We're a weird mix of Cooper (because Always Fronting while his partner is home unless we for some reason need to push him out), Will (because the cats are working out some cohabitation struggles), and Maria (because there's a lot of Stress thanks to Cats), and let me tell you, it's comforting but Still Weird to be actively co-fronting together again.

One of the most fascinating things with being the product of a few fictives integrating is still getting hit with the "Oh me" feelings and memories of the individuals, while still maintaining my own sense of self, and it being a very distinct feeling from being kin. It's been a hellova thing to explain to my partner.

I am Leon (definitely more than anything else), but I'm also pieces of Piers (and hold a lot of those feelings/emotions), and those things feel distinctly me still, even though, in a way, I'm not quite either. It's still distinct from kin feelings, since I do have some of those, so it feels like an interesting spot to be in.

Most of this is coming up because of the oddity of my source doing a soft reboot that incidentally fits in with my cannon, even if it's still not fully there, which has prompted a lot of talks with the gf. Plus talks with Scully about how I want to be referred to as when it comes to things related to either of the distinct Me things, since she views me as myself (primarily Leon/Cooper), but also Piers sometimes.

Just babbling about it, I guess.
