blog for my system to talk about being a system, selfship stuff, and other stuff. Rent lowering gunshots: proship, profic, prokink, anti negative contact propara, anti harmful transid, pro endo, pro willo, pro otherpaw, pro kff, anti (trans)radfem, transandrophobia truther
Btw the fact sysmeds seem to think “Identity = frivolous choice you can undo” is in itself transphobic. Especially in the context of being horrified with the idea of it being compared in any manner to being trans. Like that somehow makes being plural “just a choice.”
I did not choose to be a boy anymore then I choose to be a headmate in a system. The same goes for wholely endogenic systems, including willogenic/tulpa systems. Even if they willed or made their headmates, once they exist, they exist, and forcing dormancy is highly unethical the vast majority of the time and can backfire really fucking badly.
It isn’t a choice they can undo lightly, nor would most want to just to make you feel better about them. Not to mention the ethics of such a decision and the fact the created headmates themselves did not choose to be created.
I “choose” to identify as transmasc because it describes my feelings of being a boy, and I “choose” to identify as plural because it describes us being more then one. My headmates exist regardless of what words we use, plurality just explains our experiences the best.
That doesn’t change because the orgin for that core experience of being more then one is different. Maybe they don’t experience the negatives that come from our specific trauma, so what? Why does that suddenly make their experience fake? Because it doesn’t aligned with the psych idea of what causes DID? When DID isn’t even the thing they are talking about? What a load of bullshit.
Honestly I think of one the worst ideas that came from syscourse is this idea that plurality started with DID. That it somehow owns the whole idea of having more the one consciousnes or self in one body. The moment you admit that idea extends to spiritual systems in a non-traumagenic manner, is the moment you admit that plurality is not exclusive to trauma. This is an idea that has long been a thing before even MPD was conceived of.
Plurality is just putting a word to the experience that has existed for as long as humans have been a thing.
Maybe we need not be so scared of having similar experiences to people we consider “lucky”, maybe we need to open our mind to the vast diversity of experiences that the human brain is capable of and just listen. :}
Listen to endogenic systems about their own experiences.
One thing I don’t understand about endogenic hate is that if someone wanted to fake having a disorder, they would just… say they have the disorder??? You don’t see people creating entirely new names and separating themselves from the disorder that they’re ‘faking’ for literally ANYTHING else.
I have never heard about a not-quite ADHD that an entire community says they have, just so they can say words like ‘hyperfixation’ and get attention for being different.
If someone wanted to steal your terms, resources, and lie about their experiences, they would just SAY THEY HAVE what you have, not paint a target on their backs by calling themselves endogenic. Why would a group of liars say outright that they’re lying?
And even if they wouldn’t lie about having a disorder, they wouldn’t make up an entirely new term for their existence. You see a lot of neurotypical using terms like ‘special interest’ ‘overstimulated’ ‘hyperfixation’, etc. None of them created their own neurodivergent identity just so they can use those words. They just use them.
Choosing to remember the good parts of our irl childhood as our adult headmates instead of our "real" dna doners
Fuck you, the princess of Hyrule stayed home with us when we were sick, the genderqueer transsexual menace watched pirated teen titans with us, the vaultie was our little league coach
Analog horror series where a vhs alien does the macarena: cries, can't be around open windows, panicked, hiding under covers, all the lights on
Traditional horror movie about an alien that plants its spawn in the stomach of a guy, eats some other guys, and is shot out of the airlock only to return with more of its species later: she's literally me you guys
I suppose by definition yes, my job is to categorize everyone and everything in the system and it's far easier to do that if there are fewer of us, though I don't really describe us with "subtractgenic"
A few years ago our blissfully unaware singletsona looked at we/us pronouns and said “Wow, that feels so comfortable and so much better than I/me…this means nothing and I will continue to ignore my OCs that I definitely JUST kin and are definitely not thinking and talking and existing separately to me in my head. I’m such a normal one person haha”. Like looking back it makes so much sense why we had such fluctuating feelings on our OCs. Like yeah sometimes that’s Literally Me and other times they couldn’t be more different to me and that’s definitely normal. Look up fronting right now brochacho
Well as they say, denial is a river in Egypt, and by god we’re drowning in it. -Holland
We used to be terrified of using plural pronouns because we thought it was appropriative of plurals (which is just silly but moral ocd gonna ocd) and used to make representations of different facets of our identity Inside Out style (bruh)
Like, the call is literally coming from inside the house
Though we were also largely suppressing our trauma and it wasn't until recently that it was coming back to us that made us realize we were really us
While the voting is going on, I'll show you a couple of photos. I like that Billy had a silly and sexy vibe in different periods. That's what makes him so fun to watch. It's like giving a weird kid a lot of money... and something else... It's not just the 80s, but also the 70s and 90s! I think it's fun. Silly... silly...silly!
heres some propaganda for the one and only Chris Cornell!! He's winning right now but im terrified that he'll be paired up with like Freddie Mercury or something next round so here's some premature 80s propaganda for him anyways!
not to mention this video that I first saw from this tumblr post recently. https://www.tumblr.com/luminousrat/804914680663523328/please-please-please-this-video-of-chris?source=share . I have no words.
