thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago

[circus-of-many-names]

Protectors listen in, this reminder that protectors are allowed to cry and have a hard time. You don’t have to be strong 100% of the time.

Never done one of these before, hello!! This ones not super crazy:

I usually don't join system servers, one of us always ends up leaving after a bit anyways because they make us uncomfortable. The last system-focused server (this server was also fictionkin/alterhuman focused for a bit of context) I had joined genuinely baffled me so much that i just stopped joining new servers altogether

It looked super normal on the outside, it had a nice little theme going on and I didn't see any sort of red flags immediately, so I joined!

When I was applying for verification and looking through various channels for the rules, I stumbled upon an entire LIST of banned "doubles" for fictionkins AND fictives?? Like god forbid you had a Keith Kogane fictive, you would be kicked or some shit (that was one of the characters on the list) so that was baffling to me. The list was SO LONG too, it was genuinely insane

This server also had a tendency to use system terms for fictionkins (as in "source" instead of "media") and when i pointed that out in my verification ticket, they denied it because it was "syscourse bullshit"

so yeah, not a hideous experience but it definitely weirded me out a lot

Say it with me folks

Introjects 👏 aren't 👏 source

Everyone come beat my dead horse with me!

THIS IS ANOTHER INTROJECT RANT OF OURS FROM DISCORD, EAT WELL CHILDREN.

But seriously, the culture around Introjects is so weird and unhealthy. These are JUST alters. You aren't a shameful person for having an alter with strongly introjected traits. Your Introjects aren't more special than other alter just because they're Introjects.

They. Are. Alters. Too.

I am so tired of hearing things like- "guys is this thing about my Introjects okay?" And it's just an average alter action. INTROJECTED ALTERS AREN'T SPECIAL UNICORNS.

This shit is why we high-key don't mention whether or not an alter is an Introject or not. Because people don't need to know. And it's not a big deal. Wake the fuck up, lovingly.

Also Introjects aren't JUST of people and characters the systems like?? Abuser Introjects exist, so problematic sourced alters are definitely not out of the question holy shit guys.

Harpir out.

really think we should start calling endos ' endotards ' because if they want to roleplay a disability so bad they get to be called ableist slurs ! <3

you are not a system without trauma.

your system did not form for any reason other than trauma.

"non-traumagenic" isn't a thing.

"traumaendo" isn't a thing.

trauma survivors shouldn't have to clarify that they're "traumagenic" because people want to roleplay on the internet.

go fuck yourself if you think that "endos" are valid. my trauma isn't a label you can wear.

you can not be a system without trauma.

Uh… yes haw I guess

Yawn

[circus-of-many-names]

to restate our thoughts on the whole number names discourse:

- extreme and organized abuse is not a culture to be appropriated, nor are number names exclusive to the context of extreme and organized abuse

- someone having a number name is not a commentary on you or anything you went through

- limiting number names to solely survivors of extreme and organized abuse just makes those survivors incredibly easy to spot, thus making them more vulnerable

- your triggers should not become the problem of someone else living their life, regardless of why they picked their name
