Ceptive Term System

[No Flag]

The “Ceptive Term System (CTS)” describes a system of terms relating to being a perceptmate or ceptive. This term system as a whole is meant to emphasize the bonds of PMSC& and their headmates or headmates and their bonds within their own system.

[x] Perceptmate / [x]Ceptive

A(n) [x] perceptmate or [x]ceptive is a headmate who’s identified by what they are perceived as or perceived to be. A perceptmate or ceptive is based upon the “majority rule” of the thoughts or perceptions of a system(s) headmates upon another. This is not the same as being a role, as a role is a task, a headmate’s purpose, while being a perceptmate or ceptive is not a role, it is only based on what you are seen as, not what your “true” purpose is.

Examples of a Perceptmate or Ceptive would be:

A headmate who’s considered to be motherly and doesn’t have the role of being a mother or mother figure. This means that this headmate has a unique bond with others within their collective that perceive them to be their mother or as a motherly figure. The role of this headmate could be a caretaker who is perceived as being very motherly or a headmate who doesn’t have any caretaker roles but does have motherly traits that lead to them being perceived as motherly or a mother.

A headmate who’s considered to be very protective of other headmates / goes to bat for other headmates’ sakes would be perceived as a protector or a defender, while not having a role of either. This could be a headmate who very openly speaks their minds about certain subjects, what they want to be done about things, and persuades other headmates to seek new perspectives for the sake of the collective or the well-being of the headmates they care about. This means this headmate has a very unique bond with the others in the collective to be perceived as a protector or defender. The role of this headmate could be a manager or a conductor who is firm on doing what’s right for the collective which leads to them being perceived as a protector or defender. Another term that could describe this experience is defensor, in terms of a role.

A headmate who’s considered to be childlike and doesn’t have the role of being a child or child figure. This means that this headmate has a unique bond with others within their collective that perceive them to be their child or childlike. The role of this headmate could be a delight who is perceived to be childish in the ways they like to have fun or heavily indulges in childlike or childhood interests as ways to have fun. Another term that could describe this experience is pseudolittle, in terms of a role.

Below are some familial terms under the “Ceptive Term System” also known as the “Familial Ceptive Term System (FTCS).”

Questions and Answers

Below is a summary of what will be asked and what Mowabat has answered:

“Who coined Ceptive / Perceptmate?”

“Can I still use [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate terms or flags if I do have [x] as a role?”

“Can I still use [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate terms or flags if I personally identify with the terms or flags used more than my system perceives me as such?”

“Can I still use [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate terms or flags if someone or people outside my system perceives me as [x]?”

“Can I make my own terms or flags based off of Ceptive / Perceptmate?”

“If so, are there specific flag or coining rules I should follow?”

“Can I add my or your++ [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate terms to Pluralpedia?”

Who coined Ceptive / Perceptmate?

Mowabat from SeeInk Junction. She coined all the familial terms as well.

Can I still use [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate terms or flags if I do have [x] as a role?

You can, but you have to realize that the way you’re using them isn’t the original purpose for the Ceptive Term System. I&& would like for my&& terms to be used comfortably if you / your system strongly resonates with them, but do not alter the original meaning. For example, you can be a Momceptive and a Mother. You being a mother doesn’t change how you can still be perceived. If you are a mother who behaves in a very motherly way, you can identify as Momceptive. If you aren’t a mother but you are being perceived as one, you can identify as Momceptive. This is all to say, if you are a mother who behaves in a very motherly way and like the term / flags of being Momceptive, you can use the term / flags but you will also need to recognize the reason why you can use the term is because you are being perceived as motherly, not because you are a mother.



Can I still use [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate terms or flags if I personally identify with the terms or flags used more than my system perceives me as such?

No. The point of the Ceptive Term System is to emphasize PMSC& bonds with one another, not your perception of yourself.

Can I still use [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate terms or flags if someone or people outside my system perceives me as [x]?

Yes and no. Yes because in practice [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate would still be what another system perceives of you and would emphasize that bond more. In that case, you’d be able to use [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate as perception terms.

No because while [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate being used in that way would show a bond between systems, it wouldn’t be an in-system bond which is what the Ceptive Term System is specifically made for.

So yes, while you can still use [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate for headmates outside of your system, the way you’d be using the term wouldn’t be considered apart of the Ceptive Term System, it would be used as an individual experience with being a [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate.

Singlets are not included in any scenario…

Can I make my own terms or flags based off of Ceptive / Perceptmate?

Yes, as long as you keep the original meaning / definition intact.

If so, are there specific flag or coining rules I should follow?

When it comes to making a(n) [x]Ceptive or [x] Perceptmate term, you will have to use the Symbol below.

The symbol represents perspective. It could be a boat window, camera lens (more specifically polaroid in my&& familial flags), an eye, or marble. It can be anything that enhances the meaning of the term you’re going for.

To use the symbol accordingly, you would have to add something behind it to emphasize its meaning.

For example, the Familial Ceptive Term System flags all have hearts as their “base” symbols. This emphasizes the familial bond between headmates as the Ceptive Symbol is a gateway to that perspective, a “camera lens” into seeing that bond. Like a family photo.

When it comes to the flag colors, it’s 7 lines, usually the same colors flipped acrossed, contrasting lighter and darker colors. Some have a gradient or half / half effect (Childmate to look more playful, Modamate to emphasize both terms)…It is to invoke feeling of the terms alongside the flag, as one…I’d&& say as long as your flag keeps a similar effect to any of that then it should be fine.

Can I add my or your++ [x]Ceptive / [x] Perceptmate terms to Pluralpedia?

You may, but we++ will not add them ourselves++, as I&& have no interest in posting my&& terms there anymore. It is your responsibility to properly formulate the terms and distinguish your terms from the Ceptive Term System if they do specifically involve bonds outside of your system. I&& am to still be credited regardless of the versions of the terms being used. EDIT: This is another headmate speaking but just wanted to say that the definitions of Momate, Modamate, Dadmate, and Childmate are terms made before Mowabat understood what she felt / when the collective was still newly realized. These terms can still be used in place of the ceptive terms or in a similar manner. The difference between those terms is that they also include roles in their definitions while ceptive does not.
