hi hi hello this was 100% inspired by @natalgenic-culture-is! this blog is intended specifically for parents, guardians, and/or pregnant family members* that being said i won't frown if you're an eresian lol; eresians can go to natalgenic-culture-is for specifics!

*as long you have kids and take care of kids within system you can send culture-is asks here regardless of label or role (if any)!

you're free to ask questions, as well, we always are here to educate if we can!

we're pro endogenic/non-traumagenic and any form of exclusionism is not welcome here! also, when you send in asks please try and not use typing quirks and/or translate them. if you can't we'll do it for you if we can understand you!

we tag sign offs, but we don't keep track of them, so if there's copies we won't bother to keep tabs.

this blog is ran by @thesillybunch, but specifically the host angel (she/they/it/soft)! softs blog is @sympatheticangel, angel is front sticky so most of the conversation will be with her!

also, angel, said host, is currently pregnant within the system and pregnancy will be a topic of interest on this blog! angel takes the pregnancy as seriously as one would in meatspace, respect this!

Natalgenic: Born in-sys Eresian: A headmate born of one or more members of the system.

Hello! Welcome to our first culture-is blog!

You can call us SOA, it/hy, NO they/them, NO it&/you&, NO human terms.

We are pro-endo and also run @syscord-out-of-context, @plural-rambles, @headmate-polls and @aquarius-bah with an official Discord server.

List of anon sign-offs here. Tagging system here.

Promo tags under the cut! Let us know if you'd like to be removed :]

Hello! This is poll-based blog for fun kinds of polls about headmates! We will make ones about ourselves, and you can also submit your own.

You can call us SOA, it/its and hy/hym [auxillary he/him], NO they/them or it&/you& type pronouns, non-human and masculine terms only. We also run @syscord-out-of-context and @plural-rambles.

We are pro-endo, naturally so is the blog, but it is not enforced that anti-endos DNI. We just ask everyone to be respectful and keep syscourse out of the blog content.

Submission guidelines and tagging system under the cut!

Anonymity will be the default! If you want to be tagged [@ and #] let us know which blog/s.

Some examples of poll types this blog will host:

Smash or pass / hot or not

Kiss, Marry, Kill / Wed, Bed, Behead

Bracket wars! with any topic of what they're fighting for.

It does not need to be a game! Those are just what I currently want and can think of.

Suggestive/NSFW topics are fine, NSFW media is not.

Some kind of picture of the headmate is strongly encouraged but not required. Can be canon media, fanart [with credit if possible], Picrew, particularly for the SoP and KMK.

Include some kind of blurb about the headmate. Up to you what to include or not. Name and pronouns and something about personality I would say is 'minimum' personally but up to you! Plus it depends on the poll type. If you want SoP to be just looks-based for example.

Tagging system!

Poll type will be tagged

'anonymous' will not be tagged but if requested, the blog [or anon signoff] will be

If ever applicable, TW tags will be in 'trigger tw' format.

'nsfw' but not 'nsft'

'submission'

We will also sign the headmate processing the post with '-- Name || pro/nouns' as well as the date it was was processed with '-- XX Month 202X'

Tagging for boosts! -- @plural-polls @plurr-polls @fictive-culture @headspace-polls @plural-questioning @fictionfolk-safehaven @funnier-as-a-system @funnier-as-a-fictive

Intro Post

Hello! This sideblog was created and is ran by a tulpagenic system with all walk-in tulpas! We made this side blog so we can better answer questions, and so tulpamancers have a safe place to submit posts and the like!

(This intro post will be updated and added too as time progresses, as well as a link to a 'claimed sign-offs' post will be made once we get some regular anons.)

Anti endo and anti tulpa, please go away unless you are curious and will not spread hate. This is our safe space, ask questions and we shall answer as best as we can from our perspective.

This blog has only one admin currently (which is a tulpagenic system) so please bear with us for the time taken to respond to asks and the like. We won't sign off which of us is responding as we wish to remain anonymous ourselves, but we shall try our best to help with any queries or questions.

Please use they/them for us all, thank you.

-Admin System

[pluralasking]

Hello! Welcome to Plural Rambles, a place where you can talk about anything any everything you want about your system and experiences with it.

Oftentimes you wanna talk about things but feel unsafe, uncomfortable or awkward talking about them on your own blog. This is a place where you can do that with hopefully a little less anxiety, especially since now anonymity is an option.

Credit to @wonderhorror-sys for the idea.

-

We are SOA, it/he, masc and non-human terms ONLY, NO they/them or it&/you&.

We also run @syscord-out-of-context.

We are pro-endo; the blog has no DNI. Just don't be a dick.

Guidelines, tagging system and promo tagging under the cut.

-

Guidelines:

[PT: Guidelines:]

You can NOT post:

Discourse, fakeclaiming, blaming or bashing on any topics.

Anything advocating for external violence toward anyone.

Anything super explicit [sex or gore/violence].

Talk of being actively suicidal.

You CAN post:

NSFW in moderation. So, you can talk in some detail about what you do if it's relevant. But don't submit like, smut levels of detail? If you're unsure, feel free to DM it first for clarification. [Again this goes for both sex and gore/violence.]

As @fictive-culture puts it, "unconventional" in-sys relationships and experiences. We also recommend @fictionfolk-safehaven for this as well.

Vents, rants, trauma and negative experiences to your comfort level and appropriateness assessment.

IDEAS of what kinds of things you can ramble about:

Headspace! Layouts, maps, functions, in-sys abilities, etc.

Relationships! Talk about your people, talk about how relationships form, talk about dynamics, gush about how much you love your people.

Origins and syscovery

Roles and abilities

Identities of any kind

Theories and projects

Special mention of religion, you should join @the-haven-keepers-collective's Discord server to be part of an essay on religion and plurality 🤎.

Et cetera! Whatever else.

Reminder that your posts don't need to have form or make sense, you can just ramble and get it off your mind if you need to. If you've got word salad to any degree that's also fine, you're all welcome here 🤎.

Also, submissions can be as long or short as you see fit.

AND if your submission involves any pictures but you want to be anonymous, you can say so at the beginning and we will post it ourselves, just like on @syscord-out-of-context.

Any hate, jusgement or harassment anywhere on the blog will be deleted and blocked.

-

Tagging System:

[PT: Tagging System:]

'nsfw' but not 'nsft'. Will also have 'gore and violence' if applicable.

Rather than 'unconventional' we will tag 'taboo', alongside whichever taboo is applicable such as 'cw incest' or 'cw age gap'.

Other common or requested triggers will be tagged as [for example] 'murder tw' unless they also fall under taboo cw or 'gore and violence' tags.

'vent post' for any vents, rants, traumadumping or negativity.

All of these will be added generously just in case. None of them are judgements, they are just to allow other people to filter.

Other tags include:

submission, ramble

not a ramble, maintenance, off topic

'-- Name || pro/nouns' for the headmate processing the submission

'anonymous', anon tag or username will also be tagged

-

Promo tags: Can we get a boost?

[pt: Answers to: Post #108 (System Rules)]

Since these were not posted yet, sorry about that. I hope you enjoy, and that to some, this might be helpful. This is a very long post.

Note that some of these include potentially triggering subjects. Some of these topics include: alcohol, smoking / nikotin, drugs, intrusive thoughts (about inappropriate relationships / feelings), and slurs.

Please read carefully.

"If you choose to eat it, you must front during the gastrointestinal consequences."

"No birds in the house."

"Check the archive to see how much caffeine we've had today before consuming more caffeine."

"Don't get us arrested without unanimous consent of all frequent fronters."

"Decisions that affect our general wellbeing in major ways should be discussed as a group."

"No matter what skin color, mental disability or any other factor that gives you rights to a slur you should not say that slur if the body isn't allowed to say that."

"No using profanity or crude language outside of headspace but, avoid saying many curses in front of headmates under 14."

"Respect alters boundaries."

"If you are at front and a new alter shows up, please tell them what is going on and help them set up a profile on Plural kit & Simply Plural."

"Anyone our announcers and or gatekeepers have marked off limits , we aren’t allowed to talk to OR we have to be cautious around."

"As a system we have a very high justice system. Not In the way we have trials but in the way we have councilmen for every layer of the system. The rule is to always respect the rules of the overseer in that layer. Not in a dictator or whatever way , just like make sure to keep the place clean and shit."

"If you have a job in headspace you should always make sure it’s something that doesn’t require money (we don’t have such a thing in headspace). If you have a job related to that we just have trades or give stuff away for free."

"If you encounter anyone that’s not the main partner in our partner system , just be safe n ignore em unless they say hi"

"Always go to a higher up if you want a prnscc made or a card or an anything like that."

"Anarchy: no hierarchies, no one is "in charge", no one "owns" the body or life, collaborative, consenting, compassionate."

"Take care of the little."

"Respect our collective friends."

"Avoid damaging the body (e.g. no smoking)"

"Respect each other's beliefs, privacy, and wishes/boundaries. Don't try to disprove everyone you disagree with. Don't go trying to recall other people's memories, or try to watch when they want privacy."

"Maintaining the body + the singletsona are of utmost importance. Follow the pre-set routine as best as possible when involved in front."

"Don't be a dick. Especially do not be a dick to the short list of system friends; they are the trusted few and these relationships are to be preserved. Before engaging in public spaces make sure you know or can otherwise internally access the local etiquette. Do not damage or remove meatspace belongings. Respect closed doors within headspace."

"The external world does not have the same understanding that the internal one does- some things must be hidden for the continued peace and/or online safety of the system. (eg, Fakename1, bi lesbian, should not get involved with identity discourse. Fakename2, a fictive who was considered a grown adult in her source world but is a minor in this one, cannot interact with nsfw spaces/content and express her sexuality without claiming the body's age instead of her own.)"

"We made it a rule to not get apps or make purchases online without consulting others. This is in part to help make sure impulse purchases are less likely, as well as to help give some protection against viruses and such."

"We use Lighthouse, which allows each member to keep their own private journal. We made an agreement that we wouldn't look at anyone else's journal without their express permission, which we don't ask for unless we have to. This is primarily so we don't have to deal with individual passwords, but we've also carried this over onto other sites, such as chatrooms on Simply Plural, which are chats that are meant for us to have private conversations, and no one is allowed to look in a chatroom they aren't a part of unless invited in another channel."

"We decided that we would keep any and all in-system romantic relationships private. We've seen a lot of people being weird about them, and we didn't want to deal with that. We made this rule when two of our members decided to start dating. We've considered extending this rule to *any* in-sys relationship, as we've seen others being weird about even siblings who are siblings in-source, but at the moment it's just romantic relationships we keep private."

"Our main rule is no self-harm that could permanently damage the body, and no putting the body in situations you know are dangerous."

"As an adult system, we do allow our system members to drink, but the rules remind them that the body's tolerance is low. As drugs including weed are illegal where we live, it is against the system rules to have them, or smoke nicotine."

"Follow server rules is another one, which includes a subclause about persecutors not being an asshole to people we like to try to push them away."

"In our system we allow tattoos, piercings, and hair dye, but we ask that system members think about what would look nice on the body rather than just what they want. We kinda view the body as a dress up doll."

"Be kind and considerate to other members and to people outside the system unless necessary / it's to avoid harm to another or ourselves - this includes asking everyone involved with something that happened for permission for sharing details about said thing, especially ones that are more personal to them, not joking about, say, someone's source if they don't want it even mentioned, etc."

"if there are walk-ins asking to join the system (because our system works like that,) we need to make sure everyone consents to them being around, ESPECIALLY people who oppose them / the orgs they're a part of insource (ex: our hsr boothill fictive when considering IPC members, etc.) we can't exactly just disengage if we're uncomfortable, as our ability to hold our mental tongues / walk away from insys conversation is unreliable at best and just useless at worst, so we're extra careful with who we consider part of the system."

"no claiming to be Literally Part of X Culture when we're bodily not. members can, like, unclaim our bodily race / culture if they feel like it - most of us don't resonate with the body's ethnic experience, even if we do live it - but claiming to be say, black when we're actually 100% not black will never be on the table. this also means no joking about other people being X race, no making comments, etc."

"no purposely using slurs / derogatory terms towards other members or other people irl. if we know something is a slur and someone uses it as an insult knowing it's a slur, that's breaking this rule."

"no yelling or screaming / argue quietly and don't be mean about it, even if someone's being stupid. this one actually started as a way to tiptoe around trauma triggers (waves in trauma holder host) but then we realized that this has 100% helped our own conflict resolution skills and made it an actual thing."

"if someone brings up something they want to do and the brain pushes back, it's off the table 100% until further notice. we have autistic PDA so it's not like it's just a preference; we literally can't branch out that much."

"if two people are hanging out alone in front and are not partners, they must call another person to be a "buffer" the moment someone catches intrusive feelings for another, especially if they're siblings and/or if one is an adult and the other is a minor. i know!! this sounds extremely problematic! so some context: sometimes, our OCD will force members to get crushes on other members, especially if the one of them is being hyperfixated on, and it's always with people that cannot date without one or both going to jail. **it's not something we want**; it shows up and goes away at random and everyone involved hates it the entire time, but we have to deal with it anyway so that's why we have this rule. attempts to just. walk away from co-con for the time being and wait it out just don't work because they'll just teleport back, so we call up a buffer (90% of the time one of the people involveds' actual partner, because of course the brain chooses people in existing relationships too) to distract the brain with jangly headmate-shaped keychain."

"No one is allowed to touch alcohol or drugs."

"Do not intentionally do anything to harm self or others."

"Cursing is banned(with exceptions for words we are more comfortable with)."

"Any breaking of the rules will result in a temporary ban from fronting or certain areas of the inner world depending on where the rule breaking took place."

"All other major decisions must be put to a vote"

"Take the meds everyday"

"Respect the headmates' relationships"

"Respect the body"

"Reach out to our partner systems if needed or in danger"

Notice

[pt: Notice]

Hello, I'd like to talk around the point here, but I'll summarize it to the best of my abilities.

This blog was created by a headmate of ours, called Love. Love has started fronting less and less, causing her to only leave ideas for posts and letting someone else create the actual posts and take care of the blog.

After a lot of talking with Love and decision making, we decided to put this blog to rest - in a sense. Coming up with questions is very exhausting and mixed with bad mental health - it just doesn't work anymore.

If we receive questions in our inbox, we'll post them - but otherwise, this blog will become silent. We just don't have the energy for it anymore, and some of us have other blogs they'd prefer to focus their energy on.

I hope you understand. Thank you for the support over the 125 days and thank you for 852 followers.

idk what you mean by helpless, did you use the wrong word or something?

(you don't have to publicly reply to this ask btw, you could just edit the text or something)

Helpless as in I wasn't sure what answers to add to the poll, since I feel that recently some people were unhappy with the answer options i provided. English is not my first language, so I lack a word that fits better, so I used "helpless". I'm sorry for the confusion. I removed the word. /gen
