Hi, we’re a system currently of ~40 different headmates, mostly fictives from 4-5 different sources. This blog is for the alters who don’t have specific tumblr blogs or for when those who do can’t access their blogs.
Everyone has a separate talking tag, all are listed here. Some people don't have tags yet though. If you see a tag that's not on the list, the member using it probably went dormant.
Not an ask blog or rp blog or anything of the sort. We are real people, the fact that we share a body doesn’t change that.
Really not sure how I feel about the storyboarding (or lack thereof) for this one, but I wanted to get something out on time so I can catch up on the other submissions.
Ignore the fact that its the 6th today and also that I missed every other day. I'll catch up if I have the time, I just happened to make a drawing challenge during the month I start college and also they made this catboy work retail.
Anyways my town had a gallery walk yesterday, so I wandered around buying some fun stuff with my wife. This is us chilling outside a nearby grocery store w8ing for my dad to pick us up. It's nice to be able to walk around and spend my own money without having to ask. I love being an adult.
Full list of prompts can be found on my system blog @invisible-friend-system
So I was going to make the list look nice like last year but then I got kind of burnt out and realized getting it out on time is more important
Theres somewhat of a theme this year with interconnected prompts! They're designed so that if you miss certain days, you can simply combine them!

All prompts marked with an asterisk were suggested by @the-fermi-system! Future was already on my first draft of the list, but also happened to be a suggestion.
Questions:
"Do I have to follow the prompts?" Absolutely not, they're just a suggestion. The plural experience is wide and varied, and this challenge hopes to celebrate that. Heck, if you missed a prompt you liked last year, recycle them! This challenge is meant to be fun, not restrictive.
"Can I participate if I'm ____?" This challenge is open to all systems/plurals/multiples, no matter their origins or beliefs. If you share a body with other people in some way, this challenge is open to you. While I can't exactly stop singlets from participating in this challenge, it's not exactly meant for them. That being said, I want no syscourse to interfere with this challenge. We're here to draw, not to argue. (I'm traumagenic but I'm pro-endo, and if that deters you from participating in this challenge, then feel free to not participate.)
"What if I don't draw everyday?" That's fine! Do what you can! You don't have to make fully fleshed out pieces, you don't have to draw every single day, you don't have to participate at all, no one's holding you at gunpoint to draw these. Just have fun to the best of your ability. I did a solid three prompts/two drawings last year and I'm even busier this year with college and a job.
"Can we use these as writing prompts instead?" Of course! I'm a writer too, and ironically I'm taking a creative writing class this semester with a loose focus on exploring identities, so maybe I'll take a shot at writing some of these for class if I get a chance!
So it's almost Systember (again! Yippee!) and I still have yet to put together a prompts list. I'm doing my best to try and not have too much overlap with the prompts from last year, but if anyone would like to suggest some prompts for this year, feel free to do so! If I decide to use your suggestion, you will be given credit for your ideas in this year's Systember post
