#introjects. arent. source.

[tales-from-syscord]

soon after we had discovered our system we were in a server with a couple other systems and we had a lot of introjects from the same sources cuz we were into the same things. a few times alters from the same source would be interacting and someone would be like "omg do your remember that time you [insert some specific thing] in source??" and we would just have to apologize and say we didn't because a lot of fictives fronting at the time didn't have very strong source memories and also the things they were asking us about weren't even canon things that happened in the source, they were just little things they remembered.

Even if the things they spoke about were canon, or you had strong source memories, that's still really weird.

[tales-from-syscord]

Every single one we joined had a “source mate call” channel. Not to be friends but it was like borderline obsessive “erm guys we NEED to find our canon partner in another system!” Then if you proxied as that fictive, (we had that category muted and so didn’t see… or we would’ve not proxied) they would get upset you didn’t respond to their headmate call, and try to “gently convince you to go look at it.” Like nah man I’m good I’m not source attached this is unhealthy can you not?

What the ✨️fuck✨️

big fan of how this singular person (who was dating a fellow mod of a non-system server) made one of our introjects uncomfortable by proxy. not because our introject did anything but because the person is one of those "character irl" people (not a system!) and was very hostile towards those he perceived as doubles. and we had a fictive of the character he claimed to be irl. so basically our fictive of said character couldnt be herself in the main server until that person got banned for hostility regarding his identity and ties to said character.

hes still in the spinoff minecraft server so i had to discreetly change the fictive's profile so if she fronted that person wouldnt lose his shit about her.

The whole concept of doubles in any regard is so unhealthy.

Syscord is so big on source separation and recovery until it comes to sources those servers don’t like and sudden a headmate is their source and can’t be separated 🥲

(can we claim 🚨 as a sign off if possible)

Right? Like, source seperation everywhere until it's an EVIL introject who's EVIL and BAD.. like. Come on people.

[tales-from-syscord]

We joined a server and were really active [which felt awesome cause we rarely are consistently active] and everything was going great and all til one of our fictives came up

Now there wasn’t like a list of fictives that weren’t allowed to be on the server [which uh…weird?].

But one of our fictives fronted and talked on a server and another fictive from the same source started talking to them

Which fine ya know—

Until they actively asked our fictives in question if they could treat them like source [in their source they are “the villain” of the story and are painted in a very bad light]

So they said they weren’t comfortable and that they were pretty much source separated— and when they told them that— they took it as a personal offense????

And like shamed them out of front and we haven’t seen them since??

I should really make a sticker of us saying "introjects aren't source" because goddamn people are so stupid about that

[tales-from-syscord]

i have an introject of cwilbur from the dream smp. her name is evie and she is so lovely. i do not support the creator of her source or many other of the creators, and i am very clear about this because i really enjoy some aspects of the server and the remaining fandom.

once, when evie was fronting, talking about playing stardew valley and naming any farm animals after flowers, we get a DM asking if i can bar her from fronting from an admin in the server she was chatting in. because william gold the creator of the little roleplay character she is based on is a cunt. in 2025.

i need to attach an image that says "i am not my source" to ever message she sends at this point because what the hellllll

I need like. A disappointed emoji holding up a sign saying "introjects aren't source" at this point. How are people so.. delibaretly obtuse??

[tales-from-syscord]

this wasn't syscord but it was a system-safe anti-endo server and a lot of staff and members were systems

ok so one of our introjects was just talking about crafts and stuff because that's what the server's for and she's somewhat source-seperated but still uses a source nickname as a name and has a pfp of fanart of that source because that's What She Looks Like and some random ass person replies to a COMPLETELY UNRELATED message of hers with "omg I love [character] from [source]" and she's like oh haha I don't really but okay and they're just. generally being weird and trying to treat her as her source like she's roleplaying even though you'd think someone IN A SYSTEM SAFE SERVER would know what a system is I guess..... generally just made us mad uncomfortable because this introject doesn't act anything like her source and this singlet DOESN'T KNOW HER AT ALL just you know kinda weird

Alright you know the drill folks:

👏 Introjects 👏 aren't 👏 source 👏

[tales-from-syscord]

syscord servers with like source blacklists actually piss me off. Unless theirs a valid reason I guess, but it doesn’t make sense to us because people can’t really choose who their sourced from :/

AGREED.
