Thailean

A Thailean headmate is a member of a system that holds purely positive thoughts or perceives the world as inherently positive, happy, and good. A thailean member might try to see the good in everyone, be overly trusting, see the world as purely positive and happy thing, and be unable to see the negative in things. Thailean members are often the counterparts to Melpomic members, but not always. Thailean can be both a role and a descriptor for a member.

Thailean’s name comes from Thalia, the Greek muse of comedy. The term is based off of black-and-white, or polarized thinking, where someone can only thing in absolutes with no grey area in between.

pseudosystem [pseudosystem] - A system member that acts like they themselves are plural, but in reality there are no other tangible members attached. e.x. A member that acts as if they switch out, are blurry/soupy, have a subsystem, etc, but no real members or fragments can be identified outside of the single member.

Any member that acts as if they are multiple / of a subsystem/sidesystem but are, in essance, a singular member.

This could be due to one being plural in their fictive source but not anymore, being the introject of a systemsona/singletsona, and more.

This can be replaced with any term that fits the situation or feels right, such as pseudoplural, pseudopolyfragmented, pseudosubsystem, pseudomedian, etc. [pseudoplural, pseudopolyfragmented, pseudosubsystem, pseudomedian, etc.]

Coined for ourselves with thanks to the Sky Squad for helping with the name! Useable by all systems! Sysmeds please DNI.

Singlets, please do not use this term. It is for members of systems only.

The flag colors are based on common aesthetics I see around! The blue would be for water-based aesthetics, the yellow is for beach or sun aesthetics, the pink is for pastelcore/fairycore/sanriocore/etc, the green is for any outside-based aesthetic, and the brown is for any rustic/academic/cabin based aesthetic.
