The abuse was/is not your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong by existing as yourself.

Your existence is not shameful, fake, or cringy, and it does not make your system either of that.

Your being a fact-type should not be grounds for your systemmates / headmates / alters / etc. abusing you.

Your counterpart in this world being shitty - whether an abusive parent, a “problematic” celebrity, a historical dictator, or a bullying classmate, or anything else - does not make you deserve abuse.

Your counterpart / source being your systemmates’ special interest, fandom, hyperfixation, etc. does not make you deserve intrusive questions, stalking, suppression, assault, gaslighting, or anything else.

You deserve to be seen as your own person, independent of your counterpart.

You deserve to be respected no matter how “compliant” or “divergent” you are.

You never deserve abuse. If your systemmates try to justify their mistreatment of you, they’re wrong.

I’ve heard shoutouts to factives - and partial factives, demi-factives, or fucktives, or fogtives - who are here to help the system. To factual introjects who are split or formed by the brain to soothe the host or work as a trauma holder, protector, persecutor, or any other “textbook” system role.

But here, I’d like to give all my appreciation towards:

- factives who are formed and/or split by the brain due to an interest, fandom, or hyperfixation, and isn’t there to soothe the host/system.

- factives who are walk-ins from other universes, and thus are not specialized for a certain “function”.

- factives who just want to have fun.

- factives who make their own purpose.

- factives who own their lack of purpose.

- factives who refuse to have a system role/job.

- factives who only take system roles/jobs voluntarily.

- factives who were/are forced to take system roles/jobs against their will, but grow into it.

- factives who were/are forced to take system roles/jobs against their will and resent it.

- factives who have their own trauma.

- or a combination of any of those.

Thank you for existing, for arriving, or for being formed/split.

Thank you for everything you do and everything you are.

You’re an important member of your system and a valuable person / alter / pluran / systemmate / etc. whether you’re “useful” or not.

You deserve respect, love, care, and whatever you need to have a comfortable, happy life in your system. Including from your systemmates / headmates, as well as from outside your system.

If your trauma is unrelated to the body, it’s real and you deserve to cope with it the way that works for you. You shouldn’t have to be forced to adhere to the body’s trauma, whether it’s because you’re a walk-in with your own life before and/or parallel to the system, or anything else.

If you were forced into a role you never wanted, I sympathize. I hope you (and your system) can figure out a compromise.

I am proud of you all.

You don't have to be a "full" factive to be valid.

You don't have to justify your existence.

You don't have to use the "introject" label if you don't want to. Even if you are brain-formed/split.

You don’t have to have a “purpose” or a specific job/role in your system. But if you want to have one, you can choose whatever job/role you like.

And if you do have a system role/job/purpose: remember, what you do is good enough.

You deserve a break once in a while. You shouldn’t have to overextend yourself.

If you don’t want to, you shouldn’t have to revolve your life around the host / main fronter / etc. (if you have one).

You’re allowed to be the host / main fronter / etc. of your system (if it has one and if you want to be). Your system isn’t “fake”, “cringy”, or “shameful” for having a factive as a host / main fronter / etc..

You are an important part of the plural / multiple / median / system / more than one community, as well as fact-types, factives, and whatever communities you feel you belong to.

However, it’s okay if you don’t want to be in any community. You need to be safe and comfortable.

You are real and valid. You deserve to be respected for who you are.

You shouldn’t have to tolerate people pitting you against factkins.

If your ID is comfortable to you, you shouldn’t have to hide it (unless it’s unsafe).

(Fact-types include but not limited to: factlinks, factkin, factives, factual introjects, facthearted, fogtives, fucktives/faitives, partial factives, etc.)

You don’t have to beat yourself up, whether privately or publicly, to deserve respect.

You shouldn’t have to perform self-flagellation or reblog posts with proof of your counterpart/source/etc.’s terrible behavior to be welcomed to the fact-type (as well as other) communities.

You don’t deserve to be judged for who you are in the past and/or for the actions of this universe’s version of you.

(Including but not limited to: factlinks, factkin, factives, factual introjects, facthearted, fogtives, fucktives/faitives, partial factives, etc.)

You’re not “cringy” or “fake” if your way of coping with losing your old life includes:

Stimming.

Daydreaming.

Echolalia.

Source-watching.

Hyperfixating.

Infodumping.

Having a comfort object.

Making moodboards, playlists, aesthetics, etc.

Wearing gear, clothes, perfume, etc. your fact-types likes/liked to wear.

Saving up for said gear, clothes, etc.

Substance use.

You deserve respect and compassion, even if you don’t “look neurotypical”, and even if you’re an addict / a person with addiction, and even if you’re not in recovery.

You don’t deserve to be shamed, mistreated, or abused for existing, including by your own systemmates / headmates / alters / etc.

You shouldn’t have to be seen as “bad” if you’re a factive of an abuser or a toxic/infamous person.

If you have hurt others - sure, the people you hurt don’t owe you forgiveness or even wanting your presence - but you deserve forgiveness from yourself. You deserve a second chance. You can change, if you want to and work on it.

You are your own person.

You don’t have to be 100% like this world’s version of your counterpart / source / etc.

You’re allowed to grow and change.

You’re not “lesser” than other fact-types if you’re formed or split by the brain, or even if you’re intentionally created.

You’re not “fake” if you’re a walk-in from another universe.

You deserve to be respected if you want to talk about your other-universe, metaphysical, past and/or parallel life experiences and memories, or anything else that’s not psychological in nature.

You are allowed to have your own trauma - your trauma is real and doesn’t have to be an allegory for body trauma. And you’re allowed to heal from it, cope with it, etc. on your own pace.
