⏰ — tempus / tempus alter ; a term for alters/headmates that only front/become active during certain parts of the year (trauma anniversaries, holidays, birthday, etc.).

this could be due to trauma, being triggered out by holidays/enjoying holidays or simply because they tend to front during that period of time.

a term for my partner. :] I feel like theres a term like this?? If there is, please don't consider this a recoin!!!

🪞 — mirror splits ; a term for headmates that split specifically to mirror another alter, or are incredibly similar to another alter in the system. these headmates could have the same name, pronouns, role, or identity as the person they split off of- but they don't have to.

in our experience, this has been displayed via our hosts being incredibly similar, "mirrored" splits of each other. typically these headmates will replace the host as primary host, and give the original alter a break.

[ pt; "mirror splits" end pt ]

a term for both me, myself & a close friend. :] I can't find a flag or definition for it but I've used it on myself for a few years now? so maybe someone else will get some use out of it.

🦖 — dinosaur syskid ; a flag for syskids who love dinosaurs, see themselves as a dinosaur, or simply feel attached to dinosaurs for whatever reason.

[ pt; "dinosaur syskid" end pt ]

i made this for my headmate so she could have a sys-specific version of an agere term she wanted to make. hi shelly! :]

[elpisflags]

👁️ — stalker ; a role in which an alter formed primarily to keep track of/"monitor" other people or holds the systems compulsive urges to stalk other people.

they could be obsessed w/ their fp, former friends, or simple people their brain won't allow them to distance from.

[ pt; "stalker" end pt ]

this was made with pw/ cluster b disorders + ocd in mind but is not exclusive to them! i do not condone stalking, i simply wanted a term that explained our compulsions. :]

[elpisflags]

🍎 — social anxiety symptom holder ; a term to describe an alter whos role is to hold social anxiety, and the symptoms that come with it. a social anxiety holder may experiences symptoms of anxiety or fear more frequently & severely than other members of the system.

⌛ — bpd symptom holder ; a term to describe an alter whos role is to hold bpd symptoms & traits. a bpd holder may experience symptoms of their disorder more frequently & severely than other members in the system.

[ pt; "bpd symptom holder" end pt ]

this is a remake of my original bpd holder flag! (link) i wasn't too crazy about my original design & wanted to do it some justice.

want to see more of my bpd terms? Check out black split holder (link) + white split holder! (link)

🔁 — inconsishost / rotational host ; an inconsishost is a type of host who is inconsistent with their fronting and/or host role- or "rotates” with different hosts in the system. They may front a lot and even be considered the “main host”, and then vanish the next day for a prolonged period of time.

someone could be an inconsishost/rotational host for a lot of reasons— but in our experience our inconsishosts get frontstuck for long periods of time, then take long breaks from fronting- switching their position with another similar headmate until they're able to host again.

[ pt; "inconsishost/rotational host" end pt ]

this is not a term we coined & this is not a recoin!! the description is paraphrased from the inconsishost pluralpedia description. (link) we just wanted a version of the flag we personally made :]

[ pt; "this is not a term we coined & this is not a recoin! the description is paraphrased from the inconsishost pluralpedia description. (link)" end pt ]

Hi, is there any possibility that you could do straight line versions of ur alter role flags

YEAH ABSOLUTLEY. I'm sorry about not including them previously, I totally fell out of habit w/ adding them. Here's the links to the updated versions that didn't already have a straight line version.

attention seeker (link) vortex (link) parrot (link) masculinity holder (link) femininity holder (link)

if i missed any or forget in the future, feel free to reach out again. thank you for reminding me! :]

[elpisflags]

📣 — attention seeker ; a headmate who purposefully seeks out attention, typically in the form of dramatic displays of emotion, outbursts of emotions/behaviors, or excessive clinginess.

they may do this due to a headmate or systems needs not being met, to create a commotion during an abusive or otherwise unsafe situation, to force the system into social situations, or simply to create drama/problems or make friends.

[pt; "attention seeker" end pt ]

this term was made with people w/ personality disorders or emotion/mood-dysregulation disorders in mind- but any system can use it.

[ pt; "this term was made with people w/ personality disorders or emotion/mood-dysregulation disorders in mind- but anyone can use it." end pt ]

this term is one that i personally hold VERY dear to me, so i wanted to make it a flag. the description is paraphrased from @system-term-storage. here is the original post as well.

[elpisflags]

i just needed to say your blog is a life saver!! all your terms being archived here is such a tremendous help for us,, we really appreciate it and plan to go through all of your sys terms to see if anything we've been struggling to understand might have a name!!!! -📜&⛲️

AW I'M REALLY GLAD!!! I like to make sys terms to put words to experiences we have and I'm glad it resonates w/ other people.

🌀 — vortex ; a term for a fronter who makes it feel like there's nobody in front, even if they are there. they leave a "black hole" like feeling in front, the in-between of being somebody and nothing.

[ pt; "vortex" end pt ]

coined with my friend in mind, because he asked me to. Hi Hayden :D

[elpisflags]

🦜 — parrot ; a flag for alters who "parrot" others & are restricted by their parrot-like speech. their speech could be primarily built up of repeating noises around them, or building sentences based on things they've heard.

this term can apply to any alter who feels seen by it.

[ pt; "parrot" end pt ]

I swear I've seen this term before, but I mostly made this with my friend in mind & one of my headmates.

[elpisflags]

hai do u mind if your terms are uploaded on pluralpedia??? esp the holder terms :D

hi thanks for asking bc I considered doing this myself but if you'd like to upload my terms to pluralpedia feel free! Just let me know what you upload & credit me properly, thank you :]

[elpisflags]

🌊 — masculinity holder ; a flag for alters/headmates who hold the systems masculinity. this could be due to being trans, alleviating dysphoria- or simply being more inclined to masculine identities for whatever reason.

[ pt; "masculinity holder;" end pt ]

This is not a recoin, this is simply an alt flag.
