PERENNIAL HOST — An unofficial flag for the term Perennial Host, which means (to quote the original coiner), "A perennial host is an alter whose role as host is permanent. A perennial host may have other roles, but they will always be the host until fusion or dormancy."

Colors chosen because the flag creator is a P-DID system xemselves, and xe enjoys the palette.

Perennial host flag

Quite literally just the inverted version of @/spiralcoining 's temporary host flag we legit did nothing

--

A perennial host is a headmate whose role as host/outernaut is permanent. A perennial host may have other roles, but they will always be the host until fusion or dormancy. A perennial host will rarely, if ever, be able to leave front, but they will always at the very least be co-conscious. They will likely have trouble accessing headspace, if they're able to at all.

Narcissistic Trait Holder:

A narcissistic trait holder is a role for an alter who holds traits that are found to be narcissistic in the system. They may help manage these traits, or they may enable them. These alters are typically triggered into front when situations arise that affect their narcissism.

There are three types of these holders; positive, negative, and general/neutral.

-A positive narcissistic trait holder may front when the system is praised, rewarded, valued, or elevated in status. Such as a professor highly grading their work and claiming them to be very intelligent or creative, or if the system is given a promotion at their work to a higher position. These holders may front to hold onto the ego boost and keep the memories as evidence that they are indeed better than others. Positive narcissistic trait holders may also be ego holders or confidence holders.

-A negative narcissistic trait holder may front when the system is devalued, disregarded, chastised, or lowered in status. Such as being excluded from activities they felt they should be part of, or ignored by those around them when they feel they deserve praise and attention for hard work. These holders may front to lash out or assert that the system is not at fault for the situation, and may try and find reasoning for failure or try to cope with the situation by participating in activities that boost their ego. Negative narcissistic trait holders may also be anger holders, insecurity holders, or envy holders.

-A general/neutral narcissistic trait holder fronts in any variety of situations, and can fulfill the roles of both negative and positive narcissistic holders. This is a catch all.

NOT EXCLUSIVE TO NPD, coined for anyone who experiences narcissistic traits! However, coiner has NPD, and made this specifically with personality disorders in mind.

Day 1/? of making flags for plural terms that have no flag (according to Pluralpedia). For the time being, if you want to request a flag be made, please COMMENT or REBLOG (do NOT send it in my asks)

…

Ameliorator: An ameliorator is a headmate who provides support to other headmates during moments of extreme distress by talking to them. These moments may include flashbacks, panic or anxiety attacks, PTSD episodes, and other intense periods of panic.

…

Guzzler: A guzzler is a headmate whose role is feeding and/or hydrating the body and/or system. They can look for food, learn to cook, scavenge, etc. Some might be assisting other headmates with eating disorders, feeding the body so they won't have to personally experience eating or have to engage in it if that's too hard for them, or they might help headmates in headspace to eat, if eating is necessary to keep their forms alive.

…

Internal Therapist: An internal therapist may do a number of different things, but this role is generally centered around helping other headmates. An internal therapist may help other headmates to process emotions in a productive manner: and assist them in effective, honest, and safe communication regarding issues.

…

Reliever: A reliever is a headmate that helps the system release pressure or stress via fronting. They may simply spend leisure time in the body, or handle any other task while maintaining a more relaxed mindset.

first image: this flag has deep purple, light grassy green, white and pale purple stripes. in the center of the flag are a few white flowers with a yellow center. meant to represent the word "perennial" by a flower.

second image: the exact same as the first flag/ image, except this flag does not have the flowers as an icon in the center.

3rd image: this flag has faded-grassy-green, lighter faded green, white, and a yellow to orange ombré stripes. in the center is a purple flower with purple leaves stemming from each side horizontally.

4th image: the exact same as the 3rd flag/ image, except this one is without the purple flower icon with the leaves stemming from it in the center.

Freakperspesque / Weirdoperspesque

pt: freakperspesque / weirdoperspesque

A perspesque term for people who feel as if being a freak or being a weirdo is inherently tied to how they want to be seen, and/or is deeply tied to how you want others to perceive you. Especially (but not necessarily) for reclaiming from social out-casting due to neurodivergence, physical disabilities, or being queer.

Coined for myself as I strongly identify with, and want to be perceived as a "freak" or "weirdo" in a reclaimative way due to growing up being seen as one in an inherently negative light.
