Partnergenic
Partnergenic is a Endogenic origin term which refers to headmates that form primarily in response to new or existing members in the system’s partner system- a system separate to their own which has headmates in relationships between the two (or more) systems- typically to be their counterpart, companion or partner.
For clarity, the partner system’s headmate will be called Muses, as they inspired and drive the formation of the Partnergenic headmate(s) and there can be more than one Muse and/or more than one headmate formed in response to the Muses.
Relationships between the Partnergenic headmate(s) and the Muse can be romantic, platonic, soulmates, queerplatonic, familial or any other relationship, though do lean more so towards romantic relationships.
Some Partnergenic headmates and their Muse can feel synced, linked, bonded, connected and/or bound together in destiny in some form or another. The Partnergenic headmate and their Muse can typically read and understand each other on an emotional level better than others can, and even after recently forming can mutually fall in love with the Muse quickly due to this deeper understanding.
Partnergenic headmates have potential to be traumagenic in nature for different circumstances, though the choice to discern if the circumstances were traumagenic while fitting the description of Partnergenic is up to the discretion of the system and headmates themselves. This stipulation is to open the term to not make it specifically or exclusively Endogenic- thus this term is not exclusive.
Partnergenic can also refer to IntusPartnergenic headmates, and while the definitions for each are differing as to the system the headmate formed in in regards to their Muse, this term can still be seen as an umbrella term for the following terms.
PseudoPartnergenic
A subset of Partnergenic that defines a headmate who has formed in response to a Muse from their system’s partner system, however they have no interest or otherwise have no connection with their Muse, not seeking a relationship of any kind or seeking a relationship with them regardless of their origin and not feeling linked to them in any way. The only connection the PseudoPartnergenic headmate has to their Muse is having formed in response to them.
PseudoPartnergenic headmates have every right to just use the label Partnergenic to describe themselves if they see fit (though they may prefer this term as it helps detach implications of a relationship between them.) This sub term is for specification and differentiation.
The prefix ‘Pseudo’ can be added onto any other Partnergenic term, such as PseudoIntusPartnergenic, which would together mean a headmate who formed in response to a Muse from within their own system, but have no further connection, relationship, or other interest in their Muse besides their origin.
‘Pseudo’ means ‘not genuine; a false version’, but is not intended to be derogatory.
IntusPartnergenic
A subset of Partnergenic that defines a headmate who has formed in response to a Muse from within their own system.
IntusPartnergenic headmates have every right to just use the label Partnergenic to describe themselves if they see fit. This sub term is for specification and differentiation.
‘Intus’ means ‘within’ or ‘inside’ in Latin.
ExtraPartnergenic
A subset of Partnergenic that defines a headmate who formed in response to a Muse from a system or source that is not a partner system to the system they are part of.
ExtraPartnergenic headmates have every right to just use the label Partnergenic to describe themselves if they see fit. This sub term is for specification and differentiation.
‘Extra’ means ‘outside’ in Latin.
WilloPartnergenic
A subset of Partnergenic that defines a headmate specifically made- willed into being or through use of tulpamancy- for a Muse in their partner system’s system. This is not recommended to do, however the existence of these headmates should be respected and and acknowledged regardless, as their relationships may well still be healthy and it is not our place to judge them for existing. There may have even been a headmate forming already who had a say in wanting to form faster due to having a Muse they want to interact with.
WilloPartnergenic headmates have every right to just use the label Partnergenic to describe themselves if they see fit. This sub term is for specification and differentiation. However due to it’s deliberate nature, it would be advised to use this term instead to separate it from the connotations of fully natural formation.
This is not inherently unhealthy nor derogatory.
The prefix ‘Willo’ can be added onto any other Partnergenic term, such as WilloIntusPartnergenic, which would together mean a deliberately/actively formed headmate who was formed in response to a Muse that exists within their own system.
‘Willo’ is taken from ‘Willogenic’, which is a system term that means the system was purposefully created.
Notes and Extra Information
These terms, other than WilloPartnergenic, are not intended for headmates who were made deliberately. None of these terms were intended for use wherein the headmate was made forcefully or against anyone’s will.
Nor were they made to encourage unhealthy or abusive relationships. These terms are for those who form from these perimeters naturally and, hopefully, then go on to have healthy relationships with their Muse (if interested and reciprocated.)
Don’t like these terms? DNI and block if you want to. No one’s going to stop you. But we don’t need people assuming that these terms encourage unhealthy relationships, especially when it implicates our own system’s members.
Questions Welcomed! Edits will be made updating with relevant corrections, clarifications and potentially new sub terms if needs be! <3
The Flags:
The colours and shades of purple and pink represent love and different relationships of different strengths, as well as the gradient representing the two coming together in the middle, forming to meet the other.
The whites and light blues of the hearts and central lines represent the systems themselves and the inherent separation of the two systems alongside the connection they maintain despite the distance and separation. The hearts complete each other, as some Partnergenic headmates and their Muse(s) may feel to be completed and balanced out by the other’s relationship with them. The colours within the hearts swapping continues the above themes.
(All of these are valid Partnergenic flags, feel free to design your own, change colours, make a smooth logo for the connected hearts etc, these are simply a baseline for the flag and it’s motif, use whichever one however you like! If you post them, you are encouraged to use the #partnergenic flags tag so they all come up together when searching and can eventually be added to a Pluralpedia page for this term as Alt flags!)
