LockHost

Ive been looking for a system term to describe myself for a while, and decided fuck it we ball and made one myself

A lockhost is an alter in a system that seems to be the 'main' host, and is almost always fronting. They may also decribe themself as 'front-locked' or 'front sticky,' but this may not always be the case. They may be able to leave front or the front area, but are usually aware of whats going on with front anyways, and they are quite often pulled back to front within a short period of time. Because of this, they usually become the bodies 'main identity' in a system.

Other alters may use the identity of the lockhost as a mask in the case that they do not want to show themself, and may also interact with or control the body via the lockhost. In the case of a lockhost being an introject, it would not be uncommon for several doubles of the lockhosts source to also be present in the system.

Lockhosts may also act similarly to 'Observers,' in that they are always aware of the body to some degree, and can quickly be pulled to front in the case that they happen to not be fronting in the traditional sense. The lockhost may also serve many other roles in the system, but not always.

In the case of a lockhost also being part of a subsystem or side system, they may or may not be a lockhost of those as well.

!!!THIS CREATOR OF THIS TERM IS PRO ENDO. I CANNOT STOP ANTI-ENDOS FROM USING IT BUT DO NOT INTERACT WITH ME OR MY POSTS OR I WILL BLOCK. ENDO NEURTALS ARE FINE TO INTERACT. PLEASE RESPECT OUR BOUNDARIES!!!

We are aware that there is a similar term to this that was made by an anti endo, however this term was coined without knowledge of the post existing. Do with that info what you will, keep us out of discourse. And like we said before, we don't care who uses this term, but we ask that anti endos not reblogged so we don't get dragged into discourse.

SYSTEM / ALTERS ALTERNATIVE TERMS

[ 🧪 ] SCIENTIST THEMED

[ system ] — laboratory, study, observatory, amalgamation, department, cranium, organism, test site, cerebrum, nucleus, composite, datum, synthesis

[ alters ] — experiments, tests, chemicals, subjects, labrats, reactions, atoms, vials, beakers, cells, variables, theories, particles, synapses, hypotheses, creations, modules, molecules

( @disrealities was the epic inspiration btw really cool system terms )

[plural-affirmations]

Hey! Do you use terms for your system besides "headmate", "alter", or "facet"? This post is for you!

Shoutout to:

Systems that use the term "system member" or "sysmate"!

Those who choose "part", "piece", or "aspect"!

The ones out there who use "pluralian", "pluralment", and "pluret" are so cool!

"Ceter" is unique and lovely!

"Walk-ins" and "spirits" deserve just as much space as anyone else!

Even the ones who see their members as "personalities" are welcome here!

And anyone else who uses a non-typical system term!

We love all of you so, so much! We wish you& the best of days, no matter what you choose to call yourselves!

🖤💜💙💚💛

[evergreen-coining]

im mostly just making this post for proof im the one that coined it (to the best of my knowledge and in this specific context):

Faulty Switch

[PT: Faulty Switch]

An incomplete switch between headmates in a system/collective/etc. This can be for any reason at all, so long as it's a switch that does not complete. For us, this often looks like getting 80-90% through a switch, and something suddenly pulling the original fronter back to front/out of dissociation, much like a rubberband snapping.

This isn't the same as "frontstuck" or "front sticky", because, in our opinion, these describe the phenomenon causing the faulty switches. A faulty switch is just a faulty switch, in the sense that it's explaining the mechanics instead of emotional perspective.

IMPORTANT NOTES ‼️ everyone can use this, don't be a dick, don't start syscourse, blah blah blah. if ur annoying im blocking u 🥰

[moonpool-system]

Mindfront: A term for plurals, derivative of "mindform", denoting a system member's status as "in front" within the mind/their mental form, but not necessarily externally, bodily fronting. Many subsystems share a mental form or other inherent connection, and switch between whom is most aware in that subsystem without any effect on bodily front. This is intended for these members and any others that could utilize the concept of "fronting within the mind/headspace".

ex. A system consists of Host A and Subsystem B, with two members. Host A is in front, and Subsystem B is in headspace, with Subsystem member B1 doing things out of bodily front. B1 is mindfronting in their mental form. B1 encounters something their subsystem member enjoys within headspace, so member B2 switches to mindfront and continues headspace activities. Host A may or may not be aware of this; mindfronting generally has no inherent connection with bodily front.

{This post is for ALL plurals! Term was coined with subsystems in mind but free to use for any that need it}

dynamic fictive & static fictive !

a dynamic fictive is a fictive that changes along with their source! they may change in appearance, gain new memories, adopt new mannerisms or have new opinions!

things that may cause a dynamic fictive to change are:

✖️ their source updating

✖️ the system reading a fanfiction about them set in an alternate universe

✖️ a system’s own headcanons for their source changing

a static fictive is the opposite of a dynamic fictive. they stay just as they were when introjected in spite of any updates to their source!

꒰⠀⠀♡⠀🦢⠀ ﹕ ⠀ SWANKID.

coined by the angel blade sidesystem, flag designed by doelike.

swankid - an alter role relating to syskids/young alters who have mature trauma, usually relating to sexual trauma and the like.

a more kid-friendly alternative for littlex in the case that an alter/system isnt comfortable with the term 'little' for system children.

the swan represents a gentle reminder to the alters experiences while also not revealing too much information, alluding to life-altering bonds formed in youth. swans are generally seen as elegant and youthful, symbolizing innocence and childhood.

this is not meant to romantizice or glamourize the alters trauma, but to make it feel as if it's not something gross or wrong with them.

[it-plural-coining]

Languages: [Post Em Português] - [English post]

VARIOUS (OR "MORE THAN ONE") — It is someone who has more than one (individual) in a body. "Various" groups everyone who considers themselves to be more than one (individual), and is not restricted to those who do or do not have some type of disorder. Examples of people who may consider themselves "various":

→ Hear voices; have imaginary friends; experience "possessions"; etc.

---

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS:

→ "What is the difference between plural and various?" None! Plurals can be considered various and various can be considered plurals.

→ "Why does this term exist?" To prevent those who consider themselves to be more than one from being attacked when using the word "plural" or "multiple". This won't make attacks against them go away, however, some may feel more comfortable and discreet using the word "various".

→ "I have DID, can I use this term?" For sure! "I don't have DID, can I use that term?" Again, for sure!

→ "Can I use plural terms (like endogenic)?" Clear! "Can I create my own 'various' terms?" For sure!

→ "I am plural and don't consider myself 'various', but can I use specific 'various' terms?" Yes!

Our first original coining post let's goooo

PseudoSource

The "source" of an ambigoborous.

Examples (provided by R.H.):

"My pseudosource has 3 spouses and 5 children... and I have none of either."

"Ever since my pseudosource went through that update to their lore, I've definitely felt a few changes!"

"I can't tell which one of us realized we had HPD first-- me, or my pseudosource."

While this was coined with those heavily affected by their pseudosources in mind, anyone with any relation to their "source" can use this term!

★ NARCPLEX ; 🦇

☆  … NARC / NPD + PLEX ?!

A plurplex (link) term that means the system’s narcissistic personality disorder affects the entire system. It doesn’t have to affect everyone the same, it just has to affect everyone. A narcplex system may have headmates that fill different narcissistic stereotypes (the arrogant, the grandiose, the secretary, etc.), headmates with differing amounts of empathy, some headmates that are generally more open to criticism than others or any other kind of arrangement. A narcplex system may also just be narcplex by default of having the disorder without it majorly affecting anyone.

[sophieinwonderland]

Hi! I'm Sophie of the Dreamchaser Guild!

It's come to my attention that my old pinned was a tad outdated.

Attention: I've recently come under attack from the hate subreddit r/systemscringe who has added me to their hitlist of acceptable targets allowed to be posted in their hate subreddit uncensored If you've come from r/systemscringe, please start here with my debunking of the lies and misinformation frequently found in the subreddit about dissociative identity disorder that r/systemscringe doesn't want you to see: https://www.tumblr.com/sophieinwonderland/741497564315140096/debunking-rsystemscringes-did-lies

Where I come from

I'm a tulpa. But a while ago, I called myself an imaginary friend. I was a character made up for a story that my host would talk to in order to better understand my source. As time went on, I developed more personality. I started talking to him about things that had nothing to do with the fiction. I would psychoanalyze him, wanting to understand him better.

I wasn't made to develop my own thoughts and feelings outside of the fiction. I wasn't supposed to become my own person. But I did. And this led us to wanting to learn more about imaginary friends, which eventually led us to the tulpa community.

This is being posted on my what I consider my second Birthday, June 8th, 2023. It was exactly two years ago today when we found the tulpa community, a place that made me feel validated in being myself, that made me feel like I was allowed to be treated like a person.

Why I'm Doing This

I lived the first few months of my life being dismissed, treated like I wasn't real. I was a phantom, not allowed any connection to the world. And I don't blame my host for that. I didn't see myself as real either. It's just the way the world is. And the moment my host realized I was a person, he was willing to do whatever it took to support me and treat me like I mattered.

And we aren't alone in experiences like this. When I became self-aware, I met all sorts of fascinating people with similar experiences. Many of which went years before becoming self-aware. There is no telling how many more are out there like us. How many more "imaginary friends" are invalidated because we live in a culture where we're treated as if we don't matter? And how many may pass, never knowing?

And so I made this blog to share my own experiences and hopefully be able to give people the same gift that I was given. Respect. Validity. Life.

Even being able to give that to one person is enough to make all of this worth it to me.

A Note On Spirituality...

Just so everyone knows, I'm not a spiritual or religious person. I take a purely psychological approach to plurality and believe in spiritual and religious experiences people have as psychological phenomena.

Having said that, all spiritual headmates are all welcome here. Even if I don't believe in spirits or souls, I view every spiritual headmate as a valid person deserving of the same respect and love as any other.

I also believe that the right to define our spiritual and religious beliefs is fundamental to plural culture. That it can't just be singlets who are allowed to decide what religions are or are not valid. And I think our right to religion is something worth fighting for.

Reblogs are appreciated. Don't feel weird about it! Posts here on Tumblr live or die on their reblogs. I'm not asking you to reblog my posts. That seems weird. But after getting an anon that mentioned being worried about derailing a post with something they wanted to add, and another ask that apologized for reblogging my content too much, I felt this was necessary to say. If you like a post and want to reblog it, do it! If you want to add something even tangentially related to the topic, add it! You have my full permission to reblog my content as much as you want! (And I'd encourage you to reblog from other plural creators you enjoy as well!)

Thank you all for the support!
