Let's talk about Sysboxes.

Disclaimer:

This is just an awareness post, not meant for fighting and whatever you chose to do with this information DO NOT HARASS ANYONE MENTIONED.

Dont go harassing the blog or any of the mods. You can block them or what have you just do not spam them with asks or messages or anything of the sort. If they ask to be left alone then leave them be otherwise that is harassment. Thank you.

Now as many might be aware already, sysboxes is a userbox blog for systems that claims to be anti endo yet has quite a bit of controversy around that and there mods, one mod to be specific though more mods are included.

If you are unaware, this blog has stated they are anti endo, but their mods dont all align with what the blog is supposed to be. A handful of their mods are neutral but there is one that is a pro endo mod.

The problem with this is because if you're claiming to create a safe space for systems excluding endos and then have mods running the blog who themselves violate that claim, you are not creating a safe space and you are going against your own stance by allowing someone to invade.

Below we have screenshots a user sent our partner including their own statements. Apologies for the lack of ids. I hope it's in order.

If sysboxes has not yet taken responsibility for allowing an ableist pro endo "mixed origin" system to be a mod in a space meant to be anti endo then they seriously need to. They are not a victim they are putting victims, that had horrible experiences with endos and follow them, in danger.

But until then here are some blogs that you can follow and support instead that are more transparent about actually being anti endo:

those mentioned are perfectly welcome to ask to be untagged or removed from the list entirely.

A light green themed userbox that reads "this [blank] plays the guitar internally". The background is a picture of a pile of cds, tinted light green and at 50% opacity. The picture on the left is a close up of a light green guitar being played.

ask game . all of th4m

alr. bet

pink slime - we have a lot of cccc alters (aero, apollo, atlas, circe, echo, hertz, mercury, scout, sine, static, etc.), especially those of which that have been created by noah hhoneycloves (hertz, scout, sine, static, and mercury kind of)

tabby slime - juno is mischievous /pos and minx is mischievous /neg

phosphor slime - june can only front for 50 hours max at a time, if that counts. vetch only fronted at night, but it mostly reintegrated. mercury only fronts at night. minx almost exclusively fronts at night. saffron only fronts during the day.

honey slime - saffron is sort of bee-themed. like a bee cat

puddle slime - laika is extremely shy because she's a little, and mercury is very shy because it's... very traumatised. static is also very shy because he's an anxiety holder

hunter slime - cy has a hard time telling if it's fronting or not because it never really fully formed. same with other fragments

quantum slime - i don't think anyone can teleport in the traditional sense, but circe sort of can. it's hard to explain

dervish slime - aero, circe, hertz, mercury, scout, and sine all have wings, but hertz and circe can't fly because their wings are too small for their body

tangle slime - i'm not sure if alterhuman is the right term, but echo is sort of a dog/puppy 'alterhuman', and laika likes to act like and say that she's a cat. however, she's a small child, and that's just what some small children do

saber slime - juno and leaf are the oldest headmates, and june is a middle-aged man. however, there are some beings like sine that are angels and very old/ancient, if that counts

rock slime - apollo is very serious as he is a mind introject, june is pretty serious when it's called for, and scout is very serious, as they had to be in source to survive

rad slime - definitely minx. no questions asked

boom slime - definitely red, hence his source. also minx

crystal slime - circe really likes jewellery, especially chains and black jewels. sine really likes gold jewellery and soft colours because she's an angel. circe just likes looking pretty

fire slime - june eats like a pregnant woman (derogatory) and mercury and scout just eat anything they can find in any combination because of their source

mosaic slime - circe looks really interesting, and juno and venus have really interesting styles when dressing the body

quicksilver slime - we don't really do sports all that much, but mercury and scour are good at that sort of thing when it comes to it because of their source

glitch slime - leaf took a coding course that we all forgot except them 💔 and juno is okay at coding but not as good as leaf

gold slime - saffron and ushka are both good very odd, saffron is usually nonverbal and an age slider with a wide range, so usually just uses communication cards, and one day can be a five year old babbling at you and the next can be cursing you out. and ushka is just autistic and Like That

lucky slime - i'm actually not sure? maybe sine, but i'm not entirely sure that counts. so probably not

largo slime - juno and atlas often blur with each other to help with multiple things at once, and they call themself jatlas, which i think is sort of silly. however, they're still their own people

gordo slime - juno split into many fragments, although he still exists. he split into tycho (reintegrated), venus, aero, red, minx, and circe, in order.

party slime - juno's definitely very silly. so is circe and hertz and aero :)

twinkle slime - a lot haha. june, curio, wren, vetch, clementine, tycho, casey, styx, cypress, etc

feral slime - definitely minx. juno and red are also a bit aggressive, but to a much lesser extent

the tarr - uhh not really? although there was this one time that apollo blended with minx and that was bad. mainly just anyone blending with minx haha

cotton slime - saffron is the newest, and hertz is also somewhat new

flutter slime - aero, sine, and ushka are all very feminine. sine is transfem, ushka is a cis girl, and aero is transmasc but very feminine

batty slime - there are no actual vampires, but circe is sort of vampiric

angler slime - i don't think so, although echo is vaguely ocean themed in appearance. but no, i don't think so.

ringtail slime - juno. and scout and mercury, but juno does it maliciously. he thinks it's funny

yolky slime - definitely sine and circe, although hertz is somewhat also a 'mom friend'.

twin slime - all of the juno fragments are sort of a subsystem of their own (red, juno, circe, venus, aero)

sloomber slime - one of sine's roles is sleeper, and hertz and scout are narcolepsy holders.

shadow slime - juno and atlas are really good friends; static and hertz are brothers: sine is friends with hertz, static, and scout; circe and echo both dating the same person so they're sort of friends; aero, apollo, and atlas are sourcemates; laika, saffron, and styx (the littles) are friends; red, juno, and venus are friends

hi! looked through your pinned but I can't find any info on it:

is it more accessible to add image ID under an image or use the Tumblr alt text feature? thank u!

It's more accessible to add it directly under the image!

Not only are there some bugs that cause alt text to disappear, but some people that use image descriptions prefer to not have them read aloud by a screenreader (such as those who are partially visually impaired, can't easily recognize facial expressions, etc.). It also increases awareness of image descriptions to have them visible in the post!

Let's talk Alter Pregnancy.

[Let's talk alter pregnancy]

This is an information discussion post because there are claims going around calling it an endo concept when it is not.

Trigger warning for mentions of miscarriage and rape. Brief mentions as examples no indepth talk.

The how and why.

Key points:

- alters can become pregnant through normal means. Intercourse between two alters in the same sys.

- however there are other reasons at play; Desire for it (from that alter, the system or a shared desire between one alter and another be it from the same system or not)

- a form of coping from something trauma related,

- and a new alter forming.

Most often it is a combination but does not always have to be.

1. Its not an unfamiliar concept to most that alters in the same system can have sexual intercourse, and in some cases this can also result in a pregnancy. Though some alters can still have a pregnancy without it, in headspace with alters splitting and forming it isnt a required factor for every system.

2. For alters or systems who want children, sometimes the system will split children alters for them to take care of ti fill that desire, whatever the reason for the desire may be. But it can also split child alters in the form of pregnancy for alters who have an easier time with the concept of being a parent through birth rather than suddenly adopting a new alter, especially if the alter that split is a fragment and doesn't yet have an identity and may take time forming into a whole part.

For alters in a relationship between theirs and another system, that may desire to have children of their own between them, for whatever reason, the same thing can be said, it can be a full formed split of a child alter who's identity is a formed from a mix of them or a child from either of their systems that they adopted or it can come in the form of one of them being pregnant as said above. A shared desire for children like baby fever between one or more alters either in the same or across other systems.

3. Alter pregnancy can be a form of coping for many different reasons. It can be tokophobia the fear of pregnancy, an alter getting pregnant might be the brains way of coping through that fear, for us that's helped a lot. It can be coping with the loss of a child, if the body went through a miscarriage at any point or if someone very close has, it can be coping with the aftermath of rape, it can be an alter who isnt source separated coping with their loss of children in their source or any number of things.

"But headspace isnt real" argument dispute.

As we discussed before in this post, headspace is very real for many and very helpful for alters especially those just forming and as I explained above, alter pregnancy is another form of splitting alters.

Its just a more gradual formation that helps the system adjust in a different way. A lot if alters form for different reasons, a lot of systems treat their headspace differently. None of this is harmful.

Headspace is just as real as your alters, whether you can access it or not, so claiming that it isnt as a way to argue that the pregnancy isnt real is policing other systems experiences, you doing get to do that.

We cant control how other people treat their systems, what experiences their systems have and we cant get upset when it's different for us and hard to understand.

The brain is complicated and things take time to understand but you also don't have to understand in order to respect others.

Telling another system their expirience isnt real because headspace isnt real is telling them how they should treat their system. You dont know their system, their trauma, their experiences, you dont get to make those claims.

You can decide for your system that it isnt real, that your alters cant/wont get pregnant, you cant decide that for other systems and you especially cant decide that for someone else's alters who want children and who are coping.

To further clarify what I'm trying to convey by saying headspace and things that happen in it are real and that the arguments made against it are what I'm trying to fight, this post makes good points.

Endos, nontraumagenics, mixed origin, supporters and what have you dont interact, this isnt for you.

Endo neutrals and "singlets"/non systems you're on thin ice. Non systems can reblog but not add.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

People really trying to ruffle my feathers these days LMAO

[leafpile-system]

i appreciate when 'evil' characters are written to be complex. like... they're never just purely evil. they've got some sort of motive, reason, belief, delusion, paradigm, complex, etc.... and i think that's what makes an 'evil' character incredibly fascinating.
