#tosya

The protectiveness over your alters, sometimes acting as a sort of savior like in Jammed Signal C hits close to home. We're always having to clean up after the host and each other, help ourselves when others can't/don't want to and when we have the strength to do so. We have to support each other, because if we can't, who will? This also stems from being deeply lonely growing up too.

And especially cause we're endogenic, we can really understand why Asya formed Tosya in the first place. Asya was also always a very isolated child, so we imagine that she probably formed Tosya as a sort of imaginary friend that then spiraled out of her control. We haven't had any imaginary friends growing up, but we always entertained ourselves with voices in our head instead, albeit not to as much of an extent as someone who isn't specifically a median system.

We believe that Jammed Signal C was just the incident where Tosya went dormant after using up too much energy to get Asya out, and also because Tosya and Asya seem to have a history with each other beyond that incident. What sort of pain do you think Asya felt, losing her other half? Losing her best friend, losing many of her own memories, losing herself? No wonder she is how she is in canon.

We see ourselves a lot in Tosya specifically, which is why I'm here, I guess lol. The whole 'born from a wish made in earnest' thing. But even despite the entire system thing, Asya and Tosya are just really relatable. Asya is a sort of comfort character for us, and explorations of her mindset feel comfortable to understand. The real world can be quite unforgiving, but by applying an arbitrary set of rules and pretending we control the variables, it can be less scary, even if it comes with being terrified of things not lining up.
