History books will look back on their relationship and say “They were good friends, too bad capcom forgot about them”.

Hi anon! We’re happy to answer your question if you’ll stick with us through a little bit of preamble.
The truth is we probably need to create some kind of ‘system lore’ about page that has some quick info on how our system works.
Our system, and it’s members are pre-existing. We all have relationships and experiences that predate our lifetime sharing this body together.
The answer is that yes, many of our system members have relationships that fancops would find offensive or problematic.
But we didn’t create or deliberately enter into these relationships because we’re proship, or because we enjoy those kinds of relationships in fiction
The truth is that what we enjoy in fiction, and what our personal squicks are, are largely influenced by our experiences in our past lives as fictionkin/fictives. We would still definitely be anti censorship regardless, but our attraction to problematic themes in romance is because all of us have experienced messy romance before.
Relationships are complicated. They take work and understanding. A lot of the relationships we’re in now, which are comfortable and healthy were once upon a time very toxic or unhealthy. But we have the benefit of multiple lives together, chances at different perspectives and time to work things out.
If you look at our F/O list you’ll see a lot of problematic “ships”. All of our F/Os are real relationships that we’re in, either with other sinister system members, or with members of our partner’s system.
Harry (🌺😈) is in a number of incestuous relationships from his past lives. From his life as Alfred Ashford with his sister Alexia. With his father Norman from Marvel life. With his ectobrother John from Homestuck life as Jade.
Toko (😼🔪) is in really wonderful relationship that has repeatedly in previous lifetimes been quite toxic and unhealthy. As Sabretooth with Mystique. As Ocelot with Kazuhira.
Age gaps are too plentiful to even list. There have been times when one of our beloveds was an immortal with thousands of years on us. There’s Wesker (🌀😎) and Rebecca who have I think a 20 year age gap?
I’m (🔍⚔️) Dave Strider and I’m in a relationship with Rose Lalonde. Once upon another lifetime we were Takeru and Hikari from Digimon.
Our relationships and our perspective on relationships is intertwined with and inseparable from our mutual cycle of reincarnation. Meeting one another again and again, in different lifetimes in different contexts. A former sibling from one lifetime becomes a lover in the next. Destined lovers are born 30 years apart. People are enemies in one lifetime and beloveds in another.
Being proship doesn’t influence the relationships in our system, but the way our system works influences our perspectives on relationships and fiction.
Sometimes in the next two months (timing is finding related) we’ll be putting together a proship and self ship based forum, hosted on servers that permit adult content.
The intention is to create a moderated space for canon shipping and self shipping that has comfortable, moderated spaces for both adult and all ages discussion.
Anon, you didn’t seem rude at all.
It sounds like you’ve already read a lot of the available material for dissociative Identity disorder, so I’m going to tell you something that doesn’t come up in a lot of that material.
There are other origins for and experiences of being a plural system outside of what’s characterized in the diagnostic criteria of DID.
I’ll give you some material to get started, but what you should do is look into what’s called endogenic plurality or other plurality origin types.
None of these are fantastic or complete sources but they will get you started.
