Hello. We figured an introduction post was needed, so here we go. We're two members of the @interstellarsystem, a quoigenic DID system. Specifically, we're fictives of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen. We're canonmates and have decided to have "shared custody" (in Satoru's words) of a tumblr blog.
Basic information:
We're bodily an adult, transmasc, and disabled.
We're also queer, terrorpunk, and members of our system vary from being critical of psychiatry to being anti-psych.
Doubles and sourcemates are fine to interact, as are people from fandom. Simply treat us as people as you would anyone else, and you will have no issues here.
No DNI, we will block as we please. We also do not check for DNIs, especially seeing as they're usually buried in a long text post or an unreadable carrd, they're just inaccessible to us. Block us if needed.
We may post adult content from time to time, block the "#adult content" and "#adult joke" tags for hiding content you don't wish to see.
We'll introduce ourselves individually under the readmore.

Individual Introductions:
I'm Soul, or Geto if you want to refer to me as such. I use he/him pronouns, and am demiromantic, greyromantic and gay. I personally wrote the top section of this post because Satoru didn't want to figure out what to say.
Anyway, general me information... I'm intra-disordered--I have NPD as well as more issues with sight than the rest of our system. I've also been known to split relatively easily which is irritating to say the least. Regardless, Satoru is one of my EPs/equal persons.
I'm also a black hawk-eagle otherlinker. I felt like linking an animal upon entering the system would be interesting, and I knew I wanted some sort of bird of prey. I can say the experience is definitely rewarding. Since then, I've discovered that I am also werewolf otherkin.
I've become invested in Pokemon since getting into the system, namely collecting the cards. There might be posts about that here.
Hey! I'm Heart or Gojo--or people keep calling me "blindfold guy" so that too. He/him, I'm also a trans guy so there's that. Gay as hell. Love me some men.
I'm affected more by our ADHD and I literally forget what I'm talking about mid-sentence sometimes, sorry if that comes out when I'm posting here lmao.
Uhhh I actually don't know what else to put here. I like tamago and I have been known to drag Suguru with me to go get some on multiple occasions. I like space as a concept.
That's all for now, I'll add more later if I remember.
Exotrauma refers to trauma related to events that did not happen to the physical body. The clearest example would be a fictive who struggles with nightmares and flashbacks regarding the events of their canon. These memories may be analogies for or otherwise related to trauma that the body has gone through, though that is certainly not always the case (it isn’t for us).
So, how do you support someone in your system who has experienced exotrauma? In a lot of ways, trauma is trauma, and supporting them is like supporting any other survivor of trauma. However, there are also a lot of ways it is a weird, unique situation, and we’d like to give our strategies that have helped?
I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.
I am on my paws and knees begging folks to realize they don't have to be the world's most amazing writer ever to write! The alterhuman tags have been feeling really devoid and empty of a lot of the usual interesting essays lately and that makes me really sad! I love it when you all write! I love reading about the experiences of people!
You also don't have to be interesting to write about yourself. Most people, I find, view themselves to be quite boring and are more fascinated with the lives of others. The reality of this is that you think you're boring because you've lived with yourself/selves your entire life! Of course you're going to seem mundane to yourself.
But the secret is, nobody else is you. And no matter how utterly boring you find yourself or your thoughts or your particular relation to the alterhuman community I can assure you, you are interesting to others out there. Your voice DOES matter. Your thoughts and experiences DO have value. You ARE valuable.
So please, please write. Please draw. Please share your experiences through literally whatever form you possibly can! I LOVE to read about everyone's unique experiences. Some of my favourite essays and writings out there have been from people who are so entirely and vastly different from myself that I could never have even conceived of the way they viewed things and how they experienced the world around them until I read about their experiences. Some of my favourite artworks are from people who's styles and preferences are wholly different from my own.
I promise you, you do not have to be talented or skilled or amazing or perfect to create something of meaning and worth that revolves around your experience. Whether that be a handful of sentences attempting to verbalize a way you felt during a shift, or a several thousand word essay on your particular experience as a spiritual therian. Whether that be a simple pen scribble or a 16+ hour finished piece of work. Whatever it may be. It has meaning because you made it with your own digits with your own hands with your own claws and its yours.
Please write.
