We Call Ourselves Persmos! Yeah, Like Our Sys Name

We call ourselves persmos! Yeah, like our sys name

It has a very large history and therefore context, it makes us feel mor ourselves persmos than alters, although we tend to use alters when talking about ourselves publicly because people don't know what persmos mean lol

reblog if you're a therian and you run an active blog. trying to find some fellow therians 👍

Our blogs are gonna be a little abandoned till Monday and I feel bad about it TT

TODAY IS OUR BIRTHDAY LET'S GOOOO

Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with

is it okay to treat alters like their source if they ask/want to be treated that way?

Why wouldn't be ok? If they ask to and want that go ahead and do it

The phrase "Don't treat alters like their source" it's because a lot of alters don't ID with source, have problems with it and prefer to not be treated as it, or in some cases people minimize the alter just to their source when we have to remember that their more than their source

Source separation is good for some alters, for some others is not and it can be harmful in some cases, like a lot of things is "it depends"

I could talk about all the implications and all that info but I don't want to fill my main blog with this topic, I mostly use our @syspport for that (so if you want a more in depth response and want to make more specific questions related to that topic you can go there and do it), and maybe I'll use the @cddcommunity blog to talk about how the community treats the introjects and sources things

Thanks for the ask! I don't normally get asks here so seeing an ask mayme so happy /pos
