Autive

A form of fictive that's introjected from an AU of the source rather than the source itself.

[Image ID: A horizontal 9-striped flag. The first line is thin and is a desaturated orange in colour, the second line is thicker and is a mildly saturated light brown in colour followed by a thin white line, a light grey line and the middle line is a slightly darker grey. The bottom half of the flag mirrors the top half but the last two lines are a desaturated blue in colour (the thick line) and light blue. /End ID]

Can be used by all system types, coined by us.

hey! i (bunn) have more experience with introjects than faust so im taking this one but faust feel free to step in with your opinion too

i think it could be a couple things

1. memory is weird. its really easy to influence, intentionally or not. as an example i literally cant tell the difference between things that happened to me personally and things that my mom told me happened to her a few times. its even harder with pseudomemories because none of it really happened (though its usually grounded in reality as i’ll touch on later). so it’s reeeeeally easy to hear someone say “i remember this” and that memory genuinely implants itself into your mind. ultimately harmless in my opinion as long as it doesnt cause you stress.

2. pseudomemories are usually (well. pretty much always lol) grounded in some type of trauma or stress you experienced in real life, and it’s not unlikely that you and your friend just experienced very similar things to cause those memories to form. especially if theyre based on what happened in source at all, or could be easily extrapolated from what happened in the source. as an example: i wouldnt find it weird if i were a luca introject and i met an alberto who had the same pseudomemory of us pvp fighting sea monsters or somethin.

it’s most likely some type of combination between these. personally, i wouldn’t worry about it too much! i don’t know you, but i don’t think you’re making up memories to strengthen the friendship. DID brains are just weird! just make sure to be careful not to treat them like they’re the literal person from your source

hope this helped! remember im not a professional and im just a guy

I don’t even know why!!! I haven’t seen all of my source but fuck, I didn’t choose to come from there! It’s not my fault we had a friend that was like “hey this character reminds me of you! watch this!” and then a few episodes later I split. I hate it.

I hate how it makes me feel like I have to avoid these spaces because I’m bad. I’m worried my existence will offend or trigger someone. This is why I’ve never used my name on this blog and only go by an emoji. I don’t want to make my system look bad.

It just sucks seeing all these pages offering support and saying “we luv fictives!!! ur all valid!!!” and then listing me in a special section for shit shows. Alright fuck you too then.
