#chrysalis era

this, mayhaps, is a bit of ✨🍵hot take🍵✨, but i think that people should be able to conceptualize their own selves however way they see fit. no one has any business telling you how you should see yourself, especially if it comes from a place of conformist conditioning.

you shouldn't have to look for "signs" or "evidence" to validate how you feel about yourself. just go be queer, plural, and yourselves☘️

[faunabells]

i think the biggest comfort the plural community gave to us is the knowledge that we're enough. we don't have to fret over if we have too much or too little of trauma, dissociation, headmates, etc. we're allowed to just exist.

that is kind of connection that keeps social spaces together and strong. thank you for being here.

the feeling of meeting someone you'd already knew is quite special and indescribable.

been bringin' a new meaning to the phrase "not feeling like myself" since the 2000s 💞🌼✌️🌼💞

we consider our collective as a community because! hyper-individualism within society's culture has taken away all of the greater connections we could've had. because! our self actualization is in need of importance and recognition. because! we work together, not for monetary or material compensation, but because we know of the happiness we can all share. because! because! because! even when we have valid reasons not to, we still care, love, and have trust in each other.

we all have individual needs and skills that co-exist in a single environment. that's why i& call our plurality a community.

✿welcome to the intro post manifesto!✿

✿✿✿we're the fragaria foragers!!✿✿✿

~as for who we are~

[ this intro post is a lil' bit outdated. so we'll be making a different one soon! we just need to gather the energy to do so. ]

♡ we all respond to the names bambie/fraise and use he/they/it prns

♡ our body's 20, born during the summer of 2004

♡ we're polyfragmented, adaptive, para/autigenic, and share a body with two other collectives. all together, we call ourselves the picnic party.

♡ we also maladaptive daydream, have audhd, low to moderate support needs, and experience alexithymia.

♡ we don't consider multiple likes/reblogs for our posts as spam.

♡ the artwork above is our silly lil' system persona! it's loosely based on how our body looks irl, only embellished with some fantasy elements...in other words we deeply wished that our meat container had pointed ears and big, permanent strawberries on its head...(╥﹏╥)

~byf & interact~

♡ this space is 100% endo and nontraumagenic safe.

♡ while we don't do it frequently, we will just block anyone who makes uncomfortable. it may not be anything personal. we just, like many other tumblr users, want to have control of our digital environment.

♡ due to dissociation and a plethora of other hurdles, we may be slow to blogging og posts.

♡ our blog is primarily a source for plural positivity, but we want to post other stuff that makes us happy! things such as biology, reviews of media, and neurodiversity.

♡ we want to make our space as accessible to others as possible, so if there's anything we can do, pls don't be scared to tell us! on the topic of dms/asks: we don't bite, so you can talk to us/ask questions. (though, most of us are shy, so we may be awkward to talk to-) if there's hate/discourse/harassment involved, we'll simply ignore & block you.

[ final id: it's the same as the first, just repeated below the drawing. ]

~a collection of userboxes and sideblogs undercut~

this isn't all of our sideblogs, just the ones we wanted to share here:

@cherubs-on-rollerskates ~ an agere safe space for the kiddos & caregivers

@fauna-frolics ~ an all animal related identity blog

@chthonic-dreams ~ nichoe's fandom pjo/hoo blog

@cherished-milk ~ an aesthetic blog that belongs to the kitschy-kitties, one of the picnic party's separate collectives.

[ id for first userbox: a green box with only my melody's pink rabbit ears being visible in a field of flowers. the text reads: this collective is shy and finds communication to be difficult. ] [ id for second userbox: a pink box with a cartoon paw that's made out of strawberries in front of a green, white, and pink bg. this is the pawberrygender flag. the text reads: this collective is anthro in a nonhuman sense. ] [ id for final userbox: a green box with the eighties strawberry shortcake cast inside a heart. the text reads: this collective view themselves as a community. ]

the art and userboxes are made by us, and anyone can use the boxes if they wish! credit is appreciated, but not necessarily needed. ( ^-^ )

tags will be added as we get ideas for them.
