Snowstorm Collective

This is our sysblog Collective pronouns: they/them

[pawsome-plurality]

I’m so curious. What’s a character you headcanon as a system who doesn’t have any “canonical evidence”? No mind palaces, no possession, no dark reflection, none of the tropes commonly seen in plural headcanons. A character who is a perfect example of “source: I made it the fuck up”

Ours is Pico from Pico’s School

Sure you're a queer inclusionist but are you normal about the identities of plural folks

[niimda]

Examples of being strange about plural identities:

Treating fictives like they're your blorbo as opposed to a whole guy.

Deciding for yourself how a fictive or factive should relate to their source, if you think fictives & factives *must* be different from their source in some amount, you are not normal about plural identities. If you make moral judgements on an introject for the contents of their source material, you are not normal about plural identities.

Looking at spiritual aspects of plurality with undue skepticism and doubt when they don't apply to you.

Talking down to a fictive or factive for having a "problematic" source, and assuming that everyone gets to pick exactly who they are.

Refusing to use everyone's individual name when asked, or only recognizing one person in the collective.

Gatekeeping and fakeclaiming. You're not normal about plural identities if you insist all plural people need to have trauma. You're not normal about plural identities if you think someone has "too many alters" or perceive their conversation as "roleplaying".

Dictating what someone is or is not able to experience based on your personal understanding of their history.

Reacting to someone's plurality by imagining and feeling sorry for the trauma you assume they went through.

Finding the idea of plurality scary. Even past the evil alter stuff, if you think someone switching without you noticing is frightening, you are not normal about plural people. If you read or watch horror based around a killer with DID or a tulpa who kills its creator, you are probably not very normal about plural identities.

Any "eww" or "cringe" reaction to someone talking about themselves.

Dismissing experiences because you personally don't view them as valid or real.

Shout out to systems that don't care about their origin or intricate labels

The plural community puts too much strain on how we began. But, not enough emphasis on how we are now. There's an expectancy, within this world, of sharing intimate details of one's life. And if you don't share enough, You're fake. And, if you share too much, you are also fake.

Whether you're a system as a result of trauma, and only wish to discuss it with trusted persons, or you simply just exist this way, or you have multiple origins and don't want to favor one origin over the other, tulpa/willomancers that dont want their headmates to be seen as lesser, or you're unsure of your origin or can't remember how it started, or you simply just don't care no matter what the cause is. You are valid. And I admire you for not giving into the pressure to label yourself.

A reminder~

Psst- these are also F2U and made by us <3

There's so much more of course, but too little time and space in one post to list off every single valid experience.. all plurality is valid, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

[theredstargalaxy]

In case you need them, here are some gentle reminders:

Your trauma is valid, no matter how "minor" others think it is.

Your origins are all valid; trauma isn't the only cause for a system's existence.

Persecutors are allowed to exist.

Protectors are allowed to make mistakes.

Caregivers are allowed to take breaks.

Littles are allowed to swear.

Hosts are allowed to step back.

It's okay for the smart sysmates to not know something.

It's okay for the tough ones to cry.

It's okay for the nice ones to stand up for themselves.

It's okay for the persecutors forgive.

It's okay for the protectors to let down their guard.

Anxiety holders are allowed to be calm.

Depression holders are allowed to feel happiness.

Mood boosters are allowed to be sad.

Anger holders are allowed to be happy

All of you are loved.

All of you are accepted on this page.

All of you deserve nice things.

All of you deserve to have good days.

You matter.

We love you. (platonically)

Heya mates :]

We made a flag for one of our headmates, cause we found out that there wasn't one already. So here's our Coziness Holder Flag :]

Feel free to use it, that's what it's for, just give credit. :]
