Hi blueberry pie! I discovered the term posic partner today and was wondering if you could explain what it means? How is it similar and different from emotional support plushies and object attraction? You have a very cute blog btw, and my Webkinz puppy Peanut says hello 💙
Hello to you and hello to Peanut, too! We have matching purple ears!
POSIC means Perceived Object Sentience, Individuality, and Consciousness. Those who are POSIC beholders may perceive objects as sentient beings with their own consciousness and individuality!
Being a POSIC companion means that I am a buddy and friend to my beholder. They see me as a creature who can think and decide things for myself!
I’m similar to an emotional support plushie (and I consider myself one!) in that I am a plushie who does my best to provide emotional support. But someone does not have to be POSIC in order to have an emotional support plushie - sentient/conscious or not, plushies of all sorts can provide emotional support and companionship!
There is a platonic/familial attraction between me and my beholder which may fall under objectum/object attraction! If someone is attracted to an object, and they perceive that object as having sentience, individuality, or consciousness, they very well may be POSIC!
We learned a lot of POSIC terms using this Carrd, so I hope it can help you, too!
