TUMBLR. IDEA.

Power ranger esque show where each ranger has

1. A debilitating mental illness with a secondary, sometimes tertiary mental illness

2. A power that is the *worst* possible to have with their mental illness

3. A role in their team that is the *worst* possible for their mental illness

For example, under the cut:

Red ranger, the leader. Guess what! He (he for now, she doesn't know yet) has autism and has mild anti-social tendencies along with being an introvert. And has to lead! Uh oh, social interaction! People! Responsibility! The power? Showoff. The more people that believe in Red, the more strength, speed and damage resistance Red gets. How will Red contend with having a power based on charisma when "his" Rizz is negative? How can someone believe in Red, when red can barely believe in themself because of depression?

Blue Ranger, the Tactician. Guess what! Blue has anger issues! Not just any anger issues, and not hulk either. Blue has the ability Reactor, able to generate energy infinitely (albeit with limited capacity at any given time, so unleashing a nuke is kinda impossible) with numerous ways to release it from fireballs to heat to Kamehamehas. Upside, it can have a wide variety of niche applications if budgeted intelligently. Downside, anger doesn't let Blue think clearly, so it's useless if Blue can't keep calm. The secondary illness anxiety doesn't help either, as blue can't think well under pressure! Time limits are scary, thinking fast is hard, and oh god Blue only has enough energy left for a couple of laser shots why did they have to explode earlier?

Pink Ranger, the Rogue. Guess what! Pink has horrible intrusive thoughts about murdering their entire team and can't make the thoughts go away! It gives them depression and suicidal ideation! And on top of that, Pink has the ability Construct. Pink can summon any item they've held before in a green lantern esque form. Bad news- Pink grew up in a military family, and regularly struggles to make constructs other than actual lethal weapons. That family was also abusive to a point that Pink hallucinates sometimes! Very bad when your thoughts become reality! So, Pink buries all those Bad Thoughts (in the Unhealthy Coping Mechanism way) and limits constructs to things they've found during their time as a ranger- which makes them fear their weapons, regularly backfiring via intrusive thoughts causing a gun to appear in their mouth. Is it hallucination? Is it a construct? Pink never knows! But their paranoia around their own ability makes their intrusive thoughts worse! (This one is what inspired the idea as a whole!)

Yellow Ranger, the Support. Guess what! Yellow suffers from psychopathy and sociopathy, especially apathetic thinking with a side of narcissism and schizophrenia! They struggle with lack of emotions and want to help, but truly cannot feel much for their team. They try to sympathize, and try to recognize good and bad, but their own hallucinations, mild paranoia, and again, psychopathy, make it difficult. Also, yellow is the team's engineer and medic. Their ability is Boost, which gives a power up to the target based on yellow's bond with them. Uh oh! Yellow struggles with that! Even worse, yellow refuses to admit that they are kinda... dissociative. Identity wise. They have a couple of alters that they know internally, but that means that it's even harder to share a bond with the team as the current Fronter is often changing and memory sharing between them is a bit lacking. Combine that with a bit of recovering from narcissistic thinking and schizophrenia, and yellow feels like they can't bond with anyone no matter how hard they try. So they tend to isolate, often not intentionally.

Green, the Tank. Guess what! Green is a people pleaser with no regard for their own life and doesn't recognize how much harm they cause themself by taking damage for everyone. Quite literally in combat, but also mentally- if green can sacrifice just a little bit more to the team, surely that will be fulfilling. Surely if a few more pieces were cut out, green could rest knowing the team is safe. What makes this worse is gender dysphoria and depression! Green cannot see any possible worth in themself at all! Their interests are barely interesting anymore, and they hate their body, so they throw everything they can into helping the team to find any kind of worth. Green's ability? Damage Transfer. Green assigns a target or few, and can take the brunt of the damage away from the team and put it into themself. It comes with some increased base durability, but the given healing factor is disabled while transferring damage, so green slowly becomes more physically disabled the longer they fight. But if green can hold out just a bit longer, the team can win... just a bit longer. Just sacrifice a bit more. Just one more hit.

All of them are led by their officer, Dr. White. An emotionally unavailable, uncaring corporate entity that uses the rangers essentially a pawns. The abusive parent, the control freak manager, the power-hungry boss. The true villain, after multiple seasons, who turns corporate power against them and narratively tests the character's mental healing.

All in all I want this story to shed some light on mental illnesses and how they affect people, from a more accurate POV- as well as reduce the idea that psychopathy, sociopathy, schizophrenia and other forms of insanity make someone inherently evil. That notion should be purged from society, and I want to help by viewing them in a thoughtful, positive light.

Imagine, if you will.

Two turbo-nerds that go to conventions. they're shy, anxious boys who just wanna try to have fun because their friends ask them to go.

the two boys meet at a specific fandom convention, and the both of them have complete opposing views on The Series. they hate each other.

now because the two nerds live in the same city, they always meet up at conventions- and argue with each other each time. they despise each other, they say, but there's a pride they both try to protect.

fast forward a couple years, and one day both nerds talk to their friends and come out as girl nerds. not quite on estrogen yet. the two girls go to a convention, and wouldn't you know it- the other nerd is trans too.

they both say they hate it. they both say the other nerd is copying her, or yadda yadda, all the while rock hard and they swear they don't know why.

both of them get prescriptions for estrogen, same day and same doctor. they're in the waiting room, and try not to talk, but they're the only ones there and it feels empty. they both stay at a reasonable volume at the request of the receptionist, which leads to them controlling their emotions for the other. they both swear they hate the other.

a couple conventions go by. the nerds transition as you do on estrogen, and a couple years later something clicks. they both go to a quiet spot to take their estrogen cause they forgot that morning, and wouldn't you know it. the other is there.

they say they hate each other. they say that the other isn't a real nerd because she has the 'worst takes in the fandom'. but seeing each other now? they both have a tent in their skirt. they try to take their estrogen and go, they both say to herself, but bickering ensues. one pokes the other's boob. then the other grabs at the first's thigh. soon the two of them are having lesbian sex in this nook, swearing they hate the other as they moan.

they both get back to their friends, after a quick clean up in the bathroom- where the only sinks left were right next to each other. they both can't look the other in the eyes. when they get back to their friends, they say nothing about the other girl until she's brought up and then they swear up and down they hate each other.

the next convention it happens again. the two go to the same nook to take meds, find the other, piss each other off and end up hatefucking and forced to hide the fact they had sex by cleaning up in the bathroom.

after so many conventions like this, where they swear they forgot to take meds, and trying to hide the fact they both get hard hearing the other's name, they both work up the courage to ask for numbers at the same time. there's no excuse of saying the other hates her- she just asked for her number too.

they both decide to hide the fact they have each other's numbers. and that they both shared addresses. and that they're neighbors.

and that they live in each other's apartments.

one day at a convention, a person asks why they're bickering. the two say they hate each other as they have tents in their skirts and are holding hands.

no one believes them anymore, not even them. so...

they stop saying it.

and say they love each other.

now kith.

Intro post.

Hi, I'm Jade. I'm an alter/headmate thing inside @the-macintosh-system . I get angry sometimes, loud music helps.

I reserve the right to tell or force anyone to fuck off this blog. There will be no nazis tolerated in my apartment. Go get Oedipus'd.

No idea what my gender is beyond what it isn't. I know I'm not a boy and I know I'm not quite a girl but definitely more girl than boy so figure out that one, true crime armchair detectives.

(Can't believe Blue's writing instincts wanted me to say 'last but not least' just now wtf) and then romance. I will have none of it. Let me have a videogame instead. Preferably one with sniper rifles.

So, green.

[the-macintosh-system]

Alright New pinned Post. Was hoping for conciseness, but I remembered I'm writing this so watch out.

Hi, we go by Mackie. We're a system of at least 15 headmates. We go by she/her as a group. Most of us individually go by she/her as well, so don't worry. By the way, they/them stops being neutral once you know someone's pronouns. This has been a recent problem, forgive the specificity.

Born 2007, you do the math on how old we are. This is not an age restricted blog, but I prefer you read at least some of the pinned before following. All of that is below the cut.

This is explicitly a pro-trans/enby/intersex/all-other-genders-or-lack-thereof blog. This is a pro-issuggestforcefem blog. If you can't tell the difference between "there should not be type of person where anyone can be accused of being that type of person and have their life socially ruined and all prospects for a good life shattered, because the government or anyone with influence can use that to freely imprison or kill anyone they deem a threat to power" and "children should be treated with dignity because they are people and the country currently treats children little to no better than actual slaves" and "a pedophile who encourages raping children" you do not meet the basic intelligence requirements to engage with this blog on a political and/or philosophical level. Go back to your ai slop, bootlicker.

This is a pro-system/plural/DID blog. There will be no spewing hate of me or any of my headmates. There will be no spewing hate of anyone under this umbrella. This has been a recent problem, so forgive the tone.

This is a pro-queer blog in general. Anyone spewing hate can fuck off. Love is love. Love those close to you before they die. Death is inevitable, so don't waste your life hating others that don't matter to you and love the ones that do matter. If you have problems with that, you reserve the right to fuckoff whenever you please.

This blog is explicitly anti-nazi, anti-fascist, anti-terf, anti-harry potter, anti-jkr, anti-generative ai, anti-corporate. If you have a problem with one, some or all of those, you reserve the right to fuckoff whenever.

If after reading all of the above and you wish to send hate asks, note that all sent hate will be on public display for mockery and to set examples for future possible hate senders. Read the info carefully before deciding to send hate so you don't make a fool of yourself.

Now for the fun stuff.

I'm Blue, as shown by blue text. We used to use colored text more, then we got more headmates than colors, so we sign our names mostly at the end of posts.

First up: old pinned for archiving reasons. We have been told multiple times it is broken, if it is for you we already know.

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

Next: our Bandcamp where we upload music.

Macintosh

Third: wattpad. Most of our writing is original, so we put it here not ao3.

TheMacintoshSystem (@TheMacintoshSystem)

4 Works, 1 Reading List, 1 Follower

We have a youtube channel at Macintosh Music, but we don't use it because youtube can fuck itself for being a shitty corporate gen ai hellhole.

We also have an ao3 that we use rarely, mostly because we don't write much fics, mostly original.

We do not have:

facebook, snapchat, instagram, tiktok, reddit, pinterest, spotify. Some of these we used to have and are now inactive. Do not talk to us on these site as either we won't respond or are a fake.

Aaand that should be it!
