your existence and the existence of your headmates inherently is not harmful and it is not appropriation, no matter how you or your headmates have come into existence. you deserve to be listened to when you talk about who you are and how you categorize your system. the existence of any system is not inherently harmful, and that includes your system too.
My mind: There is something deeply wrong with me that is preventing me from making any actual connections with people and even though I want to be loved so bad I’m repulsed by the ones who actually try to befriend me so I probably deserve to hide in a hole and never interact with anyone ever again

Sort of modular culture is OH MY GOD THERE'S A WORD FOR IT?!?!
Kind of anyway. We have many fragments that have no identity but a role that sometimes become an identity and then disappear until it happens again? but it can last longer than hours so. idk.
All identities are valid. <3
You can either find a term for it, or make one.
Flares can also last longer than hours.
We have had flares last for a little over a week before breaking up again.
I can imagine them lasting even longer than that.
The good thing about modular not being very researched is it cant dictate how long your flares last.
If you resonate with modular, and they last longer, then modular flares can last longer :)
It's weirdly freeing in a way
Now that we feel a kangaroo/wallaby/jumping mouse or whatever shift, there's no more ruminating on whether that's Roo or a new member, no analysing every single opinions and personality traits. Now it's just "oh that's the core fragment that "made" Roo"
Mew/Kwami connection ? "Oh that's Mew's fragment"
Different AU/variations of the fictive ? That's just his fragment, not multiple versions of him
It's kind of freeing not having those constant stressful "guess who" self quizzes, with the impostor syndrome screaming that if we get it wrong, it would be offending to said alter(s) we got wrong (despite the fact that we can't feel like that, we're far from separate enough to get angry at each other like that. Just more of the community being SO separated focused that it twisted our view of how we worked and hurt us as a result)
..
Still don't like how we can't ever get into anything long term, like a project or interest or ordering something that'll take more than a day to arrive. Because whoever was interested has already dissolved back to shards
It feels sad and lonely, seeing all the stuff we bought or planned to do for someone else back when we newly realised us, thinking that we would come back and be able to form a relationship with each other. Milu never got to see the plushie he ordered, Milk never got to see the drawing of himself someone planned to do for him...
Modular plural culture is bouncing between terms like median, polyfragmented, and cyclogenic and them not quite fitting before finding modular
.
Modular culture is having no idea how to system map
so real. I think if we tried itd 1) take forever and 2) be very jumbled up. if we even could, with our memory idk if we could remember all of that to map it
modular culture is the flare with a specific job lasts exactly as long as the job it has, then breaks down, and memories of it doing its job are nowhere to be found
(context: at work there is a "me that's at work", which promptly forgets EVERYTHING the second we come home from work. rinse and repeat every day. every day at work it feels like I'm a slightly different "me that's at work" that I can only attribute to fragments building up into a flare for work, breaking down after, then building up again for work the next day in a slightly different form)
Yeah thats how it goes </3 'me but not the me i was 5 minutes ago'
Cyclogenic+modular system culture is: what is an identity? Who knows 🤷
↺
Modular culture is (at least for us??) introjects' traits being added to the Fragment Soup, rather than them being sourced from pre-existing fragments. Metaphorically, it's like adding new ingredients to a perpetual stew. #whole pheasant in that thang
perpetual stew is a great metaphor for modular. new trait acquired? hop in the bowl
Modular culture is loosing your core/shell, which was the only full fledged headmate, and falling into such a violent blur for months, with quarters of identities popping up for one hour max once every three month, before being back to nothing, to the point you just give up on any hope of identity or communication
Unfortunately relateable </3
Our most recent host was forced into dormancy by an ex, and every since then we have felt very untethered to identity. That is when we formed/became modular
modular subsystem culture is having amnesia barriers within "yourself"
yes that was me yesterday no I don't remember no it doesn't feel like me. because you see. they made me out of different stuff today.
So real </3
am i x? Yes but not the same x as before. How many x are there? Who knows
