before syscovery....

its hard to explain what was going on before it clicked, but it caused a whole lot of doubt about us being, yknow, "sane" and "normal."

im glad we figured it out, at the end of the day.

IMAGINE !! (plz read until the end, I don't target anyone here, this isn't made to hurt anybody) Imagine you had a really bad accident as a child that damadged your eyes and you see colours differently now, and it gives you really bad headaches and you feel very dizzy sometimes and it's really disabling. And you think it's important to study this, so you go see many doctors and scientists, and they study this phenomenon on you and many others who have experienced the same thing. They scientifically prove that you have all these symptoms (even though some of the people who had it knew it already). They are able to give you a diagnosis for that, and to help you get a little better, even though you will never be fully cured.

Now imagine that someone who is colourblind because of his genetics but has no diagnose for it (let's imagine there is no scientifical recognition for colourblind people) talks about his experience as a colourblind. He doesn't pretend like he has your headaches or your dizziness, he doesn't claim your diagnosis, he doesn't claim to be disabled, he just says he sees colours differently. Maybe not the way you do, but pretty close to it comparing to other people. He doesn't come straight to you and take your medicine, he doesn't invade your space, he doesn't say you're not valid. He just exists as a colourblind.

Would you start a bullying campaign against him and all the other colorblinds ? Real question. Would you consider feeling like he's stealing your disorder and say he's faking, he can perfectly see colours, he's doing it for attention, he doesn't exist, ...

Okay, now imagine that this post is about systems.

so it turns out there might've been a reason i was ignoring it

Tips For New Systems

Unsure if this'll become a "series" of posts, but if any newer discovered systems want them, I'll brew up ideas.

Please keep in mind what might help me, might not help you! Also, we're a C-DID system, some stuff we mention might not align with entirely non-trauma systems. :] We hope all origins get help out of this regardless.

Acronyms...

We love acronyms, blame SpongeBob for that! Here's a few, hopefully easy to remember, acronyms for your use!

A.S.S.I.G.N

Age, source, sexuality, internal role, gender, name.

N.A.P

Two meanings for this one! Name, appearance, purpose OR name, age, pronouns.

R.O.L.E

Role, orientation, location, experience

Speaking of documentation...

Getting caught up in documenting things will stress you out, at least in our experience. We highly suggest letting headmates make themselves known first before documenting them, however this obviously won't work for everyone.

When documenting write down what you consider important (or let whoever wants to make themselves known write down what they consider important about themselves). I gave you acronyms for funsies, but in reality you don't need to write down anything I gave if it's not beneficial to you.

Omit age if it doesn't matter, omit gender if it doesn't matter, omit roles if it doesn't matter. You don't need to document things. (Although, we are biased and personally thing it's helpful, so do with that what you will. You're free to ask questions about it.)

Aesthetics is a trap (in our experience).

Don't get caught up in making things look nice. This is for you first and foremost (and a potential therapist second if you have one) so please don't stress yourself trying to find the perfect symbol to put next to a custom field title. I promise you you'll be okay. You aren't faking or ugly as a system for not following along with the crowed of aesthetics (and those that do make theirs aesthetic aren't faking either!!! people are allowed to like pretty things!!!)

Going back to roles...they're to be helpful.

Roles are for you. If you have headmates that want to identify as a role, let them. Even if you don't think it'd suit them. Let them try on the label.

Even though roles are, somewhat, social constructs you might notice a few headmates align with common system "tropes" (unsure how to phrase this) such as a protector, persecutor*, little*, and even gatekeeper.

*persecutor is something I have qualms with as a label headmates put on other headmates. Do so with caution and I suggest, if applicable, asking said "persecutor" if they want to be titled that.

This is why I suggest letting them try on their own labels. Getting assigned persecutor when you're, for example, a protector doing your job can cause internal conflict. Sometimes helpers do things you don't like, maybe keep this in mind.

Also, not all persecutors, if they actually are one, are "misunderstood/misguided". I suggest reading this post about "evil" headmates I made.

*littles aren't just 5 year olds and can be complex in age; age varying, age flux, adult headmates that identify as little due to being permaregressed, etc. not deminishing the systems that do have below 10 year old littles, however your littles don't need to be innocent beans (in lack of better wording) to be littles.

Self expression's important

I made a small post about this here. The end of that post reads:

But just because you're not showing it off to the internet or a family member doesn't mean it's not seen, is it?

Was about headmates. You, whoever you are, can draw and express yourself and it'll eventually get seen by another headmate eventually.

Expressing yourself, in our opinion, is vital to being a system. You need to get your system...well...out of your system lol.

"How can I do that?" Good question!

How to express yourself as a system!

All of these have examples! These are all from us; no AI used!

Make a showcase of voice claims

Userboxes (feel free to send an ask about templates or making one of your own)

Draw yourself/others (look below!)

Site used, everything else is by Blade! Heart Burst is his ponysona. That cutie mark took ages to draw, by the way.

You can use bases to express yourself! We promise it's okay!!! Art is fun!!!! Deviant Art's entire culture was around being yourself and bases are EVERYWHERE. Feel free to shoot us an ask for our favorites!!!! (PLEASE!!!!!!!!)

One last note...

Let your headmates front. I'm not joking.

[the-harvest-system]

That one friend you know is a plural egg but you cant tell 'em bc you know they won't listen 💔💔

[the0peratingsystem]

By the way, if you're someone who's questioning plurality and trying to map out their potential system, please don't be deterred by having a high number of members.

The first two times we dabbled in syscovery, we stopped because it seemed like there were "too many of us". The knee-jerk reaction was that our brain was simply making a new OC for every situation/state we could think of. (that is also a form plurality can take btw, having a consistent roster is not mandatory. it just wasn't the case for us, we simply had more members than we thought to be "normal")

And also just don't be afraid to get things wrong about your system. Every model is an incorrect model, as they say in science, but some models are less incorrect than others :)
