Especially when it comes to all of us who are fablings

I, the host, am very interested in neuroscience and how systems work. (Funny how I never realized I was a system until my siblings who are a diagnosed system said that what I experienced isn't a normal singlet/kin experience. XD)

Learning that introjects have a base: the person they're introjecting from.

Then, building up the lore/canon from things such as headcanons/fan works/theories.

Then going to any other medias you may have watched/read/played and taking attributes from people from those sources and building it upon the base.

Also doing the same thing as step 3 but now it's with real people the brain has met.

Finally you have a full formed introject.

At least, that's how we saw it briefly explained. And it's very interesting because I've been looking at 3 of us in particular and figuring out how they came to be, specifically in regards to step 3.

Jax was pretty easy to pin down: getting trapped in a video game by putting on a VR headset? Yeah, that's the Amazing Digital Circus, but also, his human form he has/remembers is heavily based on Kazuto Kirigiya aka Kirito. Obviously not 1-to-1 but you can see it, especially when he remembers being part Japanese. (He can't tell if half or a quarter)

Then, I looked over at Rouge the Bat and there's definitely some Team Rocket Jessie influences. Surprisingly, she also is based somewhat off Jules from the movie "Rio" that I saw when I was like 10??? Then I looked at step 4 that takes place at the same time as step 3 and realized that she's also based off 2 artists I was listening to a lot around the time she formed.

Ashley Graves has a few influences that really messed up due to her now having crossover canons and AUs galore that she hates talking about. Like Undertale, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, some type of vampire media (can't tell which one(s) since I was watching a lot around that time), and then again; step 4: a few true crime documentaries I had been watching for the past 2 years.

The others have some other influences, but haven't really figured out what they are yet. Anyway! I just thought it was interesting. I always really like how the brain works and how it creates whole other beings and people inside itself. I like to believe that it's not just creating people, but also wandering souls are drawn to it as it's creating. :3

Well, at the time this is posted, I'll be at a con as myself. Funny considering I formed AT a con earlier this year.

Now, at the time of writing this, I've been editing more of my clothes. I wasn't able to get everything picture perfect, but close enough. A lot of DIY today and then the past few months I've been gathering pieces of my "cosplay" by thrifting and a Shadow kin I know is helping me put together the cosplay because she's very experienced in cosplaying, and she's going as her past self: Shadow.

I think she's trying to get her girlfriend to be Sonic, our body's sibling who is also a system to be Tails, and a friend to be Knuckles, but we will see if anyone else follows through on that plan of Sonic characters, all that I know for sure is that us Sonic fictionfolk are going to be ourselves.

Our seats were to the left side of the building, and was the 12th row of 20. A lot of the time, I would fly up with Shadow holding onto me because guess what, it's kinda hard to see when you're 3 and half feet tall and the majority of humans were 5-6 feet tall.

Once I even flew around the whole room without getting too close to the stage.

But one of the times we were on the ground, it was during "Heavy Metal Lover." I looked over at Shadow, his eyes were relaxed yet were glued to the stage. He was tapping his foot to the beat of the drums. And I saw him smiling. Genuinely smiling.

I think that's the moment I fell for him. Not coworkers. Not just a crush. Not just a simple one-time date like many others. I fell hard.
