DMs: Replies may be slow if we aren't mutuals but no need to ask to DM, just know it may be a bit

Asking to be Mutuals: We'll probably check out your blog before just blindly following back but like why not. Quick note though, we don't follow from this blog (it's a sideblog)

Nicknames/Petnames: If you're not a jerk about it, sure

Digital Touch: Don't see why not

Front Requests: It just won't work

SYSCOURSE CODE:

👍/💛/📘/🔸/🟣/🌖/🔇/🌲🌳/🔇/🥧/🐊/🐜/🐳🐬

Translation for those who don't want to search it up!

This system:

Believes in endogenic plurality

Thinks the term "tulpa" is cultural appropriation, and other terms are better (but doesn't actively go out of its way to harrass systems who prefer this term. just personally doesn't agree with the usage of it)

Believes while sometimes people misunderstand their identity, it doesn't mean every endogenic system is just forgetting trauma

Believes shared spaces are good, but traumagenic, endogenic, xenogenic, and other systems need their own specific spaces too.

Does not believe endogenic plurality is comparable to transX

Is neutral on whether you can have a dissociative disorder without trauma (we haven't exactly done a lot of research, and don't want to talk over the facts, so.. no comment :P )

Would prefer not to state its opinion on introjects keeping names from cultures the body isn't a part of

Is supportive of well-researched self diagnosis

Would prefer not to state its opinion on the term "sysmed"

Is against traumascum as a term

Is supportive of endogenics using the term "system"

Is neutral on endogenics using the term "alter"

Doesn't understand, but is supportive of xeno origins

That's all!

Since Tumblr is apparently moving most of its staff to other projects and will run this site on a skeleton crew, we should better be prepared. How about we share our socials and save each others' somewhere else than on tumblr so we don't lose each other if this site should die! Feel free to reblog with what you're feeling comfortable with to share. Let's connect where we can!

[sris-sys]

While I'm not particularly a fan of the 5,000 different sites springing up every day trying to be the next big thing, Pillowfort seemed to be the simplest to get into, so we're working on setting up over there as FungalNetwork!

Not immediately jumping ship, but yeah

[lzrdprsn]

mutuals, I am dropping full sized candy bars in your pumpkin shaped pail.

[golden--goofball]

ahh yes… your son,

bane of arthropods III fruit

what the fuck does this mean. hey guys what does this mean.

[sris-sys]

I. have no idea! What!

[corrupted-os]

🦴⛓️; One thing I don’t understand is how in some plural spaces there’s a rule like “littles must be accompanied by a big/caretaker!” As if we have control over that?

Usually our littles front alone. They can handle themselves, though (as long as Scout stays quiet, because pups voice is SO different and high-pitched and pup can’t mask pupself). Idk just fronting isn’t something especially disordered systems can control, sometimes non-disordered systems can’t either.

Offline we have our partner system who is great at calming us down when we’re triggered, and their own caretaker will front for our littles. I’m sure most other systems (especially those around our body-age) have their coping skills?

Idk it’s just a weird rule! Weirdly controlling over other systems! I haven’t seen anyone else talk about this and it’s really strange.

[recordsystem]

Any place that treats littles as completely indistinguishable from actual children tends to be the worst.

[eroticcannibal]

Thats actually setting off some big red flags for me. The idea that any vulnerable individual MUST be accompanied *because of that vulnerable characteristic* (and not because of a legitimate, concrete need like "I need someone to make sure I don't get lost because that is what happens when I am on my own" or "I have a serious medical condition I cannot manage alone" or "I am litterally 2 years old") is something you look for to identify potential abuse. The presence of vulnerable characteristics is frequently used to justify controlling behaviour towards the vulnerable person, and making sure someone is ALWAYS accompanied regardless of individual need and circumstances is very extreme controlling behaviour.

Im not saying ppl saying this have malicious intent, just that its a dangerous idea. Even if littles were actual children (which they arent), like, thats not the way to treat kids either.

[sris-sys]

(note ahead of time: 'little' feels patronizing/condescending when used for [begin italics] ourselves [/end italics] so we will be avoiding that term in this reblog. use whatever term you'd like for your own system members, just clarifying why a different term is used in this particular reblog)

Someone in the tags brought up varying ages, so I'm going to join in on this too; a lot of the time, our syskids don't really.. have a defined age. They don't have a specific number. However, no matter what the age, they tend to lean more mature and able to handle themselves! Infact, I'm quite sure if not for the fact that we state an alter is 'slightly younger' in their Pluralkit description for boundaries' sake, nobody would be able to tell they're syskids without overanalyzing to a creepy extent. We also consider a 'syskid' anyone who seems vaguely under 18, so.. often, someone who would be considered old enough anyways, if not for the terminology.

We ALSO can't control who fronts. At all. The brain pulls out who it decides will help best, or someone who hasn't been here in a long while, or someone entirely new! We go through cycles of who's actually able to show up. So nearly 100% of the time, we just.. can't really control who's there anyways.

Our syskids can handle themselves near-perfectly fine, and when they cant, they know how to step away from a situation they aren't ready for. They're also pretty frequent fronters - hell, the Songwheel Subsystem would be considered a syskid in our book, and those guys front all the time! and since we can't really control who fronts.. the rule here is just "be smart, stay out of trouble, don't go on A03 without using all the filters we listed, and you're good." This has worked fine. It will continue to work fine, because we trust, respect, and communicate with eachother. We know how to work together; we've been doing this for at least 5 years, by now!

But despite all this.. servers will add rules that try to control where you allow your own system members to go. I know it's well meaning; many systems have less mature syskids (or littles), who could genuinely get hurt, or just don't understand the rules yet. I understand the logic behind it. But.. rules like these force systems with higher barriers, or less control over who fronts, or even systems who normally have GREAT control but just have someone frontstuck, to just.. not participate in the server whatsoever. Even though their participation wouldn't break any other rule, they are pre-emptively locked away from what could potentially be their only community they feel comfortable discussing themselves& in, because.. what, the moderators decided they know how your system works better than you? (I know this isn't the actual thought process there, but that's what it can feel like.)

Even without what the previous reblogger added, it's just.. odd. I'm not particularly a fan. So adding that.. yikes. REALLY not a fan.

(This post didn't really go anywhere, honestly. Sort of just a rehash of what others said. Still figured I'd join in, though, because. yeah, this topic has always bugged us.)

[sris-sys]

Guess who has the replying from sideblogs thing now!!

[cottonspotten]

would you eat safe, ethically sourced* human meat?

yes

no

other(?) / see results

Voting ended onOct 29, 2023

*person has consented to being eaten; they’ve donated their body. they died without suffering. you can cook the meat. you will not get sick from the meat.

bonus: explain why!

[cottonspotten]

personal favourite responses thus far

the people who have no moral qualms with cannibalism but but voted no because theyre picky eaters or dont like trying new things

the multiple vegetarians who voted yes

the one (1) person who (rightfully) called out the phrase 'ethically sourced human meat' (when i typed that out i had to take a long look at the choices ive made throughout my life)

"ever since i got into pokemon vore i've had a huge fascination in cannibalism"

the anime blog who reblogged this post not 5 minutes after my anime fan friend told me that "anime fans LOVE cannibalism"

“if they are my enemy”

and most of all - those who are reblogging without any commentary at all. because having absolutely NO thoughts on cannibalism is more fascinating than any possible response

[valtsv]

i have so much respect for quick-witted people who can just improvise a joke on the spot. when i tell a joke i have to do background research and rehearse it like i'm defending a thesis.

the bad news is that my mom was sad that her eggplants haven’t been growing; however, it turns out that the reason her eggplants haven’t been growing is because her eggplants were actually spinach. The good news is that her spinach is growing very well. She was also sad that her peppers haven’t been growing either, but it turns out that the peppers were actually eggplant. And I’m happy to report that the eggplant is also growing very well.

Could a homosexual lend me, an asexual, a single use of the word flaming?

[amulet-coin]

YOU have obtained:

[vulgarmaw]

I, a flaming asexual, need someone to please call the fire department. It is an emergency.

Perfectly executed joke, no notes

[homunculus-argument]

There's people for whom "we're leaving in the morning" means "we ride at dawn motherfuckers, you can finish waking up and getting dressed in the car, we'll grab breakfast somewhere along the way", and there's people for whom it means "we'll get going somewhere before noon".

And then they get married.

[nyancrimew]

hi nyancrimew. whos your favourite sonic character

wow this question comes with such great timing, ive been getting really into sonic autism again lately, thought i know very little of actual sonic canon (beyond whats in the movies) and have just personally decided that anything happening in the @snapscube fandubs is probably entirely canon. uuh i think my favs are like rouge and shadow cause edgy cool and kinda goth and stuff yknow, and tails is pretty awesome cause of the autism

[melonbride]

the way you wrote sonic autism makes it sound like an installment in the series

Sonic Autism for Xbox and PC (and Knuckles)

[one-time-i-dreamt]

One of my coworkers (who was now my brother) gave me some berries that unlocked the power of shapeshifting. Then we played Monopoly.

[charlataninred]

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

[meraarts]

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship
