Hi Mr. H. Do you have a system member you'd like to share more about? <3

Thank you dear, for the prompt addressing me. I tried answering this before about Til, and fell asleep immediately ^^; so let me choose someone else

I’ll talk a bit on Kale.

Kale(inwardly known as Peter Cottontail, but he picked up the name Kale for ease of differing between our character Peter and of Peter the part) is one of our many green parts. By that we mean that he’s one of the protectors/supporting parts (others include Til, Cerberus, and Percy) He can come off very sharp and persecutory, but his intentions are protective at heart.

At first we thought he was an introject of an OC we just happened to know nearly everything about one day. Its kind of an opposite, however. We were making Kale in OC form without realizing it, and he came out as himself as a part after we found Belle and Nana. (He is actually an introject, but in the more classic introjection-of-someone-who-hurt-us way)

In the OC canon, he’s a rebel who struggles with his very obvious PTSD, even going so far as to have an emotional part who comes out and compulsively makes him run away from home with the intention of getting lost and keeping his loved ones at a safe distance. We were already struggling with all these things but never put two and two together until much later, actually. Partially due to the memory loss surrounding his flighty moments.

Kale is close to me(Mr. H) but not in a friendly or relational way. More that the line between us blurs a lot and when I’m triggered, I can either seem like him or switch entirely with Kale. We don’t get along very well anymore, but I love him as my son dearly.

Another way we relate interestingly is our tastes in food. To him, chicken tastes like fish. And to me, all milk products taste sour. We didn’t realize any correlation until we were talking to Chime about how tastes differ between parts and they said something along the lines of “that sounds like you both taste things like they’re spoiled,” Genuinely don’t know where that comes from or why, but I’m guessing it might be a trauma thing. Either way it’s very inconvenient.

Kale is very treasured as a protective part, and his sense of justice for our system is very necessary in healing from being gaslit especially. He’s been having the biggest ‘I told you so’ moment since we recently cut it off with a foul friend too, so.. good for him
