!! I'm a fictive, this is not a roleplay blog !!

*Greetings!

I am Chara/Mercy, they/it pronouns.

This is mainly my blog, but some of my headmates may post here from time to time, as this blog feels very safe to us.

All systems welcome. Doubles and source mates welcome.

Other blogs + more info under the cut.

(Last updated: June 11th, 2025)

@fruityenderman - our main.

@starlightsstorm, @allhailbloodsheep, @final-vanniez - other headmates' blogs.

Now for more about myself and this blog. Fair warning, i tend to be long winded, lol.

I am Chara, though you may also call me Mercy. I go by they/its, with a preference for they/them. Bodily 23, systeen. Aroace and agender.

I am not the host, so I will not always be around (I tend to be more seasonal, than anything). Plus I am neurodivergent, mentally ill, and disabled. So don't be alarmed if and when I drop off the face of the planet every now and then.

Yes, I am Chara Dreemurr. No, I'm not a 1-to-1 of the canon character, or your headcannons of the character. Yes, I still get euphoria from being viewed as the character. Just be respectful and don't treat me like a roleplayer and we'll get along fine.

I have quite a few source memories, and I hold them very dear. I consider it my past life and I ask you treat it with patience and kindness as these memories still bring me joy, comfort, sadness, grief, ect.

Here's a link to my source memories carrd. Consider reaching out if it sounds familiar to your own canon!

Despite my "proper" way of speech, and my long windedness, I promise I do love talking to people, and I'm not mad at you, haha. I'm just autistic and this is the way of talking that feels most comfortable to me!

I love undertale, chocolate, tea, coffee, warm yellows, flowers and gardening, grandmacore, highland cows, rain, sewing, animal crossing, tomodachi life, and more!

Anyone have any advice on how to help a headmate who just came out of a 10+ year dormancy adjust? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

8 months later I finally finished watching the undertale 10th anniversary stream and ohhhhh my god bruh. I dont think I've cried that much over undertale since the very first time we experienced it

[ghostflowers201x]

Vannie did end up making rawrs own blog, btw. Its here @final-vanniez

[existent-snail]

[ghostflowers201x]

Did it, lol. My blog now, punks. (/silly)

[ghostflowers201x]

We literally just redid our intro and stuff, but I think we're gonna let this be (mostly?) Chara's account again soon, and just be more open about sys stuff on main maybe

[ghostflowers201x]

We made a point to do all of our system posting here.....but im sooooo tempted to make my own blog.....it would be soooooo cool idk what I'd post but stillll

[moonpool-system]

I love you fictives that don't want to source separate I love you fictives that have exotrauma I love you fictives whose source memories are real to you I love you fictives with past lives as your sourceself I love you canon-divergent or AU fictives who are attached to their personal canon i love you fictives who don't want to change your identity in order to move forward. You're not inherently delusional, you're not self harming, being a member of a system doesn't mean you're not allowed to have a healthy fiction-based identity like others do. You don't have to conform to society's idea of "normality" in order to heal, or be yourself, or live a full life.

Just Grow Up

There's a paradox in a lot of plural spaces. System kids are welcome, but only if they're Literal Children who stay in child-only soft boxes where they can be ignored. If a kid wants to have an adult conversation, then they're spoken over, pushed away, or otherwise discounted more often than not- and if they're accepted, then it's often at the cost of expecting them to have absolutely no childlike qualities to "prove" that they're mature enough to stay around. We even see this pattern within systems sometimes.

What are systems without adult members supposed to do if the only place system kids can talk is in the Super Soft Safe Box? What about system kids who want to talk about theoretical physics or drugs or sex or a thousand other taboos? What about kids who function as adults? And what about system kids who are kids but don't want to live their lives in the Super Soft Safe Box like the world expects them to?

Acceptance of system kids as being wildly different from each other in mindset and ability is improving, but we still have a long way to go in treating system kids with a shred of respect and decency in wider plural spaces.

Not to mention... why is there so much intense focus on mental age as some universal concept in the first place? It feels like a lot of the plural community takes the concept of mental age as a given without considering where that idea comes from, how it affects how they treat others, and how it interacts with systemic discrimination and ableism. It can sometimes be a useful construct if approached critically, but I see so little critical thought about it.

If you want some reading on the topic, one of the articles cited is worth at least a skim- it's a fairly good surface overview of eugenics and its tie to IQ/mental age, immigration, racism, ableism, etc.

ID below the cut with the full quotes- sorry to alt texters, I fit as much as I could in there but the text limit is real.

[Image one ID begins:]

There's a subtle sort of discrimination to how a lot of plural spaces treat system kids/littles. Especially those in adult bodies, or with a particularly large gap from their body's age.

"Littles must always be supervised in online spaces or else they'll bother adults and be preyed upon." "There must be an adult in your system if you're bodily an adult- they should handle life while the kids go away to never be seen by adults again. Littles should only talk to other littles. Anything else is unsafe and sometimes pedophilic. Right?" "Littles shouldn't be in charge. They're supposed to be cared for by everyone else and kept out of sight." "You're welcome here! You just have to only ever talk in the Baby Zone that no adults ever visit to talk to you. Yeah, it's empty and no one will answer. But you want to talk, right?" "Sorry sweetie, the adults are talking and you can't be here. Even if you're capable of understanding, consenting, etc. You're not allowed to be here with us if you're not a real adult." "Littles can't take care of themselves or handle any adult responsibilities, ever!" "Is there an adult I can talk to?"

Blue, an anthro cat sitting down, looks angry at the above phrases.

What are adult-bodied systems with no "brain adults" supposed to do? Drawing of a family of stick figures, all of whom are either child-short or hunching to be shorter.

What about systems whose caretakers are their children? Systems where there is no older person to supervise? Systems finding ways to live an adult life when no one inside aligns with it? What are you supposed to do when a 5-year-old does your taxes and drives you home?

"Just grow up." Do I get a choice, or are you ripping that away from me too?

Why is "mental age" the bar people are using to decide whether someone is worthy of autonomy and respect, anyway? Where does the concept of mental age come from in the first place, and why does it exist?

From Wilson, R. A. (2024). Eugenic Thinking and the Cognitive Sciences. In M. C. Frank & A. Majid (Eds.), Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science. MIT Press. https://doi.org/10.21428/e2759450.c9a5f080:

"Eugenic traits: Prominent among the eugenic traits found in sterilization laws were those concerning cognitive ability and mental health. These traits, ordered in terms of their frequency in U.S. state and Canadian provincial sterilization laws, included feeble-mindedness, insanity, epilepsy, criminality, imbecility, idiocy, sexual perversion (or depravity), mental unfitness (or deficiency), and moral depravity (or degeneracy). As this listing suggests, these laws especially targeted those perceived to have some kind of cognitive limitation or psychiatric condition on the grounds that they were unfit and would propagate these eugenic traits to their children; approximately 70% of all eugenic traits mentioned in sexual sterilization laws in the United States and Canada concerned cognitive ability or mental health. Given this, there was a clear role for psychologists in programs of eugenic sterilization, given their expertise in psychological testing (Rose, 1985). Such testing and subsequent sterilization were conducted through emerging forms of institutionalization, such as “training schools for the feeble-minded,” especially as eugenics gained state-level backing (Miller et al., 2015). One of the roles of psychologists was to develop ways to measure those who were cognitively or psychiatrically subnormal. Emerging intelligence tests were adapted to quantify and classify those deemed “feeble-minded”or “mentally deficient” (Thomson, 1998; Trent, 1994). Binet’s famous test of intelligence, for example, incorporated the more specific existing folk categories of “imbecile” and “idiot,” adapting these to designate developmentally delayed children with mental ages, respectively, of 3–7 and 2 years. Following the translation of Binet’s test from French into English by Henry Goddard in 1908, “moron” was coined in 1910 to pick out those in the general population with a putatively fixed mental age of 8–12 years. This resulted in a three-tiered schema of intellectual subnormality—moron, imbecile, idiot—that came to be widely used in the eugenics movement. In the hands of the psychologist Lewis Terman, what became the Stanford-Binet test initially was deployed in selecting army recruits near the end of World War I (1914–1918) before being used on the general population. The three-tiered scheme was accordingly fed into the newly minted idea of an intelligence quotient (IQ) that remains with us 100 years on, with the fixed mental ages of moron, imbecile, and idiot mapped onto standard deviations from a normalized IQ of 100. From the 1920s, these tests were widely used to identify children who were candidates for eugenic sterilization, whether they were already housed in segregated institutions or within the regular school system or general community."

From Asilverm, & Asilverm. (n.d.). What’s My Age Again: Why Mental Age Theory Hurts People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Retrieved May 31, 2026, from https://www.disabilitywisdom.com/2018/12/21/whats-my-age-again-why-mental-age-theory-hurts-people-with-intellectual-and-developmental-disabilities/:

The concept of “mental age” was first introduced by Alfred Binet, co-creator of the first IQ tests, in the early twentieth century. Generally, “mental age” has been measured by comparing an individual’s score on a standardized IQ test with the average performance of their same-age peers. For people with IDD, “mental age” may also be estimated by comparing the person’s demonstrated physical, speech, adaptive or cognitive skills against the average for various age groups. Not surprisingly, “mental age” came about alongside the eugenics movement in the United States. Mental ages were used to classify various groups of “feebleminded” individuals by severity: Adults with a mental age of 9-12 years were classified as “morons”; those with a mental age of 6-8 years were classified as “imbeciles”; and those with a mental age of 2-5 were classified as “idiots.” Individuals from any of these groups were thought unfit to reproduce."

A drawing of Blue looks annoyed and concerned. It's labelled, "TFW it's eugenics again. :("

Oh yeah. Why is it always eugenics?

To be clear: I'm not saying anyone is ableist or practicing eugenics for having a sense of their own internal age. I am pointing out how systemic ableism affects how system kids are treated, how the concept of mental age stems from ableism in the first place, and how terribly many cultures treat children and deemed-children to begin with: how children and disabled people are often regarded as objects, burdens, or annoyances who don't know enough to have a say about their own needs. Is this really how we want to assume all system kids should be treated? How anyone should be treated?

How much of how system kids are treated ties back to some form of ableism, in the end? I wonder about this a lot and I feel like I never see people talk about it.
