Things you may need to hear: Plurality edition

You are real. You exist. You are as much of an individual(s) as you desire to be

You will find people that treat you well, as you both want and deserve.

Where you came from doesn't define you; only what you choose now.

The world will acknowledge you and all plurals one day.

What happened to you wasn't fair and you deserve to heal how you need.

You are not broken. You are not lesser. You are still worthy.

You will be able to live as yourself/ves one day, and have the things you want.

The world doesn't get the right to define your existence for you.

Your memories are real, because anything that affects you so deeply is real.

You will achieve the healthy version of yourself/ves you desire.

You're not alone anymore.

It's going to change, but it's going to be okay.

(general/all types) Subsystem flag, simplified

Separated Subsystem, Prism Subsystem, and Nested Subsystem flags

Separated Subsystem - A group of alters that have one or more things that tie them together, despite all having their own internal bodies.

The most common reasons a group of alters would be considered a separated subsystem are usually either, there are strong communication and/or memory barriers between them and the rest of the system. And/or they all split from the same alter and/or formed at the same time for the same reason.

Prism Subsystem - A term we have been using to describe one of our subsystem. More or less meaning a subsystem that often function like a nested subsystem, however alters may sometime leave the shared body, and begin functioning like a separated subsystem. Before returning to their previous state.

Nested Subsystem - A group of alter that share a internal body and usually function similarly to how systems function in the outer world. This is the type most usually think of when the hear the word subsystem.

This description is bad and rambly probably we didn't sleep well

The general flag is supposed to have design aspects reminiscent of the other three and the purple and the kind of orangish color is cuz that's kind of the colors I associate with Alters probably because of the oldest the cdd flag at the teal is for disassociation and dissociative barriers cuz it's the awareness color for disassociation

For the separated subsystem flag the transparency is supposed to represent the both them not sharing an inner World body and distance from other subgroupings within the system

I'm going to be honest the prism subsystem flag is mostly just designed like that cuz it looks kind of like a prism and I thought it would look cool

The nested subsystem is both supposed to resemble nesting dolls as well as having kind of a woven look to represent the physical subsystem of the altars

The tulpamancy study AMA was so exciting!! We woke up ridiculously late and all the questions we wanted to ask already had been; so happy with the level of passion from the community!

some responses from the two researchers that we found interesting/exciting:

It's okay to want to be plural. It's okay to love being plural! It's okay to love those in your system, it's okay to be happier working as a team. There is joy in being plural for so many people - for some, it comes from the start, and for others, they have to claw and fight for it. Either way, it's okay to be proud! It's okay to find happiness in plurality. Healthy multiplicity is real

I love being plural! I love my headmates, i love their identities and their hobbies and seeing them fulfilled alongside me. I love the fluidity of change and not feeling pressured into a singular Self. I love myself and myselves and those of us that aren't me and those of us that are sort of but not really. I love being able to relax and sit back while someone else controls the body. I love the feeling of working together with different strengths! I love seeing other members' hobbies and skills develop, as well as their lives and selves grow and change. I love my system I love being plural and nobody will ever take that away from us

Plural/System members, do you wear different outfits in headspace?*

I wear a singular outfit exclusively in headspace and don't change it

I wear a singular outfit exclusively, but modify it at times

I wear a singular favorite outfit often, but sometimes change into other clothes

I wear a signature/favorite outfit and other outfits roughly equally

I wear other clothes mostly, but I have a favorite outfit I wear more than usual

I change my clothes inworld just as much as or more than one would in outerworld

My appearance changes in ways that arent applicable/comprehensible to outerworld

* This is directed towards whoever's in front or conscious and wants to answer, since asking for the entire system would likely respond in an overwhelming majority of "some do, some don't". That means this poll is likely to have some frequent fronter bias! Please keep this in mind as you look at the responses.

Also didn't account for pajamas when I wrote this whoops

rent lowering gunshots. trans system members in bodies that appear to correlate to their chosen gender have vast and varied reasons for their identities and are still trans. <3 intersectionality wins
