“but im a fictive of (character) i need to act like them-“ NO YOU DON’T!!!!! as long as you aren’t doing anything harmful, you can literally act however you like. you do not have to be bound by metaphorical chains to who you think you’re supposed to be. you are allowed to break free. you can just be you. -🔬

for created plurals of all kinds...

plurals, systems, headmates, alters, and parts

regardless of your story, you deserve love and compassion. and everyone is better off with you around 💛

i've noticed in some pro endo spaces it's frowned upon to not like being plural. folks, endogenic systems can still struggle. it doesn't mean you hate your system. the brain bastards are my friends, i just don't always want to live with them, you know? and there's nothing morally wrong about not getting along with your headmates either, nor is it anyone else's business.

shout out to those alters that fronted once then dipped🙏🙏

[asteroid-sysblog]

Shoutout to the plurals with less distinct headmates!

Shoutout to the systems made up of fragments!

Shoutout to the plurals whose headmates are fluid in elaboration!

Shoutout to the plurals who never fully switch!

Shoutout to the systems with only one or no elaborated headmates!

Shoutout to the collectives who “are functionally” or “can pass” as an inconsistent/fluid one!

Shoutout to the disordered systems who have neither amnesia nor elaborated/distinct headmates! 

Shoutout to the plurals who call themselves plural due to doing IFS therapy or using a parts model to describe themselves!

Shoutout to the those who feel they’re on the fence between plural and singlet!

Shoutout to the median systems!  

Shoutout to the plurallets!

Shoutout to those who are perpetually questioning!

Shoutout to all those who are too plural to fit in with the singlets, but not enough to fit in with multiple systems!

You are all welcome in this community. You are not stealing from fully multiple systems and you are not imposters. I love you and you belong!

guess whose turn it is with the long front

y'all are getting two comics today

-LL (he/she)

[ID: A black and white comic featuring a bug with a circular head, cloak, two antennas, no mouth, and wide eyes. The first panel shows him looking to the side and speaking, with a speech bubble reading: "I like being a system." The second panel shows him gesturing to the side, her eyes closed, and a speech bubble reading "Sure, we have trauma, amnesia, some of the headmates don't like each other, we have bad communication and don't really work together". The third panel shows him looking to the side again, with a speech bubble reading "But, I'm thankful to have them all alongside me." The fourth panel shows the bug giving a thumbs up, with a speech bubble above her head saying "The future is plural." End ID]

Ideas to make your system members feel safer!

Sometimes healing starts with small, quiet gestures. Here are some things that helped us feel safer inside and out:

🖍️ Make a collage of images and words that feel safe.

💌 Write comforting letters to your headmates. Encourage them to write back!

💗 Create a list of grounding tools and affirmations. Keep it somewhere where everyone can find when it's needed!

🧸 Offer external comfort objects like a soft blanket, a bracelet, or toy.

🔒 Create a “grounding box" with items that engage the senses. For example, you can use photos for sight, perfume for smell, candy for taste, and fidget toys for touch.

🛏️ Design safe areas in your innerworld where anyone can rest, hide, or heal.

🎁 Let headmates have something they can call their own, like a a journal.

🕯️ Visualize something protecting your innerworld. It can be anything: a magic barrier, a tall tree, a dragon, a glowing rune.

🎧 Make a playlist of soothing sounds or songs. Let others know it’s okay to listen.

🐚 Speak kindly inside, even if you’re frustrated. It sets the tone. It shows you’re trying.

Friendly reminder that endogenic systems can have trauma. It is not the reason for their system to form, yes, but that doesn't make either of said experiences any less valid.

transfem plurals and systems deserve the world and more

i think the black and white thinking of the system community, especially around taboo topics involving trauma and such, is one of the main reasons why systems become radqueers.

here's an example: let's say there's a system, jimbob system. and they desire to have more trauma.

this is a perfectly normal thing to desire, even though the concept of that desire is taboo. it's common especially among trauma survivors who were manipulated into believing their trauma wasn't that bad.

there's group A, the average system community. if the jimbob system voices how they feel, the jimbob system is likely to be met with hostility and social ostracization. if not downright fakeclaiming the jimbob system.

then there's group B, the radqueers. radqueers pride themselves on radical acceptance. so, if jimbob system tells such desires to the radqueers, those radqueers are likely to accept jimbob system with open arms and no questions asked. they might even suggest the label of "transtrauma" a label where it can be used to conveniently find other people who feel like the jimbob system.

now let's say the jimbob system encounters group A first, and then group B. group B, the radqueers, are more than willing to provide comfort and share their own stories of social ostracization. they bond with jimbob system and do not judge jimbob system.

and again, please remember that wanting trauma is a very normal response in a lot of trauma survivors.

the point of this post is to directly criticize the system community, absolutely. the way i've seen systems handle these taboo topics, i really don't agree with. i do believe that how it's currently handled leads people to becoming radqueers. everyone desires social acceptance, especially social acceptance of such vulnerable things.

i could go on about how for the jimbob system, they could be manipulated into doing worse things. but that's more focused on radqueers, and i'm criticizing the system community right now.

in conclusion: the way the system community handles taboo topics is done very poorly and leads to people seeking acceptance from risky groups. i think there should be change in how the system community handles taboo topics, such as wanting more trauma.
