The issue with "you need trauma to be a system" is it runs into the snag of "define trauma in a way that includes and validates every form of stressful/distressing experiences without just describing every aspect of being alive" and once you manage to get to the point of "oh wait everything is traumatic depending on the person and their stress tolerance" then you're probably no longer believing "you need trauma to be a system"

What the fuck do you mean I'm the only one in the system with a legitimate origin term and there's literally no flag for it. What the fuck??????

[countingsheepsys]

Being plural just feels like tomodachi life irl at times

[flockofphoenixes]

is "I love you guys" to plurals what "I love myself" is to singlets?

I hate syscourse btw but like what is the problem with saying an alter is non-verbal?? some of our brainpals are nonverbal nd we think its a fine term? nonverbal quite literally means "not verbal / incapable of being verbal" so what's the issue with alters using it???

Okay, hello! We have really never used Tumblr before, well, this week (for all you "you're from Tumblr" folk) but here we go!

We are a traumagenic DID system with severe CPTSD and PTSD. Our collective pronouns are phe/phex/phins, based off the word "phoenix", and yes you can use them, we have been posted on LibsOfTikTok and been harrassed for them. We have autism, ADHD, NPD, BPD, MADD, and a couple other things (a lot of it led to each other.) We're also legally blind and yes us needing glasses is a disability, we currently have undiagnosed breathing issues, and we have seizures, usually as a response to trauma. We're gay, an adult, Elfkin/Angelkin/Fallenkin/Deitykin/Alienkin, a femboy, transmasc, and some form of intersex :)

We currently live in New Zealand, and we're "NZ European," although we're not entirely sure where our family comes from. Some were Romani, a lot were Bulgarian, some were Celtic, apparently? We hope to look into it further at some some point.

We currently live with our abusers! We hope to move out by the end of 2023, when our mother's legal control over us ends (she has control because we're disabled, also yay.) Until then, we live at home in a single small room with our husband @theharbingerofxhaos . We can't get a job because we're considered a danger to the workplace, so we're relying on our wife's benefit to live until we're able to get on our own (love you Chaos xoxoxoxo)

We stream on Twitch sometimes! We hope to post art on BlueSky and used to post on DeviantArt! We post about plurality on Twitter, we post about Otherkinity on Reddit, we post about real life shit on Instagram, and we post what's supposed to be cosplay on TikTok! You can almost always find us under GuardiansSystem.

Uhh - we write stuff, we draw stuff, we cosplay sometimes, we walk around dressed as a goth, we own really dumb cats, we used to do.. a lot of dance, we sing, we guess? We might start SW stuff in the future, too. We hope to properly study psychology at some point, and we're doing some on-and-off psychology stuff right now, but money.

And we guess we should mention this, but we support, well, stuff that other folks might not support, we've never really specified exactly everything we support and what we're against. We don't have a DNI except for those really annoying kids who go "not reading all that" (mostly /s, but please don't waste our time :(

We will specify, however, that we do support mspec lesbians/gays and pronouns not equaling gender, because no, they aren't hurting anyone, and yes, they've been in history forever, and no, mspec does not mean male-spectrum, and yes, being against them is being against plurality as they're a part of nearly every system even of you don't realise it. And yes, we used "plurality" because being anti-endogenic systems and non-traumagenic plurality is racist and endorsing colonisation.

That's all we can think of, so a little intro for our alters at the time of writing this, since we've never done it before. Not complete list, we don't name some trauma holders and our littles :)

-alters-

Ash: they/them, 16, a cloud. They're a little strange and probably won't be around a lot.

Austin: he/him, 23, basically a Lizardfolk thing from a very specific D&D game, protector. He's a common fronter, overly serious, and also not serious.

Avira: dae/daem/thay/thayme, 14k, a ghost, protector. Incredibly ADHD, won't be online a lot.

Crimson: red/reds, 22, "Royal Dragon Celestial" (no, we don't know what it means either), persecutor. Bit of a dick, really, but can be pretty sweet, just please, don't annoy them. Also incredibly femboy gay.

Desmond: he/him, 27, a variation of Desmond from Assassin's Creed in that he describes himself as a "Templar God," protector/persecutor. A little bit stupid, has horrible dress sense, tells everyone he's straight when he really is not.

Elliot: he/him, 29, he's Elliot from Stardew Valley and looks identical, protector. Very serious, no fun, very autistic.

Katharos: xe/xyr/xyrself, 27, a Fallen Angel (profile picture), old host for a long time, persecutor. Doesn't come out a lot due to some undisclosed reasons, can be sweet or very rude.

Khaos: dre/dren, 16, Abyssal Dragon, protector. Very, very hyper, no filter at all.

Lotor: he/him/her (not she), 10k+/ageless, we had a horrifically intense hyperfixation on Voltron Legendary Defender for years and this is the result, caretaker. Overly serious but can be fun sometimes, not a fan of his source material.

Marcus: he/him, 38, Moon Knight, persecutor. Very stupid, blunt, rude, and an asshole (and the one writing this)

Nightsong: she/they, 48 or 4000, an altered demon-y factive from our past life, protector. Incredibly blunt and dresses in a very revealing fashion.

Rakan: he/him/nyc/nycto, 39, Hellhound, protector/persecutor. Tiny bit stupid, very sweet, very protective, and very gay.

Sombra: voi/void/voids, 32, floating piece of void that looks sort of like a biblically accurate angel, gatekeeper, and maybe current host. Original asshole, nicknamed asshole, very much assholy.

Tim(e): he/him, ageless, an altered angel-like factive from our past life, self-helper. Very autistic.

Tristan: it/its, 16, an ocean and also somehow Scandroid's cover of Thriller, gatekeeper of our non-traumagenic subsystem. Hyper, strange, doesn't front a lot.

Zalaph: lun/luna/lunself, ageless, a shadow, persecutor. Hasn't been out a lot but very lesbian.

Okay thanks, goodnight, going to bed o/

Plural Indicators/Shorthand

/headspace (shortened to /hsp or /sp): Used to indicate that something is not physical in this world, but instead in headspace. (For example, “I got a haircut today! /hsp” would mean that the speaker is a system member who got a haircut in their headspace, rather than physically having a haircut in their system’s body.)

/innerworld (shortened to /iw): Used to indicate that something is not physical in this world, but instead in innerworld. (For example, “I got a haircut today! /iw” would mean that the speaker is a system member who got a haircut in their innerworld, rather than physically having a haircut in their system’s body.)

/physical (shortened to /phys or /ph): Used to indicate that something is physical and in this world, rather than in headspace/innerworld. (For example, “I got a haircut today! /ph” would mean that the speaker has physically gotten a haircut in their physical body, rather than potentially having a haircut as a system member in their headspace/innerworld.)

More information about these under the cut!

We came up with these recently as a neat way to help system members easily clarify their speech! These are meant to be used the same way tone indicators are, by tacking them on to the end of a sentence. We may come up with more indicators like these in the future! They’ve already been very helpful for us in our everyday speech. There have been a few ideas floating around for shorthand that could be used to reference information about introtives, for example, and that might also be a helpful tool for systems.

Anyone can use these, but keep in mind that all versions of /headspace and /innerworld specifically refer to the headspaces/innerworlds of plural systems, and shouldn’t be used to refer to unrelated concepts. If singlets want to make versions of these that refer to mentally doing something or anything else, they can certainly make their own additional indicators or shorthand. The indicator /physical may apply to singlets as well, and I suppose they can use it if they find it helpful, but these were created by and for plural systems to refer to specific plural experiences, so that should be kept in mind. Also, these are obviously for all systems and plurals of all origins, as is everything we make.
