Hey guys, so our irl system friend made a system blog, we just wanted to shout them out (they didn’t ask, but we asked if it was okay!) since we have known them for about 3 years now, they are cool ^^

@dippers-headspace

(Not tagging since this isn’t a system thing really, just wanted to shout out our friend to our followers)

[theswiftheartsystem]

To my fellow systems that support all origins and to the endogenic systems that follow us:

You can cleanse your feed of anti endo hatred by blocking their tags.

The two we blocked are "endos dni" and "endos fuck off"

As soon as we did that it cleaned out a lot of the annoying hate posts we were seeing.

If you haven't, try blocking tags. It may help you.

[theswiftheartsystem]

We look at who follows us sometimes and we can confirm a few anti-endos follow us 😭 “ENDO SUPPORTERS DNI” how did you get to our blog?!?!

How did they just not notice?!?! We have “pro-endo” all over our blog

"endos dni!!!" seeks out endo to harass "endos dont interact!!!" interacts with the first endo they s

The Middle rainbow stripe is so cute!!!!!

this looks so good!!!!

Got bored and decided to make our own plural flag since we didn't like the other ones (no hate to the makers y'all worked hard on them and we respect you for that )

(This flag is meant for ALL systems including NON-TRAMUGENIC please do not use this flag if you are anti-endo as it was made with all plurals in mind)

This flag is for all systems meaning both DIDOSDD and endos.

Explanation and ID under the cut

The blue represents acceptance of and from the plural community. The orange represents togetherness and recovering (if disordered) and working together to become your best selves. The white represents the entire community from those who are disordered or non-disoreded questioning plurals to plurals who have known for years to people who feel in-between. The rainbow represents how each system is different and how plurality is a spectrum and how no system will be exactly alike. The & is a common symbol to represent plurality.

Image ID

[ A rectangle with a slightly saturated blue and orange horizontal strip on the top and bottom. In the middle there is a horizontal rainbow strip that is surrounded by two White horizontal strips. On top of both the white and rainbow strips there is an & symbol which is a very dark purple nearing black]

*Likes a single reblog by a friend in a smaller fandom*

our tumblr moving the ocean over and now only showing us content related to that fandom and nothing else:

[theswiftheartsystem]

A little reminder: we as systems have the power to make change. We as systems have the power to boost each other up, rather than push each other down. You are powerful. Fight for yourself because by doing that, not only do you make it better for yourself, but it helps push the world into a better place.

You are incredibly powerful. Thank you for being yourselves.

Non-disordered plurality vs. Endogenic plurality: what’s the difference? (FAQ system edition)

What is plurality?

in its simplest form (it’s more complex then this, but this is at its simplest) the experience of multiple beings within one body. The most main stream form that gets talked about is DID, but there is many other forms of plurality. Within the mental health field, systems may also be diagnosed with OSDD-1, UDD, P-DID, (when it comes to labels for plurality at least, misdiagnosis is unfortunately very common as well) typically these get associated with traumagenic plurality, but this isn’t always the case since they are ultimately labels to help categorize plurality in a medical sense. Also not every system falls under these categories!

What’s endogenic plurality?

Endogenic plurality is typically a system who identifies that the system they are apart of was not formed from trauma. This isn’t always the case though! Systems can be Endogenic and traumagenic at the same time. Often times this gets called Multigenic, Mixed Origin, and/or Traumaendo. Also while some systems may identify as fully endogenic, this does not mean they don’t have trauma.

What’s traumagenic?

Traumagenic is a system formed from trauma, it is often associated with childhood trauma, but this isn’t always the case. Once again, traumagenic systems can be endogenic at the same time!

What’s “disordered plurality”?

All this term means is that the system in question deals with significant distress from plurality. This can be caused by amnesia, mental illness, society, not being used to being plural, and many, many other factors. Non-disordered means the person is not dealing with significant distress from the fact they are plural.

So what’s the difference?

Anyone can feel distress from being plural. A endogenic system may be considered a disordered system for many reasons, like maybe they are struggling to manage the fact they are plural along with depression, or they feel a lot of internalized shame and fear about it.

Non-disordered plurality just means the system is not in significant distress from being plural. This can range from a system functioning perfectly fine, to healing trauma, and healing amnesia barriers enough to function well.

Non-disordered plurality simply is functioning in a healthy manner with headmates, while endogenic plurality is referring to how the system originally formed. It’s something that will and does fluctuate overtime.

guys- can we stop pretending traumagenic plurality is so different-? Yes it’s very different, but it has many similarities and overlaps with endogenic plurality- it isn’t opposite sides of a coin, more a spectrum of plurality- I’m not saying both are the same, or that traumagenic and endogenic systems don’t need safe spaces, but we would get a lot more done if we just teamed up guys-

(also, endogenic does not mean the person doesn’t have trauma, it just means their origin/one of their origins is separated from trauma, you guys are embarrassing yourself everytime you pretend they inherently don’t have trauma, we have met endogenic systems with like the amount of trauma we have, still endogenic.)

This is meant to be light hearted and silly, adding this since people will always find a way to take it wrong 💔

This isn't really a question but. We've been really struggling as a system lately - it's mainly just me and my host atm and it seems like others are there. We're trying to figure it out. Anyways. You help us not feel so alone. My host really struggles, especially believing that I'm real. She really really tries. But it's so hard existing and knowing you exist and then having someone basically convince themselves that they must have made up your existence (even though you're fighting for it) just because it doesn't fit some sort of ridiculous tiny box that exists somewhere online. I save your posts (and I've luckily found others too, close by to your acc) and I show her and it helps us both so much. We haven't been diagnosed with DID or OSDD. But my host is so scared of not being believed that she/we're plural, no matter what place it could have come from that she's scared of even reaching out for help, because of how much we read online. We are trying to understand ourselves. A lot of the community is really scary and hateful and it's hard to know where is safe to reach out. I just wanted to send a message of gratitude to you. You're making a difference, even in the people who don't say anything. You feel like a safe space. Thank you so much. 💓

Thank you for this message ^^ I’m glad our blog has helped you💙

We started this blog because we wanted to help those who where in the same position as we had been. Being plural of any origin can be a scary life change, and I hope your guys host gets to feeling better about it. -Unknown

Normally only one of us adds our feelings and stuff, but I used to be in the same position as your host. I was in this deep denial which spiraled into self destructive behavior. What I would recommend is trying to remind your host that she’s ok. It’s nothing to fear, it will affect how her and everyone’s life plays out, but that’s okay. Life is not over the moment you’re plural, and she will be okay.

Give her the time she needs to process this change in your guys life. It’s okay to be scared and confused, and frustrated, and a million other emotions at once. -Edward

Traumaendo systems are valid and real!! You all are the coolest!!

[theswiftheartsystem]

It's so funny to me that a very queer nonhuman with a serious typing quirk and a white man who's as straight as a pole can coexist in a system at the same time

[theswiftheartsystem]

Tw: very aggressive anti-endo post I’m responding to (Syscourse of course with that.) also I will most likely curse here and come off as very angry.

Okay, so I normally wouldn’t do this, but this post genuinely pissed me the fuck off. I blocked out identifying information of the person because it’s not about this person, it’s about the general misinformation spread by these people. Please do not harass this person, this post is clearly engagement bait, which is what ultimately made me decide to do it this way.

Religious forms of plurality has existed and been known about far longer then DID has. Not just Tibetan Buddism. Which just shows you haven’t done any fucking research whatsoever. That’s pretty typical for posts like this, but still.

“Support actual victims” A lot of endogenic systems have trauma as well, but you deny them the right to exist because the trauma isn’t valid to you. It isn’t the “right” way. A lot of endogenic systems form alters to because there brain isn’t shielding them from the trauma by forming DID or OSDD, or a different form of plurality, so they fucking do it themselves. But no, they don’t fit your narrow views of plurality so therefore “to bad, so sad, you don’t deserve support” A lot of systems are Trauma-Endo, but that trauma isn’t real enough to you because you have decided “I don’t experience this, so it doesn’t exist” same fucking argument is used against queer people, people with invisible disabilities, (which DID can be, and we consider it one for ourselves personally, that doesn’t mean it is for everyone) and basically every fucking Minority.

Even if endogenic systems have no trauma, which does happen, why are you against them having a safe space??? That means they won’t be in your safe spaces because they have separate ones?!?!

I assume the persecutor thing is something to fall back on “Oh my persecutor said it, it wasn’t me!!!” As a persecutor myself, I don’t give a shit if you are a persecutor, or a caregiver, or whatever. You still are responsible for what you say and do. You are still responsible for what your alters say and do.

I assume this person is saying endogenic systems have factious disorder or something, but guess the fuck what. People with factious disorder deserve safe spaces too. Factious disorder is a real fucking disorder not just a quirky thing to call people. They deserve help and therapy with factious disorder, like you deserve treatment for DID.

Also as a final thing to add, it’s funny how sysmeds complain about how endogenic systems go on tags for them, when they don’t want to see it, and then purposely try to make upsetting post and using the tags used by the community so they see them and get triggered.

Endogenic systems have done nothing fucking wrong to you by existing.
