henlo everyone, it's nice to meet cha! and...who are we exactly?:
✿♡✿
our collective being has many names, so we can just be referred to as the faunabells or simply bambie/attie (he/they/it). :3 our body's 20, and a lot of us are around that age too.
♡
terms we currently feel connected to: alterhuman, posic+, queer, maladaptive daydreamers, multicollective, polyplex, adaptive, & eso/neuro/paragenic.
✿
we're audhd with mid support needs + we seem to have d.i.d? we don't know, but another system of ours thinks so.
♡
the image above is our collective flag! it's colors & arrangement are mostly pure aesthetic choices, but they do have personal meanings. if we ever want to/are ask to explain our design in detail, we'll link it *here*. (there's no link as of now, and the image description is at the end below a cut. dear screen readers, we hope that's ok?)
✿♡✿
byf & interact:
✿♡✿
this blog started out as a plural positivity blog, it still is, but it now has a public journal aspect to it. we'll also host art & whatever special interest our headmates want to talk about. *here's our extensive tag list if that helps any.*
♡
we, of course, support & respect all plurals regardless of origin. we won't necessarily block you if you break your own dni, but we will if you light a match to our stove. let us cook in peace, please.
✿
by the way, please block #stim rbs if stimboards make you motion sick/or anything. other than that, this space is relatively vanilla & nut free... hopefully not too boring haha; we do have some exciting projects in progress.
♡
we do not consider multiple likes/rbs spam. i don't know if that needs to be clarified, but here's the go ahead anyway.
✿
dm & askbox status: open! just give us some time to answer, please.
✿♡✿
userboxes we've made for ourselves! though anyone can use them if they'd like. credit is appreciated, but necessarily needed.♡:
{ Image descriptions galore underneath cut: warning, it's a bit long.}
{start of image description for the very top of post:}
{ the first image: a divider of an assortment of hello kitty 3d models with a yellow heart charm on the right side while having a blue star charm on the left side.}
{ the second image: a complicated flag design that features tiny four stripes of white, pink, green, yellow running across a blue background. it's bordered with pink stars, covered in sparkles, has small hearts on the inner corners, and most notably, has a heart shape strawberry cake with strawberry themed tamagotchis on its either side.}
{ the third image: same as the first, repeated below the flag. }
{end of the top-of-post description.}
{start of userboxes description:}
{ the first userbox: a green box with my melody's pink rabbit ears poking up in a field of flowers. the text reads: this collective is shy and finds communication to be difficult. }
{ the second userbox: a pink box with a cartoon paw that's made out of strawberries in front of a green, white, and pink background. this is the pawberrygender flag. the text reads: this collective is anthro in a nonhuman sense. }

{ the fourth userbox: a pink box with a painting of a tea party hosted by rabbits. the text reads: this collective is looking for plural moots! }
{ the fifth userbox: a purple box with its image being a my melody plush. the text reads: this collective is trying to stay calm, so we are not open to discussions about discourse. }
{ the sixth userbox: a pink box with its image being a brown anthropomorphic bunny picking flowers. the text reads: this collective is still finding thr words that describes their experiences. }
{ the seventh userbox: a purple box with its image being an anime girl sitting with an unicorn. it says: this collective has issues with alexithymia, empathy, and general understanding of emotions. }
{ end of userboxes description. }
I saw a colorblind-friendly pride flag today and thought I’d try my best to make a colorblind friendly plural symbol. It took me longer than it should, and it’s still not perfect tbh.
I have come to the existential realization that my (kinda our?) desire to share our plural experiences via "inspirational, serving-the-community-good representation" posts, came from the need to have our plurality to have a purpose, a pragmatic usefulness.
(And in a saneist manner, make it out to not be that "crazy" of a label to have. I hope to talk more about this later when I can articulate my thoughts better.)
...Which, sucks because we're supposed to be an endo-friendly collective despite being mostly traumagenic with suspected d.i.d. Why am I being overly concerned with our plurality having to justify its existence by being useful? Fuck, our most popular post on this blog was a reassurance that you don't need to justify your labels to anyone.
Maybe it's because of pluralphobia and its medicalization. Combine that with our upbringing, and you get a group of people who cannot simply cannot simply just be. Some of us have to view ourselves as a singlet. Some of us have to stay inside or risk being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some of us have force the body to feel safe, even through the dysfunction.
I think that, for at least one person in here, there's a genuine desire to help other plurals to not feel alone. But that gets consumed by my anxiety of not contributing enough "practical & original" thought pieces to the community. If I couldn't see anyone gaining any new insight from our words, why would I ever let that stupid mess clutter up my blog??
No. I won't let that mindset shame ourselves anymore. We are allowed to talk about our experiences in any way we would like..because we just are.
Alright. On the topic of shutdown315, it may be best if we see this as a litmus test. How long could we go without supplies? How interconnected are we with our communities? What would you need to do in order to prepare for a real, committed shutdown?
The pragmatic reason as to why people have set the date on the Ides of March is because they see how fast fascism can seep into normalcy. So they are begging others to resist as fast as possible before it gets worst. This, unfortunately, is unsustainable. There's simply not enough time for planning, preparations, or even to spread the word via the internet...much less in real life.
Also coming from someone who vehemently hates this phrase: Sometimes, things have to get worse before they can get better, and that's okay.
What we actually need to do to combat this normalization is to resist loudly. I don't give a damn about what your aesthetic is, be punk about it. While we're doing that, we'll be planning a bigger resistance in the meantime.
There's a general strike in the planning for 2028, and I don't know much about it yet, but I thought it was still worth mentioning it.

Reqs update that's actually about American politics:
No, we haven't been writing anymore on the guide because we've fallen for the shock doctrine that's happening in the U.S. right now. It's beyond scary to be living in a fascist regime.
And, the requests will on hold for a while as we will focus on advocacy (both on/offline) and preparations for the shutdown on March 15th. If you're unsure of what we mean by that, look into shutdown315. Unfortunately, the movement does have people loudly scoffing at it, saying that it's impossible for Americans to stop participating with capital, but we still have hope that enough participation & patience will be present during the shutdown. If we all do our part in providing basic needs to our friends, family, and neighbors, we can absolutely afford to say "fuck you, I'm not gonna" to huge, lobbying corporations.
We're planning on making a post regarding on how we've managed to ground ourselves (who deals with chronic dissociation on the daily) after being psychologically paralysed by the shock doctrine. Hopefully others like us will be able to find it useful.
Remember that informed optimism is effective resistance.
Actually, we may post the imperfect version of the internal communication guide we have in our drafts, as we'd realized that information should be out there as much as possible right now. Every plural out there needs to be in contact with their fellow headmates & inform each other.

Do you really want to protest? Read the news. Genuinely, read the news. I’m not talking about your Fox or ABC or The Washington Post, I’m talking about those independent, reader-supported publications that aren’t owned by billionaires. Look for those independent journalists on Substack, YouTube, and beehiiv that you know you can trust. Start listening to podcasts.
It is absolutely imperative to stay informed right now.

we've decided to move the internal communication guide date to the first - second week of january. it's 70% done, just need to spruce up some sections.
actually. i need a moment to be real honest: i think a lot of anti-endo sentiments can be mildly traced back to unreflective instrumentalism, which is defined as a subtype of anti-intellectualism- where progress of expanding concepts are degraded/dismissed if they aren't explicitly express to be of external use.
which, sounds a bit dismissive on my part, but i'm going to explain myself.
the root of anti-intellectualism itself is caused by oppressive systems. the nature here is to undermine theories and intellectual progress in order to keep certain systematically educated groups of individuals in hierarchical power.
why be against, even the simple possibility, of non-traumagenic systems? because it's believed that those in power, such as psychiatrists, are the-end-all-be-all of information? why push for the idea that we, as a community, cannot have the say-so to defined our own experiences? especially without the explicit "okay" from medicalists?
these people, who are widely acclaimed to be some of the most intellectual of us all, are educated by an inherently corrupted system. it's the reason why we experience oppression in the first damn place.
our progress for greater acceptance is halted by the idea that plurality needs to have a "practical reason" as to why it exists. that it needs to have a purpose as to why it diverges from the anglo saxon ideal of personhood. it cannot just simply be...because that'll reveal yet another flaw of our current social norms.
here's a decent source on what it means to be anti-intellectual, particularly as portrayed in american politics.
and before we possibly get the rebuttal of "well, endos and their supporters are denying psychology! that means they're the ones engaging with anti-intellectualism!"
no and no.
no, because anyone who actually respects science understands that social sciences in general aren't able to complete the scientific method - it's way too abstract for such a rigid paradigm. so that means that there could be no scientific laws, only theories. whenever medicalists use their "scientific studies" to debunk plurality outside of trauma, they're using an extremely subjective (and often quite biased) findings to justify their status as the standard for human existence- which is innately oppressive to those who absolutely cannot fit.
to put it simpler, trying to assert the idea that psychology has a perfect view of human experiences and to challenge it means to deny science - is actually denying everything science stands for.
and no, because "engaging with anti-intellectualism" means being against any progress in theory/education that'll trip up the status quo. the status quo in this case is singlethood, and those who don't fit this standard must have an existential, neurotic reasoning behind it. plurality beyond such breaks that mold. breaking that mold does challenge the authority psychiatry has over our lives. that is what intellect is: the pursuit of knowledge, paying no mind as to whether or not the truth aligns with the world view we all are conditioned within.
