Anyone have any tips for dealing with problematic persecutors?

We currently have a persecutor who loves to purposefully trigger us and today tried to cause/force a split.

I know lots of people like to suggest "just talk to them", which is great advice, but it's not really working and this is starting to get out of hand. So any tips would be lovely.

I don’t know how to explain how I feel about my existence. I often honestly forget that I myself am a person. That I, too, am an alter. But not in the "I'm the core/only real one" way.

It just feels like I am the overlap of all the others. That I'm the space between where their identities blur at the edges. That I am the gap where they don't exist, the void between them, only filled by the bits of them that seep in. Every aspect of me feels like it comes from them. My favorite color, the way I talk, my aesthetic, my hobbies. It all feels like them. When I try to separate them from myself to figure out what identity is me, I feel nothing. It's a void. I am only the parts of them that bleed together, the only thing I am is a void to be filled. I feel like nothing but an empty container. I am the body and nothing else. I am not a being, I am nothing. I am simply the body, a shell, the place where they all come together to coexist. I am only the sum of them. Otherwise, I am nothing.

At least that is how it feels.

I dont know if there is a term for this or if others relate. It feels pretty isolating.

I feel like one of the biggest reasons we would get fake claimed is because we have pretty much no "normal" alters. They are all unhinged and chaotic. Like seriously. Can't we get a normal one? /j

Anyways, have some quotes explaining what I mean:

"Eat yourself."

"As in out- like eat myself out? Or like cannibalism?"

"Cannibalism."

"Okay, first off. How flexible do you think we are? Second, don't eat yourself."

"A spider crawled out my ass."

"What? Context? Context? Please? Please, context?"

Never did get any context. Idk what's going on in there.

Send help /j

Is there a term for like an introject-adjacent alter?

Say an alter is heavily inspired by a fictional character (same name, personality, likes, etc), but isn't that character, is there a term for that?

Something between fictive and brainmade. Or just between introject and brainmade.

Just asking for my one alter.

Tw: for brief/minor religious trauma and homophobia

Okay, I would very much appreciate it if our religious trauma holder (at least imma guess that's their role) could stop being actively harmful to our mental health.

We've been dealing with her for the past few days, being insistent that we need to break up with our girlfriend and pray for forgiveness.

Idk what to tell you girl. We're not even Christian anymore. We got over this. We moved on.

So why are you sending us back into this spiral? Please, we are struggling enough as it is.

Having a system of mostly nonhuman alters leads to some... interesting conversations.

*an alter being amazed by the system's body*

"I have insides. That's so strange. I have blood. And veins. And bones! That's so weird to think about."

"... the fact that you have bones?"

"I don't even know who or what you are."

"I'm a lot of things."

"That's not helpful."

"I know."

"We have bones! That's so cool!"

"Because that's not ominous."

"Yes, we do. I'm not sure why that's exciting."

"Because they're bones! Bones!"

"You do realize they're not removable, right?"

"They're not?"

"No, they're not. Please do not try to remove our bones!"

How these mfs gonna just drop some major system lore on me like it's nothing?

Like what do you mean that there is a part of headspace based off of a source as well as multiple alters from that source?

None of which i know or have met. Or was even aware were there.

Wtf. Since when? When did that happen?

Just trying to think, and these mfs (endearing) keep commandeering my thoughts. With the most random bs too.

"Mother fucking Finding Dorothy."

*stops for a moment to process*

"It's fucking Dory."

I don't even remember what I was thinking about. I've been completely sidetracked.

Having an alter of your OC is interesting sometimes.

*Hears the alter speak and trying to place the accent.*

"Is that French? I don't know if that's French. But I think it's French."

*Devolving into (confused) laughter*

"I didn't design her (the OC) as French. But I guess she is?"

Man, making an OC based around an issue you have as a way to vent is a dangerous game when you're a system.

Like yes. "I have this issue. Let me make this vent character to cope."

My brain: "Did you say....make a character?"

No. Nope. I didn't mean I wanted her as an alter. As an OC brain. Geez.

This time I got to turn the tables on one of my alters(accidentally, lol).

"This body doesn't even belong to me, technically."

"What do you mean it doesn't belong to you 'technically'? On what technicality?!"

"...."

"..... *realizes they are a different voice*"

".....fair point."

(It belongs to us. Communism.)

Minor nsfw (only cuz of da wording we use. Literally one word we use. So no cut, but yah)

Ya know how some people compare their systems to twitch chats?

Yah, that's us in a nutshell. One of those chaotic twitch chats.

Quick quote that sums up our system vibes:

"Deep throat it."

"Don't deep throat the mop." (Wish text could sum up the pure "I'm done" tone)

*Daydreaming scenes/scenarios about a comfort character of mine*

*gets distracted by a thought and end up asking myself a question*

*a voice that sounds suspiciously like the character I was daydreaming about answers*

Me: 0.0

Please tell me that was just the after affects of my daydreaming.

(If you can't tell, I have no clue what I am doing or how to make funny posts. How does one convey funny reactions in text? How make funny face that makes sense in context?)

Anyone else have a very meme-able alter?

Like, sorry, Dave, I love you. But you gotta admit it's funny.

I love how most of my alters I kinda have an idea what all they do. But then sometimes...

Like:

This is __, they are a protector. This is __, they help with social interactions. __ over here fronts when we are stressed. Panic attacks and anxiety tend to get managed by __. This is __ the anger holder, but don't worry, he is chill. __ is a little. And this is Dave.

"What does he do?"

He's British.

"Okay, but what is his role?"

... British.

It's funny just how broad the spectrum of "knowing" your alters can be.

Sometimes you know them very well. Their name, pronouns, gender, sexuality, roles, like/dislikes, personality. All that fun stuff.

And on the other end, you may only know that they are there because they don't feel like the others. And that's about all you know about them.

Then sometimes there's that one random guy who is just there. Who is he? Don't know. I just know he's there, and he's chilling. Also, he's British, I guess.

It's just such a broad, random, chaotic spectrum.

*insert funny intro that potentially implies that below is a system quote*

"Bloody hell."

"Can you stop saying that? We're not British."

"Well I am, bitch."

"Okay, cool. But-"

"Fuck off!"

"What- what accent even was that?"

"Mine."

"Well, yes- no- ye- no. Okay."

(Should have heard me stammering that last sentence.)
