#transplural tips

[transdid-deity]

Advice for transplural folks!:

1. Affirm everyday that you are a system! your subconscious loves repetition although you need to give your subconscious proof that you're a system, we'll get you through this!

2. create a headspace imagine a world you may feel comfortable, this may be a bit hard but trust me, frequent visit may immerse the headspace!

3. practice dissociation! you may need to practice derealization and/or depersonalization you can use this tumblr advice!

4. create a headmate!! to do this you can use this document might help! although if you have trouble in creating a headmate where you don't have inspiration, look up BAH Blogs on tumblr!

5. Switching you have to pretend and imagine different sensory and pretend to have different voices, you want to switch as *alex?* then act like you're them, be blank for some seconds (or not), and then you have to change your voice slightly to make it *perfect* for you, visualize different sensory than you have, is the blanket more comfortable or less? do you feel like the light is more lighter or less? do big differences to make it distinct to you!

• As for people who wants amnesia induced when switching: pretend you forgot since you were that person!

6. Avoid fakeclaiming! but please don't do this because it might reverse your manifestation of plurality T_T

7. use subliminals! you can use subliminals that is focused on becoming plural/develop DID when you are relaxing, chilling, meditating, and sleeping!

That's all folks!

Feel free to give me anything that is related to TransPlural, whether is TransDID, TransHeadspace, TransPolyfragmented, Connecting sources, etc! ^_^

cant understand this post? check here for a guide to using xuer pronouns

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀transplural tips !

xu am a part of a mixed - origin system, so these are only ideas xu have based off of xuer own experience being a part in it! they may not work for you, but hopefully they'll give you your own ideas!

this is a very generalized post. if you want tips for a specific -genic transition, send xie a request!

⠀ ⠀⠀to transition :

xu always like to say start small ! you dont need to rush your transition. xu know it hurts not being able to just be what you're supposed to be, but its more likely you'll give up on transitioning if you try to rush into it !

change your language — “ i went on a walk ” should become “ we went on a walk ”. it takes a conscious effort at first, but the more you ingrain it into your speech and typing style the more natural it becomes. always think about the fact that you are plural, that you're not alone—that in your body, theres more than one conscious. like xu said, it takes effort. its okay to fail, its okay to forget. just remind yourself as often as you can!

plan it out — write stuff down! it might seem stupid, but give it a try. you don't even need to decide on basic stuff, that can come naturally. get a notebook, and write down one word on each page. an object, an animal, an aesthetic, an emotion, a fashion style, or anything else. THAT is the beginning of an idea, of a person. you can expand based on what you want or whatever feels right, depending on the -genic you're transitioning to.

find a rhythm — this is easier said than done. whether you're going for a full transition or just looking for a way to relieve your dysphoria, this is a good way to do it! you don't need to be intense about it, use the notebooks or whatever equivalent you come up with. if one of the topics you wrote down was a fashion choice, go out and buy or make clothing of that type—or research its culture, and make a collage or playlist (see the next step). Anything that'll put you into a headspace for the other person you should be!

playlists — xu think they're actually really helpful for furthering how you should be. music can help you get into certain mindsets, and may even end up acting as front triggers for your parts! make them based on the information you wrote down, and play them while this part is fronting. make a few, play whichever feels right in the moment

first-person experience — ask your system friends or people who've successfully transitioned! this is a part of any transitional journey; figuring out how to transition safely and in a way that makes you comfortable. go ask your friends for tips, or just ask them about their plural experiences.

some other things to keep in mind as you explore your plurality :

𖹭 set up pluralkit, tupperbox, simply plural, or any other bots or apps that support plural people!

𖹭 make things or buy things with your parts in mind. “ [part] would love this.. ”

𖹭 roleplay as your parts, either via apps and bots or irl!

𖹭 think like your parts. react & respond in your head, it'll eventually come naturally.

𖹭 bah blogs on tumblr can be extremely helpful when trying to help your parts form, no matter what -genic you are! give them a try! (xuer headmate owns a blog you're absolutely free to submit to, @prestigousbah)

𖹭 endogenic / willogenic spaces are great places to look for tips if you don't know any other plurals.

remember! you wont be plural right away. transitioning doesn't happen overnight. you also dont need to fit the ”plural mold.” you should focus on you and your parts comfort above fitting in.

anything else xu might recommend is -genic specific, which sadly defeats the point of something more generalized! if you're looking for other tips, submit something more specific!

[curiouscypress]

Ahh, I wish I was 'more' plural!! I want my alters to be defined more :^( does anyone have tips? Also looking for a good BAH blog to frequent!

‧₊ 𐔌 Transplural Tips & Ideas <3 ˚｡⋆୨୧

You heard me, I'm gonna do what nobody's done before... and by that I mean plenty of people have done it before. But that's besides the point! <3 This post is a buuunch of tips about furthering your progression into plurality from start to finish, from a cisplural + cisDID! These are all just ideas though, and none of it is mandatory; you're still just as plural even if you don't do any of these things! <33

Note that this is a very, VERY long read, framed to help you further understand and form your system. It can also be used by cisplurals / severity-plurals! This post includes: general tips to encourage progress, how to recognize and help alters form, inspiration for fleshing out fragments, tips for creating your headspace, and more!

I. General Tips!

⊹˖ ⤑ Affirmations, affirmations, affirmations. It might not seem like it, but your mind can do a lot of things just with the power of suggestion, and the language you use affects you deeply!! No saying things like "I want to be a system" -- be more specific; "I want my headspace to be more fleshed out", "I want my sysmates to be more distinct", etc. This not only helps you get clear goals set that you can actually work towards, but it also helps to convince your brain that you're a system.

⊹˖ ⤑ Avoid negative language and fakeclaiming. Similarly to the above, you need to use affirmations that help convince your brain. Negative language tells your brain those negative thoughts; I go into a little detail about this more here, but essentially, don't use negative language when discussing your transition! Even if you're feeling like your transition is going too slowly, using sarcasm with positive language will still trick your brain that you're being positive. Think of every time you fakeclaim yourself or call yourself a singlet or whatnot as five steps back; in order to make up for doing it once, you have to do a whole lot more of affirming to make up for it! This is to say that it isn't impossible to transition if you're very negative, but you will see more progress faster if you try to avoid it.

⊹˖ ⤑ Find a plural community to help affirm you. There are plenty of discord servers and tumblr communities centered around plurality. Find one and introduce yourself as a system -- not a "questioning system", not a "transitioning system", but as a system. This will help you affirm your identity more, as people will see and treat you as a system, and you can still ask for tips regarding helping your system form!

⊹˖ ⤑ Do research into different forms of plurality, how they manifest, and how they form! Do research into various -genic types, and see which one feels right to you. And if multiple feel right, you can always have multiple, or have different ones for different alters! You can find plenty of resources into helping you understand and mimic various ways of system creation if you know what to search for; try looking into endogenic systems, western tulpamancy, median systems, and seeing what you think might work for you! However remember that your system is your own -- It’s okay if you don’t have clear switches, distinct voices, or a headspace that’s easy to visualize. Many systems are subtle, blurry, or co-conscious, and none of that makes you any less of a system!!

II. Headmate Formation!

⊹˖ ⤑ When you first start off, it might be easier to notice different alters based on when your headspace changes (your actual mood and behavior -- not the inner world!). Don't force them, but notice them. Start by paying attention: any thoughts that might seem out of the blue, sudden shifts in your emotion, any habits that feel unfamiliar... Try to ask yourself if this is you or someone else! This is true for all systems, not just transplurals; I do this a lot when fronting to check if I'm alone in front.

⊹˖ ⤑ Give these changes names! It doesn't have to be a permanent name, but recognize them as a different person (or at least a different facet of you, if you believe in the "parts of a whole" formation). Over time, try to flesh them out; triggers can be things that put you into that mindset, interests can be things that you often engage with during that mindset, things like that! These are fragments, but they can form into full alters over time.

⊹˖ ⤑ When you recognize that this is happening, log it! Personally I use SimplyPlural ("SP"), but you can also use Octo-con (although SP is far more common, octo is mostly used by antis). You can also track this in any notes apps, journals, etc, communicate with alters, keep track of alters, organize alters, and more! Both are compatible with the discord app PluralKit ("PK") too. Some systems use Tupperbox, but I prefer PluralKit personally since it can easily be synced with SimplyPlural. You can use SimplyPlural on both mobile and desktop! I'll also be making a different post full of my SimplyPlural organization for those who want to get extra fancy with it, however this is just up to personal preference

⊹˖ ⤑ Try to communicate with your sysmate. At first you might need to put on a "mask" of sorts to do so, to try to give them a voice, but over time this will come easier as they settle in and find their own identity. You can do this also by letting them communicate with others; let them sign off on posts or messages they send with a specific "proxy" (either their name or an emoji), let them create a separate sideblog on Tumblr, let them use their own PluralKit or Tupper bot -- all of these are fantastic ways to help find what makes them them!

III. Fleshing out Fragments!

⊹˖ ⤑ The next step, once you've started to recognize fragments / facets, is to look into different types of alters. There are some common alter types that pop up frequently (please note that most of these descriptions are based in what they do for your system, but this may not be true of all alters of these types; along with this, there are plenty more not listed):

A) "Littles", which are children, usually needing cared for. These alters usually have the job of holding feelings of childhood, be it good or bad, and seeking out care and attention. Some systems have many of these; some have very few, if any at all.

B) Nonhumans, which can be animals or monsters. They usually hold feelings of being dehumanized, be it by reclaiming it or holding those negative feelings associated with it.

C) Religious alters are very common as well, be it an introject with a religious source, or an alter who believes they are a deity, angel, priest, demon, etc. These usually form to either help guide the system with religious endeavors, hold opinions and trauma about religion, or express some other facet caused by religion.

D) Introjects, which you've probably heard of if you're reading this. They can be from fictional media, internet personalities, friends, family, history, or anything else you can possibly think of. These are incredibly common, and often overlap with the above types, too! It is common for systems to have multiple introjects with the same source or source character, and it is also common for alters to form with the appearance of a character or person without actually being associated with their source.

⊹˖ ⤑ Some roles are more common in systems than others; the most basic are protectors, persecutors, gatekeepers, hosts, and littles. You can find a whole host of potential roles for alters on Pluralpedia, if you're looking for inspiration. There's a lot here; if you're trying to see if a term has already been made, then you can also join the Pluralpedia Discord Server, which has channels exclusively dedicated towards helping you find the system terms you're looking for!

⊹˖ ⤑ So, more on introjects -- the most common types are those which are sourced from a fictional character, content creator, or someone you know. But that's not actually all! Introjects can be sourced from ANYTHING that you get inspiration from. Locations, mythology, colors, songs, artwork -- anything you can think of! If you want specific words for every kind of introject, Pluralpedia has you covered for that, too; however the most common ones that I see are "fictive" (from a fictional media), "factive" (from a factional source), "godtive" (an introject of a god, also sometimes just labelled as an introject), and "songtive" (an introject from a song). Alters can also have multiple sources, so go absolutely ham!

⊹˖ ⤑ You need more inspiration for fleshing out alters? Go to Pinterest and look for artwork or characters that you like, and use those as inspiration and faceclaims for your sysmates. What shows or games do you like? Make your favorite characters that you relate to. You have OCs? Make them! I would also highly recommend searching through "Build-A-Headmate" (BAH) blogs, and seeing what fits your fragments! Picrew, Gacha, or other avatar apps can also be a great way to visualize your sysmates.

⊹˖ ⤑ Let your sysmates do things without your opinions or preferences seeping in as much as possible. This might be a sideblog full of only things they like, or maybe a Pinterest board exclusively for them, or their own playlist! A little can go a long way.

⊹˖ ⤑ Filling out their SP profiles, if you did that, can also help differentiate them as individuals! You can search for SimplyPlural templates for custom fields and folders, go to the SimplyPlural discord and view what people have shared in it, look at "OC templates" or "About Me" templates and see what people add to theirs, or anything else for inspiration! Like I said above, I'll be making my own post or doc of how I organize mine for those who want it.

IV. Headspace Creation!

⊹˖ ⤑ This one is a bit tricky, because it takes a lot of work. When you're first starting out, it might be best to make your headspace a place you know very well; maybe that's your house, your home base in a video game, or a fictional world that you have memorized very well. This can be changed and edited later, but it will help with visualizing it while you're getting started! Alternatively, it can be a small space that is incredibly simple; the important part is that you can try to imagine this space. I would highly recommend doing some form of mindfulness and meditation practices, as these will help you focus more and clear your head!

⊹˖ ⤑ Once you have that down, and you can easily and quickly imagine this space, you can start "editing" it. Don't rush this! While it may be very easy for some, it can take a long time for others, and rushing it will make you feel disheartened if it goes wrong. It's better to underestimate your abilities in this regard than to overestimate yourself! Try to add small details. For example, if your headspace is your house, try to imagine an object that you don't own in real life, and add it within your headspace. An example might be a lamp, a rug, or a stuffed animal; start small and simple. The next time you visualize or enter your headspace, see if that item is there. Try your best to visualize it as being there, until it becomes permanent.

⊹˖ ⤑ Once you can easily make edits such as this, you can start expanding the areas inside your headspace and make more major changes. This is where the fun part comes in! Your headspace can be anything you want, as long as you ease yourself into it. You can start the planning stage whenever you want, as long as you don't try to rush yourself with the process of fulfilling those plans.

V. Planning and Visualizing your Headspace!

⊹˖ ⤑ Okay, not that snappy of a title, but this is the fun part. Planning your headspace! I think Mindly is a great app for this if you're in the beginning aspects of planning -- finding out what areas you need, before actually linking them together or fleshing them out. Consider it a skeleton of sorts! You can also do this with common note-taking apps like Milanote or Obsidian too. Regular notes with a sort of "checklist" can be helpful, too.

⊹˖ ⤑ So, what areas does your headspace "need"? This is obviously up to you, but the basics include a "front room", individual houses or rooms for each alter, and a general lounging area. From here, you can go anywhere! A hotel, a campsite, a liminal space, a fantasy world, a college campus, a suburb -- all of it is entirely up to your system, and can be personalized (and changed)!

⊹˖ ⤑ Now that you know what areas you're trying to create, you can start visualizing it properly (or if you're not very fond of rough drafts, you can just skip to this step too, lol). The most common ways to make your headspace are with image dumps such as Pinterest boards, which are easily sorted and can have notes attached, or with proper building games, such as Animal Crossing, the Sims, Minecraft, etcetera depending on what kind of headspace you are looking for. Really, any worldbuilding simulator can work, so go crazy! If you're looking for fantasy maps, I can recommend Inkarnate; and if you can't find anything, you can always make a map from scratch on paper or with a drawing app.

" hides.. okai woaw first post radio silence ... mayb bc transparasocial isnt a vv popular topic ?? so i will try posting transplural tips !! "

𓎟𓎟 ✦　𓎟𓎟　　◞◟ transplural◞◟　𓎟𓎟 ✦　𓎟𓎟

i'm transplural myself !! successfully out to 5ish people, one being an irl friend! so i know what i'm talking about !! i hope this helps someone ~

firstly, obviously, make an alter. you can make a whole bunch, but its easiest to start with one. make an identity for them! what do they like? what are their pronouns? what are there transids? what triggers them? anything you like! for this post, i'll make up a random example.. a sgg (yt) alter! instead of calling her jen (you could call them their source name if you prefer!), i'll gove her some personality. she can go by jj and use the pronouns xe/xer! i can also keep things similar to xer source, xe can be a caretaker since xer source likes kids! stuff like that, give your alter some personality instead of just going off base topic!

next, figure out when you want them to front! for example, jj will only front when i'm spending an extended time in close proximity with a child. whenever you're by the trigger (in our example, children), pause for a moment, and pretend to switch. then, interact as your alter! so, for example, i (hates kids), would act all motherly and caring towards kids, like jj would. i'd basically just roleplay as jj! if you do this often enough, it'll become automatic!

transids i feel like go with this one : transperson (?)

waoh this one is basic and just a jumble of repeated things. for detailed transplural stuff i recommend @/sugrfilm! lots of details and solely dedicated to transplural stuff. they help a lot ^^ anyway i hope this tiny guide helps at all.. if i get ant suggestions ill probably to them bc im struggling to write some guides, i rlly only wanted to post transparasocial tips.. heheehs

[transidtips]

Hi can I have transBPD and TransPlural tips?

And with the BPD ones can I have general tips for finding a fp

Ty

aa im both of these as well!! (well, tris bpd/plural, but same difference) :3

i found a bunch of links for these, but of course i will add my own input as well >_<

bpd: link link link

plural: link link link

make sure to support the original blogs :0

more under cut <3

bpd:

1. find a person to obsess over, your fp. make all of your thoughts about them, if they feel bad, then you feel bad. if they feel happy, then you feel the same.

2. your life should revolve around this person to the point where it becomes integral to your functioning :3

3. have intense mood swings, if you do not already experience these then just fake it until you make it!! (i do this one a lot hehe)

4. i am not one to encourage harmful behavior, but if it does help with dysphoria, then self damaging behavior or damaging other could help as well :3 always have consent if you want to harm someone else!!

plural:

1. talk to yourself in your head a lot, and if you can, use different voices for each ones :3

2. if youve gotten far enough that these new alters have their own personality and whatnot, try to begin to act like them outwardly to develop them more >~<

[prismscape]

Hii!! Can you do transplural tips please? (transcdid if i need to be specific) Thank you!!!

Hello!! Ofc I can do this!! Im a cisplural so most tips will just be about my own experiences!

Alters / headmates

The first step to becoming plural is having alters!

Give them different names, ages, personalities etc.

Alters even have distinct body language and speech patterns! Give them different ways of speaking and acting aswell !

A good way to visualize their appearance is going on Picrew and creating how they look like !!

Talk to your alters in your head a lot! Talk to them when you neeed help or when you’re bored. Let them help you make decisions!

You can also make them have their own role in the system, for example x alter fronts at arguments or x alter fronts when there is danger

Using simply plural is a very good way to memorize all your alters and log who is currently fronting!

Switching and dissociating

Every system switches differently so I would suggest finding your own way to switch! Example: blinking heavily, staring deeply into nothing and then suddenly “waking up”, sudden change of emotion.

Although I don’t really recommend this, Sleeping less than recommended by professionals can make you dissociate easier!

Looking up “switch caught on camera” videos on YouTube can also reallly help giving you an idea of what a switch looks like and how it works !!

After switching pretend you’re confused, pretend like you don’t know where you are or how you got there. Pretend you’re pretending that you know what’s happening.

Amnesia / memory loss

Memory loss is for some systems a big part of their disorder. Most don’t remember what their alters did when they fronted.

Sleeping less can help a lot with memory loss! I don’t recommend doing this tho because it can also affect other things like how well your brain works.

Other tip:

Try finding people with cisdid and ask them about their experience so you can try your best to mimick that!

Remember you are valid and you are a real plural!

Fun fact: I had to do this two times because it didn’t save the first time TwT

[vocalux]

hihi i was a little curious and wanted to know , how is a alters switch like ? if anyone can tell me their own experience i would be very happy !

like , how do you feel , or smth ?

( asking because , besides being curious about how systems work , it would help me more in the transition lol )

?

[radioaktiv666]

May you do trans plural tips?

Transplural tips!

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱ picrews! Making picrews can really help with figuring out how a headmate will look

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱ lose sleep! Lack of sleep helps with memory loss and brain fog. This can act similarly to dissociation.

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱ create a headspace! Depending on how complex you want the space to be, make different places/layers/rooms for different types of alters to hang out!

[gothic-ouji]

Hello lovelies! For those that don't know, I have a subliminal channel, and my paid requests are open (discord nitro and codashop genesis crystals). If there's a large amount of transids you wish to transition to and can't find a subliminal that fits them all, but you don't want a whole playlist that could be hours long, I'm just the guy for you!!

Please contact me on here through asks or dms, or on discord (ask in the comments)!

and if you don't know abour loa, I strongly recommend you give it a try. it's helped us a lot with transitioning (plural, abled, etc)

[ill-put-a-usb-in-you]

hi! I'm cissinglet and I'm sort of thinking I wanna transition to transplural of some sorts but I have absolutely no idea how to. can you please give me some tips? and by tips I mean completely beginner tips. thank you!

also I'm sorry if this is bothering you. .

also is 🍓 taken as a sign off?

Hello new anon! No, you are not a bother at all, I am more than happy to help you or anyone else :) As for tips, here are some tips of mine: Brainstorm what you want your system to look like! Google images or a creative game like Minecraft can help you design a headspace, and creating non-introject designs can be done in Gacha Club or Picrews! Set up Pluralkit or SimplyPlural! This can help with details, and the group functions can be used to organize parts of headspace or system roles if you so desire.

Install a notes app, this can help communication when you are offline for example! And most of all, treat your headmates like they're already there, and this will cause them to be able to respond surprisingly quickly! I hope these helped! Feel free to ask me any more specific questions!

[everafter-life]

how did you guys transition to be cisplural? /nf

-(a transplural looking for advice)

Well, our first step was having other disorders with similar symptoms /hj

Okay now for my actual tips, subliminals. You can find links on tumblr which is how i found them, and you put them on as you do other things or sleep as background noise! It helps for if you have a set schedule of stuff to do.

“Fake it till you make it” is my main mind set! Basically make a fake alter and almost rp as them but only in very very specific situations! I did that and that’s how most of them came to be :3

Put specific interests to specific blogs and treat those blogs as if they’re not yours, make a blog for like, pokemon for an alter who would like pokemon, and a separate one for one who likes photography, if that’s too much you can just do separate tags.

Interact with different people when you feel a set way, have those people be your friends for specific alters!

Treat your emotions as different people, talk to yourself randomly, let yourself space out randomly or when you need to.

There’s probably more I’ve done but i am so tired but really wanted to answer this one!

[transidtips]

Would you have any tips for transendo?

weeeellll im not exactly sure how to process this but ill try? im assuming this means endogenic

1. im pretty sure this would be pretty much the same or similar as being transplural, so maybe these tips could help?

2. if its more about not having trauma, and assuming youre a cissystem, then maybe form a trauma holder alter and put up amnesia walls between them and the rest of you?

3. if you arent a cissystem and just wish to be an endo plural then i guess just refer to above? 3:

sorry its not great just a little confused lolol
