i guess these still count as facets, but recently i've felt them more as just aspects of myself, or "modes" i feel emotionally + mentally rather than fronting personalities. they may come back in that way, though!

brian rain

• ah, this guy... how do we explain this guy?
• originally a negative facet that was basically the personification of my self-hatred + dysphoria. he was a dick
• but he became chill and was just sort of the calm personality who fronted when i felt like "i" couldn't handle things or just whenever he pleased
• nowadays i've sort of absorbed his aesthetics + personality aspects as part of myself. and he's my OC.

akira kurusu

• this one is another odd case... i do project onto my headcanons for akira to the point that i feel heavily attached to him. i think i'm kin. probably. maybe. i'll leave it in the list up there.
• he appeared as a facet a while back; he's very traumatized and wary and reclusive. not very engageable even though he does want company and care
