hiatus

hey tumblr, oops we haven't posted in a while. life's been bad and been trying to sort our mental health out to have enough energy to post on this blog. but I really miss it and also feel kinda bad about leaving it without any notice. so yeah I just wanted to say we're on hiatus but will probably be back soon with some banger posts we're planning on writing.

also wanted to say thanks for all the support on our last post about normalizing in-sys relationships. didn't expect it to get so many notes and i'm really happy seeing it seems to have made some sort of impact even if small. we have a part 2 to it that we plan on writing eventually.

Friendly reminder that you can, in fact, enjoy your plurality!

I love my plurality! I love my headmates! (95% of the time)

It doesn't mean you're faking it, it doesn't mean you're invalid.

Love your plurality, embrace your plurality dude. It can fucking suck sometimes, but it can also be very fun and endearing

night in tokyo

[staticbluue]

Happy bisexual day of visibility, here are some Hawks I whipped up real quick :] I haven’t had time to do any full M*A*S*H illustrations just for fun because I’m Busy Busy Busy but I have fun and exciting things in store !!!

It’s also Bruce Springsteen’s birthday, so here’s a Bruce song from my Hawkeye playlist:

[thegeekcollective]

this has most definitely been said before but i think we as a society should make more plural headcanons and analysis on characters

[thegeekcollective]

yes. even to characters that are canonically singlets.

[spud-sys-deactivated20251230]

sometimes. it is okay to not know what's happening with your system. you will figure it out. just let it be weird for now.

[just-roman-around]

"you dont have to label yourself to be valid" and "it is okay to make up hyperspecific labels or claim a bunch of labels" can in fact co exist btw

[perspective-for-smile]

fictives, you deserve happiness, and to be true to yourself, whatever that means! theres a lot of preassure on fictives to be one way or another, to source separate or not, to do this and that, but... if you can safely be yourself, i think that path is worth considering.

NORMALIZE IN-SYS RELATIONSHIPS!!!!

Okay aggressive title aside I wanna talk about romantic headmate relationships

I want expressing them to be more normalized!!! I think it's generally well known at this point that headmates can have relationships with each other. But I never see it talked about much beyond that it's a thing that happens.

I wanna hear about how people experience their relationships. I wanna hear what folks do together and how they express their love.

But something we especially wanna hear is how systems do physical affection.

"Physical affection?! But you only have one body!" THAT DOES NOT STOP US IN FACT IT MAKES IT EXTREMELY INTIMATE

We hold our own hands. We kiss our own body. We wrap our arms around ourself. And we want this to be normalized. Okay sure maybe it looks a little odd at first, but this is normal to us. And we want others to see it as normal and okay too.

(I swear to fucking god if "showing headmate affection on camera" becomes the new thing used to fakeclaim like how switching on camera is I will YELL)

I wanna be able to show our affection in front of someone else and make them uncomfortable NOT BECAUSE IT'S OUR OWN BODY but because they're being a third wheel just like to singlet couples.

Thinkin a little bit about this blog

have been on an accidental hiatus and came back here to thoughts about our blog, being openly plural, and such.

This blog when created was meant to be a collective blog for all of us, but was seemingly probably created by only 1 or 2 of us who were frontstuck at the time (still exploring this our system is a mess) so as a result it's very themed by those folks who created it. even down to our original username only really described one of us hence why we changed it to something more collective or at least sorta neutral. And now we're trying to get back into the flow of being more harmonious with each other and allowing each other our own time, so that includes what we want to do with this blog. Both with little details like simply the color palette and big things like what we actually post on here. We have soooo many varied interests that if this was truly a collective blog it would be a mess of like 20 different fandoms. And we're debating on if we want a blog like that or not and how we would even keep up with that if we all wanted to be like actually active in those fandoms.

Before you say give everyone their own side blog: no we're not doing that there are too many of us for that it would be chaos and too messy and not really reflective of how we see ourselves (we are different people yes but also very intertwined with each other). We have considered tho maybe making a separate blog for plural stuff than for fandom/art/music/writing stuff but also dunno if we wanna do that because which one would be the main blog and also we want to post whatever we want on main which maybe sometimes is plural maybe sometimes is other topics idfk i'm thinking this up as i type it. like it would be more organized to have separate blogs sure but why separate it when both are very important things to us.

also before anyone asks about our paganism side blog: that one is separate to keep a more serious and cohesive tone to it and also to keep main friendly/accessible to those who may not wanna see any religious content. so it's a different debate than the one about if we should have a separate blog for plural stuff

Anyway my incoherent rambling aside. Fellow systems, how do you organize your blog(s) while also maintaining it being a collective thing/making it feel welcoming to all headmates while also not having it be a total mess?

[the-blue-garden]

Our blog is organized like an open journal. We have an intro post tag for ppl who are on frequently and I think it's a nice chance for ppl to give a little snapshot of their individuality, where they can be sure they won't just be treated like an exension of me as the host, and everyone who uses the blog is encouraged to add a personalized tag when they commentate/post. It hasn't been a particular challenge for us since the few who have been interested outside of passive scrolling have largely only wanted to journal or connect with other plurals. I (Leah) have a separate account, which tbh is annoying since you can't easily switch main accounts on the app, but an amenable workaround is that I have my personal account logged in on a mobile browser. That one's a lot of fandom stuff and outside of more passive scrolling, no one else has been interested in using it. Though Drew recently made her own account logged in on a different mobile browser, and she's been very clear it's to be hers and hers alone. If the number of accounts ever exceeds the number of mobile browsers we have ig we'll just have to cope with the extra steps of logging someone else out and us in.

I guess this is probably an unhelpful response as a lot of it essentially boils down to "yeah we're mostly just already on the same page and want the same thing out of this blog" lol. Though I also make sure to try and "decentralize" language and aesthetics away from me as the host. So in our sys info post I went back and removed I language, when posting I have my own tag to avoid implying that I'm the 'default' blogger and everyone else is just visiting, little things like that.

[solar-jack]

we're late to seeing this but just wanna say we appreciate the response and really like hearing this input. this is cool, thanks, we'll keep it in mind

[the-harvest-system]

Okay so who would want a youtube channel about plurality and systems but like- fun.

Not the usual:

"hurr durr, lookie here singlets i'm weeeeeeird. But look! I can make myself palatable for you while still making myself out to be a circus freak show exhibit! like my video pls pls follow me like my video LIKE MY VIDEO GIVE ME MOOOONNNNNEEEYYY"

or

"This is why if you are a system you should be suffering 24/7 and not ever be happy ever. By me, a system host who is a grade A asshole to my alters and definitely is not the reason why they all hate me and I haven't rEcOvErEd yet"

or

"Look at this I'm a normal neurotypical singlet and I am talking to this WEIRD FUCKING WEIRDO who is WEIRD!!"

or

"THIS PERSON IS A FAKER BECAUSE THEY'RE UNDER 18, USE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, HAVE DYED HAIR AND ARE AUTISTIC!! BULLY THEM OFF THE INTERNET MY LOYAL VIEWERS!!"

But like actual fun content!! Positive and entertaining, with some educational stuff sprinkled in. Plural people want to watch fun videos for them too!! We're think of things like this:

- Fun activities to do with headmates

- reacting to my headmates fanfics of my source

- plural adjacent media recommendations

But also some commentary and help vids

- plural news: a monthly look at the community

- systok and what's wrong with it

- etc.

Bc who doesn't like a bit of gossip ;3

Does anyone have any other ideas??? Oh and also tell us if you like the idea!!

[editedantiendoposts]

Btw, I can't believe I have to say this;

ENDOGENIC SUBSYSTEMS ARE A THING

Endos can have complex structures too. YOU CANNOT TELL PEOPLE HOW THEIR OWN BRAIN WORKS, PLEASE STOP.

Finished my zine piece therefore I can finally relax and have some fun
