Welcome to the carnival, we are THE LYRLAND SYSTEM! There's lots of us, don't mind that, there might be more in the future. We're gonna try to make this a system account at least somewhat because we've been trying to do that for weeks and we're finally doing it. We're all mentally ill as heck so you've been warned. Collectively, we don't care what pronouns you use for us. Anything is fine. Some of us have specific ones, please use those when possible, otherwise if you or we don't know who's fronting, just throw out whatever you think works.
We'll try to give context for certain things as we go along, but if this is disjointed and makes no sense, TOO BAD! Y'all are along for the ride, quite literally! We're a traumagenic system, do with that what you will I suppose, we're anti-syscourse, it's not that we don't care, it's that we all have bigger problems to deal with than screaming at people online.
Collectively:
COLLECTIVE NAME: Just call us Lyrland if you have to refer to us collectively. Or "the" Lyrland is also kinda cool :D
BODY AGE: NUNYA! TRULY! Why do people want to know this, holy shaznoodle. We're taken anyway so that's not a thing to be asking about in our opinions.
COLLECTIVE IDENTITY: Queer and Trans. That's the basics of the terms we use just because that's what works for us, sysmates might have different more specific ones, but also... we generally all have the same few things, we just call them Queer/Trans because it's easier to explain, and yall... we're tired.
COLLECTIVE TERMS: We use the words "system" and "headmates", since we've found that's what works for us, but we also use others from time to time. Also we use "brain wiggles" to refer to... all of our stuff. It's possible we'll get more into what exactly it is eventually, but right now the stuff we can identify relatively easily is ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, PPD, Depression, CPTSD, and OCD.
Please feel free to ask us questions, our asks are always open, and we like having fun with them. More info about us as individuals is under the cut!
(not that we'll answer all of them tho teehee)
Main Fronters Introductions:
Lyric - I'm like... just a peep? OO! I have little rams/devil horns but I look generally like the body does. I am da host, I do da host thingies. (I'm kinda boring, but I don't really know who I am anymore anyway so we'll go with this.) - She/It/They/Voi/Xem - ๐ฎ๐ช
Sebastian - Dear friend and a really kind dude, he helps take care of Bear for the most part, and protects everyone as best he can, in and out of the system. Protector for the four main group of fronters. Gets pulled out during anxiety shenanigans mostly. Protector. - He/They - ๐ป๐
Mork - Literally a cat. Playful and kind, used to be really trusting until... recent events. We love our kitty. Not a little, but kinda acts like one because she does do cat things. A tad bitey. Our mascot. - She/It - ๐โโฌโจ
Mara - Sorta a swarm of red energy, but very sweet really. Likes talking with people, significantly more confident than the rest of us. Social protector. - She/Her - ๐ฅโค๏ธโ๐ฅ
Common Fronters:
Lark - Heheeee our little shadow dude. (Not little, not a dude, but very shadow.) Apparently like a swordsman of some kind, very serious demeanor. Protector for the absolutely wild stuff, physical and social/trust protector. - They/It/He - ๐คโ๏ธ
Mary - Mara and Mary seem to be figurative twins, they both serve relatively similar roles and have similar typing styles. Serves as theoretical internal caretaker. - She/Her - ๐๐ฉต
Wes - Ball of sunshine, very star-oriented. Kinda similar to Seb in that way but more galactic than him. Just kinda peep person. - They/Them - โญโจ
Bear - Teeny version of our host. Stopped hosting after a trauma occurred, never shows up alone anymore, he did a couple times, but since then, he sticks by Sebastian. Not a literal bear, but just as cute as one. (Love ya buddy <3) - Age Slider, Middle - He/Him - ๐ป๐ฅณ
Uncommon fronters:
Jack - Childhood friend when little, not much known. Very unbothered dude from what we know about him. - He/Him????? - โ๏ธ๐ซ
Thorn - Possibly a former host or double part, apparently normal part who came out of dormancy recently. Rare fronter, but seems... interesting when she does. Not a bad person, just confusing a little bit. We can hear her, but they can't hear us. - They/She - ๐ฉถ๐ชด
Vi - Lyr and I are similar, but I hold a different role in the system than host. Do we know what that role is? Nope. Not a clue. I'm just glad to be here. We're all figuring it out as we go anyway. Oh right, I'm an angel. - She/Her - ๐ค๐ชฝ
Sparky - Fictive from multiple sources. Accent vaguely posh British but sometimes switches to Australian seemingly at random. - She/Her - โก๏ธโญ๏ธ
Wikka - We genuinely know almost nothing about Wikka. We know she speaks using a lot more QAVE than most others, but we know almost nothing else. Love her though, big ball of orange energy. - Xe/She - ๐๐งก
ALSO IF YOU READ THIS FAR, here are our collective userboxes
Soooooo we might have just slightly changed our tagging system... listennnnn having everyone's names got complicated but I will put a list here for the reference of people who want it:
Mork's got a friend with a lot of pain. Mork has a lot of friends with a lot of pain. We'll call this one... purble. that's his color anyway, so it makes sense in mork's brain.
oooo mork is realizing she still has yet to explain the colors to anyone that's gonna be fun aaaa
mork is helping purble. mork loves purble very much. mork loves all of them very much. this has been a hard week for all of us. i missed them a lot. im glad they're going to be okay.... one day anyway. mork will ensure that.
We've been looking forward to this for a while actually so I decided to put together a nice list of things you can ask us as a system! Absolutely feel free to please use this for your own system/blogs, but we were really excited so we wanted to do this. Please use our asks, we'd love to hear from yall! (Also feel free to ask others, this is just a nice starting point.)

okay so uh this is like a guide for us and how we might draw ourselves..??? idk its basically just the drawing of everyone's faces with the colours n stuff but Different ๐
THE COMBINE HARVESTER! (THA DORITOOOOOOSSSSSSS) Yall are awesome, it's been so fun to meet the new additions, if you enjoy our stuff, you'll love theirs too.
It's.... mostly a running joke at this point (at least we find it to be,) but when bear first came to front, he was really fascinated by the idea of controlling fire in games. I think the idea was just that controlling it felt better than not, but juuuuust in case, we're keeping lil dude far away from fire. And from fronting alone of course. Oh also bear says "Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiireeeeeee." <3
Hello, we just read your pin post and we love the term brain wiggles! We were wondering if we could use the term for ourselves, but if not it's okay. We don't want to yoink terms without people's permission! We hope you have a good day!
Hi there!
Yeah absolutely! We've been using the word brain wiggles for years to just describe whatever happened to be going on in the brain (before we started looking into what those brain wiggles could actually be and ooo shocking it's trauma mostly.) Anyone is free to use it. We also suggest terms as helpful as: "Alarm Bells," "Crushing Weights," "RANDOM BS," and "Thatonethingthatdefenitelyhasanamebutimtooscaredtogoogleoutofanintensefearthatitmightbesomethingthatimalreadyawareofandhaveaprejudiceagainst." (A few years ago now, we figured out our stuff.)
Thanks for being the first ask, and you have a good day too!
