"A is still around, yes! But A can lose traits or parts of themself too."

"B will usually absorb, hold, or process the trauma instead of A, since A was unable to."

"A likely loses memories of the trauma, or becomes heavily dissociated from it."

"The loss of memories can end up be(ing) more than just the trauma too. Sometimes, things associated with the trauma are lost (too). A and B are also likely very similar, at least at first. (B might even think they're A.)"

Image 2:

"Because of the loss of memories, A's personality may change slightly too. (Especially if the lost memories were defining to A in some way.)"

"This can all be very distressing for both A and B."

"And yes, not being able to accept trauma will/can cause splits like this!"

"I use *realize instead of accept though! Mainly since that's what's used in textbooks."

[*Realize] "The moment of becoming aware or understanding something fully."

"If one is unable to realize, accept, confront, or otherwise cope with a trauma, A -> B splitting can occur."

(Anon asks) "Your most recent post got me curious. what are introjects like in your system?"

"Well it's actually p' complicated!"

"For one, it depends a lot (on) how we split."

Image 2:

"For us there's a few kinds." "One kind being..." "A -> B! Which describes when A was unable to realize past trauma, leading to them splitting B. (This is how I formed)."

"And another kind being No Space. This is when new trauma occurs, and nobody is able to integrate it. This causes a new alter to be formed to handle it. (This is how most of us form nowadays)."

(Answered by Zay :3)

"I'm just happy to be here tbh."

Image 3:

"For now, we'll just be using these two."

"Introjection also depends on how long it takes to form, and Elaboration afterwards."

"If an alter takes longer to form, it's more likely for them to absorb traits from outside media."

"Aka, introject! but obv(iously), alters can be introjected without long formation."

"A lot of the time, this happens w/alters who split due to there being no space."

"The system needs someone who can handle something it can't."

"So when something or someone had been observed who seems stronger..."

"The brain tries to introject that strength into a new part."

Image 4:

"When it comes to how Connected to Source we are, and how Much We Act Like Source depends on the same info (given) above."

"Introjects split from No Space are more likely more connected to source. Mainly because the brain needs them to be as Them as possible to handle the trauma (that it couldn't)."

Image 5:

"Introjects who take awhile to form are less likely to be connected (to) or Act Like source. (Like me)."

"Usually because the traits were slowly picked up as seen when necessary, instead of desperately poured upon quickly."

"Obviously this isn't always the case, (nothing is)."

"Anyways, when it comes to A -> B, the least introjects occur. A was already being used as a building block, and the past trauma is Likely somewhat integrated already. As well as the fact the threat is no longer immediate, making it less dire (even if it doesn't feel like it)."

"Once again, not always the case."
