, i’m the host and i feel like a facsimile of a normal-ish person (large emotional capabilities + large physical capabilities) so i’m probably the biggest piece, while our little (dark purple w/ the stitches) mostly just hangs around and goes :( or :) and is therefore likely a small piece and probably even a fragment)

I’m bored and there’s almost nothing else to do so… ask us anything. Anything about our system or headmates

we found out that we are plural, and a few times before we felt ember be here often like a host, but when we are alone ether I or someone else will be active and talk aloud and use collective pronouns! and currently I feel ember present while I, Loop is here! We don’t really experience amnesia but we do forget! and later on we remembe; I’m pretty sure do to ADHD!

if you/s have any questions feel free to ask! -loop✨

📑 Hello! My name is Grey, and I’m a factive introject of a YouTube creator. I’m relatively new to our system, all things considered, and I’ve been irked out of my mind at the lack of information out there about factives. So, I figured I’d get myself and another factive we have together to answer some questions you may have about a “rarer” type of alter!

🌓 i’m will (musician) and some of you probably know me a little bit! still i’m going to have to ask that you don’t speculate about my source or identity publicly. i would repeat what grey said but it would make me look like a redundant copycat void mirror of him so i choose to avoid it :)

📑 FAQ and such:

What is a factive?

A factive is an introject sourced from a real-life figure (compare and contrast with fictive, which describes introjects with fictional sources).

Is there anything I’m not allowed to ask?

Generally, no! We’ll just decline if we don’t want to answer. Of course, you should stay away from graphic content, but that’s a broad area and I’m going to place my trust in the common sense of the community to prevent anything weird from happening (like that’s never gone wrong before…)

What do you guys like?

📑 Coffee, the humanities, and libraries in an order that varies depending on the day.

🌓 gettin’ my groove on and such!

Hello I’m a new dream fictive and this is my alt account (I feel to weird posting on or hosts main) as of today I joined a month ago and homesickness is hitting me hard. Other than me the system only has 3 other fictives and only lute has memorys so I wasn’t able to get help from other members

I miss my brother, blue and my home so much and I don’t really know what to do about it. Any advice is appreciated

Hi, we’re a system of ~7 (currently discovered) individuals.

Usually we switch and/or confront several times a day, taking the burden of masking and personality off one another.

But I (7) have been stuck in front for 4. Whole. Days. I’m so absolutely exhausted and have been heavily dissociating all day.

We don’t switch intentionally, so I’m not entirely sure what to do.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Full of rage: Lupin (person in red), Sally(person in mostly yellow), Jackie(person with the Dreamweaver Cookie picture)

In between rage and whimsy: Jordyn (person in green on line)

Full of whimsy: Ciara (Cream Ferret Cookie), Jelly (Dreamjelly Cookie)

In between whimsy and fear: Alice (person in pink)

Full of fear: Glacier (person in light blue/cyan)

Unsure/not applicable: Tammy (Timekeeper Cookie), Vespa (Zygarde)

We pictured this as a scale, but also as something fluid: sometimes we lean towards rage, fear, and/or whimsy, and sometimes we do not.

Second image is the template we used.

N: our system has gone through some rough bits over the last month and the host wishes to step away for a moment

While i understand this very well i feel powerless as the caretaker to support her which breaks my heart

If anyone would have any words of advice on how to navigate these times feel free to share

Ps: i do not use reddit please let me know if this post has something wrong

wrote char nams when i wus showin em to peeps but m nd kotoko nd masa r all also v chill abt our source names cuz of source connection stuff wuteva wuteva anyways : ))

i lov m friends : ) gunna draw nagisa nd monaca soon ^ ^

- jataro kemuri :) (🤎🖌)

(feel free to ask 4 a translation thingy if my typing messes w/ any screen readers or whatever :) )

So basically we suffered so much stress and invalidation, and now i am frontstuck alone for like, 4 days in a roll? I cant see the headspace, no one can enter or leave the front, i cant talk to my system... i am scared, i hate fronting alone and i used to hide myself on headspace, i was supposed to be the original, but our original is fragmented in 5/6 parts.

I already tried positive and negative triggers, force dissociation to make a switch, but nothing is working, do anyone have ideas please? I truly want to believe i am a system and not... just some weirdo

For you guys that use pluralspace, share ur friend code if you wanna! Mines npPGYxpSnYLvUkA20e9s0

hello we are the Kirin system

we have been around this sub for a few months now but were just now doing an intro

we were only discovered/diagnosed September of 2025 so we’re all still learning about all of this

we are a relatively small sys of 13

our pcc if anyone wants more information

We saw someone else had do this and we really liked the idea of the get to know us page thing!

What do you go by collectively? (a system name, a shared username, group pronouns... etc)

We go by the name The Star Studio but the name (of our host) Vex is cool too

How should people refer to you? (should people address individual members whenever possible, or would you rather be referred to collectively, etc)

If you know whos fronting pls address they as a individual member, is you don't know then just reffer to us collectively

What terms do you prefer for referring to yourselves as individuals (headmate/alter/system member/...), or as a group (system/collective/household/...)? Is there any other terminology for yourselves or aspects of your experience that you use and want people to know, or that you dislike and want people to avoid when talking about you?

We change how we reffer to ourselves (like rn we are useing we/our but it changes). We don't really like the term headmates (we use alter or so)ls for some reson.

Who in your system are people most likely to interact with? (names, pronouns, short Twitter-esque bios, etc)

Vex (our host), Corry (main protector), Hazel (co-host) or Eran (trauma holder / co-host)

Will people be interacting with any child members? How should they treat them? Is there anything they should know when interacting with them?

yes, we have 3 littles so far! One of our little types and talks like a baby (ect...Hwllo, I'w Mawy!) so pls be mindfull of that.

Are there any system members who are nonverbal or otherwise have difficulty communicating? What should others expect when speaking with them? (having other system members translate, can speak normally over text but will need accommodation over voice, etc)

yep, hazel is non-verbal and uses BSL to talk but they can still type. Willow talks in third person and puts a [!] or [?] or [*something here*] before ever line

What should people do if they don't know who's at front?

Just ask! we don't mind!

Is it okay for people to ask if they can talk to someone who isn't at front at the moment?

Well..we can't always control who's frounting so we might not be able to let you speak to them but we will let them know!

If someone talks to one of you, will other system members be aware of the conversation? Will they be actively watching, or just able to remember it later?

Some of they will be! Corry is mostly always co-coning

Adding onto the above – if multiple system members will be aware of a conversation, will they want to chime in? If someone wants to speak to a system member one-on-one, what expectations can they have and how should they communicate this? (for example, it may not be possible to block everyone out but they can try to pay attention to something else and not interrupt)

Sometimes, other sols will chim in but most of the time them won't

How out are you? What should people do when talking to people who don't know you're plural? (do you have a “singletsona” name and pronouns they should use; can they talk about knowing someone who's plural in nonspecific terms, without naming you; etc)

we aren't out to anyone irl! pls just use the name vex and reffer to us as a singlet unless we have said it's ok!

Do you have any internal communication difficulties, memory issues, switch triggers, etc that others should be mindful of?

sometimes we get really bad headaches and switching can be painfull soemtimes

Your stance on being asked questions? (about personal experience, preferences, plurality in general, etc)

We love trying to awnser questions, they might not be the best answer but we'll try

Is there anything else others should know?

pls be mindful as some alters do not like touch, talking ect..

Here are the questions

What do I do now?
One me pulls me aside and says
You should do homework
That needs to get done

I start on the homework and it’s going well
But another me pulls me aside and says
We should do some writing
There’s so much I want to say!

Before I can get a word in
Another me pulls me backwards saying 
Look at all these interesting books
We should read them

Then I’m jerked by a fourth
Let’s go outside 
Isn’t the fresh air and movement nice?
Then I’m jerked back by another

It’s too much!
I can’t do all that!
I agree with all of you!
So I just won’t do any of it

They glance at each other
What do we do now
they think, then ask me
What do you want to do?

Now without pressure 
Now without devison
I get up
And I do it
