I'm a persecutor in my system. I will talk about this. Put up with it or block me.
Wei am a median subsystem, but I don't differentiate between facets much.
I am a servant to a member of my own system. This isn't just a kink thing or even directly kink related (though that's fine too). I will also mention my master as such on occasion, deal with it.
Hey, the name's Del. I'm a fictive in a system of like 500+ people, and one of the current frontrunners. We're bodily an adult. I use vi/vir/vir/virs/virself pronouns primarily. It/its also works. I'm agender, panromantic and aromantic. I'm queer, disabled, alterhuman, terrorpunk, and will be annoying as fuck about it. I'm proud of all aspects of my identity.
I'm a weird shapeshifting entity in a brain full of other people, in a body that doesn't fit any of us. Shit's bound to get weird here. If you're not good with alterhumanity, systems, or shit like that, this isn't the blog for you. I'm an otherlinker, otherhearted, a median subsystem and a fictive--you can read more on that lower in the post.
Note with the TW tags linked below, I won't usually tag adult-ish jokes. If your brain explodes at the word "sex" this might not be a blog for you.
Ask Me Anything - Our Website - TW Tags
More under the cut.
Tags
Quick reference of tags I'll use.
op, rb, srb - Original post, reblog, self-reblog.
alterhuman, disability, plural, etc - Community specific tags for those communities.
art of me - Art of me specifically. Not my sources, me.
the heir - Tied to a specific facet. Probably posts that are violent and better-than-you about it.
the servant - Tied to a specific facet. Probably posts that are violent but in a specific pathetic way.
the villain - Tied to a specific facet. Probably posts that are very queer, violent, and homoerotic.
Alterhumanity
My system is the @interstellarsystem. We're quoigenic, prof diagnosed with DID, and we have guys from a lot of different origins in here. Tulpas, soulbonds, splits, etc. I'm personally a traumagenic walk-in.
My personal identities:
Dain (Deltora Quest) fictive
Weavile (Pokemon) otherlinker
Lute (Hazbin Hotel) fictionflicker
Millions Knives (Trigun) fictionkin
Dragon otherhearted (and dragonkin due to our system collectively being dragonkin)
Snake otherhearted
Median subsystem--I have 3 facets total, but we don't differentiate between ourselves.
Persecutor--That's my insystem role. If you don't like persecutors then I suggest you reevaluate your biases okay?
Disability
Bodily (non-exhaustive list) we have:
DID
Autism
ADHD
Schizoaffective Disorder
My Intra-disorders and held symptoms:
ASPD
NPD
I can and will talk about my disorders. I have my own disorders my headmates and system as a whole don't, this is actually a thing that happens sometimes, if you think it's fake then byee.
DNI + Stances
Uhhh I don't fucking care. Block me or something about it. I'll block you if you annoy me enough. I don't care about most discourse but I can and will block bigots. DNIs don't work and are mostly performative so I don't care.
Some general stances of mine so you can block me first, though, if you want to:
Endogenic systems are real systems. Tulpas and willogenics are too.
NPD doesn't make you evil. Neither does any personality disorder. Neither does any disorder at all. Check your ableism.
Don't like, don't read. Let people write what they want.
Fiction affects reality sometimes sure but harrassing people over ships is worse than just shipping something "problematic". You're the negative affect fiction has on reality in this case.
Psychotic folks deserve space, in any community. Accomodate them.
Locking up, killing, or abusing persecutors makes you a persecutor 90% of the time. Stop abusing your headmates and laughing about it online.
Exotrauma is still trauma. Intra-disorders are still disorders. Just because they're different than the norm doesn't mean they're not real.
Alterhumans are cool. Psychotic alterhumans are cool. Leave people be.
"Why is nobody reblogging my post?" Community Engagement 101
I've seen a lot of complaints on here that introspective or experience-sharing posts and essays don't get a lot of interactions compared to silly short posts, and while part of that is just because most people use social media to look at short-form content, it might also be because you aren't creating an opportunity for others to engage with you!
Reading about others' alterhumanity is great, but most alterhumans use their blogs as a personal journal, not as a collection of other people's experiences, so unless someone really relates to your writing or thinks it's particularly fascinating/beautiful/etc they usually aren't going to be motivated to display it on their own blog. There's also a social taboo around sharing people's personal posts, so even on social media where the whole point is sharing stuff a lot of people are hesitant about reblogging posts about others' experiences when they don't have anything to add (they shouldn't be! but they are. which creates a problem in this particular community since alterhumanity is deeply personal).
The solution? Invite others to add to your post! That doesn't mean just writing "please comment", though, you have to be a little more specific or nobody is going to know what sort of things to say. Some easy invitations are:
Does anyone else experience this?
I'm looking for advice about...
What are people's opinions on this?
Are there ways I could improve this essay?
Think of it as adding a little writing prompt to your post; the idea is to use your writing as the start of a discussion instead of it just being a piece of paper you've tacked to the wall for people to look at as they walk by. For short posts the prompt can go anywhere, but for longer posts I recommend adding it near the beginning because that will allow people to keep the prompt in mind as they read, which makes it easier to formulate a reply (and it will motivate people to start reading in the first place)! When in doubt the first suggestion of inviting people to share similar experiences is usually your best bet for alterhuman topics, with the added bonus that it'll help you find people who have stuff in common with you.
This isn't a social media marketing strategy, by the way, it's just practical advice for socializing and it also works in real life! Asking questions, especially about other people's experiences and opinions, is how you make genuine connections with others. Otherwise you're just writing in a diary and showing it to people, which is also cool but if your goal is people interacting with you that's not an effective way to socialize.
If you want to talk to people but don't know what to post, you can use this strategy in comments, too! If you ever read a post and think to yourself "I like this, I wish I had something to add" or "this person seems really cool but I don't know how to talk to them", just reblog with a simple question about their post! If someone is posting about themselves in a public space they want engagement, and stuff like "could you tell me more about..." will give both you and them something to talk about. Curiosity is good for everyone!
Do also keep in mind that this is a small and diverse community– there are simply not a lot of us on here, and of those people not everyone will have anything relevant to say about your post (most therians don't have much to say about fictionkin experiences, for example). Even just five notes is a ton! That's five whole people! I personally consider an alterhuman post popular once it breaches 30-100 notes depending on how niche the subject is. If your brain is trained on typical social media standards you will need to recalibrate your expectations and learn to appreciate that every single like is a real person who both read and enjoyed your post enough to hit a button about it. A whole person you might not even know! Isn't that cool? I think it is, and so should you.
Now back to that first point– why do other posts get traction even though they don't invite people to interact? Standalone posts that get popular are generally ones that are either helpful (e.g. resource sharing, advice, media recommendations) or evoke emotion (funny, awe-inspiring, righteous anger, etc). Those are posts that people want to share around without feeling the need to add anything, but they often take more knowledge and skill to make. On the other hand, posts that get popular due to having a lot of comments are generally either controversial (misinformation, politics, etc) or collaborative (things people want to talk about together). Of these post types, collaboration is by far the easiest (and most fun!) way to engage with others online– and any post can turn into any of these types at any time, it only takes one comment to get there!
So go out there and start some discussions! And make sure to tag your posts correctly :)
sick of hearing about "healing crystals" that "cleanse your mind and body of negative energy" i want to know which rocks can hurt you and fuck up your vibe so bad
everyone suggesting uranium isn't wrong but anyone who said "literally any rock if you're willing to resort to violence" are the only people who can get on my level. you're hired.
*to ethics board* well im sorry you feel that way (lie detector attached to me starts blaring) but i thought my experiments were benefitting humanity (lie detector has started incorporating subtle amen breaks)
