We are a quoigenic gateway plural collective of around 400 (as of April 2026). We sign our posts unless we don't, in which case you should assume it's either Artemis or just the Collective in general.
We are not a roleplay blog.
Other stuff about us and plurality behind the cut.
What is Plurality?
Plurality is, simply put, any state of being more-than-one in some way. For us, that means that we have many fully-formed (and some not) people living within one body, and we often switch who is controlling the body at any given time. Don't worry, we're all nice.
These people are not other selves of one person nor are they parts of one person. Plurality can manifest this way, but it is not how it works for us. We are all real people with different interests, ways of communicating, personalities with depths and different sides, and the ability to grow.
More about plurality
What is Quoigenic?
Quoigenic is an origin label for plurality. There are many origin labels, but quoigenic has several meanings: it can mean we don't know or don't care about our origin, we don't want other people to know, or in our case, we reject the idea that origin is the most important question you could be asking. For us, origin is much less important than how we work together and exist as a system in this moment; we reject the idea that this has to be a defining feature of a system at all. (Yes, it's hard to understand if you're not part of the community, because the term itself was spawned in the context of a lot of community discourse.)
Gateway Collective?
We identify primarily as a collective and are trying to filter out the term system; we used to identify as a system, but we no longer feel like that word is the best way to describe us. Therefore we are the Starfall Haven or Starfall Collective.
Our inner world is connected to a planet we call Divisus, which has its own cultures, civilizations, and history. A few of us are from that planet, but most of us come from elsewhere. Although we might occasionally talk about it, we tend to keep details of our inner world off tumblr.
Stuff we Do
We do:
Art! '#lc arts' is our art tag, and we have a more complete gallery over on deviantart.
Religious stuff! We have an eclectic mix of religious beliefs in-system, but our host and many of us are polytheists. Artemis runs Per Inpw, a twitch channel where they broadcast Kemetic rituals and education. There is also an associated discord.
Writing! We have an ao3, and a writing blog for shorter, less finished stuff.
Tarot and lenormand! We do tarot and lenormand readings for pretty cheap, and sometimes do free card pulls on tumblr.
Art commissions! Check em out here.
We play FFXIV on the Seraph server, Dynamis DC and we also play Genshin and HSR. If you want to play either of those with us, hit us up!
SCA stuff: we participate in Society for Creative Anachronism events and meetings. We have an early 13th century Gaulish persona and are working on archery, illumination, and heraldry. May also get into period cooking when we get the chance. We are in the kingdom of Calontir.
the first tumblr post i read about "you're looking for someone it's ok to be cruel to" honestly rewired my brain.
tumblr is full of dimwitted reactionaries but ive also read a lot of things that have fundamentally changed how i think about justice, mental health, etc.
despite the best efforts of the site's staff and its manbaby ceo, there continues to be a contingent of people here who are committed to understanding things better, to doing better, and to changing the world for the better.
None of this shit's going to get better until all of you realize there's nothing that makes you incapable of being a bigot, and there is ESPECIALLY no relationship to womanhood that prevents you from being misogynist.
Every single day I see someone go "but I can't possibly think or act in misogynistic ways, I literally am/was a woman!" and it's the dumbest shit I've seen, every single time. You, yes you, the person reading this, are capable of misogyny, just like you're capable of every other kind of bigotry, just like every single person on earth is.
And if you're reading this and you think "yeah, you tell those losers!" I'm not talking about them, whoever they might be. I'm talking about you.

I wasn't sure if I was going to post this at first because the 'trust the process' part of the process was ROUGH. but I ended up liking it enough to show y'all!

idk man i just think i can’t trust your ability to be part of any sort of political discussion if you can’t seem to understand the very simple idea that both sides of a conflict can be bad and a country opposing the united states doesn’t automatically make it perfect and amazing snd “the good guys”
“hi! i was born and raised in the United States and therefore was taught a lot of propaganda about our country’s enemies. now that i’ve grown up and wish to oppose the united states i’ve decided to just wholesale believe that everything i’ve ever learned about that country is a lie and propaganda and therefore they must be super duper innocent good guys! what? no, why would i actually bother to learn what is or isn’t true about that country? fuck you i’m gonna go deify a bunch of authoritarian dictators now! 😤”
^ a disturbing amount of people who call themselves leftists
if you can’t handle that the enemy of your enemy isn’t actually automatically your friend i don’t fucking trust you not to side with nazis if trump ever somehow pisses them off
Honestly, with all the tradwife cooking trash circulating, it only makes me love B Dylan Hollis more for baking vintage recipes while being openly gay, making sexual jokes, and screaming at the ingredients. He's the antithesis of every soft-spoken cishet woman cooking for her husband and children. You don't have to be an idyllic cottagecore housewife to cook.
The swearing is essential. That's what "made with love" or "the secret ingredient is love" means. It means, "I love you so much that you're worth this fucking bullshit."
