Hello and welcome to the system side blog! As a collective, you can call us the Cryptid System!!! (Or "Cryptid" for short!)
This blog will be a space where we'll be doing our best to share our experiences as a plural system, and where our system's headmates can post as themselves without worry of all the main blog stuff.
For anyone who knew this blog back when it was focused on alterhumanity, this is indeed the same blog! We've just pivoted upon realizing that our kins were actually headmates trying to more or less peek their heads through, so to speak. The alterhuman tag will be kept on this post however due to a number of our headmates still identifying as alterhuman.
As of now, we'll be keeping the list format we had from before for our supposed kintypes and repurpose that for our headmates, however over time facets will (hopefully) make thier own intro posts that will be linked back to here!
NOTE: This list features all of the headmates who have made intro posts so far. This is NOT everyone in our system by ANY means (there's like- over 50 of us now man, there's no way we're fitting EVERYONE here 😭). As more headmates make intro posts however, those posts will be linked in right here!
The Host:
Joey/Cryptid
Other Headmates Who Have Made Intros:
Soldier/Winter
Dreamfinder/Blair
Kishindo
Osprey
Gambit/Remy
Moon Knight [subsystem]
Loki
Our collective sign-off for asks will be this -> 💥🧠
Terms that we have coined:
Arch/Archmate & Flickermate
Also!!! All answers for asks can be found under the tag "#answering asks!!!"
Taken anon sign-offs!!!
🌊☁️ anon
🪲 anon
⬆️ If you want to claim an anon sign-off (or alternatively want to un-claim one if you already have one listed here), let us know!!! ⬆️
⚠️IMPORTANT!!! -> DM RULES⚠️: Only DM me if you've asked me first with your intentions clear and I've said yes. I'm pretty paranoid on the internet, so I will be suspicious of you if you DM me without warning. All I ask is that you let me know before DMing me! Also know that I likely won't instigate a DM conversation - again out of internet paranoia - so if you want to message me, you're likely gonna have to be the one instigating the conversation! :3
MIP is being an introject who is blind in source, and that translating apparently to every time I front or even get near the front, our eyes start to hurt/we get a headache starting from/around the eye area. Also light sensitivity, yippie /sar
This just in: Local blind man is no longer blind! But he still can't see because the light hurts his eyes apparently
To answer your question, actually yes it does! However that leaves me with the new problem of "the body isn't naturally blind and can't navigate well without sight," so a blindfold isn't the most practical solution for any times where I'm not just, say for example, alone in our room (and thus not really moving around in any way I could potentially bump into anyone).
That being said, I've found that well-tinted sunglasses also help a lot! It filters out a lot of the brightness that causes my eyes to hurt, and as such makes it so seeing is a lot more tolerable!
Hi. All fictive heavy systems/plurals. Look at me. You’re all so cool. You are so valid. Do Not listen to the people who are telling you otherwise. They are jealous of your swag.
Heads up: this blog's tagging system and pinned post are gonna get overhauled soon. We've decided that we're reaching a point where there's too many people in our brain to put them ALL on the list, so from this point on, we're gonna sign off at the end of the post so we don't have any future people showing up fighting each other for emojis or anything lol
Maybe we can figure out how to make userbox sign-offs...hmm...that might be a good idea to consider...
Mildly inconvenient plurality is forgetting for a moment that you are in fact inhabiting a female body and that according to societal rules, that means that you (for some reason) can NOT walk around totally shirtless
(For context, I was in my room and wasn't wearing a shirt because I was hot and then got a glimpse of myself in the mirror and went "hm, right. Afab body. Maybe I shouldn't be doing this in case someone sees us")
gods walking around being topless is one of the reasons we want the Badounkers™️ gone sighhhh -Planet/Exo
MIP is finding out post syscovery that during your pre syscovery era you used to get a lot of introjects that would be around for like a day or so, only to hide away sometime later.
And now that we know we're a system, we are not only finding out they were introjects all along, they are also coming back. Coming back strong enough that they have access to front room now.
Anyway, we are now dealing with headmates both old and new, and those coming out of hiding. 🧍
