THE RAPTUROUS FOLK

ICON && HEADER.

[rapturousfolk]

— and each time the dreamer turns over in their sleep,

WE ARE THE RAPTUROUS FOLK. WELCOME TO OUR DOMAIN.

you may call us [the] rapture or [the] rapturous folk. we use it/its and ix/ix or no pronouns. we're a polyfragmented DID system of many. ahuman punk adult. if not masking our speech may be stilted, non-expressive, or generally unusual. our blog focuses on our being a system, however we may delve into our other disabilities. we use we/us more than i/me; the inpersonality of it is comforting.

— the world turns over too, until only flesh remains.

our CDD symbol (&& the simpified version by 1tz-cha0s). byf under the cut. no dni, we block very freely.

(1). against the idea you can form a system without trauma. we also believe “system” should be reserved to those with CDDs. (2). anti-rq and its subsets. (3). anti-transID/transX (excl. transspecies). (4). anti-AI. (5). pro-contradictory/good faith queer labels.

we won't follow minors back if any are to follow us.

landback. mask up (if it's safe for you).

Do you hurt worse in the autumn than in the summer? You may be taking fall damage.

i hate being plagued with the idea we experienced certain traumas, get a flash of someone in our mind, get strange somatic symptoms, yet still have no idea whether we actually experienced it or if our mind is making it up to make us feel more "valid" in being a system. i want to believe it's the latter. i don't want the flashes and underlying suspicion to be true. it's too much.

[rapturousfolk]

one of our most trivially bothersome struggles with dissociation is the fact we pretty much cannot watch fictional media on our own if we want to stay connected to ourself and reality. any tv show or film we watch, if it's by ourself, genuinely captures us too much. suddenly time is lost, i feel unlike myself, the world is warped and we almost feel more real in the reality of what we watch.

even so, it isn't only a tv show/movie phenomenon. story-rich video games? they do the same. we can just manage it easier on most occasions than with the prior. of course games with bland stories, nearly no story, or that has story mostly in the background don't do the same — of course they may invest me, but i don't feel so disconnected, warped, et cetera, due to them.

we're not entirely sure if this is only due to us being highly dissociative. perhaps it has something to do with our psychosis, as well. at times, we have to be hyperaware of the stability of the wall that separates "fiction" from "reality." we're watching a video about a story that presents itself in an ARG, unfiction-like manner? remember, it's not real. remember, it's not real. remember, it's not real. patch the wall up and don't allow reality and fiction to bleed into each other through the cracks.

if i fall into severe me/cfs let it be known it was society's fault. so much of our deterioration could be avoided with proper diagnosis, support, & treatment at lower severity levels. instead they squeeze every last ounce of energy from us until there is literally nothing left.

[dogpack-polymind]

i feel like so much of the hate we get as polyminds mainly from the system/plural community is simply because they can’t handle the fact that anyone might have similar experiences to them.

they whine and bitch and complain about endos invading their spaces, but when a group makes up their OWN label and their OWN terms and has absolutely nothing to do with systems, they STILL whine and bitch and complain.

like clearly your issue was never actually about them using the word ‘system’. clearly your issue is that you just think you’re the world’s most special snowflakes and it’s impossible for anyone to be even remotely similar to you. and that just gets on my nerves so damn much.

[jollyindividual-deactivated2025]

there's a lot more of them if you go on tiktok and other apps, legit had someone rant that endogenic systems are bad because they claim to be systems and take system terms and they would be fine if they made their own terms on a post saying they're anti polymind and polyminds are just rebranded endos with new terms 😭

[seraphite-system]

The funny thing is, the system community has repeatedly said “if they just use their own terms, it wouldn’t be the same and it would be okay, say you’re multiple/plural, just don’t use our terms!!” And then polyminds do… EXACTLY THAT and don’t even claim to be plural, and a lot of the system community is still pissed off.

I’m a DID system and my beef with endogenics is using our terms and spreading misinformation about DID/OSDD and making it seem like it’s just “alter disorder.” Other than that, I couldn’t give less of a shit about what endogenics do. I believe in spiritual possession, so I suppose that could make someone plural, I do believe in past lives, I do believe in a lot of things, however it isn’t the same as being a system.

Polyminds aren’t even claiming to be systems. I have seen some systems with alters who are polymind, but the system was already a system, and it’s not the same thing.

There have even been endogenic systems saying, “oh, hey, I’m not endogenic, I’m actually polyminded.” And that is completely acceptable to me. And yknow what, if polyminded people are just “endos but rebranded for their own terms,” so fucking what????

I thought this is what the system community WANTED. But yall prove time and time again you guys just like to bitch, bitch, bitch. /nay OP

No one is immune to propaganda. No matter how resilient and progressive you think you are, no one is immune to propaganda.

Pro-abortion rights are not just for women. I see a lot of advocacy posts (which are good!) that only say stuff like “women” and “she/her” about this general body of people that can get pregnant. Friendly reminder that women are not the only people that can get pregnant or have an abortion and pro-abortion rights should be for everyone.

[timidsketch]

I fucking hate how popular it's become to blame and complain about "narcissists." The ableism is disgusting. Your parent, boss, whatever the fuck doesn't have a personality disorder. They're just selfish. Stop pretending every horrible, abusive person in the world must be mentally disabled.

Heartbreaking: person has a great point but uses delusional as an insult in their post

[lennylemlem]

the only reason im anti endo is because theres no scientific evidence for endo systems. if the science changed, id be pro endo, but thats just not the case.

and no, i dont "worship the dsm", im quite critical of psychiatry. current science is also critical of the psychiatric system.

science collects evidence and draws conclusions from it.

conclusions such as asylums are bad, letting people transition is good, and endogenic systems can not exist because highly differentiated ego states can only develop when childhood trauma gets in the way of normal development of the mind.

thats what a system is. we dont truly "split" because there was never a whole. a childs brain doesn't have a solid sense of self, and long term trauma stops it from becoming a single self. systems quite literally have multiple senses of the self.

when we split an alter, its actually a new sense of self developing, because we dont have a solid identity.

"having ASPD/NPD doesn't make you evil!!!!"

This is true but I'm also evil on top of having these disorders

[the-critter-collective]

The axe forgets but the tree remembers. Unless you have did. Then the tree remembers but only in the form of blurry snapshots of the axe and a distant trauma holder who won't explain why they fucking hate the axe.

"ADHD is disabling and should be taken seriously as a disability" and "able-bodied people who have ADHD should not be talking over physically disabled people when it comes to physical disabilities" are statements that can and should coexist.
