This our side blog for system stuff! Our main is @thebookishkiwi
As a system, we sometimes use The Seaglass System! Not for any particular reason- we just chose a name for all of us, that we all liked.
For all the people in here, we usually use head mates, and occasionally teammates or alters/facets. You can use any of those, we don't mind!
This is a map of headspace! (Will change as headspace changes)
~ A few rule-y things ~
Like, things we would rather not have on our blog. We want this to be a safe place, so please keep to these!
We are a minor, so SFW only please!
This blog is not for any kind of politics, donations, or anything else of the sort. If we receive asks promoting a specific cause or asking for money, we will delete them discreetly.
No syscourse! That simple.
We have a vent/spilled words tag: #seaglass spills
~ The Team! ~
This will be updated to include any new head mates that turn up!
All head mates that are here currently will be listed here:
Kiwi (she/her)- The host! And yes, the person who is writing this. Always here!
Aeolus (she/her)- She’s Aeolus from Epic the Musical! She also has a subsystem, consisting of the Anemoi: Boreas, Zephyrus, Notos, and Eurus.
Persephone (she/her)- Almost never called Persephone, we call her Sephy! She is little, so she isn't active much. She's usually resting/hibernating/hanging out in the background.
Xander (he/him)- Full name Alexander, but he prefers Xander. Helps out, he's just kinda… here. Most of the time.
Kauri (he/him)- Passive-aggressive. Takes charge during crisis’s. Quite serious.
Soraiya (she/they)- Takes care of everyone, she’s kind of like a guardian? Full name Soraiya Lucille.
Gunnar (he/him)- Not good. Causes trouble, he is pretty much my bad side. If that makes sense. We aren’t very fond of him.
Circe (she/her)- Based from Epic the Musical.. has the same personality. She’s alright.
Loki (he/him)- The trickster god… enjoys jokes, and generally causing chaos. He can be helpful, though.
Caz (he/him)- Pretty casual guy, can be oblivious to good or bad timing… kinda has a sense of humour.
Artemis/Apollo (he/she/they, use they/them)- Double personalities, possibly a sort of subsystem! Yes, the gods.. They act like them, too.
Heimdall (he/him)- The god, and always talks in caps. He’s quite loud, but gets along well with Loki.
Ghost (it/he)- Doesn’t really say anything. A background shadow that can feel like someone is there.
We also have The Fog, who isn't a headmate but removes the headmates speaking abilities (as in, speaking to me-it feels like they're trying to talk underwater) and me accessing memories. It has also blocked out memories before.
We will also always put who posted anything in the tags- So, if you’re unsure, just check the tags. It will be formatted as 'Posted by:’ and the name of who posted it!
~ What we will post ~
As said above, this blog is for system stuff. So, thoughts, experiences, questions, everything system related will be here.
I think I’m going insane. I’m not kidding. Something is wrong and I don’t know what but I’m hearing voices again and there’s something else wrong but I don’t know what
I feel… disconnected, like I’m not feeling anything and my emotions are dulled, and I’m not exactly myself but I’m still present, it’s just that… me internally doesnt feel right, but I’m still in control of the body and everything to most degree. My expressions and voice aren’t quite right, but I’m still me, I think
The issue with being a writer and a system is feeling like I can just.. change it. Change everyone’s names, personalities, everything about how our system runs.
And while some of these would be great, like better communication, I think it also makes communication harder. Because if I think ‘oh, what if I had a headmate named ‘x’ and they liked ‘x’ and looked like ‘x’ I’m basically just creating OC’s, right? It’s simple, and something I think I do well. But I can’t do that, because then I’m changing my alters, changing who they are.
And yes, sometimes wish I could do this, but I don’t think I can. In fact, I almost definitely can’t. But because I’m a writer and I naturally just make OC’s all the time, I find it really hard to communicate with my alters. I didn’t create them, can’t reach them, can’t interact like them like I can with my own fictional characters and scenes.
So I end up just casting off and forgetting my alters. That’s why I haven’t posted in ages, keep saying that I want to try and only do for two days. I just forget, and move on with my OC’s. And.. it’s really, really hard.
We were trying to explain to some friends earlier that saying "this person is in front" and "this person is co-conscious" isn't always the most useful phrasing for us because either of those terms can mean a lot of different things. We have our own words that we like to use to describe where folks can be in relation to our awareness.
The states on this chart are still a bit of a simplification, as we flow between them and it's more of a spectrum than a discrete set, but they're close enough to the actual language that we use to do the job.

Mildly inconvenient plurality is, "Why did everyone just disappear?" And then they come back like 2 weeks after you already have a whole thing about be faking it or not. And then they are gone again.
that's always fun to go through /sarc /lh
