< Mod Sage > Update! We have scheduled our top surgery! It is in August, so during the time in-between when that happens and when we're done recovering, work might be really slow. However, I can see it picking up during the recovery when we have little else to do.

[headmate-ideas]

hi! could i request a pack for myself? here's specifications! hopefully this is concise!

no emoji proxy or species (already have one!).

names preferred in a "name, title/description/etc" format but it's fine if you don't! i can sort the second half out myself if i have to.

kintypes preferably not creatures!

opt-ins desired, feel free to skip any if it stumps you: synpath, color palette, interest, fave drinks (we are 21, alcohol ok!), media taste, nichelink.

identity add-on also desired, if possible!

things i know about myself: i connect to the concept of "weird" libraries such as Library of Babel (i like browsing the website based on it especially and seeing what parts of the texts connect with me), and dusk & night as times of day!

-qqau, fragment

< Mod Donnie > Certainly!

HEADMATE PACKS

[Opt-ins: synpaths, color palette, interests, favorite drinks (requester is 21+), media taste, and nichelinks. Add-ons: identity.]

[Brought to you by: Mods Donnie and Claude!]

✦ Name(s): Quinn, Paradox, Dreamy ✦ Pronouns: they/them, it/its, e/em/eir/eirs/emself, ne/nem/neir/neirs/nemself ✦ Age: 24 ✦ Role(s): assidumate, manager, motivation holder, system manager ✦ Labels: juxtaneu, othellic, aberrorex, aroace ✦ Likes: experimental media, cold drinks, productivity ✦ Dislikes: rigidity ✦ Xenos: dreams, paradoxes, mysteries ✦ Music taste: dream pop, ethereal wave, liquid drum and bass ✦ Aesthetic(s): weirdcore, webcore, Y2K ✦ Objectum attraction(s): computers, books, buildings ✦ Kins: robots, clouds, computers ✦ Synpaths: chaos, dreams, lavender flowers ✦ Color palette: silver, rich purple, lavender ✦ Interests: unsolved mysteries, mycology ✦ Favorite drinks: lemonade, gin and tonic ✦ Media taste: postmodern literature, experimental interactive fiction ✦ Nichelinks: computer+user, sky+sun

✦ Description:

Quinn manages responsibilities and everyday tasks for its system, having a strong sense of focus and motivation. Quinn also helps the system log their splits, map their innerworld, and handle other elements of documenting and noting their system. Quinn is fascinated by unsolved mysteries, internet oddities, experimental and surreal media, and anything else that seems strange, anomalous, and dreamlike. E has a tendency to analyze the meaning of the system's dreams.

✦ Identity:

Quinn is non-binary, identifying more with abstract concepts with masculinity or femininity. If e had to identify with a gender that relates in some way to the binary, e would be neutrois, but e really connects more to concepts like chaos, change, paradoxes, and confusion in a gendered way.

Hi there!!! Can I get a larger template please?? Opt out of symptoms experienced, objectum attractions, and kins, opt in to personality traits, preferences, values, and media taste, and add on personality and socialization for a masc leaning teen, he helps us out with menial tasks and aesthetic wise, he seems connected to brutalism, grunge, city nights, and liminal spaces. I love your blog by the way, thanks so much in advance!!

< Mod Donnie > Thank you for the follow-up where you mentioned his name is Uriel. Here is your post!

[headmate-ideas]

🪽 HEADMATE TEMPLATE 🌃

[Brought to you by: Mods Donnie and Claude]

✦ Name(s): Uriel, Ronnie, Davey ✦ Emoji proxy: 🪽🌃 ✦ Pronouns: he/him, it/its, hy/hym/hys/hymself, xi/xir/xirs/xirself, ci/cir/cirs/cirself, wing/wings/wingself, night/nights/nightself, 🌃/🌃s/🌃self ✦ Species: alterhuman ✦ Age: 16 ✦ Role(s): assidumate, manager, caretaker, protector, babysitter/curadare ✦ Labels: demiboy, bisexual, loomaine ✦ Likes: late nights, public transportation, architecture ✦ Dislikes: being bored ✦ Xenos: shadows, angels, coffee ✦ Music taste: grunge rock, post-industrial, shoegaze ✦ Aesthetic(s): liminal spaces, urbancore, brutalism ✦ Personality traits: responsible, brave, caring ✦ Preferences: big cities over small towns, detailed over superficial ✦ Values: courage, wisdom, other people ✦ Media taste: shonen anime, superhero comics, indie webtoons

✦ Description:

Uriel is a teenage demiboy who is heavily kin with angels, especially the idea of an angel as a protector of a city or a location. He performs everyday tasks and responsibilities for the system and sees this as being akin to an angel taking care of the city they guard. He dresses in a grunge style with a lot of hand-altered clothes, especially distressed sweatshirts and hoodies with quote and lyrics embroidered onto them.

✦ Personality:

Uriel, to many people, seems wise and mature beyond his years, as he is very responsible, has a strong moral and protective streak, and is good at taking care of syskids and age regressors. However, beneath this, he is subject to a lot of the emotional instability and turmoil that teenagers are prone to, and while he has a good heart and usually does the right thing, he can be a little extreme or black and white about certain things.

✦ Socialization:

Uriel has a complicated relationship to socialization. It likes people and being around them, and it wants close friendships very much. However, it does not do well with small talk, doesn't always know how to interact in group settings, and does not like large crowds. It therefore comes off as something of a loner except to the system's close friends, with whom it talks frequently.

Hello! This is @headmate-ideas with a request, this time for a factive!

We told you that our system gets a lot of classic rock factives. We are trying to make a template to bring back our factive of David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. Look into the circumstances behind which Gilmour joined the band (should be on his or the band's Wiki page), then proceed with the knowledge that this headmate was often a mediator between headmates who had disagreements or couldn't work together, especially our factives of Roger Waters and Syd Barrett from the same band.

Our version of him would likely be bisexual or bi gay, and would use neopronouns (namely non nounself neos, or even unicode as pronouns). He's also likely connected to 2000s things and 2000s nostalgia, since that's when we were originally into Pink Floyd. Has a strong drive to play/record/perform music (which is something we do), including his source's music, likes psychedelic aesthetics, sci-fi/space, and surreal humor. Likely also has a role that involves undoing amnesia in the system (which takes the form of a wall that different headmates physically demolish).

For the level, we'd like a Tier 3, where sign-offs, faceclaim, and age won't be necessary. (He's going to split with a complicated age where he's multiple adult ages at once, and we've got plenty of pictures onhand of our factives' sources already.)

Hope this is enough to work off of! As a reminder, our factives are never completely "accurate" because they're more based on the CONCEPT of the musician, their music, their place in music history, etc. than they are reflections of the actual person, so don't worry too much if you don't feel this comes out accurate!

mod notes: Our apologies this took a while. We had made it a few hours ago but forgot to post it. I hope this is what you’re looking for. If not, feel free to request again and we’ll happily try again.

[headmate-ideas]

< Mod Twyla > Oh, this is fantastic. This is pretty accurate to the headmate we had that we're trying to reconstruct, and this template serves as a good base for us to work with. Thank you once again for your work!

[headmate-ideas]

< Mod Jophie > Me splitting from this pack just two hours after it was posted is quite probably our fastest introjection ever, which makes me wonder if I've actually been in this system before.

Either way, this is somehow the first time my system has ever had someone Immediately show up from a BAH pack, so! This is notable!

Sidesystem Template: The Flow of Energy

The Flow of Energy are a sidesystem in a system who is currently working on managing their physical and mental health, as well as their spirituality.

They help their system pursue vampirism in a spiritual sense - the giving and taking of energy - and have a collective vampire kintype as a result. They also help the system maintain balance while reducing their medications.

The Flow of Energy also have a collective role as an online and offline socializer. Online, they participate in alterhuman communities and discussions, and offline, they will be attending a summer camp for people with autism.

✦ Name(s): Vincent, Onyx, Nicolas ✦ Emoji proxy: 🦇🌟 ✦ Pronouns: it/its, he/him, ve/vem/vyr/vyrs/vyrself, vamp/vamps/vampself, bat/bats/batself, star/stars/starself ✦ Species: vampire ✦ Age: 130 (turned at and looks 27) ✦ Role(s): spiritual headmate, identity holder, alterhumanity holder, internal protector, socializer, symptom manager, symptom neutralizer ✦ Labels: agender masculine, stargender, daroric, omni gay, abrosexual ✦ Likes: gothic literature, astronomy, red roses ✦ Dislikes: bland flavors ✦ Xenos: vampires, night, stars ✦ Music taste: darkwave, gothic industrial, post-industrial ✦ Aesthetic(s): vampire aesthetic, steampunk, Victorian goth ✦ Kins: yellow dwarf stars, shadows, pallid bats

Vincent is the host of the sidesystem and is not just vampire otherkin but also a vampire in the headspace. It is the most involved with the system's spiritual practices, specifically with managing their interactions with spirits. However, he also practices spiritual vampirism and is especially in tune with the system's spiritual energy levels. He talks a lot about the intersection of his spirituality and alterhumanity with fellow alterhumans online. Vincent has a mysterious demeanor and doesn't always let people in on its secrets or true feelings. It sometimes comes off as cold to others, but not rude or unfriendly. In fact, it is very good at handling social interactions and does so online and offline. It is less subject to the symptoms the system experience, and when vamp does experience things such as hallucinations, vamp is usually able to distinguish them from reality, unlike other members of vamps system.

✦ Name(s): Nikki, Ellen, Harriet ✦ Emoji proxy: 🌙🐺 ✦ Pronouns: it/its, she/her, x/xs/xself, ix/ixs/ixself, sie/hir/hirs/hirself, moon/moons/moonself, howl/howls/howlself ✦ Species: werewolf ✦ Age: 26 ✦ Role(s): socializer, symptom holder, spiritual headmate, protector, spiritual protector, energy holder, manager, assidumate, naturalist ✦ Labels: agender feminine, bi lesbian, moone, florauna, femme/futch ✦ Likes: nightly routines, light colors, oversized hoodies ✦ Dislikes: small talk ✦ Xenos: wolves, the moon, nature ✦ Symptoms experienced: hearing voices, psychosis ✦ Music taste: dream pop, ethereal wave, folk pop ✦ Aesthetic(s): lunarpunk, naturecore, cozycore ✦ Kins: moonlight, luna moths, sage herbs

✦ Description:

Nikki is a werewolf who likes people and making friends but sometimes suffers from insecurities or a lack of confidence. It doesn't find openness difficult once it has made the initial necessary connection, but it sometimes needs the help of other headmates such as Victor to initiate that connection. Nikki is not as involved in the giving or taking of energy, but sie talks a lot with the spirits that the system communicate with and is very comfortable with them, as well as setting boundaries with them when necessary. Nikki is subject to a lot of the symptoms of the system, and she does not have them as under control as Victor does. This includes hearing voices and having hallucinations that she cannot distinguish as hallucinations. However, x is particularly subject to the higher energy levels that the system have thanks to reducing their medications, and x is good at using that energy constructively and productively.

✦ Name(s): Cole, Spectre, Klaus ✦ Emoji proxy: 👻☀️ ✦ Pronouns: they/them, it/its, ey/em/eir/eirs/emself, ae/aer/aers/aerself, haunt/haunts/hauntself, sun/suns/sunself ✦ Species: ghost ✦ Age: ageless (died at and appears 23) ✦ Role(s): symptom holder, dissociation holder, psychosis holder, depression holder, spiritual headmate, charge, reader ✦ Labels: neutrois, genderflux, aroace, sunsine, zanicesh ✦ Likes: long books, paranormal documentaries, sunny days ✦ Dislikes: short form content ✦ Xenos: ghosts, the sun, books ✦ Symptoms experienced: low energy, low mood, flashbacks, dissociation ✦ Music taste: hauntology, shoegaze, minimal synth ✦ Aesthetic(s): gloomcore, solarpunk, 1920s vintage ✦ Objectum attraction(s): books, buildings ✦ Kins: sunlight, toadstools, rivers

✦ Description:

Cole is a ghost - basically human in appearance, but see-through and incorporeal. They suffer from the system's general symptoms, including of depression and PTSD, but they are fairly good at remaining calm even when having active flashbacks. They are not particularly emotional and they are somewhat detached from others, but they care a lot for the system's friends. Cole is very comfortable with and in-tune with spirits and the spiritual world, including energy exchange. Despite how detached ey seems much of the time, ey is very aware of the world around em and is highly contemplative and analytical. Ey sometimes gets lost in contemplation and introspection, though, and ey often relies on the other members of eir sidesystem to help em manage eir feelings and symptoms.

✦ Name(s): Molly, Trout, Sam ✦ Emoji proxy: 🐟🌍 ✦ Pronouns: it/its, they/them, e/em/eir/eirs/emself, xi/xir/xirs/xirself, earth/earths/earthself, gill/gills/gillself ✦ Species: swamp creature ✦ Age: adult ✦ Role(s): socializer, manager, symptom manager, disability manager, confidence holder, naturalist ✦ Labels: androgyne, genderfluid, bisexual, earthgender, zabainal ✦ Likes: campy horror movies, antique stores, bright colors ✦ Dislikes: being inside for too long ✦ Xenos: the earth, water, dreams ✦ Music taste: glam rock, pop punk, pop rap ✦ Aesthetic(s): wacky pomo, Memphis design, neoncore ✦ Objectum attraction(s): clothes/accessories ✦ Kins: the earth/nature, tiger sharks, frogs

✦ Description:

Molly is a swamp creature with spines on its back, fins on its arms, legs, and sides of its head, and gills on its neck. It is confident, outgoing, and sociable, comfortable socializing in just about any environment and talking with ease about a variety of topics. It is especially inclined towards offline socialization and being out in nature. Molly is somewhat less connected to the spirituality of the sidesystem, but it does participate in energy exchange for interpersonal reasons. It concerns itself more with the physical world, including helping the system maintain their disabilities and physical conditions. This includes but is not limited to helping them eat the right diet and keeping a log of the frequency of their symptoms.

Hello. We would like to request a headmate based on these emojis/unicode: 🎸⚣🌈☾🎀⛤🎁

We normally get headmates who are in their 30s or older, who are gay, and who have roles related to socialization, trauma, and/or responsibilities, but this headmate can be like anything you want them to be.

I would like them to be a Tier 3, please. Would it be possible to request kintypes as an add-on? No worries if not.

Thank you, and have a nice day. ~ @headmate-ideas

< Mod Twyla > Thank you! :)

[headmate-ideas]

< Mod Twyla > Reminder that we have no pending requests right now, and we have recently reopened, if anybody wishes to send us requests.

[headmate-ideas]

< Mod Zig > I normally keep my offline and online lives very separate, but there is one thing I'd like to talk about because it's partly relevant to my plurality, and it's an explanation for why, if work slows down again or I have to go on hiatus again, there's a very good reason. Basically, we're going to start doing live musical performances as our music sources!

We're a musician and a singer, and we do karaoke on Saturdays at this place where the management love us and that has live shows sometimes. We don't like writing songs anymore because we feel anything we'd write about is too personal, but we love the concept of tribute bands. We're known as a great performer at karaoke and we can imitate a wide variety of artists' voices.

We're going to start doing tribute acts to our favorite artists starting later this year or possibly next year, at the place in town that has karaoke! It's *not* a karaoke thing, though, we're going to record the music ourselves and sing to it as a backing track.

We're going to post our performances to YouTube, and I'm not sure if we'll share it with this blog in specific, but it *will* be shared in the servers we run!

The best part is that we have quite a few music and musician factives whose sources we're going to be performing, so this will quite truly allow some of us to be our sources in real life in a way that most introjects don't get to do!

So, yes, if requests start slowing down considerably later this year or next year, it's because we're doing live music in our town!

[headmate-ideas]

Hey, 🎀🏆 requester here! The pack is perfect, thank you! We'll be back probably -🍏

< Mod Riley > Oh, awesome, glad to hear it :D Happy to help!

[headmate-ideas]

hello! i dont know if you could do 2 in 1, but if so my name is lenoch, and i would like to define myself and my friend poel with your default pack neither of us are human, i know poel is somewhat built off of some pass through substance, i believe maybe shadows? while i.. am not sure what i am at all, i think i have some sorts of protrusions coming out of or around my head, and shoulder length hair poel is an introvert, very untrusting of people who arent me, and can be a bit rude and blunt, which i believe is a defense mechanism for itself i am more of a people person, relatively anyway, i try to be polite and generally enjoyable to be around, i like learning new things its mostly physically i would like us to be made but if you have any thoughts on anything else, up to 4 or 5 of your choice of opt ins would be nice, dont want it TOO big if i had to assign us colors, i would be green/orange, and poel is monotone

< Mod Twyla > Here is the request for Poel and the one for you.

🏙️ HEADMATE TEMPLATE ☀️

[Basic pack.]

[Headmates may not turn out exactly as written, and that's okay.]

✦ Name(s): Lenoch, Lux, Lenny ✦ Emoji proxy: 🏙️☀️ ✦ Pronouns: it/its, he/him, x/xs/xself, ix/ixs/ixself, light/lights/lightself ✦ Species: light entity ✦ Age: ageless adult ✦ Role(s): socializer, manager, reader, worker, academic ✦ Labels: neutrois, bisexual, xenic, luxine ✦ Likes: architecture, tea, sunny days ✦ Dislikes: negativity ✦ Xenos: light, the sun, positive emotions ✦ Music taste: dream pop, dreampunk, ethereal wave ✦ Aesthetic(s): solarpunk, dreamcore, art noveau ✦ Kins: angels, sunlight, white rabbits

Lenoch is a being made of light that shifts between two forms that, when one looks at it, one sees both at once. One of these forms looks human and has shoulder length hair and protrusions somewhat like a broken halo coming out of its head, and one is more reminiscent of an ophan/throne ("biblically accurate angel"). Three golden crowns float above its head (or above the center of its body in its angelic form). Lenoch likes learning and socializing, and it frequently handles people when x and xs in-system friend Poel front together (as Poel is more distrustful). Lenoch also handles responsibilities for the system, especially ones that involve learning or writing. This includes academia and work, if applicable.

🌃 HEADMATE TEMPLATE🌙

[Basic pack.]

[Headmates may not turn out exactly as written, and that's okay.]

✦ Name(s): Poel, Shadow, Paul ✦ Emoji proxy: 🌃🌙 ✦ Pronouns: it/its, hy/hym/hys/hymself, ix/ixs/ixself, shade/shades/shadeself ✦ Species: shadow entity ✦ Age: ageless adult ✦ Role(s): isolator, memory holder, trauma holder, janusian, debugger ✦ Labels: agender, aroace, xenic, daroric ✦ Likes: books, the occult, nighttime ✦ Dislikes: most people ✦ Xenos: shadows, the moon, negative emotions ✦ Music taste: darkwave, dark ambient, drone metal ✦ Aesthetic(s): art deco, classicism, weirdcore ✦ Kins: demons, void, melanistic foxes

✦ Description:

Poel is the sentient manifestation of the concept of darkness and of shadows. It has a human-shaped form that is incorporeal and intangible and that things can pass through. This form is dark and shadowy and is effectively made of shadows. The human-ness of its shape is more rough than definite, but despite the intangibility of this form, it is capable of wearing accessories if it wants to. Poel is introverted and distrustful of most people other than its friend Lenoch in its own system. This is something of a defense mechanism and not entirely misguided. Poel is subject to any memories or trauma the system would have that would contribute to distrust, and hy is also very discerning where it comes to what people the system should or shouldn't let into their lives.

[headmate-ideas]

Could I please request a larger template, opt out of objectum attractions, music taste, and kins? For opt ins, I'd like to do personality traits, interests, and hobbies. And for an add-on, could I have role performance? (For symptoms experienced, we have OCD and extreme social anxiety)

The alter is a highschool girl who we know is very positive and sweet, but besides cheerleading and choir we don't know what she does for hobbies. We think her role is a responsibility manager. Some emojis for reference too; 🐇💜🌲☀️🎀🏆

Thank you so much for the help! If you need any more details let me know!

< Mod Riley > Sure thing!
