#persecutor positivity

your persecutors are not beyond saving, by the way. you are not beyond saving, "bad parts" and all.

the whole narrative of "evil" or "bad" alters needs to be dismantled. whether you like it or not, whether you prefer to be addressed as individuals or not (i know that we do), whether your goal is final fusion or functional multiplicity or some other thing, alters are still parts of a whole and continuing to punch down at your "worst" alters is punching down at yourself.

until you learn to accept and work with all parts of yourself, you're never going to move anywhere.

when you back an animal into a corner, it's going to bite. if you keep screaming at that animal, it's going to keep biting. if you hit that animal, it's going to bite harder. until you learn to approach with kindness and understanding, that animal is going to bite. it's never going to want to work with you.

anti - persecutor sentiment doesn't seem to be as prevalent this side of tumblr, but it absolutely runs rampant on other social platforms like discord or tiktok. not like i'd expect anything else.

and just... to be clear. i am not dictating how you address your system. i am not dictating your recovery. i am, however, stating my opinion based on my own experiences and others' that i've interacted. thanks

Shout-out to the intimidating alters. Shout-out to Protectors who are often rude or aggressive as part of their function. Shout-out to Gatekeepers who are often cold or uncaring as part of their function. Shout-out to the Caretakers who are often overly bearing or demanding as part of their function. Shout-out to the Persecutors who are often hostile or distrustful of others as part of their function.

It’s okay to be a persecutor btw, you don’t need to redefine the term persecutor to be softer. Embrace your anger, embrace who you are, you don’t need to make yourself smaller just so people will accept you.

To you, Persecutors and Malicitors who are Fact-folks, you deserve respect

Persecutors and Malicitors who are factives, factual introjects, factkin/factualkins, fact DAs, fact endels, factchains, facthearted/synpaths, factlinks, and others I haven't mentioned, deserve respect. Yes, including those who have these roles that others often judge without knowing the person.

Fact-identified malicitors and persecutors deserve to live with dignity, to not be ostracized by their headmates/systemmates/alters/collective/etc. or be called these terms without your consent. Your identity should be respected, not forced to convert into a more respectable one against your will,

whether you choose your fact-identity or you've had it all the time

if your identity can't be boxed into voluntary or involuntary

whether it's partially based on someone you know or someone you don't

whether your source is an abuser

whether your source is someone (in)famous

or a combination of that, or anything else

if you're partially a fiction-folk, divine-folk, nonhuman, and more

no matter what your origins are - soulbonding, plural from birth, created, from trauma, walk-in, others - or even if you don't want to know about your origins

no matter if your plurality is disordered or not, diagnosed or not

no matter what disabilities you have or don't have

even if you're not a protector or a more "nurturing" role, "misguided" or otherwise

no matter your level of "cooperativeness" with your system

no matter if and/or how you want to change

You don't deserve to be abused for just existing, or for your role or fact-identity or source. Not by your own system and not by society. Especially before they get to know you and see your behavior. And if you are, know that you do not deserve it.

You don't have to have a "nurturing" role to deserve kindness.

support persecutors. persecutors are not inherently evil, even though some may want you to think that. everyone has a chance at redemption and everyone can be kind.

being kind feels a lot better than being harmful

don’t give up.

I was recently thinking about the way we mask our autism, at times, even though we're mostly unmasked. And I was kinda getting pissed off. We think of ourselves as heavily unmasked, and we are. But I just stumbled into a way we mask that's actively fucking horrible for our mental health. And so, of course, my response was "well I'm going to make it impossible for you people to ignore, now, by agitating the situation."

And our primary caretaker just ever so gently "So whenever you think of yourself as 'not harmful enough to be a persecutor' I need you to think back to this because that's the most classic persecutor behavior ever, and then I need you to shut the fuck up."

Like y'know what yeah that's fair, but hearing someone so gentle tell me- known for being volatile- to shut the fuck up made me cackle.
