wee little intro post for our system and the alters who post here
last updated: Feb 16, 2026
we are Bluebird, a PDID system
our system is neurodivergent and queer
bodily 22, afrolatin, and chronically ill
we are taken!
this blog is our space to talk about system thoughts and find community
we are also a therian ('types vary by headmate) so we post about that sometimes :D
we're absolutely looking for people to talk to who are friendly toward systems and alterhumans, or are systems/alterhumans themselves!! that's why we're here lol (it's our first Tumblr blog) so please feel free to send asks or dms <3
we're not fussed about what language you use for us. parts, headmates, alters, system, collective, EXCEPT please don't refer to us as 'pieces'
our blog is a safe space for everything except bigotry and belligerence
our host is, in his words, 'the weirdest bitch alive', so more likely than not, you'll be accepted here. we're open minded <3
no specific DNI but if you're a dick you'll get blocked.
we are anti-endo
alter intros are below the cut <3

name/pronouns: Felix, all pronouns (and I mean ALL of them)
identity: human & bird/lizard/dragon/coatl therian
role: frontstuck host
intro blurb: formerly clueless host now doing my darndest to work with my system <3 I mean it when I say I'm the weirdest (meaning least mainstream) bitch alive. I'm a pagan, polyamorous, stoner therian. I love to goof, and I’m hard to offend, but I’m also way too woke so don’t be surprised if I check you on something.
intro blurb: yeah caretaker but in the loosest sense bc really I just enjoy chilling tf out but that's important for our function too lol, and I take care of the self care stuff <3 also kind of a loose introject of Marceline from Adventure Time but separated enough that it's more like I kin her and we look somewhat alike. I just vibe tbh but I'm vital to system function cuz I'm the only one with a consistent ability to chill (love y'all <3)
Intro blurb: The White Guy™. MARINA stan. My drag name would be Zesty Primadonna.

name/pronouns: Rhys, he/him
identity: human
role: protector
intro blurb: Fav song is King's Rant by Masego. I'm kind of an introject of Rhysand from ACOTAR, but don't call me Rhysand. I'm Rhys. That's all about me, really. I don't front often because I hold a lot of the system's dysphoria, but I'm around.
Reblog if you are a safe place for people who used to identify as endogenic/tulpas before realizing they were either a) a DID/OSDD system or b) not a system at all
any other systems who don't know? i can't figure out how many of us we are, our roles, if we have did, partial did or polyfragmented did, how many are dormant, how many are active, how many are in front (and so much more) no matter how much i try. we are so blurry and confused all the time it's impossible to get any usable information out. don't even get started on the innerworld, that's a whole other conversation.
anyone that relates or can explain why this happens?
obligatory disclaimer that i’m not a medical professional nor am i in your head but maybe this will help: CDDs like DID, OSDD, and PDID are meant to be covert, especially from the person who has it. CDDs are coping systems that the brain creates to deal with trauma. your brain is going to gatekeep information from you so that the system can keep functioning without interference. this why denial is such a huge symptom for a lot of systems. your brain literally wants to hide the disorder from you. whether it be amnesia, denial, dissociation, etc, the disorder is built to hide itself. it’s a protective mechanism. in a lot of cases, the brain will hide the full depth of the trauma, or even the fact that there was trauma in the first place. your brain is trying to protect you. it sucks. it makes it hard to gather information. that’s the whole point of the disorder. it’s trying to protect you from the depth of what’s going on. it’s building dissociative walls around what you went through and are going through to keep you from the depth of it. there may even be gatekeeper parts in charge of this.
in our system this shows up as forgetfulness and poor communication. if an alter tries to tell me something i’m ‘not supposed to know’, i won’t be able to hear them.
if you’re looking for advice, i’d say write everything down. everyone says that, but it really works for us. we journal extensively about system goings-on, and keep a catalogue of alters and their traits. otherwise we forget. it doesn’t have to be organized. you can scribble on a post-it that you think you met someone new, and what you noticed about them. you can make a note in your phone where you write down your symptoms and when you experience them. scribble down what you know, if you can. more will follow. i’m sorry if writing things down doesn’t really work for you, because that’s lowkey all i have.
I referred to my headmates as 'the voices' for a while because I hadn't accepted that I was a system and their voices were the first symptom that was overt enough that I couldn't explain it away, but it's become a joke now
However. We believe wholeheartedly that before you self dx you need to do A LOT of research. Both into what you suspect you may have and other disorders with overlapping symptoms.
And remember, once the research has been done Its okay if you were wrong initially. No harm no foul
Being chronically ill physically AND mentally sucks cause when you are mentally ill, you see motivation posts about "think about what you can control, you can control what you do, what you eat, how you exercise..."
And when you are physically ill, you see posts about "think about what you can control! What you think, what you say, who you are..."
I can't control what I do or say (tourettes). I can't control what I eat (anorexia). I can't control how I exercise, because if I exercise, I'm in so much pain. I can't control what I think for SO MANY REASONS. And now, I cannot even control who I am.
