Hostless

Things rarely make sense here good luck keeping up with who's who when

[systemmaintenance]

Our old pinned post ended up outdated so we deleted it but here's a new introductory post and an attempt at a DNI list✨

Hello!👋✨ We are the Chorus System collectively called Saline or Chorus and we are bodily 17 and white living in the US. We have no Host and no Gatekeeper but we have numerous frequent fronters. We are at about 158 alters (not counting subsys numbers) and are fairly introject heavy, we have mostly grey-out amnesia with the occasional blackout amnesia.

Our main DNIs are endos or people who believe in any other form of system then traumagenic. Systems are formed through trauma and this is not debatable. We mostly just reblog posts but occasionally post things about our system!

We're mostly just vibing but we thought it would be cool to make an intro post for people who may end up liking what we post lol

”I want to know your headcount” “I want to know who’s fronting” so do I, get in line

[system-hottakes]

hey did u get mine? i was talking ab how 'problematic alters' complain ab being discriminated against for their source but then refuse to start the steps to source seperate and just continue to complain when its their own fault lmao

i did. i didn't post it because it is not someones fault when they're being harassed. source separation is not fucking easy and you should never force someone to source separate just because they have a "problematic source". its like blaming trans people that don't pass for being misgendered because "they refuse to start the steps to transition then complain when its their own fault". fuck off and get off my blog. i do not support forcing systems to do anything. introjects do not have to separate from source and they shouldn't have to for you to be respectful to them. it is not an introjects fault for existing, they aren't responsible for their source and you shouldn't act like they are whether they're source separated or not.

HAHAHAH I AM MY OWN TARGET AUDIENCE IM SO. FUNNY

system ask game for traumagenic systems <3

I: basics

❤️ - what type of CDD do you have?

🧡 - are you medically recognised/diagnosed? if not, do you plan to? (no judgement either way!)

💛 - if you are comfortable sharing, what is your headcount? do you keep track of it?

💚 - do you have a high or low split tolerance?

💙 - do you switch frequently or do you go longer periods between switching?

💜 - does your system have introjects of any kind?

🩷 - do you have any subsystems?

II: alters

🎥 - who are your frequent fronters?

📼 - do you have any non-human alters? if yes, which species are the majority of them?

🎞️ - do the alters in your system use more medical coined roles or more community coined roles? or both/neither? do you find them useful?

📺 - do you make/buy gifts to other alters in the systems?

III: switching

☀️ - how much amnesia do you experience?

🌙 - do you experience black out amnesia?

⚡️ - what does switching feel like for you? does it vary between alters?

☄️ - do you experience quick switches or does it take longer to switch usually?

🌈 - do you get frontstuck often? what do you do to try to get ‘un-stuck’?

☁️ - do you ever not notice you’ve switched, and suddenly realise that ‘you haven’t been you’ for a while?

💦 - can you switch ‘on command’ or is that something that is hard for your system? does it depend on the alter?

IV: headspace

🌱 - do you have a headspace? if yes, describe it! if no, do you want one?

🌿 - how easily accessed is your headspace?

☘️ - is there a place in your headspace where dormant alters go?

🌳 - do alters have their own rooms/areas in your headspace?

🌵 - is your headspace big, or smaller? is it complex/less complex?

🍃 - do you have specific alters that cannot access headspace at all?

🪴 - did you have to build your headspace over time, or was it just there?

V: general

🍭 - how did you pick your system name?

🍪 - do you have a collective name/identity/orientation? if yes, how did your system make those decisions?

🍬 - what’s the funniest thing another alter has said to you? (internally or externally communicated)

🍫 - how does your system handle in system disagreements in general?

🧁 - is there anyone specific in your system you don’t get along with?

🍰 - are you ‘out’ as a system to anyone? (online friends/partners etc. count!)

🍦 - how good is your communication with the rest of the system? does it vary much between different alters?

🍡 - are different alters part of different subcultures? which ones? (we are!)

remember that this is just for fun, and if anything feels invasive you do not have to answer the question! feel free to replace any question with a fun fact about your system or anything if you don’t feel like answering something! take care🫶🏻

[systemmaintenance]

❤️ - We're not sure, we need to do some more research to figure things out

🧡 - Not yet but we hope to someday be medically recognized or diagnosed. Currently we're not in a place where we can be

💛 - 158, we keep track of it best we can, we don't remove dormant alters from our headcount so it's probably closer to 140ish of alters who aren't dormant and this doesn't include the people we have yet to confirm

💚 - We split very very easily ⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠

💙 - Frequently

💜 - Many

🩷 - A few, I think maybe 2 or 3?

･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.

📽️ - Most are very distinctive and some people vary drastically from others while some don't have a distinct enough form for us to distinguish them from others

･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.

☀️🌙 - We rarely get full blackout amnesia but we have bear constant grey-out amnesia to the point where if we don't document stuff we won't remember it happened at all but as soon as we get reminded of it or if we have proof of it we can often remember what happened

⚡ - It varies

☁️ - Frequently

💦 - It's usually very difficult but it varies from person to person for us

･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.

🌱 - Yes! We've made a whole post about it describing it in detail!✨

🌿 - Decently easy

☘️ - Not that we know of

🌳 - Not really but some alters frequent certain areas more than others so those areas are sorta their's?

🌵- Big and semi-complex, we love it very much✨

🪴 - Not exactly build it but we did have to discover it peice by peice, we started off only really knowing about two rooms (we knew there was more but not what/where it was or how much more there was)

･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.

🍪 - We are collectively The Chorus System or just Chorus or Saline. We are collectively agender and aroace

🍬 - We have a quote book for our system but one of my favorites from back when we had a Host was "You cannot tell me the Host is not completely vibing and totally short"

🍫 - Democracy mostly, or just who's the loudest and most stubborn

🍰 - Our two partners and a few accepting friends from school

･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.

I hope you enjoyed our answers! We answered what we were comfortable with and we had a lot of fun with this! Thanks for the questions✨ /gen

Pjo fan plural culture is when we were younger we would regularly switch up who we said our godly parent would be lol

(the most popular ones were Poseidon, Apollo, Athena, and Aphrodite. But honestly it changed almost daily soooooooo)

We've all agreed ours would probably be Ares (as the collective)

Our friends also say Ghost could be an Oracle of Apollo just cuz they're really good at divination stuff

[witchinatree]

storytime invitation?? i guess thats what youd call it

how did you know you were aromantic/asexual/aroace?

i knew i was ace from the moment i learned what sex was, like ummm!!! you can keep that to yourself actually

[systemmaintenance]

When we were younger we heard about sex and were like "ew no" but then puberty and hormones happened so we were like "mmm maybe?" then we tried it and went "eeewwwwww no fucking way" and somewhere in there we also discovered that we're aro because we've never actually had a crush we've just either decided someone was pretty and therefore we must have a crush on them or we were friends with someone long enough that society said we must be dating now so yeah :/

We're hella aroace and don't want any relationships besides our QPR with our People™ and we don't want anyone touching us sexually ever

[fairie-angel-deactivated2024080]

my identity has been dissociative disordered :(

[sullina]

told someone i was aroace today and their immediate response was "how terrible!"

like, i've read from others that things like this happen, but ngl, actually experiencing it myself was a little surprising.

I wasn't really all that offended tho. I've only known this person for a few days.

But still. my first response was "how is it terrible?"

I'm not exactly "missing out" on anything. How could I miss out on something that sounds like a nightmare to me?

[systemmaintenance]

My favorite (/s) response I've gotten when telling someone I'm ace is "Do you have sexual trauma?" because they wholeheartedly believed that asexuality was caused my sexual trauma 100% of the time 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[pottletheidiot]

there are gay bars and lesbian bars and then “normal” straight bars so i think there should be aroace bars where absolutely none of that happens and we can sit there and discuss warhammer lore instead

i think that would be cool

[inhumanliquid]

Hey, Tumblr. Guess what. Relationships are defined by the people involved in them, and that's that. If people say they're friends, then they're friends. If people say they're dating, then they're dating. If they say it's a secret third thing, then that's what it is. Someone else's relationship isn't for you to decide.

[runwiththerain]

this is the same for people's attraction. if they say it's platonic, it's platonic. if they say it's romantic, it's romantic. if it's a secret third thing, it's said secret third thing. even if you'd view their attraction as something in the binary of romantic and platonic, what they define it as is what it is.

You know how in basic anatomy you learn about the blind spot, where the retina can’t pick up any light?

You know how you learn that the reason you don’t tend to notice your blind spot is because, rather than leaving an obvious gap of nothingness, your brain attempts to fill in the gap with surrounding information?

That’s how amnesia is for us. If we had giant, immediately obvious gaps in memory that could be noticed without prompting, that would lead us to discover our disorder much too soon. The brain tries to fill in the gaps.

I went to church today and we were talking about the Trinity and I realized God is canonically a system and I cannot unthink it please help.

[transcendental-dustpan]

Hey if you’re aspec in any way and you are reading this…

You’re queer as fuckin’ hell and that’s epic, keep doing what you do. Y’all’re valid

[it-its-culture-is]

It/its culture is preferring to call yourself a thing rather than a person :)

(At least for me)

[identitysoups]

When the dissociation is dissociating and nothing is making sense.

[cyber-abyssal-deactivated202509]

Me: "Oh man I have a God alter... I hope people don't think i have some kind of God complex and that i'm harmful or something... :("

Said God alter:

"Oh i love being alive, being human is so wonderful <3 I love having hope on others and being happy!"

"I'm dating my priest... He's so so hot <3"

"I'M SO SO POWERFUL!!! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!!! [pets a kitty] LIFE IS AMAZING!!!!!"

"I can create anything! [makes new OC] Yes... YEESSS, MY CREATION!! SO BEAUTIFUL!!!"
