Hey and welcome to yourfaveisafactive

We’re the sibling blog to @yourfaveisafictive run by Society Grimm. We support all system origins and good faith identities. That being said, don’t start discourse with us because it won’t get you anywhere.

Here’s some guidelines for requests:

An ask stating the name and/or source of the person you’re requesting.

(Optional) A picture of them you want us to use

Be nice

We retain the right to politely decline requests for our own reasons.

Have fun.

Edit: for people who do not know what a fictive/factive is, please follow this link to an ask where we explain this with links to more info.

Hey everyone!

First of all, super sorry about the drop off the face of tumblr for the longest time!

There's been a shift in management around here. The system now running this blog (and the sister blog @yourfaveisafactive) is us, Society Grimm! (@societygrimm)

A lot of heavy things have happened that we'd rather not talk about publicly, though you're free to DM us if you're curious.

All that said, we're still keeping our requests closed for the time being and will be sure to make a post stating when they open back up again. Just having some really hard times and we aren't able to focus on this blog just yet.

Thank you all for your patience! Have a great day!

Oh, one more thing! We have opened submissions! If anyone would like to submit their own fictive/fableing/etc. post during our hiatus, you're free to do so! And here's the flag for anyone interested:

Just follow the rules for submitting and you should be set!

And for the factive flag:

So, the hard drive in our computer, the only thing we have at this point, died yesterday (November 26 2022)

To get a replacement and have it installed for us will cost $170

Being chronically ill and disabled, we can’t work, we have no income at all and no way to get any money. Our partner system was just denied for their disability claim yesterday as well.

Our computer is our lifeline in the abusive place we live. If anyone can help us pay for the costs of getting it fixed up, please help. Anything helps at all if you can safely spare it or reblog this post.

Our cashslap is $Platocles

Vanmo is @Lion-Cross

Currently at $0/$170

We’re sad to inform everyone that our requests (and subsequently the requests of @yourfaveisafactive) are being temporarily closed for the rest of this month.

The program we use to enlarge images to fit nicely on the flag has a monthly upload limit that we weren’t aware of until today. (9/27/2022)

We’re hoping it resets at the beginning of each month, so please check back around October 1st, 2022, and we’ll check to see if we can use it again.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone! /gen

In reference to this post, we’d like to inform everyone that we figured out exactly how many images we’re allowed to enlarge per month. It’s sadly only 20/month with the free version of this program.

We don’t usually get that many requests per month, which is why we’d never hit this roadblock before, and sometimes the images don’t need to be enlarged, etc.

We’ll keep everyone updated should we run into the limit again! Thanks for being so patient!

I'm really sorry if y'all had gotten this before or if there's a post that explains it, but what do y'all mean by 'a fictive' and 'a factive'? I tried looking these terms up but kinda left a little more confused on how these apply to people.

I hope it's not an annoying thing to ask. Y'all can ignore this if it is.

So, this might be a little confusing (assuming you are not a plural system, apologies if you are!), but these terms are used to reference specific types of headmates in plural systems.

Firstly, a plural system is many different people sharing the same mind/body. This could be a symptom of a dissociative disorder, such as DID/OSDD/etc., but there are other forms of plurality that don't stem from these disorders. Every system is different, just like each person is different, so there's really no set definition on what it means to be plural except that there's more than one person inhabiting the body/mind (or there used to be in some cases).

In reference to a fictive or a factive, these are terms that describe certain types of headmates (a member of a plural system) in systems.

A fictive is a headmate that was derived from a "fictional" source of media, such as a movie, show, game, book, etc. This person may be exactly like the character they are derived from or they may differ in some or every way. The important part of what makes them a fictive is the media they were derived from being considered fictional.

A factive, on the other hand, is a headmate who was derived from a source that exists in the outer world, such as a musician, celebrity, YouTuber, etc. Just like a fictive, they can be the same or different from the person they were derived from and the important part of what makes them a factive is simply their source of derivation.

In case we haven't explained this well enough, here are some links that might be able to explain better!

Thank you for being polite in your ask and remember that there are no stupid questions! As long as you are kind and genuine, that's all that matters! -- Mod Gregory

(Game theory anon) Yeah sorry, both MatPat and Stephanie (his wife). Normally I think it would just be Matt but since we got them both I figured I would just ask for the channel in general. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for clarifying. Hope you like them /gen -- Mod Gregory
