We [attempted] to make cryptoendogenic a page on pluralpedia [which half failed] but ykw it's on there so shrug. /silly

✦ Planoject …

A Planogect is a term used to describe a headmate whose source is a planet. This doesn’t have to be one of the eight, any planet. { includes pluto }

[decayflux-protocol]

So, our system underwent major changes. Which means we're reworking our simply plural including roles and layout from scratch.

So, to get "inspiration", we go to Pluralpedia and try to reclaim some roles. And that's when we find terms like "Bitch" or "Core" (the latter specifically referring to "the self pre-plural") and we're... trying so hard not to crash out.

We fucking hate endos. With our full chest.

ADHD Holder Flags 🦋

hiiiiii i made an alt for the existing adhd holder flag (created by @plural-userboxes) with the regular adhd flag colors, and i also made flags for impulsive / hyperactive type, inattentive / distractible type, and two varients for combined type :DDD I made these for pluralpedia btw bc ive been on a kick of reading like every page on that wiki and making flags so XP

during the process of makin these i also made a psd template for system role flags which you can download from google drive :33

[faggy-thing]

woooo we’re on a roll here coining these terms!!

(if this is already coined consider it a recoin/alt flag)

(once again, free to use; no credit needed; don’t claim as your own)

Echolamate/Echolalia Holder

A headmate that holds the system’s echolalia. They may (exclusively) speak via echolalia, front when hearing something appealing to echo, or verbally stim by echoing.

Stuttermate/Stutter Holder

A headmate that holds the system’s stutter. They may speak with a stutter (either when fronting or when communicating in headspace), or will hold stutters to prevent other headmates from stuttering when speaking.

[catofproendos]

Our parents blocked pluralpedia on the house's wifi??? Wtf???

[kindredcollective]

Consciousspace

A term for a headspace that only exists when consciously thought about.

Headmates do not live there when outside of front, and can only access it when a conscious effort is made to make it appear.

Feel free to add this term to pluralpedia, and expand on it if desired, so long as it doesn’t stray from the original definition. All system origins can use this term.

Day 1/? of making flags for plural terms that have no flag (according to Pluralpedia). For the time being, if you want to request a flag be made, please COMMENT or REBLOG (do NOT send it in my asks)

…

Ameliorator: An ameliorator is a headmate who provides support to other headmates during moments of extreme distress by talking to them. These moments may include flashbacks, panic or anxiety attacks, PTSD episodes, and other intense periods of panic.

…

Guzzler: A guzzler is a headmate whose role is feeding and/or hydrating the body and/or system. They can look for food, learn to cook, scavenge, etc. Some might be assisting other headmates with eating disorders, feeding the body so they won't have to personally experience eating or have to engage in it if that's too hard for them, or they might help headmates in headspace to eat, if eating is necessary to keep their forms alive.

…

Internal Therapist: An internal therapist may do a number of different things, but this role is generally centered around helping other headmates. An internal therapist may help other headmates to process emotions in a productive manner: and assist them in effective, honest, and safe communication regarding issues.

…

Reliever: A reliever is a headmate that helps the system release pressure or stress via fronting. They may simply spend leisure time in the body, or handle any other task while maintaining a more relaxed mindset.

Senticonscious

Senticonscious refers to a system with a consciousness structure wherein all members have a separate consciousness, but are also affected by the consciousness of a sentient headspace. The majority of memories are shared with the entire collective through the headspace's consciousness; however, a gatekeeper or other memory managing headmate may choose to limit access to a single memory, or memories from a certain time period, from certain headmates.

A sentispace, or sentient headspace, is the form of collective consciousness for this type of consciousness structure. All properties of the sentispace remain intact. Usually, only the memory of this consciousness is shared with most headmates. gatekeepers and other high ranking headmates may be able to access other parts of this consciousness through its communication with them such as: leading new headmates in the right direction, being able to tell when something has happened internally that needs their attention, or in the case of a variaspace, when the headspace has changed.

----------------------------------------------

Heyo! Finally making a tumblr post about this term I coined almost a year ago since we're starting to get back into term coining! We are the coiners of senticonscious along with one of our long time friends. We also helped in creating the flag although I believe most of the credit for this beauty of a flag belongs to them, not us. It's on pluralpedia for further into formation, heres the link!

[coining-system-terms]

i saw one of your terms up on pluralpedia and wanted to double-check if you're ok with your terms being added there?

Absolutely the fuck not. Who the fuck added one of our terms to the endo site?

[hellgai]

✦ Therapigenic …

Therapigenic is an origin where a headmate, system, or sisasystem were formed from a negative / traumatic experience with therapy.

Truths and Myths: Pluralpedia Part 4, Alter Roles.

This is an educational post.

Written by 🤍. (Temporary emoji placeholder)

And at the same time

A part that is designed to hold trauma, known as an emotional part, may remain stuck at the age when the trauma occurred. This can be part of the process in which the individual part repeatedly relives the trauma or unconsciously reenacts it in their actions when taking executive control, even though the trauma has ended but they are unaware. As a result, they are unable to age past the age of the trauma. Later in therapy, trauma can be processed and this can relieve that part from their need to be fixed in time

Further discussed in Van der Hart, Nijenhuis, and Steele’s book (2006) “The Haunted Self: Structural Dissociation and the Treatment of Chronic Traumatization”. The authors disscuss a patient whose child emotional part would reenact situations from the trauma in an attempt to prevent it from happening again. Additionally, they discuss that some emotional parts can experience severe nonrealisation therefore that part may literally experience themselves as being the age they are stuck at, in the book this is used in context of child parts.

Trigger warning in the term is also applicable to my discussion of it.

According to the NHS (2024) website on eating disorders, there are many potential causes for them, including various traumas. An individual experiencing an eating disorder or in recovery may also experience trauma or stress, on a psychological, physical, and social level. As a result, an alter may split due to the eating disorder as parts are fragmented due to trauma. This alter may serve as a protective/caretaker part, ensuring the survival of the body, but it may also be a part that has split off due to denial of the eating disorder. This part may be used by the brain to hide the parts of the individual that are heavily affected by the trauma of the eating disorder.  This can also allow the affected parts to recover at their own pace, as they are aware that the body will be fine. However, this alter may also serve as an unhelpful crutch, causing other parts to believe that they do not need to recover or are not ready to do so. In reality, it is crucial for all parts to recover in order to aid in trauma healing and move towards a more sustainable life. Relying too heavily on one part can result in their exhaustion as they will be using their available resources to focus and take care of the needs of others. If this is their only role, it may result in a lack of self-awareness of their own needs, making it difficult for them to meet them. This point is supported by Van der Hart, Nijenhuis, and Steele's book (2006) "The Haunted Self: Structural Dissociation and the Treatment of Chronic Traumatization" when discussing caretaker parts in systems. It is important to allow a part to take a break, otherwise they may begin to dread their role or task, leading to unpleasant or even stressful experiences. Therefore, it is necessary for parts to have the capability to share responsibility for tasks, even if only for a short time, to give the main part a chance to rest, another reason why recovery for those parts heavily affected should be encouraged. This idea and self-care is discussed more in W AT’s book “Got Parts: An Insider’s Guide to Managing Life Successfully with Dissociative Identity Disorder”. 

The term "called out" may refer to this alter being triggered when food is present or is brought out when a part is triggered by food, allowing it to take control of the situation. Alternatively, it may refer to the switching technique learnt in therapy, where communication between alters is improved to the point where one alter can reach out and ask another to take control. However, this is a complex skill, as it is considered, to master and there will always be a risk of failure, so it cannot be guaranteed to work every time. Based on this, it can be assumed that the term refers to the act of this alter stepping into either calm or avoid a trigger.

[faggy-thing]

coining some holder terms since there weirdly aren’t any for spd (at least to our knowledge).

if this is already a thing, consider it a recoin/flag redesign

SPD HOLDER

A type of symptom holder that deals with SPD (sensory processing disorder). They may experience sensory issues when fronting, or will hold symptoms of SPD to prevent other headmates from feeling overwhelmed/underwhelmed.

Sensory Avoidance Holder

A subcategory of SPD holder that deals with the system’s hypersensitivity or sensory avoidance behaviours.

Sensory Seeking Holder

A subcategory of SPD holder that deals with the system’s hyposensitivity or sensory seeking behaviours.

[anestheticcannabis]

parabased

parabased refers to a system based in one or more paraphilias, but is not inherently an origin. this paraphilia would affect system functions, the headspace, headmates, roles, and any other aspects of the system. how it would affect the system depends on what paraphilias the system has and how they work for that system.

[bloodyangrycatsss]

Coining time once again! Coined after we created a post the other day and there was nobody that could find a term for it!

Distorpidsystem (Distorted torpidsystem)

A torpidsystem is a system where the body is always on autopilot, so a distorpidsystem is a system that is also always on autopilot, but small things may change between various sysmates/sides/alters/etc when they front.

Some of these things may include but aren't limited to:

Handwriting, how they operate technology or equipment, handedness, how they position the body, and posture.

Our friend Caym from @alpimerealmsystem has created the name. Below the cut are some DMs between us that may explain how things differ.

@pluralterms and @pluralitywords could you give us a boost please? Plus any other plural/system blogs that collect terms.

We have no personal DNI and believe you shouldn't put terms behind a DNI. But we ourselves have complicated system origins. That being said anti-endos are still free to interact.

Feel free to create a flag for the term! We would be honored. Also feel free to add this term to pluralpedia! If possible please link back to us on there!

[loser-pet]

aaaauuuuughhhhhh trying to upload terms to pluralpedia has been a NIGHTMARE so far 😭😭😭 we’ve gotten some help from the discord server, but we’re really struggling on how to upload the term and how to format everything, and ITS SO CONFUSING AAAAAAHHHH 💔💔💔

(if anyone wants to try and help us that would be GREATLY appreciated 🥺)
