This User Romanticizes Their [Plurality Trait] Userboxes

We're sick of plurmisics and exclusionism and, as you can probably see from the last few posts, we absolutely were going through our old google photos. Anyways -- here you all go, we can't find the endogenic one so like, wdk maybe we'll have that eventually:

Hey, it’s not your fault. You were just a kid. You may still BE a kid. But I know a few things for certain:

You didn’t ask to be born into this world.

You didn’t ask to be treated the way that you were treated—whether it was by bullies, parents, or other family members.

You didn’t ask to “be a burden” to your caregivers, you deserved that space to be loved and safe

You didn’t ask for your consent to be broken.

You didn’t ask for the shame and guilt someone put you through.

You aren’t bad for something happening to you. You aren’t your trauma.

I’m sorry if you were ever made to feel that way, and I know that may never mean much coming from a stranger, but I know it’s something I wish I heard more.

Reminder that you can wholeheartedly love your system and sysmates and still have days where you feel tired of being a system. Sometimes being a system makes hard days easier, but sometimes it makes them harder, and that’s okay too.

I wonder if anyone else feels like they've only started existing since they where like. 12-13

Like, I feel like I've only been existing since maybe 12, but I have memories from before that age that are DEFINITELY mine, but it's also sort of hard to tell what age I've really started existing by, since I'm an introject of our literal body, it's just so.. Confusing? Is this a normal experience? Does ANYONE exist before those ages? Does anyone actually exist before the personality (tries) finishing it's weird stuff or??

[theswiftheartsystem]

Plural culture is thinking you’re just genderfluid and abrosexual, and fluid with pronouns, and change interests back and forth very quickly, and just randomly changing names because you just decided you don’t like that other one and this one’s so much better, then changing it back, and-

(even without these things you are still valid💙)

No, you're not.

Hot take but I don’t think when a system is asked to take accountability it’s always the systems fault. First of alters are always there for a reason they form from when we are in a stressful situation or need care/protect/gatekeep etc etc. a lot of the times I’ve been called out for my system “acting out” was whenever my “interact with caution” alter would be fronting or the ones that you’re not allowed to talk to at all. But despite this boundary people would still provoke or try to talk to that specific alter despite us as a system recommending not to do that for that exact reason. Now I don’t say what my alter did www right (insulted my friends threatened and harassed people) but if our boundaries could’ve just been respected and you wouldn’t of have provoked such an aggressive alter this whole thing could’ve been avoided. See,now I don’t say it’s an excuse but it’s rare that alters act out for no reason. Most of the time it’s because they feel threatened or scared so they behave strangely or act out. For me personally our alters like that can be normal as long as you treat them normally or are very cautious with them. Whenever people tell me “x alter did —-“ my first question is on what happened. I doubt my avenger alter would’ve harassed someone for fun! I mean their whole role is being an avenger. Besides they are normal to people outside the system if they don’t feel scared so whenever I get reports like that I honestly can’t feel like I am in the wrong for it. You provoked, talked, scared and aggressive/sensitive alter and they responded badly. What did you expect honestly?

No matter what if my system caused serious damage for no reason (which has never happened there was always a reason as to why my alters did “bad stuff”) I will take accountability and even if they did bad stuff for good reasons I will take accountability but I won’t ever feel sympathy for you if you know alters like that act out and still enable them.then get mad that they react like they do. That’s your fault. Fuck around find out

Hot Take (???)

I'm seeing less and less love for OSDD 1a type systems

(Obligatory "OSDD 1a and b don't really exist", but going to add in that I think it should all be combined into one diagnosis anyways)

So, gentle reminder

They exist and are still systems. They belong in this community and face unique challenges with amnesia-causing fragments and states.

I see you.

You belong.

For my fellow systems out there, what are some songs you feel like are system coded? I have an artist on spotify that actually focuses on DID-related songs, but so many songs have similar themes!

JennySYS: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07Cv5xnQPdvpF3JrLT3y5U?si=uMus1B7NQ6ipgXYZOINYjw

System artist!!!

Their music has a lot of different vibes

Songs that feel system coded OR hit different as a system:

My goal is to share some music people haven’t heard or open you guys up to listening to it in a different way! I think I might make a side blog for this stuff too to share a song every day :)

[clutching-our-plurals]

Hey fellow plurals, are you up to sharing some experiences?

We're curious! How did you first become aware of your system?

If that's too vague, what first caused you to suspect something was up? And what was the last straw where you were like "oh we can't just ignore this"? If you had a moment like that.

[deathsanubis]

I finally confessed to my doctor about being a system.

She was super supportive about it. She told me how she hated the way the media misrepresents systems.

I proceeded to just…

Media: “DON’T COME NEAR ME! I AM THE DANGEROUS ALTER! I WILL HURT YOU!”

Reality: “NO! We cannot have cheese puffs. We JUST brushed our teeth!”

Guide to Pluralkit

So pluralkit is a tool used very commonly for plural systems. Basically what it does is proxy who’s speaking (this can have an alters name, pronouns, a custom profile picture, ect.) it’s very easy to use once you get the hang of it!

Step 1. Make yourself a private discord server. The reason why is because that way it’s easier to edit and save what you need in the server.

after this you will need to add pluralkit to the server. You can do this by going to the website (https://pluralkit.me) or clicking the bot in a server you share with it, and adding it to your server.

Okay so after that, set up your server. All it needs is the channels you guys need. Obviously general can be whatever, we use it for bot commands. Would recommend a system chat channel, especially if you cannot speak internally. Other channels that might be helpful, or channels to store picrews and things of that nature, we have one for storing alter intros, if you don’t want to have a psychical diary, you could start one in the private server, and basically anything you need. The idea is that this server only has you guys in it

Step 2. Okay so you’ll need to set up a system now. To get started you’ll need to do pk;s new keep in mind you can only have one system per discord account, and only 1k members (we have heard you can request more in the discord server, but we haven’t tried it ourselves)

Most system servers require a system tag. To set one you do pk;s tag (tag here) tags can be anything in a character limit. Ours is 💙. Some servers don’t like when people have the same tag, so if you need to change it in a server you can do pk;s server tag (tag here)

After setting up your system to add a member you do pk;m new (members name) keep in mind you want it to be one word with no spaces or hard to use symbols. This is so it’s as easy as possible to edit. Also would like to add, if you throw in a image while doing this command, it will set that alters avatar without having to do another command (image below is a random image we had saved) if you are like us, and have alters that share names, it’s best to just add a number (no space still) infront, this makes it way easier to edit.

To set up a display name you do pk;m (members name) dn (what you want it to say, we normally have name and pronouns, and if a alter has like a specific role in the system, sometimes that gets added if the alter wants it)

If you accidentally set the wrong profile picture, or a alter wants a different one for whatever reason, the command is pk;m (name) avatar and then insert the photo

Finally to set a proxy do pk; (member name) proxy (proxy here)text (the text can also be behind the poxy, it just has to be behind or above) proxys can be anything basically! We usually use emojis, although whatever you do, make it something you don’t use. For emojis we have one or two emojis typically that represent the alter, and then the blue heart emoji in front that way if it’s a emoji we use a lot, it isn’t going to proxy us by accident. You can either do the proxy everytime you speak, or do a few commands.

Pk;ap latch this latches to the last used proxy. Good when one alter is having a conversation, but others aren’t.

Pk;ap (name) this latches to the alters name that is used. Does not change until turned off, or switched to a different alter, or auto proxy command.

Pk;ap front this command sets whoever is set as fronting as the auto proxy. The front is set by doing pk;switch (name) To turn off all of these the command is Pk;ap off

Step 3. With pluralkit you can add alters to groups!

To make a group you do pk;g new (groups name) like with the base names you want it to be one word, no spaces or weird symbols.

with groups you can set display names, descriptions, avatars, just for that group!

pk;g description (put the description you want with the command)

pk;g avatar (photo)

pk;g dn (name)

To add members to the group do pk;g (groups name) add (name) (name 2) you can add as many as you want, just make sure to not use commas or and, just name after name separated by a space

Step 4. To set a system/alter description and banner is pretty easy.

For system:

pk;s description (desc goes here)

pk;s banner (add image)

For Alters:

pk;m (name) description (desc goes here)

pk;m (name) banner (add image)

Step 5. Finally, some good commands to just know.

If you react with a question mark emoji on an alter using pluralkit, it gives you information about the person. (Username, ect)

If you have a member you feel needs to be private the command is pk;m (name) private

to delete a member you do pk;m (name) delete and then enter in the code it gives you

to change a alters base name, (not dn) do pk;m (name) rn (new name)

A fun little pluralkit game is going “pk;r (random silly thing here)” Pk;r randomly picks a alter, so putting a random caption over it can be fun sometimes.

if you do set a alters name as something with a space, you’ll have to edit it in qoutes. (Pk;m “Example name with a space” (command)

to look up a list of alters do pk;m list or pk;s list

Thanks for reading! Pluralkit is confusing at first, so we thought we would make a simple guide!
