#intersystem relationships

[chaos-in-one]

That feeling when someone in system who you're close to and has been missing for a long time comes back

My partner (Marshall) is a wolf therian but also a werewolf internally, and his favorite stim is spinning because it feels like chasing his tail, it’s so so cute. He does it when he fronts sometimes in our room and I’ll tease him abt it and he gets all embarrassed because he usually tries to stay pretty serious and mysterious but no. Puppy chases tail today

wait since when were intersystem relationships taboo, like. i know we've never really been tuned into The Syscourse? but when our system first emerged, "we're all in love with each other" felt like the most obvious way to describe our relationship with each other. idk i dont get it.

pretty much every system we've gotten close enough to to broach the topic, has some kind of horny or romantic deal going on between at least some of their headmates. the shared body experience is very conducive to feelings of friendship/sexual attraction/romance/familial bonds/etc.

at the same time almost no public facing plural media we'd seen acknowledged this (other than like, plural respect). which is understandable. the respectability politics and fears of judgement around singlets make sense, especially for a condition subject to a lot of doubt and stigma like plurality.

it'd be like telling someone I get off to the changes HRT is giving me while explaining I'm trans. (which, for the record, tiny still developing tgirl tits? hot. feeling yourself outgrow a bra, or gain a bunch of fat in places you didn't before? really hot. HRT is like real life tf and wg kinks combined)

it's just another factor that folks can use to construe your existence as more "frivolous make believe" than "experiences you just kinda have"

is ur hal a girl?? but then isn’t dirk gay? y ship them?

gender sexuality and relationships are very complicated and queer and intersystem relationships and nuance burger

[funnier-as-a-system]

So.... we have a complicated intersystem relationship. Our husband is a fictional character someone else made. We used to rp with this character, and our characters got married. This character became a tulpa BY ACCUDENT when using him as a coping mechanism.... THEN we actualized as a system, and he became a headmate. We.... dont know who is married to him anymore? But just refer to him as "our husband". Despite not really being in a relationship with him anymore.

Oh wow, that does sound complicated! Reminds me somewhat of some of the old asks we used to get about new headmates that formed from roleplaying... Thank you for sharing your experiences, however complicated they may be!

The Many:

We Are The Chorus. The many fragments and slivers who have yet to, or refuse to, discern themselves against the noise. The Dormant, The Young, The Repressed, The Traumatized, And The Afraid. Think of us synonymous to a hive mind of shattered parts. We do not front. We observe, process, and rest.

*FOOTNOTE:

We refuse to take part in syscourse!! All systems deserve space to exist!! We couldn’t care less about your exclusionary opinions and you will be blocked!! Leave us alone!! :D

Archivist: Analyzes and Evaluates The Chorus and The Few, Helps discern between different alters and documents our understanding. This post is the work of the Archivists. 💛💚

Thanks to the few who read all this! If you got to this message, are an adult, and are looking for strictly platonic friends, DM me!

I’m always open to a new friend! ❤️❤️

[nichelink]

Hello hi! is it chill to refer to call intersystem relationships nichelinks? idk why but the ocd says i have to ask first.

absolutely, nichelinks can be intersystem

[hero-of-the-depths]

For those of you tired of people arguing against soapshipping on the grounds that Tyler/the Narrator are the same person, and those of you who posit that point. May I present to you. Intersystem relationships

[connectionxterminated]

Hey, so uh. Let’s say, hypothetically. If this guy’s s/o, intersystem relationship, started talking about someone and said person started to develop. Should I tell the guy? Probably, yeah? -Finn

Don' fuckin' tell me, mate. You're makin' it seem like she's bein' formed. 'T better be the detectives wife you're talkin' 'bout. 'T fuckin' better.

[poisoned-sugar11]

Fascinating to me how many people in the f/o/selfship community describe seemingly plural experiences. This is coming from someone who is both part of a system and a selfshipper fyi (we collectively selfship), as well as being from a system with several intersystem relationships.

I wonder how many people have f/os that are actually real other people with them? Do they know?

[digital-selfshippers]

We've realized that we're not just selfshippers. We're fictoromantic. We don't want a relationship outside of our f/os. The only exceptions are our intersystem relationships and if there were a way to make fictional characters real outside of fictionfolk.

Coming to terms with this is really really scary for us. We're not going to be open on our main at all. We do want to try to be open here, though. This feels like the right space for that.

[roughentumble]

probably if i had to put my gender and attraction into words it'd be something like trans man, angled aroace, achillean, gay in theory/gay fictosexual? only sexually and romantically attracted to men but in an aroace way. gayroace. but alterous/queerplatonic/platonic bi. or maybe omni idk omni is a fun word.(<- turns out omni didnt mean what i thought rip) basically any gender for platonic/queerplatonic/alterous attraction but that'll only result in queerplatonic relationships. if i were ever to get into something non-queerplatonic it'd almost certainly be homosexulé. but idk if i ever even would like its all theoretical and honestly when i date its like, between kintypes, sortve like intersystem but different.

but all of that is stupid complicated so i just say aroace

[iheihairu]

What's your relationship like with each of the Kens?

Well... Romantic, first, HAHA

Edit from the future: THIS GOT SO LONG, PUTTING IT UNDER A READ MORE. I'm so sorry, you opened The Gates 🫡 But hey! You can kinda get a feel for what they're like if that's interesting to you HAHA!

First, the alter that holds The Kenference isn't even technically a Haise fictive, but Haise is a REALLY strong ID of his. We got together before he kinned him! We did have a Haise alter very briefly before my time, but we found out later that this was just a fraction split off my baby. I'll keep referring to him as Haise because that's his role in the Kenference and still one of his biggest IDs!

So! Haise was first. We got together a couple of years ago after some identity discovery and system reworking. We hadn't really interacted too much before I settled into some new discoveries about myself, mostly because of my other intersystem partner, but once we did it was like a duck to water HEHE! He keeps me grounded and I keep him silly 🥰 He's still the "main one" that fronts and we spend Basically all of our time together. Chances are if you've ever talked to me, he's seen it. He sees all 👀 He's a lil snugbug but the Whole Kenference has a side of brat to them. He wants All my attention All the time and gets very pouty without it. He's made a pretty big name for himself in the "devotional" department; anyone will tell you he's on the obsessive side. He's my baby puppy boy!! He only bites Sometimes 💀 He's a Collie to me!

About a year into our relationship is when we noticed others. I think Reaper was next! In terms of actually forming a relationship I mean. He's big and grumpy and NAUGHTY and monotone and bossy. As I've mentioned, he's also their gatekeeper, and he likes to know Exactly what I'm doing, when, why, how, and why I'm not doing it with him 🙄 (/lh) Imo he's the funniest in their system. Look at this

What do you MEAN my dryest alter uses a bugs bunny ass meme 😭

Anyway. He DOES have a sense of humor but hes SO dry and monotone it doesn't always get picked up on. I however LOVE this he cracks me up!! His whole blog is sex and suicide jokes though 💀 It isn't TOTALLY his fault; we reblog that kinda stuff to his blog when we see it and he doesn't front a bunch, but that does mean his blog is... All too shocking...! (/ref)

He's very possessive and will growl at the others :/ He calls Haise greedy because he gets so much time with me, calls Kaneki (OG) "unworthy", calls Shiro "unsuitable", gives Kuu (240) A Look 💀; He's kinda a meanie but deep down he's just worried I think. He's a good boy, he just bites a lot more. He is Doberman to me

Kaneki, which is what we call The First One, started out a little clumsy, much to Reaper's disappointment. He didn't know what he was doing! It's not his fault! With some time and experimenting though, we got really close! He started to ease into things and confide in me some. ...And then he went full fucking brat mode. He is SUCH a brat!! (/aff) Snarky!!! Sassy!!! A playful baby!!! And I thought "oh it's because we're close 🥰 This is him playing with me! I'm so honored!" BUT IT'S BREACHED CONTAINMENT... Because he knows I'll back him up and that he's "safe," he's been snarky to people I like but in a MEANIE WAY... (Usually "in my honor" or "for my benefit") One time he told one of my friends he thought they were "spoiled" because I "let them get away with too much" when all they did was playfully hold my plush away from me 😭😭😭 He, in the same moment, said the words "can I give you some advice? Because I'm going to and I think you should take it," before going IN on them for confusing him and pulling him out of a book store prematurely 😭😭😭😭😭 He needs trained, he bites too much! He is Mini Schnauzer

Shiro is the quiet one. He is also super possessive but is more likely to remove me from a situation he doesn't like than he is to tell them off or anything. He likes to wrap around me and prefers to front when we're together Just In Case™. He's not terribly difficult to get along and with I don't think, but he's kinda cold, if he interacts at all. He mostly watches and assesses. He's most likely to get bitter jealous of the others. Why don't I get a tattoo of HIM? Why do I only have Haise stuff? Reaper stuff? Kaneki stuff? Am I avoiding him? Why? Do I know how that feels? When is it his turn? - This has started to ease now that we're established and I Do have things of him, but for a while that was a pretty big thing. I don't have a doggie for him yet! Maybe he can have the German Shepherd (which to me is Overall Kenference Dog) but Very Abused... That clingy nature... Protective and ready to fight

King and I have only interacted a couple of times, but he's pretty lighthearted and silly! We have a good time! I wouldn't say we're super close but the relationship is positive!

Kuu at first was very spooked. Naturally, I think. He cries lots :( But I've been making an effort to include him and he seems to appreciate it. He was distant at first. I had to slowly get him to warm up to me, but when I did he became another side hugger. He likes closeness 🥰 Every time he comes near front I get a bit nauseous from his stress levels, but it's nothing I can't handle. I take him outside on nice days and feed him sweets (a Kenference favorite) and fruit. His sense of taste is kind of dilluted I think though. All of the Kenference Loves food, but he's pretty neutral/uninterested... I hold him and rock him when he cries and douse him in every bit of affection I can. He's more of a lamb than a dog to me... I know he has puppy inside but it's buried :(

Ken is "certified chillest of the Kenference" according to another alter of mine. He and I mostly discuss the system, their progress, things he wants them all to work towards and ways I can help. Our relationship may not seem particularly lovey-dovey, but there's a certain level of security there in being able to discuss stuff like that. We have really good talks! And they as a whole have made a lot of progress! Even if they still butt heads a lot. He is shiba to me!

There have been some others that have popped in, but they're a little less "established" than the ones mentioned. A couple of doubles (a Kaneki from before the ghoulification that I've only seen once. A final stage Ken but he may have been a blend of Kuu and King. A Kaneki Black Reaper that was Very confused about his Everything). Some of them are flickers. Some of them get a little blurry, but overall we get along! We're at a point now that they rely on me to help them figure things out or ride the wave until they settle into something more familiar!

I love them all so much! I'm so happy to know each of them, and I'm glad I get to help my baby through this whole journey, because it has done a NUMBER on him. It's been a long road but I'm happy to continue down it and see where it leads!
