host speaking hi. anyway. extremely ramble-y answers under cut yippee
🛰️ - do you have a high headcount?
yeah. the count is absurd and its really hard to clean up stuff like sp because everyone is just yappy enough to avoid getting archived/deleted. sp is actually super annoying to use bc of this so i (not Me but the ones up here who are better at organizing) am trying to transfer everything to something like. idk notion? obsidian? but with the Sheer Amount of people and less-formed people it's really tedious and system notion stuff is overwhelming when you have 200+ people.
👾 - do any members of your system have typing quirks?
most of them have never communicated with anyone so this answer probably isn't entirely accurate but there is precisely one member who double-spaces hyr text. absolutely no one else we know of has anything that could be considered a full-blown typing quirk and we have no idea why shy does that.
🚀 - does your system have any nonhuman alters?
super nonhuman-heavy and that's probably because of what made us a system in the first place. a lot of headmates are in the "human-adjacent but not quite right" category, not like vampires but indescribable things that just sort of. appear human-ish. we also have a lot of animated suits of armor.
☄️ - is your system neurodivergent?
yeah. i hate that being neurodivergent is a "faker" criteria more than almost anything on this list but anyway.
🔭 - does your system use neopronouns?
not collectively but a lot of individual headmates do, we have way more aux-only members than we do neo/xeno users but this is similar to the above answer where i feel like the subreddit is mainly there to bully nd people.
🌠 - does anyone in your system have dyed hair?
yes-ish? if you count any unnatural hair color as dyed then yeah we do. if you have a super strict definition of dyed hair being "they have said their hair is dyed" then no.
🌙 - is anyone in your system nonverbal?
some are completely nonverbal but most of us can type or at least understand spoken/written language. even fewer of the nonverbal folk can't understand words at all. a lot more of us are either semiverbal or fully verbal but don't speak for any number of reasons.
🪐 - does your system have angry or "dangerous" persecutors?
yes to both, but the overlap between our angry persecutors/prosecutors (we are much heavier on the latter) and the dangerous ones is almost nonexistent. at least in the stereotypical way. the only one that is actively malicious/antagonistic is very collected and just doesn't care about the consequences that we all have to suffer for him saying the things he says. otherwise the super angry ones don't cause that many problems.
💫 - do any of your littles use "little-speak?"
not unless they're being funny about it. i (adult) also technically use it but it's again for the same purpose of being funny/nonserious. we don't do it to make fun of those who do, of course.
🌌 - does your system have little/no amnesia between switches?
it heavily depends on who's switching in, who's switching out and even sometimes why the switch happened. sometimes we can remember enough to function and other times it's like ?? what happened. there's also the issue where someone who was co-conscious will leave and somehow take the fronter's memory with them, and even worse are the times where we have no memory for no discernible reason.
🌟 - does your system have fairly clear communication?
see above. a lot of our communication is in feelings or loose ideas rather than words and we can probably figure it out via context but some people just cannot get through to others/no one can get through to them.
🌘 - do you have a large or complex headspace?
yeah. we're very stuck in our little bubbles though so no one can see everything. that's part of why it's such a nightmare to figure out what's going on up here, it's a group effort and everyone here seems to hate group projects.
🛸 - does anyone in your system have exomemories?
yes but they're typically very mundane, which is kind of funny because what could the memory of doing laundry while (sourcemate) was at work possibly be representing. what traumatic event does that belong to /silly (it's not exclusive to introjects either which is twice as hilarious imo)
👽 - does your system have tics?
only during prolonged (month+) periods of stress + please see ☄️ and 🔭
☀️ - is your system bad at masking?
we are at least good enough to avoid suspicion save for a few exceptions. the ones that are bad at masking typically avoid interacting with others irl because of that.
✨ - does anyone in your system have an accent?
yes and no. some of us embody our own regional accent a lot stronger than others in the system but they're all still talking in our accent. some do drop syllables or slur/combine their words more often though.
🌎 - does anyone in your system speak a different language?
one is attempting to learn spanish but we struggle to make the rr sound due to speech difficulties so she's limited to writing and even then is very beginner. another one of our guys who we haven't seen in a while started teaching himself how to read hangul but he's been silent for months. any other languages we know are via the same methods a singlet would know them.
☁️ - do you use anything like pluralkit or simplyplural?
in comparison to the total headcount there are very few people that use pluralkit. simplyplural has far more people on it but most of them are private anyway and as said above it's unwieldy at this point.
⭐ - are you out about being a system?
selectively. the reason we don't interact with system posts or ask things off anon is because my blog (which is the main) has nothing to do with system stuff and i don't feel like making it about system stuff. the same goes for other social media, i only come out if i think it's necessary.
my mother only knows i'm a system because one headmate did not mask at all when speaking to my boss at the time and it concerned her enough to call my mother about it. at least that eventually led to a diagnosis but it was scary.
