pinned post time ★ i’m salem or any other names i’ve ever used before, this is my new blog where i do exciting things like screaming about my interests! woohoo

plural aroace & aplatonic. also i have lots of issues but don’t worry about it 👍 i can be normal about The Characters™

if you have ‘anti endos’ or ‘anti willos’ anywhere on your profile i am blocking you idgaf. you’ve been warned!

genuine question wrt the anti-"endo neutral" post you reblogged: why is it not okay to not know? the post says its not okay to be neutral because "you either think they exist or you don't it's that fucking simple"; so "i don't know" is never an acceptable option??? must everyone immediately pick a side, even singlets, even if they don't know/understand/care, even if they don't want to engage with it? genuine question. is this actually what you believe or am i not understanding/somehow pissing on the poor? thank you in advance for clearing it up

Calling it "picking a side" when the argument is whether or not someone exists is wild. I'm sorry, but my pre-trauma headmates exist. If you are "neutral" to the argument of "do you exist or not", I don't know what to say to you.

Think of it in context of any other oppressed group. Let me use some of my own identities as an example

"Intersex people exist" "intersex people don't exist" "I'm intersex neutral" - how do you think that sounds? How can you be neutral on the existence of an intersex person? Either you believe in a sexual dichotomy or you dont.

"Nonbinary people exist" "Nonbinary people don't exist" "I'm nonbinary neutral" - how can you be neutral about enben? You either believe their genders & nongenders are real or you don't.

"Psychotic people exist" "Psychotic people don't exist" "I'm psychotic neutral" - Again, what? Neutral on the existence of psychosis in people?

You cannot be "neutral" over whether someone exists or not. You cannot be neutral on whether someone's experience is real or not.

I am an endotrauma system. I have diagnosed DID too. My system started off endogenic. If you say you're neutral about endogenic systems, y'know what you're saying? You're saying that you're "neutral" about the debate over whether my headmates Ally and Gwen exist. And that's fucked up. Their existence isn't something to be "neutral" about.

You can't be neutral about someone's existence and oppression. You can be uninformed on what's going on, but in such a case, I think it's super weird to call yourself "neutral" because that communicates that you're fine with hanging around bigots, that you're fine with hanging around fakeclaimers. Just say you're uneducated.

It's literally like saying you're "LGBTQIA+ neutral" or "autism neutral" or neutral to whatever other oppressed group.

(And before people take this out of context, no, I'm not saying that endogenics are more oppressed than traumagenics. We are equally oppressed cuz we live in a singletnormative world and struggle in different ways. I am endotrauma, I know what it's like on both sides.)

love reading about people’s takes on obsession, but i fear some of us are losing the plot. when discussing bear’s actions, if you say “well, he is a man, and that’s just what men do” then you are outright giving him an excuse for his behavior. being an asshole is a conscious choice he is making, not something he inherently is. you have to properly hold people like him accountable or nothing will ever change.

the backrooms are simply not as scary conceptually if there is Something In Them

[toastyglow]

the whole reason why they're so unnerving is BECAUSE there's nothing in them!! because they're unrelentingly liminal and lonely and uncomforting. there shouldn't be a monster guy in there chasing you. you should glimpse other humans (?) from a distance but they walk away before you can close the gap and then they're gone. things should run away from YOU. do u get it

[toastyglow]

"and there was a MONSTERowooowwohhhh" the monster is isolation and banal beige sameness and uncanny valley architecture. you fool. you rube. you're putting a hat on a hat and the second hat is not only unnecessary but it ruins the first hat!!!!!!! "there's a monster in there" great so now it's just another place for a monster to be. ridiculous

can we like. honestly talk about how difficult it is to live as a system in a singlets' world. like as a separate thing from the challenges of dealing with trauma or internal conflicts like. specifically the pain of hiding your multiplicity from others.

i cannot go to work and say "hey guys, it's rogue today" and then just be rogue. i cannot say to my mom "hey, sophie wants you to pick up something from the store." i cannot say "hey, can you give me a second, i have to deal with something internally real quick" and then turn my attention in to the headspace.

our child alters cannot be children except online and around maybe 2 people irl. if a child alter fronts around our family or at work they have to just be an adult until an adult alter comes back.

we cannot use our own names. we cannot speak with our own voices. our loved ones do not know us. our distinct individualities and experiences of life are flattened down into the amalgamated person we are forced to pretend to be.

i implore singlets to just fucking think about if you could tolerate living that way.
