#(sorta like a factive)

[lovetogether]

Work shopping an oc who’s a tv head nd we are trying so hard to map out how to make them look nice… any robotic body suggestions?

[antiendosystemterms]

can i request these:

- an alter whose role is to cause mischief or (mostly harmless) trouble (i e troll)

- an alter who is tasked with managing said mischief

- an alter who is brainmade, but self-sources from media (sorta like a self-insert oc?)

- an alter whose job is to actively work against healing/ff by creating in-sys trauma and making some alters form subsystems

- an alter who is a factive of someone who caused trauma, whose role is to protect the system from triggers of that specific trauma

and can you reclaim:

- system hopping (originally meant traveling between subsystems and layers, but it was stolen by endos)

many thanks!! sorry for so many, you dont have to do all :)

I did the first few terms, all have been posted. But I wasn't comfortable reclaiming system hopping because it's actually a RAMCOA term, as far as I'm aware. It's not meant for subsystems and layers, it actually refers to jumping between side-systems /info

I may coin a term for alters who do jump between layers and subsystems later on though..

[johnono]

okay so here's the possible headmates of John Lennon. I infodumped about his plurality in general in this post (link)

(content warnings for mentions of a bunch of traumatic stuff)

this is one possible way the system could've been. there are so many possibilities, but what if...

so in the beginning there would be a few headmates like a protector and caretaker that are much needed while being passed around outerworld parental figures. there'd be a headmate who's good at following rules as a form of protection for when they're at Aunt Mimi's house. then also a headmate who fits in better at their mother's (Julia) house and is more free, and when fronting at Mimi's is rebellious. I think the Rebellious John would've been host even tho they lived at Mimi's

there would also be a headmate who I've labelled as In His Own Write John (IHOW) because he's the one who's got all the witty/dark humour and loves poetry, thinks he's a genius, and probably wrote In His Own Write (and A Spaniard In The Works) as well as the Daily Howl newspaper thing when the system was a teen. also wrote a bunch of songs like the Rubber Soul ones

then there would be Teddy Boy John who is the rocker. if there was an Elvis factive considering the way John tried to be just like Elvis, then ofc he would be fronting maybe with Teddy Boy while they're rocking. maybe that earlier Rebellious John and Elvis merged and created Teddy Boy

Julia's death in '58 would've created another trauma holder, and this guy would've been suppressed for years until the system did primal scream therapy, then the trauma holder would actually have been allowed out, and wrote songs like Mother. probably caused other shifts in the system, maybe got some angrier headmate as host, specifically a persecutor kind of guy who will drink as much as possible, for about 2 years, and then later reappear during the Lost Weekend of the 70s

there's a Jealous Guy who loves very deeply, very obsessively. as per his namesake, he would be the most jealous. would've been all over Cynthia, but then not fronting when she's not around. also there for Yoko and Paul

there's also a Horny John who is not emotionally attached like the Jealous Guy, and will fuck any girl and doesn't see a problem with infidelity. ig gets suppressed or something when the system gets with Yoko, makes some brief reappearances tho

meeting Stuart Sutcliffe would've created a new headmate just for him (*cough* they have a crush on him *cough*). the artsy introspective headmate (different to IHOW by like the vibes) who would've gone dormant after Stu's death but then reappeared after meeting Yoko

Brian Epstein whips the Beatles into shape which means Teddy Boy doesn't have the spotlight anymore, and Moptop John forms to replace him, or well, he's there for the public appearances. he maybe split directly from IHOW John so he still has that wit but he's palatable for a larger audience. writes all those early love songs. would be a protector in the way of being a buffer between the weight of fame and the rest of the system

when Julian is born, well, most the system doesn't rlly know what to do, the caretaker would probably pop in sometimes and be like guysss we have a kid remember? we need to spend time with him. but then switches out for Beatle duties (but obvi lack of knowing one is a system would manifest just as, like, oh man I suddenly am feeling really fatherly. and then forgetting about that)

there's a Guilty John who obviously holds all the guilt. another headmate would hurt someone and then the Guilty guy would front to try to fix it. he wrote Jealous Guy (mostly for Paul) and other such songs, while Working Class Hero or someone would've written How Do You Sleep on that very same album for Paul

there's a Nowhere Man who's sorta just a depressed emotionally-distant guy who's searching for,, the answer,, something. around for a while but fronts more at home during the psychedelia era, which means the Jealous Guy is around less

in the psychedelic era, the guy I will call Dr Winston O'Boogie replaces Moptop in the public appearances department. he ate acid for breakfast and helped make Sgt Pepper's and Magical Mystery Tour. he would be into Hinduism and psychedelic sort of spirituality

this feels like the spot to pop the Walrus, because the Walrus has got to be a headmate. the trouble is, the Walrus is some abstract concept that even I don't fully grasp. but maybe he's a fictive of the walrus from Alice In Wonderland, and is therefore a bastard. or he's?? maybe he's just O'Boogie. who knows

and I reckon there's a Jesus John, because somebody's gotta be the holder of that ever-growing ego. probably said he was bigger than Jesus and then Moptop had to go do damage control lol. was the one who thought he was the Second Coming that one time in the psychedelic era. basically has a fixation on Christianity, will watch preachers on the TV, and would probably decide to look for the Holy Lance so he can rule the world

Yoko would've restructured the system. there would be Joko who becomes host, and y'know I bet she's a woman. there's probably other headmates who aren't men, but I especially think Joko was a woman. and basically she's just like Yoko fr and will cling to her much more than the Jealous Guy because she wants to dissolve into Yoko. almost everyone in the system probably loves Yoko, but Joko is the most intense. or, she could be a fusion between the Stu John and Jealous Guy

there would also be the introduction of the Working Class Hero who's basically fiery about activism. if he was around before, he only became host after the end of the Beatles. quite radical, wants to strip himself of the Beatles, is anti-religion (Jesus John is still around during this guy's hosthood tho), anti-education, and otherwise anti-establishment, very peace activism and loves to yap about all his political views. in fact, he's probably split directly from Teddy Boy but is more interested in activism than being a nuisance like Teddy Boy. Joko and others probably dig activism too, but WCH is the most radical about it

and there would be the Spiritual John who maybee doesn't form for a while, maybe not even til the househusband years. but this guy is all into meditation and tarot and the planets, different to O'Boogie cuz this isn't psychedelic

there would maybe be like fragments formed from the heroin. basically a persecutor who thinks they're doing the right thing by relapsing and stuff. I'm sure there are a bunch of fragments who hold the addictions. these most persecutory headmates, along with that persecutor that formed after Julia's death, get to take a front seat for the first 9 months of the Lost Weekend which was just a bender of booze and coke and whatever else

then in the househusband era we maybe have the caretaker and Joko merge to make the Househusband. all this guy wants to do is bake bread and look after Sean and watch the wheels go round and round. he's the host from '75 til, well, the end. obviously others still front but it's mostly Househusband until 1980 when someone else pops in and starts writing songs again

annnd yeah :D there's bound to be other headmates I'm missing but this is good enough

omg I had this ex who formed a factive of our host and then cried when the factive would front at the same time as them. wild shit. I’d love a story time about your experiences tbh /nf

That is absolutely insane, hope you were able to drop them. Honestly can't wrap my head around systems like that, feels sorta self-centered too. I hope you're doing well. We knew someone who would ignore or make us feel guilty for having an Introject of the same source as them. If they both fronted at the same time it was so much worse. So I understand to a degree. We weren't able to leave them for a long time and they were just plain abusive to everyone they knew. Not sure how much we'll talk on our experiences but they have started to grow a small community on here, so there's a lot of things to consider as well. <3 /p

[evilneo]

Sorry about people being strange and bizarre on your post. ANYWAY you are so right! Just because the body identifies one way does NOT mean that alters can't identify a different way! Anyway transfem alters in AFAB bodies and transmasc alters in AMAB bodies you are ALL so fucking valid! Slightly off topic but I feel like it's sorta relevant: Factives can identify as different genders than their source! Specifying factives here because people tend to be sliiightly less weird when a fictive isn't the same gender as their source.

yea this fr!!!! PEOPLE BE NORMAL TO FACTIVES CHALLENGE. NOW!

[sincerelysys]

plural ask game!!

[questions from @plural-vrz, this is so cool!!]

✉️ - how many alters do u have? do u consider yourself to have a high headcount?

we currently have about 28 alters [including steves subsys and malicitors] and honestly i do consider it pretty high, even if ive heard of and know others that have more!!

📩 - do u have any subsystems? if so, how do they work?

yeah! we have steves [he named it the station sys], and im not entirely sure how it works but he says he manages it and runs it sorta like i do and how our partner sys does since were rlly the only example hes seen :]

📨 - are there any alter(s) who u would consider the “core”? if so, are they the host?

oh for sure!! that would def be me [remy] and yeah im the main host!!

💌 - do u have an innerworld? how complex is it?

yeah we do!! its not too complex, its kinda like the coraline other world for example!! like we have our big house, but anything past our fenced in yard is just blank!!

📧 - how does fronting work for your system? do u have a “front room”?

we consider fronting to be basically just in the fronting room, like if ur in there, then ur fronting!! and yeah that answers the other question!! ours looks like an old school nasa control room with couches and a door near the back wall opposite of the big ol screen!!

✉️ - how do u communicate with ur headmates?

if were alone we just talk out loud, but most of the time we use tupperbox in our shared discord server with our partner sys since trying to communicate in front or headspace is a lil difficult [everythings sorta fuzzy and trying to remember anything thats said is rlly hard]

📩 - do u use alter roles/labels? which ones do u use?

yeah!! we use tons but our main ones are [blank] holder, destressor, soother, caretaker, protector, punisher, and malicitor!!

📨 - who fronts the most? who fronts the least?

me and gunner front the most as were the host and cohost, and our frequent fronters are sabre, rosco, dally, steve, tex, tim, two, bodie, imani, patrick, paul, and harvey [currently] then leo and neil hardly ever front [leo because hes only positively triggered out by his source, which is our uncles cat, and neil because hes an internal archival fragment]

💌 - how often do ur hosts/fronting patterns change?

hosts are once in a blue moon and i dont entirely known what influences a change, and fronting patterns are just based on who wants to!!

📧 - how often do u switch?

im actually not sure!! im the default fronter so anyone else taking full control doesnt happen often without being planned

✉️ - do you co-front with other alters often? is co-fronting easy or difficult?

oh yeah im almost always cofronting with someone else!! since its so common i think its pretty easy!!

📩 - how long does it take for u to switch?

not long at all!! at most around a minute but usually just a few seconds!!

📨 - do ur alters have specific voice claims for what they sound like in headspace?

a few of us do like dally sounds like matt dillon and steve sounds like tom cruise, but other than that we all just go with the different pitches of the body!!

💌 - do u have any introjects? what are their sources?

unlike other hosts previous systems, we actually have more faitives/factives than fictives!! anyways their main sources consist of dallas winston, ponyboy curtis, steve randle, tex mccormick, tim shepard, and twobit mathews!! now theres lots of other partial sources for our faitives but im not abt to list all of those </3

📧 - do u have any hosts? co-hosts?

yup!! remy is our main host and gunner is our cohost!!

✉️ - if u have an innerworld, can u see into while you’re fronting?

we cant see into headspace while fronting, just the front room!!

📩 - do u use any origin/-genic terms? what are they?

yeah!! just traumagenic :]

📨 - do u have any npcs in your headspace?

nope!!

💌 - has ur system created any rules ur alters are expected to abide by?

there arent any real rules per say, just basic things like "respect each other" and whatnot, although if theres a time of front stuck and seal and we have to interact with the outside world a lot, whoevers fronting should let our safe people [people that know about our system] know in advance :]

[ramskullsys]

🧿🩸🦇🐈‍⬛🔮🧟🕯️

🧿 - Is there anyone who spends most of their time in front complaining?

-I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE QUESTION AND IM REWRITING NOW. SORRY GUY WHO WROTE THIS. ANYWAYS. 🏚️ complains a lot because he’s always pissy. 🦇 too. and 🍤 is constantly mad and hates everything so him too!!!! but a lot of us complain like, frequently. we are Annoyedddd and madddd lots

🩸 - Is there anyone who absolutely hates their source?

-again, rewriting, sorry!!! 📼 because he’s a factive of a terrible person and we can’t tell people who he’s an introject of. he tries to source separate a lot but it’s still there for him and he hates it. we only tell people we trust heavily. and 🦕 has an extreme distaste for his now because of. stuff. stresses him out. it’s that way for a lot of guys now actually, because of The Horrors and heavy associations and stuff, people are struggling with their sources+memories a lot nowadays but they’ll be okay!

🦇 - Are there any songs that you associate with systemhood/plurality or your system as a whole?

-LEMME FIND EM

“under my skin” - jukebox the ghost

“evelyn evelyn” .. - evelyn evelyn

“how to disappear completely” - radiohead (this one makes us ache severely)

“the mind electric, the soul eclectic, the heart acoustic” - all 3, chonny hash

“romantic homicide” - d4vd

“break” - three days grace

“johnny boy” - twenty one pilots (I KNOW. IM SORRY)

“trapdoor” - twenty one pilots (one of our mikes likes these. okay)

“friend, please” - twenty one pilots

“feeling small” - marianas trench

“alibis” - marianas trench

“far from here” - marianas trench. (we’re obsessed unfortunately)

“what was i made for” - billie eilish

“humpty” - mitski

“shame” - mitski

“i want you” - mitski

“you’re somebody else” - flora cash

.., i think that’s it for now. i also think we switched mid writinf this. (SORRY FOR DELETING THE ANSWERS 🦎🔪 WROTE AFTER I POPPED IN LMFAO IT WAS ACCIDENTAL) ok whatever. a lot of these aren’t even very plural coded its just how our system views tjem sometimes. 👍

🐈‍⬛- Is there anyone who identifies as otherkin/therian?

-sorta? yes? we have a lot of nonhumans! unmmm. we’re sort of unsure abt the therian label because we do not know enough about it, but the majority of us use “alterhuman” or “nonhuman” <:]

🔮 - How does your system determine who handles certain tasks/responsibilities?

-it’s based on whose most capable and most willing + close by. mostly capable, though. 🏆 fronts a lot to watch over things and take care of things even though he doesn’t like to sometimes :[ . depending on whose in front or close to it we shove the thing we have to do onto whoever wants to/can the most. ummm. one time tho we had to do scary dentist appointment and kind of pk;r’d for who would have to deal with it T__T !! we haaate it

🧟‍♂️ - Who is the most outwardly intimating? Are they viewed the same way within the system?

-mmmmm. probably A, 🐇, umm.. 🏚️?

A: he’s very intimidating in-sys and sort of out of sys. he’s quiet. he’s big and scary. we haven’t seen him in a while. but i get the feeling he’s not .. terrible. but yeah, not much of a talker and VERY LARGE AND FREAKY!!!!! SCARY!!! at least to me ig!

🐇: he might seem intimidating considering his source, his history of being a persecutor, gorewhore activities, and the way he only types in all caps 24/7 and it looks like he’s yelling at you, BUT HE’S A TOTAL LOVEBUG NOW! don’t tell it i said that. pretty please. i will die. anyways, he started off really violent but it’s grown sooo much calmer over time, he helps take care of the littles (esp the ‘odd’ ones, ones that don’t feel like normal kids due to their sources or what they enjoy. he makes them feel loved, and included, and cared for. never wants them to feel invalid as a syskid!!! ;A; ) and he’s actually pretty decentttt as a protector? it has his slip ups, unfortunately. i mean. you can’t entirely get rid of the immense desire to harm the body you’re in that you’ve had since day one. but he’s doing rly well. and he apologies when he slips up. id give him a big fat hug. it should front more again!! he’s still figuring out how to deal with the human emotions he experiences. it’s not used to them :[ but he’s learning and accepting them! NOT intimidating in sys. (… ok it is sometimes only a little bit)

🏚️: he’s intimidating probably? out of sys because he’s been known as an extremely aggressive persecutor for a while. and in-sys, too, ofc. he was not helpful during breakdowns and actively harmed us consistently so our more sensitive guys were really scared of him for a while. he’s settled down though surprisingly now that he and 🌀 have their really odd situation going on ??? i don’t know. they seem happy. 🏚️ is a lot more calmer and not actively trying to threaten or hurt us. i mean, besides 🌀, but he luvs it and we’re not actually getting fucking mental damage from it. so he’s probably less intimidating now? something that helped us be less afraid of him as well was when he found a fic that resonated with him heavily and made him very very emotional and upset. it showed us he wasn’t a being of pure malice and anger, just another fucker in our brain whose been HURTING!!! he spawned in to hurt us because we thought that’s what we deserve, i think. i think he still very heavily thinks we deserve all the suffering known to man, but he has a safe and comfortable outlet for it now?? and i think he’s getting better now that we’re all trying to improve. it’s nice. idk. ❌ is much, much less scared of him now and can be calm in front with him so that’s good!!!

🕯- Do your system's littles use "Baby Talk"?

-some of them and sometimes, when they feel comfortable. not usually like “i’m so wittle and siwwy and im baby” but like. less coherent than normal talking and sort of missing phrases, unfinished words, noises. if we were in a safer environment, i think more of our littles or sliders would just be straight up babbling frequently because it’s comfortable and feels good to them. it’s nice when they can be comfortable around people and talk how they do naturally, which can be pretty incoherent or messy depending on how relaxed they are or small. shrug. we aren’t in a safe environment for our littles or sliders to be able to relax fully and be themselves comfortably, but i hope one day we are. it’s been rly hard for them lately but supportive friends who don’t judge our kiddos help a lot. really warms our hearts when people are sweet to them. we’re very fearful of judgement because of Our History . ☹️

[compassmili]

Hi I'm pondering this guy again. Rn his weapon name is サイバー・エンド which. Comes from the title of her ace card in source (Cyber End Dragon) BUT I could also swap it to Aussitot Mort ("Nearly Dead")? Sighs I'm like the cyber element is good but also she is on death's doorstep and plays with his life every single day. It's also the name of a band it likes + Using a French term for the weapon would ALSO call back to his source bc he's a fucking. Factive of one of our old friends who was French and lived in France 😭 Idk. Opinions. If it's of any importance her weapon is a stun gun sorta like Reindeer Ishmael's weapon

[starboy-at-the-disco]

I saw you reblog a selfshipping post from me a while ago, who do you consider to be your F/O? :3

Hashtag complicated. Some of the introjects (fictives/factives) in our system consider whoever they were dating in cannon to be there f/o. So we don’t have like. One guy. I suspect the post you saw was talking bout subject B tho cuz A is the one who uses that sorta language the most lol

[egbluh]

oh cool! okay, so like I said were 8, counting the host (they count like. half) and were all "ocs" (xcept the host, thats why they count half). the first guy appeared when the host was. 14-15? as an oc first (sorta. long story) and the frist actual one that became an alter was at 17, and everyone else followed after that. im also the "dedicated yapper" lol cause I'm the only one whos willing to actually talk to people - z

inch resting. my host's first tulpa is actually a factive. it means its based on a non-fictional source, and that source is literally just the host themself. (she has sooooo many ocs based of herself)(not beating the plural allegations) and they called it her "evil alter ego" that she made at 14 as well, but its not really evil anymore. except it just loves stabbing people, especially me. i can't even feel anything, like, why bruh. lol.

eyyy, dedicated yapper buddies!!! even i have to remind the host to talk to other people online lmao. i'm also the "most annoying" guy because i won't shit the fuck up. i just looooooove talking, teehee.

[theentityvoidserver]

i love being .2 seconds away from crying because of an irl friend…

[system-society]

would there maybe be a word for a headmate who is technically a factive, but are somehow weird or different- like, for example, we have a factive of a youtuber except he showed up as the wrong species (a salamander). we don't know why he's a salamander, otherwise he's just like the rest of our factives, he just happened to become a new species upon being introjected. would there be a word for that lol

there’s stuff like fogtive!! Its sorta like an almost factive that might be what youre looking for! there’s also fuzztive which is the fictive version

[thepunmaster]

We have decided to make a new pinned post to reflect some changes, and the fact that we wish to be fully open about being a system.

Hello, we are the Puns System. We are traumagenic and have over one hundred members. Our collective pronouns are he/they/fey, and we enjoy poetry, animals, and various fandom-related things.

Our blog for original posts is @theoriginalpunmaster, and our system-related sideblog is @themanypunmasters.

We tag things as #x tw, #tw x, or #x mention. We usually tag #long post. If we reblog a version of “do you love the colour of the sky”, we tag it as #colour of the sky. If you wish for us to tag a certain thing or type of post, you need only to ask.

We would prefer if no nsfw blogs follow us.

You may send asks or message us at any time, and are, in fact, encouraged to.

Below are some of the alters who will be or are using Tumblr, and their corresponding tags. We will add to this as necessary.

#plant.posting - Parsley, he/him. This is me, and also the alter who has been writing the post thus far. I am 15 years old on average, though my age varies from 12 to 17. I am similar to an angel, though without the halo or religious connotation. I enjoy botany, the wind, and stargazing. I tend to be an aggressive protector, though we do not use many labels.

#fishbitch>D - yo i m Meenah from Beforus, ey/em/eir, fish/fishself, or water/waterself. i m a homestuck fictive obviously but dont ask me why the brain chose me 2 b all fleshed out + almost a host instead of anenome of the other trolls we have cuz idk. >D looks like a fish n i think thats cool

#eclipse.text - this will be the tag for the time subsystem, we all use he/him and xi/xim/xir pronouns. dark thyme (that’s me) is 17, likes tea, and enjoys playing minecraft. i’m the one who will probably be using tumblr the most out of us three. light thyme is somewhere between 5 and 9, he really likes chocolate and we might make a sideblog for him (and other littles) to reblog stimboards and animal pictures on, and other things like that. gray thyme is a 12 year old cryptid, he rarely fronts and i have no idea what he likes.

#pattoncakes! - I’m Patton, she/them! I’m a very upbeat, positive alter! I’m a fogtive of Patton Sanders (Sort of in between a fictive (alter based on a fictional character) and a factive (alter based on a real person), in a way that makes it confusing which one I am or how much of each I am!) I like dad jokes and cats!

#pearlescentperegrine - absynthe, they/them and si/sin/sir, im a winged person (hence the tag “pearlescent peregrine”) from an alternate sorta victorian-era england where some people have wings an stuff. i like watchin hermitcraft

#anon.txt - This will be used for alters who do not wish to reveal themselves, when we are blurred and are not aware of who is fronting, and other reasons that we/an alter would stay anonymous.

[fenmere]

Our layers of internal identity, and how they relate to outworld concepts.

What kind of beings we are: ktletaccete, parents of the ktletaccete, or outsiders (walk-in spirits)

Genders: girl, dragon, and id monster

Arts ("kintype" sorta): dragon, monster, wolf, hare, human, etc.

The kind of being we are relates to our fundamental natures and origins. Either we were born with the body, in the body, or entered the body from the outside (invited in). We do not perceive any of ourselves to be typical human souls.

Gender, for us, is a brain thing. Some of our physical dysphoria is related to it and some is not.

Hemisphere or section of the brain seems to dictate gender, & we each reside in a locality of the brain. So those of us squarely in the right hemisphere find that we are girls & experience dysphoria from being misgendered in relation to that. Same for dragons & left hemisphere.

Then, we are almost all shapeshifters, us ktletaccete at least. And we each have our Arts, the things that we have dedicated ourselves to. Like a special interest it is at once a skill, an area of study, a passion, and an identity. And for many, many of us our Art includes being something. Like, our equivalent to factive and fictive introjects each have "the art of being like my subject."

So, our Venom, for instance, is a ktletaccete who is an id monster whose Art is studying and modeling the behavior of Venom from the movies.

"Ktletaccete" can be translated from its original Fenekere meaning to something like "Descendant of Jenifer and Eh" or "Dragon of the Arts", though it also describes something very, very specific that is what we are, and that no one else can be.

It's not a species.

Species has to do with taxonomic classification of life. Species, to us, has to do with our body, or what our body should be.

Ktletaccete, ideally, are capable of making & inhabiting human bodies, as they are of any other kind of lifeform (if magic & godlike powers were real), for want of a better way of explaining this sense of our nature.

To us, Ktletaccete describes a type of mind, soul, or spirit. Whatever you believe in. It is more akin to either angel and demon, or autistic and ADHD, than to wolfkin or elfkind. It is not a therian identity so much as it is a spiritual identity.

But, by the very nature of us ktletaccete being speciesless shapeshifters whose Arts are being various different creatures (including humans), we are inherently therian or otherkin by outsider definitions of those words.

Anyway, we also don't see any of this as any more special or powerful than what any other conscious being is, no matter how they (or you) are classified or identify. It's just us, and the key to how we have always experienced being in this world.

[ari-the-cisnt]

OH !!! tell us about flippy's alters!!! i love seeing when people give him more alters :D /pos

Oh. My gosh. This took forever /nm

Thank you for asking though! I’ve been dying to finally share the other alter ideas! (Ignore the fact I spelt Fliqpy’s name wrong for the last pic. It was rushed.) (Just some other facts about the alters under cut)

Friz is a factive (factive is when an alter is based on a real person correct? I’ll edit it if I’m wrong!) child alter based on Flippy’s younger brother who passed away. Flippy didn’t have a very great childhood due to shitty parents and home situations so Friz is an alter that sorta helps him have a bit of a childhood. He usually only fronts for about 10-15 minutes until Flippy is fine. Only Flaky, Cuddles, Lumpy, and Petunia know about him. (Petunia and Flippy are close friends in the AU, please ask about this!)

Fliq goes by he/they/it pronouns. Since as of now this blog is based before Flippy and Flaky actually start going out; Fliq is not dating Flaky but feels the same towards them as Flippy does. Although he has ADD he’s learned to control it a bit and really only gets forgetful (this is partially based off my dad who also has ADD btw)

Fliqpy doesn’t interact with the others all that much and only Flaky, and Splendont know about her. And the very few unknown creatures who have tried to cause physical harm to Flippy. She keeps the body safe and is much more organized than the other alters. She was the one who fronted in the W.A.R journal ‘series‘.

the pictures shown above are what they look like in headspace. While fronting they look like Flippy just with different eye colours and (depending on who it is) no buck-teeth. Obviously when it comes to DID irl that’s not how it works but they live in a town where they die and come back the next day. It’s just magic! (But please know and understand that this is NOT how it would work irl)

SIGH I wrote a lot! And there is probs gonna be really stupid grammatical errors but oh well!
