Someone's demi-sexualness is bleeding over into my asexualness

Prompt #1,004

System A and System B are dating. Not every headmate of one system is dating every headmate of the other system, however. Instead, the polycule between both systems is so large and elaborate that they've both taken to charting it out on a corkboard they share in their home.

Mild system update :D

The others keep getting absolutely flabbergasted at what Emerald says and ChuChi is just surprised and goes "WHAT THE FUCK" every time Kofubi and I are mentioned in the same sentence because, in his words, "KOFUBI WAS FORMED YESTERDAY, EMILY. WHY ARE YOU ALREADY FLIRTING WITH HER?!" Lol

AITA for hating endos who say that keeping harmful alters away from everyone else is bad? If you need to, do it! Don’t keep alters who could harm people nearby!!

the problem with "only co-fronting st most" OSDD with Eve is that we both have fibro so if I'm just too exhausted to deal with shit so she comes up sometimes it's just double exhaustion. like. thanks for tryin, babe, but maybe you should take the nap I can never willingly take and then come back to me.

Ran to the library this morning to exchange materials and early-vote in the municipal election. Failed at voting because for some reason they didn't open it up until 11am this time and I had to leave because rain was coming. Ended up caught in the rain on the walk home anyway, but it was okay because I found these:

Three cells of Swiss chard that apparently some gardener didn't want/have room for (plus I brought an umbrella so no biggie). So these will go in one of the earthboxes tomorrow or maybe the next unless we float away.

No other gardening tasks accomplished except for removing another 15 slugs off the bok choy before I left for the library.

I do think I saw some sprouting in the last flat I sowed and put in the cold frame, including some of the natives. I'll check closer when it's not raining.

Kaspar and I have officially been together for nine years. We're two clinical Narcissists and have easily been one of each other's most functional relationships. I'm also seeing them a lot more, these days~

My dear Virgo, who I'm both a muse and a torment to, has roasted me with more finesse and grace than anyone alive. They've learned everything from the multiple bits of media I've incorporated into my soul to how long I'll joke about brain-shattering trauma until I'm willing to talk about it. And I've learned when to insert my brand of tomfoolery to get their mind off of stress, what each neckpiece says about its mood, and in what ways they're insulting a frienemy with their jewelry choice.

I'm more than lucky to have them as my partner in crime, my fellow frivolous aesthete, and my Prague-born Dorian Gray.

I hope it goes to show that all a long-term romance needs is

Czechs and balances~

Write a story using the usual Hallmark romance movie formula, but with both of the main characters as systems.

Considering fusing for good is always a strange place to be in, but I'm in it right now. Knee deep and getting deeper. Dunno if that's a transitional BPD feeling, but it sure is feeling endless right now.

This happened a while ago, and was resolved by me not talking to this person any more, but it still bothers me if I was in the wrong so I’m sending it in.

I used to be friends with another system, some of my parts were dating some of theirs. One of their younger parts (calling him A) got attached to me, in a sort of sibling way. We are from the same source, which might have been part of why he got attached to me. Anyway, I’m an ex-persecutor and my self-image from that time is still kind of around, in that I worry I might hurt people without meaning it, so I might have been a little distant from him when he got this attached. I was slightly distant from everyone though.

A seemed to be a bit upset if I didn’t front for a while, complaining that I was ignoring him, and I sometimes started not telling him if I was fronting because he would want to talk regardless of what I was doing. I probably should have tried to communicate better if I was busy, though, so that part’s on me. All of this came to a head when I ended up fusing with another alter. A got really upset about this. Fusion is a difficult thing to process, and he is just a kid, but it got to the point of him saying that “[Name] is basically dead, I’m not talking to you” to the alter I was fused with. This happened so much that me and the other alter eventually broke apart from the stress.

Am I in the wrong for being upset about how he reacted to this situation? On the one hand, I think it’s very anti-recovery, and he shouldn’t have been processing his feelings over it by basically getting mad at the other alter for fusing. But he’s still a young alter and might not know how to react appropriately (He’s in his early teens, though, so not exactly a little kid).

okay so I feel like we've referenced intersystem sex and related kinks a bunch despite never talking about the basics so I'm just gonna say. no seriously get into bed with the other system, ask if they'd like to have a specific front you can help them bring out, or if they want you to make a special request. and just like. perceive. sex is perception sometimes. you know who's in front of you; put your hands on parts of their body that are physically there, and your hands on parts of their body that aren't physically there. look them in the eyes, talk to them, make sure that they know that you know exactly what it is you're holding. what it's supposed to look and feel like. it literally doesn't matter if the differences are tiny. it doesn't have to be blogger fan favourites like demon horns or paw pads or wildly different proportions. just sit there, smell their hair, and mumble out the colour you know it is, regardless of what their mirror tells them. That's sex.
