Try this neat trick to go from being a system of 6 to 206 in just 2 years!!! It's called being super fucking traumatized and living through a pandemic while figuring out you're a system and really coming to terms with it! Host hates himself for unlocking this trauma memory!!!

-Luca, talking about how we went from thinking we had 6 alters to 206 from the time we accepted we were a system to now

Ash, having a dream that an alter he hasn't seen before is telling him there are over 745 alters in the system: haha! Thank the gods this is just a dream and isn't real, right, Tweek?

Tweek: *whistles to himself, purposely not answering*

Ash, worried: Right, Tweek?

Tweek: *still doesn't answer*

Ash: Tweek???

hi!!! i would like to thank you guys blog for making us feel more proud of being a fictive-heavy system!!! have a great day!!!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

I hope you have a great day as well!

I feel like I should say something about fictive heavy systems... but the only thing coming to my mind right now is how at least 126 out of 174 (known) alters are fictives, and that I'm kind of tired of living my life pretending it's cringy to want to escape into a fictional world when the real world was so hostile to me in the first place, you know?

No one should ever feel bad because they have a lot of fictives. There's always a reason, and that reason doesn't have to be the system is neurodivergent- the reason could just be that fiction is easier to understand than reality, where people are cruel for no reason other than "you're different," ya know?
