Hello! This is a blog dedicated to sharing appreciation you may have for an alter, several alters, or a whole system. Please read the pinned message for more information.
Hello! Please call us Tyler, Dylyn, or TVS. Collectively we use any pronouns. Our main blog is @thevinylshop. Sorry if anything looks weird, we've never done a blog like this before.
Information below the cut.
What is this blog about?
Well, we aim to be a place where people—both alters and singlets—can share any positive thoughts they have to an alter, several alters, or a whole system. It can be from an alter in the same system, one from another system, or a singlet. We'll even accept an alter or system's appreciation post to a singlet!
Who can send asks?
We are personally anti-endogenic and would very much prefer for endos and endo supporters to please DNI. We also ask for problematic shippers, radqueers, transIDs, radfems/TERFs, disordered abuse believers (e.g. "narc abuse"), science disbelievers, and basic DNI to, well, DNI. Thank you!
What should I avoid?
It's asked to avoid graphic talk of anything potentially triggering, but feel free to send it in WITH A TRIGGER WARNING at the top, and we can deem if it's appropriate or not.
If an ask contains triggering content and we do accept it, we will tag the trigger warning in the tags AND the main message.
When will my submission be posted?
Typically we will go through all submissions once we gain the energy to, which is often anywhere from a week to a month. Please note that we usually will go through all posts in one sitting, unless the numbers are obscene, which we will instead close asks until every single one is gone through.
All in all, we aim to be a place where people can send anonymous (or public) appreciation to a system or an alter. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an ask or dm, or our main account (@thevinylshop) one.

hi. life's been really hard. i won't get into the nitty gritty, but we've been too drained to maintain this blog. i was hoping i'd get the motivation eventually, but it never seemed to happen.
i love this blog and the safe space it offered to people. i love the positivity it brings. but i just don't think i can keep running it. i would hand it off if i could, but i made it as a side blog from my main. i don't think its possible to transfer ownership of a side blog.
i won't be deleting alter-appreciation, don't worry! i just don't think i'll be accepting asks again. maybe sometime in the future i'll give this blog another go...?
in the meantime, i seriously encourage people to make similar/the same type of blog like this one if you want. it's important to remember the good things, and this blog was one of the ways i did that. and i really hope it helped others out there
Shoutout to Aquilla, they a real one and the goat fr. He’s very kind and understanding, and like a friend to everyone, and he’s always tryna help people, and he’s always like a light when we’re feeling down, and they always try to be the best he can be for us and they’re always comforting or making us laugh or supporting us. He’s been here for like 11 years (me too), he’s my ride or die, my homie, we’re like siblings, and no one could ever hate him (if they did I would dropkick them) and honestly overall they’re just a great guy. Love him.
shout out to my in sys son gourdy (age 10) and daughter toodles (age 7), they are just the cutest.. today gourdy said the F word and toodles immediately told him no, bad word. it melted my heart. they are so cute and probably the closest i’ll ever get to having real children since we sure as heck aren’t mentally equipped to raise kids
i want to mention my in sys partner’s daughters, Addie (age 13) and Marely (age 3) too. love you all even if marely can’t read this and addie probably won’t front to see it. though i still can’t figure out how you manage to hang out in the fronting room without actually fronting.. is this a special little talent?
I'd like to appreciate vel for keeping us safe from vox and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid to get us hurt. And for babysitting him from being mean to everyone that he sees
Honestly I rarely show how much I care about other alters. I'm pretty like. Selfish. I eat all our snacks and slack off.pretty sure it's to push people away, but there's three that never push me away and they need all the love in the world.
Corvus always lets me rant and stuff and if I get uncomfy in front he'll take over.
Same with Eric. He will always listen to me and like. He makes sure I shower on low energy days.
Then there's Sharon and like she'll cook for me. When we're tired and makes sure I eat and sjjsjshs
Im so grateful for my friends adjusting their language for us while still treating us the same and joking about it but also being able to do real talk.
Im so grateful for our traumaholders and their strenght, Im so grateful for our littles being themselves, Im so grateful for all alters that deal with my outbursts. Im grateful for every moment of calm and content and solidarity we have – even if its rare.
Shout out to Starrlett. She's literally an introject of one of our stuffed animals (the one we've had since we were 6 years old). She's been dormant since we were 10-12, but she's back and ready to help. I couldn't be more thankful that she's helping with sleep... we need it.
Hi Dessa!! Love you, Dessa :D Ur literally the best sister figure I could ask for. YOU are the reason we're still in touch with femininity. The reason why we're so empathetic. The reason why we can stop to preserve our peace. You've helped us stay unashamed and interested in ancient history and learning languages. You are so lovely, and even if you like being alone and quiet and doing your own thing, you will always be one of my favorite people(even if we share a body XP). Love you, Dessa. Love you so much.
