Shoutout to fictionkin & fictives that enjoy their source as a coping mechanism for the exotrauma you went through. People love to hate on victims for enjoying exploring our traumas in a safe (often fictional or roleplay) space, and this combined with how intense &/or "abnormal" exotrauma can be can create a lot of shame. It sucks! So let's talk about it

If you like to watch your source even though it was traumatic for you -

If you like to play your source even though the gameplay involves harm to yourself or others -

If you like to write, roleplay out, or otherwise depict your self, your source, your trauma and recovery from it -

If viewing your source or telling details to others brings you comfort and identity euphoria rather than shame or fear -

If you feel the need to vent or traumadump when in source you would have stayed silent -

If your source still feels like "home" no matter how harmful it was -

It's okay to process the shit that happened to you in your own way. Take care of yourself and judge your limits carefully and you'll be just fine. You don't have to throw everything away in order to heal, and your trauma responses DEFINITELY aren't fake for it. We know ourselves best, dammit!

It's wonderful to have pride in your system and be open with it when you can! Be as loud and out as you feel safe being able to, because the more people that see us, the more people who will want to understand us or may recognize it in themselves. Disordered, nondisordered, traumagenic, endogenic, mixed - there are so many systems who aren't safe being themselves, so it makes those of us who are able to take the risk even more important to plural acceptance. We're not alone!! Pride shows that we stand together.

Remember, bigots don't want to hear your story, they don't care about the details - pride fights them by saying "We are here. You can't get rid of us. We deserve to exist." So talk about it when you can, be yourselves when you can, be openly multiple when the risk is low enough to you. We are here and nobody will ever change that.

As a non-binary intersex plural system the commonness of TMA/TME in plural spaces genuinely is driving us up the wall. Glad to see another system that's against this (let alone how much messier this all gets when you ARE plural).

Hey thank you so much anon, we were nervous about even posting that vent but messages like this remind us why we speak up. This (yet another) false dichotomy is so exhausting, and the concept of "affected vs exempt" is flawed on so many levels it'd make Shrek's onion analogy pass out

Being a system with members of different trans identities or even being nonbinary or intersex just does not feel anywhere near as safe anymore, especially in communities that are supposed to be for trans people. It's confusing and isolating. Stay safe out there anon; and to anyone reading this, don't forget your privacy with your body is yours. Nobody else has any right to know anything about your body. Your body does not determine everything about you and your experiences. This too will pass, and it won't be forever. We'll pull through someday.

Sailor Saturn is so distinctly me that its unreal. Literally my/our median selves' earliest kintype. We have memories of being six years old or less, watching our mother's old sailor moon DVDs. Studying her on the screen so intently and with such an intense pull that I didn't understand back then. The resonance I felt throughout my entire body, and still feel today. I needed to find out everything, so I could understand why it felt like this. Like feeling as if I needed to plunge her very existence into my soul and stand in the same place simultaneously. Little did I know I already stand in the same place, because I am myself. That pull is the feeling of Myself. The beauty of Otherkin self acceptance is allowing that feeling to fill your entire being, allowing yourself to be You.

Redid our tagging system! Getting rid of spaces and other ambiguous things for searching reasons.

Member posting tags are now not just tagged with their name, but instead in this format: "#[member].moonpool". For example, Badeline would be "#badeline.moonpool".

Subsystem tags are also now normalized! The Prism used to be the only one with a stable subsystem tag ("#prism subsys ([member])"). Now, the format for all subsystems who wish to identify publicly as such is "#[member].[subsystem].moonpool". For example, I would be "ouma.prism.moonpool". Pure Vanilla next to me would be "purevanilla.garden.moonpool".

Blurry tags follow the same format, "#blurry.moonpool" or "#blurry.[subsystem].moonpool"

Other frequent tags have been shortened with periods rather than spaces, they can be found in the pinned post with their old forms next to them. as far as the tags for our coined terms, art, and other such things, they'll be altered as well as we can manage to the new tags, and we'll also be updating our masterlists and putting them right next to the corresponding tags in the pinned post for better ease of access.

Thanks for reading!

hey, hope this isnt like. particularly weird to send? but hi! im that one anon from safe-cookie-kins who requested moonlight cookie stuff & eventually mentioned maybe being a system, who you messaged later about it. (though idk how clarifying that is tbh)

ive been coming back occasionally to look at the stuff there, & recently noticed the mention to this blog. im glad you seem to be doing well!

i came back to the idea of being a system about a year ago now, and now ive got a pretty well established headspace & alters i feel comfortable tagging in when i need to fully leave front (which was not the case at the beginning but! progress!)

i even decided to make a blog for us, and seeing your pinned post made me want to make mine prettier, so i even made some buttons for it.

i uh. hope this isnt a weird thing to send? i hope youre doing well & having a nice day sfhkdgkh

Hii sorry this is late oop, we kept meaning to reply but not having the spoons- this is REALLY wonderful to hear, thank you so much for sending! That kind of progress is genuinely amazing, congratulations!

We'd love to be mutuals if you wanna shoot us a message!

Question about the keychains, do the wood versions have the design on both sides?

Thank you for the ask! In the item description of the alterhuman keychains on Etsy, you'll find important information such as it being listed as "either double-sided acrylic or single-sided wood". I hope this helps!
