Hello system community of Tumblr, how do we feel about system rep in which the body of the system can shapeshift? (Aka alters have the ability to physically look different then the body/host looks via a known thing in that world- no matter how common/uncommon. The system being still 100% being a system, and being shown as such, alters can just change the look of the body beyond what we can IRL)

(this is not based on any specific thing, I was curious and Techno is grumpy about being front stuck)

How do you feel about a system having shapeshifting abilities in a peice of media?

This is terrible representation even if the system is written well

This is fine as long as the system is written well/accurately

I don't mind it, but I would prefer people don't do this

I like this idea a lot- because I'm in a system and wish I could do this

I like this idea a lot but I'm not a system

I don't know how to feel about this idea/I don't care

I think it's important to 100% stick to IRL system mechanics even in fantasy

This is offensive

This is chill, and a cool way to let other characters get what the sys is

No, alters should be in a body that doesn't change at all between them

(EDIT: Want to clarify that this isn't nesscarily asking "would this be a great representation of alters fronting" and more an ask of how other systems feel about this idea as a whole. Not good vs bad rep, but more if this was made/written, how would you feel about it. I've seen a few asks about smth similar on a few writing forums I'm in, so i was just wondering what the rest of y'all thought about it. To be clear: if this was made the system part of it would remain accurate, as in the bodies appearance doesn't just change due to an alter fronting, they simply have the ability to. Idk, wanted to clarify that as a few people have mentioned rep not existing in a vaccume (and I agree, its just in the tags so its harder to reblog lol), and I just wanted to make clear its not asking if this is a good way to represent what a system is, but rather if a system was written with this ability how would the community feel about it. Again, I was unsure myself and wanted to ask :)

Getting back into KOTLC, we expected to split introjects.

Why did it have to be Fitz’s fucking DAD though??

Conversation with our recently out of dormancy Katuski (Bakugou) introject:

Me: Damn, not another gay boy

Katsuki: I'm not gay??

Kegio: You definitely aren't straight

Katsuki: I'm not

Me: Bro, if you're Bi should'av said that when I asked

Katsuki: I'm not Bi. I'm aroace

Keigo: *confused in wtf were you doing for the whole show*

Katsuki: the only thing I'm attracted too is victory

One of the idiots fronted with me this morning, and proceeded to yoink the names of every person I know out of my brain.

Simply because they'd never met them

Tagging System

Headmate Tags

Headmate tags follow the formula of #cabinsys _ (with _ being replaced by the name used by that alter on the blog, as outlined either on their intro post or on the user list) i.e. #cabinsys grian referring to a headmate, while #grian directly refers to the character

Headmate Grouping Tags

Due to how our system chooses to function, and the different nature of experiences of alters with different roles, group tags are used when an alter is talking about experiences that only matter/reflect a single group in sys or its a post directly pointed at/relevant to that group.

Some of these are simple, such as tags for introjects, while others are more confusing or specific to our system.

Obvious/Systerm tags #fictives - fictives in our system #Introjects - introjects in our system #protectors - protectors in our system #hosts - our cohosts #caregivers - caregivers in our system System specific terms #council - members of the "council" that's in charge of our system #headspace dwellers - members of the system that do not front often #fronters - people to frequently front, but are not hosts #dungeon bois - specifically refers to the few alters who's whole job is to keep the 2-3 alters who cannot be trusted in headspace/front away #morons - the members of the system who are idiots /aff #academics - the members of the system who specifically exist to do school

Trigger Tags

#sysorigin - any post relating to the origin of our system (automatic tw: abuse, depression, mental health problems) #praythegodaway - any post relating to our issues with religion #sex jokes - any post with normally semi-explict material for the purpose of joking. (Adding this here mostly because it's technically a NSFW topic) #ableism- talking about experiences with this topic, either mental or physical ableism #mentally fucked - posts about our mental health /neg

Fandom-related

#fandom - fandom related post, search for individual fandom if you wish to find it #fanfics - fanfic recs #writing - writing projects #ao3 - posts about ao3 (not necessarily fan fiction) #our art/#_'s art - posts about art someone kn the system drew (replace _ with a headmate name)

The tagging system is not fooling proof, and we do use other tags, but these are the ones we try to add to all of our posts that require them so they are findable.
