INSPIROJECT

AN INTROJECT THAT IS “INSPIRED” BY A CHARACTER (OR PERSON/ANYTHING) BUT IS NOT EXACTLY THAT CHARACTER ! FOR EXAMPLE SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE CASSIDY FROM FNAF IN THE HEADSPACE BUT ISN’T EXACTLY CASSIDY BUT THEIR OWN PERSON INSTEAD !

THIS TERM WAS COINED ON 5 APRIL, 2023 BY FLOWEY FROM THE FNAF COLLECTIVE AND TECHNOBLADE-IRL.

Plain text: Inspiroject. An introject that is “inspired” by a character (or person/anything) but is not exactly that character! For example, someone who looks like Cassidy from FNAF [Five Nights At Freddy’s] in the headspace but isn’t exactly Cassidy but their own person instead!

Context: Introjects are headmates who have an original source that their personality, identity, and memories may be based partially or fully on.

“Introjection” is a concept used widely in psychology, describing the process of internalizing external qualities of someone or something, including values, attitudes, truths, or other parts of one’s personality. This can occur for any number of reasons.
