plural they/them for the system, headmates have individual pronouns, just ask. ± bodily: adult , white , queer ± minors do not follow please. ± we are super mentally ill and shit so we ventpost on main a bunch. best to block tags and filter words for your own good. ± we don't reliably tag Anything, tread carefully‼️, but when we do tag its usually "#tw topic", like #tw suicidal, #tw disordered eating, #tw scopophobia, etc ± banner is filthpunk, we reblogged it under #my banner — this is a side blog btw —

can you elaborate on lightners and darkners being a cdd metaphor please?
The theory that Ralsei is the headband — the additional idea that Ralsei represents Kris as a kid’s “idealized self”, a kind of coping mechanism stuck in time, but is learning to grow beyond that and become his own person. The dichotomy between Lightners and Darkners, the stringent focus on roles and their “purpose” of “serving” Lightners, the way Darkners’ personalities are heavily influenced by the Lightners and their hopes, dreams, and traumas. The recurring themes of disassociation of personhood and “what is it that makes a person ‘real’?” The “is it normal for a Darkner to be feeling like this?” line.
It’s not one-to-one, obviously, and it might just be me (esp given the way our own system is organized, it may not be applicable to other systems bc we’re all different), but it reminds me of the relationships between a host and the other alters.
1. We introduced the term “endogenic” into the community August 2014, along with some other terms! It was in response to exclusionists (wrongly) complaining about “systems without DID” using “their words”. It was an attempt at creating nonmedicalized terms that any plural system could use.
2. It was also a way to do away with terms that had fallen into disfavor— specifically “natural systems”, a term that had been in use possibly as early as 1994. It was disliked because people felt it implied that trauma-caused systems were unnatural. “Endogenic” fixed that.
3. The word “endogenic” was lovingly created to help systems put their experience into words. All it means is “a system not formed by trauma”; it doesn’t imply any other cause, set of beliefs, or experiences. It doesn’t imply the system is nondisordered or doesn’t have trauma. It doesn’t mean any other system’s origins in trauma or dx status is “invalid” or whatever.
4. Though the terms were eventually posted to tumblr, the idea didn’t start there. Tumblr was created in 2007; the concept of systems not caused by trauma has, again, been online since the 90s. Nor was the term created by singlets! We’re a trauma-caused system with DID.
5. “Endogenic” wasn’t created as an insult or to exclude anyone. We have loved ones who are endogenic. Many of the terms in use now were created by endogenics. They have helped preserve plural history, and defended the community. They are good people, and real systems. The hate they get is completely senseless.
Thanks for coming to our talk. Please stop insulting endogenic systems, and educate yourselves instead, thanks. (Unless it’s just pure malice at this point in which case, fuck off I guess.)
https://endogenichub.weebly.com/ is a decent site to learn more.
Oh I forgot to clarify, this argument was about wether or not to make a separate blog for system things, not if I should stop drawing these comics altogether. As you can see, by the fact that this is posted Here, we've reached a decision
