Here’s some positivity for traumatized system protectors!

Being a headmate with a protective role can at times be exhausting, challenging, overwhelming, and downright scary. System protectors often face difficult, violent, or frightening situations in order to protect the rest of their system, and sometimes this can come at a great cost to the protector’s own health and well-being. This post goes out to all the system protectors out there who have been traumatized in some way!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors whose trauma history has made them jumpy, nervous, awkward, or easily startled!

💖 Shoutout to protectors who are also trauma holders, or whose trauma causes them to be separated from the rest of their system!

☀️ Shoutout to ex-protectors and those who are no longer able to effectively protect their system due to their trauma history!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors who split to cope with a traumatic situation and now can only front when their system is facing new trauma!

💖 Shoutout to protectors who are often dissociated, listless, dazed, or confused!

☀️ Shoutout to protectors who feel like they can’t relate to or connect with the rest of their system!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors whose trauma has left them angry, bitter, irritable, or spiteful!

💖 Shoutout to protectors who are not brave or tough, or who struggle to meet the expectations of their headmates or others outside their system!

☀️ Shoutout to protectors whose trauma has caused them to develop a subsystem or strange, unorthodox, or maladaptive coping habits!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors who struggle with flashbacks, panic attacks, depression, nightmares, or other symptoms of PTSD!

💖 Shoutout to protectors who stay loving fiercely and are committed to practicing kindness, compassion, and generosity despite their trauma history!

It is an unfortunate fact that many system protectors may form as a result of trauma or end up traumatized at some point in their lives. We genuinely hope that each protector who reads this can find hope, peace, comfort, and recovery in their future! Know that it’s okay for a protector to need or want support or a break every now and then. It’s okay to slow down, take a step back, acknowledge your needs, and breathe!

Please remember that you are valued and deserving of love and respect just the way you are. Regardless of your current capabilities, how you are coping with your trauma, and how you currently understand yourself and your system, you are worthy of kindness and compassion, no ifs ands or buts about it! We care about you, and we truly wish that you can find the resources and support you need in order to live your best life. Thanks so much for reading, and take care!

Whattt? The Corvids coining a term?? Yep.

Speedrunner.

A speedrunner is a sysmate that is able to think fast, do things faster then other sysmates, and/or helps the system if their in a rush or an emergency.

Some speedrunners may also be considered a protector due to their ability to think fast, but they don't have to be.

Anyone can interact with our blog as long as you're respectful and don't plan to start discourse. If we're uncomfortable with you we'll just block you. But you can still use the term even then as we don't believe in putting terms behind a DNI.

Idk if you guys mind being tagged but @pluralterms @clownterms and @pluralitywords if you don't want to be tagged just lst us know.

Also if someone wants to make a flag for this feel free! We just don't make flags and don't really know how lol. Please @ us if you do we'd love to see it as this term has a bit of history for us lol.

Btw if this term or similar has already been coined, feel free to let us know!

This term has been coined by our collective.

A message from the oldest protector in our system:

You fuck with the littles, you mess with everyone and we will dogpile you

I'm pretty sure almost every system with littles is protective asf even our persecutor who couldn't give to shades of dog shit about anyone else will choose extreme verbal violence if he sees anyone hurting a child (can't say I blame him because I do as well)

am i the asshole for calling a protector alter "the mean / angry one"

so, context, i've been questioning DID on and off for about 4 years now (TikTok is what got me to research it, like ACTUALLY research it not just watch a couple of TikTok's lol) and a couple of months ago i realized i have some sort of protector alter after i got in a fight with my dad and they fronted. they had fronted b4 100%, but i always just thought i had anger issues, yk ?? but this time, i could literally FEEL myself be pushed out of front, like it was extremely disorienting and i could hear and see myself doing / saying things that I WASNT DOING.

anyways, because i have no communication w/ my sys, i didnt know what to call this alter, i had names for 2 other alters atp, sarah, whos a caretaker, and i have a basic idea of her appearance, and jack, whos a persecutor and again, basic idea of appearance. but this alter ? nothing, nada, no fucking CLUE

so, i have MaDD, or maladaptive daydreaming disorder, and in one of these daydreams, me (as in me in the daydream) ALSO had did, and in this daydream i referred to this alter as 'the angry one", and instantly i felt this SURGE of emotions that werent mine, like i felt SICK to my stomach, the feelings were so strong i got ripped out of my daydream. like i was just sat in the middle of my room trying to process what was essentially a psychic fuck you.

i realized pretty quickly after that that, yeah, that was a bit shitty of me, and ive been since calling this alter red, but i still feel like they hate me. i mean, idk for SURE, but im scared that they do.

so like. AITA ?

Here’s some positivity for system protectors!

For many systems, having roles can provide individual members with purpose and drive. Many headmates come with roles, but some adopt them later in life. Protectors do so much for the systems they protect, and their efforts don’t go unnoticed! This post is for all the system protectors out there!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors who have always existed in their systems, protecting them since their formation!

⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who were consciously created in order to help protect the system!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors with chronic pain or illness, who find they’re not always able to protect their system when they need to!

⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who are hosts, frequent fronters, or permanently frontstuck!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors who work behind the scenes, protect the system by managing symptoms, or never front at all!

⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who handle in-system conflict, and work as mediators and negotiators!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors who feel like they can’t do enough to protect their system!

⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who struggle with negative emotions like guilt, shame, anger, jealousy, or sadness!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors who didn’t start that way, stepped up to fill the role when it was needed!

⚔️ Shoutout to protectors who are therian, otherkin, copinglink, or nonhuman in any way!

🛡 Shoutout to protectors who help their system survive in ways that others might think are “weird” or “cringe!”

Every system is unique, and each protector has their own individual ways of helping their system flourish! There’s no need to compare yourself to protectors in other systems - you’re doing the best you can and that counts for something!

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into protecting your system. Your efforts aren’t going unnoticed - we see you, we know how difficult protecting a system can be, and we’re rooting for you in all that you do! Thanks so much for reading, and take care!

hello! hope you had/are having a good day; im sorry if this is an oblivious question or something i should probably look up (i tried but was having issues finding something that looked applicable) but what does system/being system mean?

** i am not a professional, i dont know everything, some information may be outdated or incorrect, this is my experience **

it means you have headmates, alters, etc due to DID/OSDD/etc

its a disorder caused by extreme & or repetitive childhood trauma between the ages of 6–9 years old that causes the brain to create multiple “personalities” instead of one cohesive personality to cope with the trauma.

for me, this means sharing consciousness with multiple other alters who have the ability to overtake my own consciousness and act in ways that i dont have control over, and moderate amnesia (forgetting/being unable to remember portions of life). i have an unknown number of headmates but the most prominent alters are alex 🐾 the primary host, anger holder, and protector, ghost 🐈‍⬛ the secondary host & trauma holder (these 2 form “my” personality and work together, if anyone wants a better explanation lmk i have a more detailed write up), and blade 🏁 who is a protector & defends the body when we are scared or upset :]

this is really vague & im tired, but systems are very complex and the disorders associated with them are complex as well. the disorders are not well researched and are even denied by some professionals which is incredibly unfair.
