Echovoid @echovoid-system - Tumblr Blog

fuck it I'm moving blogs -> @echovoidsystem

I'm just tired of this not being our main lmao

#echos #it's gonna be literally the exact same just new location #i just hate not being on my main cause so many things are restricted to just main for some reason #sideblogs are annoying sometimes

can you not reply to posts as a sideblog,,,,,?

#echos #i keep trying to reply to a post but it won't let me be this blog it's staying as my main....#heck

echovoid-system

is it weird to have systems that are like. completely split in two (or more ig). like as if they're two completely separate systems. and the two can't really interact with each other at all

echovoid-system

update to this: we're settling on the definition of sidesystem, but we'll probably still continue to refer to them as a completely separate system in casual mentions because that's really how it feels? all y'all's responses were helpful though, thanks

#echos #we're calling them our 'sister system'#as in how boats built the same way are called sister ships #we're separate boats but we have the same vessel blueprint. we just have different crews #also it's funny cause ruby (host of our sidesystem) is echo's sister

i wish there were websites built specifically for systems where we could easily list who's in the system n stuff. carrds are really annoying

#echos #especially when you run out of space and the carrd is just like 'hey! to add more stuff you gotta pay'#i really like the way simplyplural is structured but theres no website like that #so it's all restricted to my phone and i can't edit it on desktop #which i hate editing on mobile a lot

noooo why does this minecraft modpack have the resident evil baby 😭😭

#echos #i hate that thing so much why is it here 😭

dammit i wanna play skyrim again

#echos #im playing a mc modpack #and it's all medieval themed and cool #and the sound effects and music in it are all taken directly from skyrim #and like. fuck!! i wanna play it again #but my computer SUCKS #it can barely handle this modpack #i tested it and opened skyrim at one point on this thing #and the game runs! it can exist!#but it insta-crashed the second i opened the door to breezehome 😭#Ruby had a hyperfixation on that games lore so they knew so much about it #especially the khajiit #their system was skyrim themed like mine is hk themed #and they also had a khajiit fictive he was cool #they were especially interested in the lilmothiit but those are canonically extinct so there's not a lot of lore around them

i love how the second i make a sideblog i immediately start using it more than my main

#echos #i finally finished this blog setup and have subsequently abandoned my main oops #i still use the main for fandom stuff but i post more here than there #idk i like taking here it feels more. real i guess #idk why #ig tw for unreality but i really struggle with acknowledging reality #and feeling grounded #possibly because this isn't my body I'm just borrowing it from Ruby #ironic that when i was 12 before i ever knew what a system was #i wrote a story about a girl sharing a body with another soul #she ended up with many souls in her body so it was almost like a system #The only thing was it wasn't a switching situation #she would use them to shapeshift into whatever body the soul had had #so like she had a dragon and wolf and owl and dolphin etc etc #but she could communicate with the others via her dreams #it was kinda cool #but like. The main thing about the girl was that the human body wasn't even hers #she'd become fused with it in youth because she'd lost her own body and latched onto the human's to stay alive #and anyways. yeah that's kinda like me. the human's gone dormant and I'm in control of the body now.#only difference is i can't shapeshift. unfortunately.#i just realise i said i wrote it but technically Ruby did #our memories are kinda blurred together #it's body memories. so i just automatically say i out of habit

hmm. should i make a bad decision

#echos #i need to do this at some point anyway so it's now or later #i need to test and see if I'm allergic to shrimp lol #but instead of. actually going to an allergist and testing it professionally #I'm gonna just eat some and see if i Die /hyp #it doesn't actually affect me bad it just makes my stomach hurt #if that was what caused it at least.#but like. do i test it now or another day #side note i have weird allergies #like shrimp isn't so weird but #I'm allergic to broccoli. and avocado and kiwi #cause they're related to latex and I'm allergic to that too #but every now and then a new latex plant will pop up and I'll have to add it to the list 😔

i wish there was a way to tell people who was fronting instead of straight-up saying it or like. wearing a nametag & outing the system

wellthatschaotic

ok so. we were recommended a video on fronting indicators and i watched it and my first 2 thoughts were earrings or hair ties (as bracelets our hair is too short for a tie)

the thing is, both would be a little difficult to transport, as we have ~10 frequent fronters (give or take) so that would be either 10 pairs of earrings or 10 bracelets. so we'll have to think on that

wellthatschaotic

we also have temporary tattoo markers so maybe we could like. draw a symbol? but that might last too long if we switch more frequently again unless we draw over it maybe idk

HAD THIS IDEA FOR THE LONGEST TIME:

ok so like

A ring

But it's a special ring

It's one of those that have like an internal turning mechanism (imagine something like a revolver, that think the bullets go into that you spinnnnnnnn)

But that spin thing is in the ring

And there's the front face of the ring open, which shows a colour/symbol/letter/etc.

You spin the face to show a different one

Like it clicks into place

So whenever a switch happens you just change the ring to the corresponding colour/symbol/whatever and there you go

All of us have an asigned colour already so it works

Several problems tho:

-not sure how it would work so I couldn't make it if I tried

-may be difficult to have if there's like over 10 people in the system, which is a lot of systems

-adding new indicators is basically not gonna work unless you remake the ring and I don't think you wanna reforge a whole ring everytime a new headmate appears

-also we might forget to switch the indicator anyway so

But yea we're also still thinking of ways to help with this

We're currently trying out vrchat because we heard that the avatar switching can be really easy for systems, and it seems pretty good so far, but don't think that can help irl

I WANT TO DESIGN THIS

chimericchaos

I HAVE COME UP WITH A BASIC SKETCH

Ok so the core idea here is based off of a Minecraft Piston Feed Tape, which is basically a redstone contraption that moves blocks around in a circlular fashion (for more info, search "mumbo jumbo redstone" on youtube, he uses one every couple of videos), and basically here the premise is the same: rotate a strip of paper in a clockwise (or counter-clockwise) fashion, and the indictors (in the example we used colours, since our system is colour-coded) will rotate along with it.

We don't have much knowledge on how gears or conveyor belts work, so I can't work out an exact design, but the general idea is there (and I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, in fact I'm sure you can just make the whole thing out of paper and move the strip manually and it would not only be more accessible for the avarage (help I can't spell) person to find the materials for, but also FAR less expensive to make, and remake if need be)

Looking at it visually, it's clear the same problems are still present in that it would be expensive and time consuming if made out of proper materials, and does require a bit more research as to how to make it

I have also thought of a similar design to this, but as something more watch-like. The greater perimeter and surface area of the strip in that case would allow for bigger indicators, or simply more indicators, which may be nessessary[ I still can't type] for large systems

In conclusion: I think this is certainly an idea we as a comunity should explore, as it would not only signify to family/friends who is fronting, but also help identify other systems! Similar to the semi-colon-on-the-wrist-thing (I have stopped thinking) one could make their presence known to other systems silently by wearing something like this

Hope this helps

ifkfkf AMAZING

we'd probably prefer it as a bracelet (not many of us like rings but we do like bracelets!) perhaps we can attach it onto bracelets we already have!

also, i was thinking today (unusual i know /j) and what if there were like. icons or charms that we could clip to a bracelet? similar idea but slightly different i guess? we'll probably test them out (and tell our system allies)
