Hello. We are Nova, an endogenic system of two. We're both 21 and we've been a system since late 2022. We're joining Tumblr to find memes about plurality and perhaps community, as our plural journey has been pretty isolated so far. We'd love endo friendly systems to interact with us.
We have a binary fronting split which means we can only front and exist one at a time. We're working on fixing that but for now, to keep things equal, we have a fronting schedule where we alternate who's in front every Sunday. We can switch as needed if it's truly necessary, but switching can be a little disorienting so we don't do it often. We'd love to get some practice in before Furality this June, though.
Meet The Headmates:
Hi, I'm Bard. It/Its. I'm polykin (an otherkin with multiple kin types.) and genderfluid. Below is a picture of my most recent VRChat avatar and further down is a picture of my fursona, Soup. If you'd like to learn more about me, please reach out. I'd love to chat.
(Moss is no longer fronting for now so I'll (Bard) write her bio for her and she may edit it later.)
Moss is a tulpa. She/Her. She's got amazing optimism and a joyful approach to life that can be really inspiring. She's creative and fun, drawing whenever she gets the chance. She's a big fan of Kasane Teto and Gumi. Making this Tumblr was her idea because she was inspired by the little bit of plural community she saw here. Below are images of her VRChat avatar and her fursona, Jellybean with a recent redesign. Jellybean may look different sometime soon. Also attached are Teto and Gumi pears Moss drew.
Goodbye:
We have no more headmates at this time. While we are interested in developing a larger support system, we need to work on system infrastructure so the situation can be fair and hospitable to new headmates. Our summer project is to work on wonderland immersion and co-consciousness so our headmates can interact with each other freely outside of dormancy. Until then, we will be a system of two.
We would love to meet other plural systems. We'd be happy to meet any endo friendly traumagenic systems, traumaendo systems, endo, or other mixed origin systems. Every system is valid and we'd love to talk.
It's tough being a system in a singlet's world so it's important for systems to find each other and form community where they can be validated and loved by each other. Hopefully our post here means we'll meet other systems like us.
It sorta feels like we can't relate to other systems — we dont have a mindspace and we only have three members — it just feels like we're odd or wrong in some way, idk it might just be because we're a sorta new system.
The average number of headmates for systems, according to some cursory glances at search engine results, range from about 8-13 people. It's time to appreciate these wonderful plurals who have systems on the smaller side!
Shoutout to:
Empty systems
Systems of only 2 people
Those who went through a major headcount change, such as a collapse
Systems where they're technically larger but only a handful front
Multiples who are mostly made up of dormant members
Being a small, very amnesiac, very confused system is annoying as hell. Speaking from experience because i am one.
Like every system I see on here is like 20+ members and has relationships and communication but we don't. We're less than 10 members. We don't like each other. We never say more than 1 word a month to each other.
It's why we took so long to stop denying it and start talking about it in therapy. Like why is normalized that systemhood is friends in a world in your head. Is it because that's the stuff that got popular and those systems are the figureheads of the community?
It's a lonely feeling. Like we're just not qualified for system acceptance. We're not friends/family and everybody has a piece of childhood trauma that torments them. Some have more pieces than others, and unfortunately the most traumatized are the primary fronters. And we don't even know who we are half the time. Rant over
(This post is meant for fellow traumagenics. I would prefer if endogenics interacted with my other posts instead of this one.)
