Factling : a factual identity facet in a median system who has experiences and feelings in common with both factives or fogtives and factkin in a way that makes them feel positioned somewhere between or adjacent to the two.

Hi um, I/we are questioning being a median system and had a question about them (y'all seem very knowledgeable) so feel free to ignore this but is it possible for median systems to have fictives?

I'm trying to decipher if bakugo is confronting or if its a kin shift

m(_ _)m

Thank you in advance!

Absolutely! There's even a specific term for fictives in median systems who feel like they're somewhere between a kintype shift and a fictive, and that's fableing! The link goes to the coining post.

The factive version is factling, and we proposed nonhumaling or extraling for the nonhuman/extranthrope equivalent.

Definitely something pretty common, you're not alone anon!

it feels weird being sourced from someone a different race from us uh cause I'm just, naturally obsessed with my source's culture as an Armenian but it feels wrong, and I feel like I'm being a little... offensive ? when I make a bunch of Kandi of the Armenian flag (which makes people think Will is Armenian when he's not), when I get overly excited over anything about Armenia, because it doesn't just feel like an interest it feels like a part of my culture and I feel weird about it.

idk if Im first to question oneself this, but its possible to be a factkin (factive or even factling) of ones plural system's headmate (alter or subselves/micropersonas), right?

or does the concept of factkin is more rigid within the sys community? (I do hold atypical beliefs (delusions or DPDR maybe?) since about 7 years now with factual identities, so that you know. I'm also newbie to really being a system in sys communities, I only know the lore through reading concepts abstractly, I'm no vivid into discourses of that kind. not that I would be neutral, but also definitely not ferocious about it)
