Shout out to alters that do chores/household tasks for the body. You are heros ♡

Okay, this is gonna be kinda hard for us bc we don't really talk about being a system outside of specific spaces. But, we're going to do an introduction post for us, just to kinda put names to the posts.

We don't all really know our roles, we don't even really have all the terminology down. Tbh, it's only thanks to social media that I even have the words I do have to explain what I go through literally every day. Hell, a couple of us don't even have names, we just kinda front and then disappear.

Milo- the host, 27, they/them. Nonbinary puppy-cat that enjoys photography, D&D, stoner shit, and general horror media. A big ass nerd. Likes low-impact nature walks, indie games, and kink. Autistic, picky eater, and goes non-verbal occasionally. Doesn't like loud noises, Family Guy, bland food, hot (above 74°F lol), and -phobes.

Jolene- the protector, 28, she/her. Dyke dog, bisexual lesbian. Enjoys kink, anime, spooky YouTube videos (especially LazyMasquerade), and hiking. Doesn't have a filter, goes off, kind of like "I can make it up later, but that's not gonna fly". Doesn't like smart technology (too complicated lol), mean jokes, Family Guy (or other shows like it), food that isn't meat and potatoes (or cheese), and alcohol.

Skye- unknown role, 16, she/they. Demisexual queer. Enjoys art, photography, writing, and hiking. Is timid, anxious, stuck in an "ask permission to do anything" mindset. Very picky eater, will always eat mashed potatoes. Doesn't like most foods that aren't typical safe foods, authority, AI (who does lol), bugs, strong smells (even good ones), and peanut butter.

Louis- the child, 6, they/them. Has a massive crush on Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Enjoys scary movies, nature walks, cartoons, and animals. Loves stuffies, but not to play with, for snuggles. Autistic, picky eater (like, really really picky), goes non-verbal regularly. Would become your best friend for a Cadbury Egg or chicken nuggets. Doesn't like real scary movies (based on true stories), being touched, being hot, getting partially wet (like stepping in a puddle), and being told what to do.

Twilight- emotion holder, 20s, he/him. Best described as a tiger/jaguar combo, not in the furry way (we love furries, he's just not one for clarification). Ace-aro. Enjoys gaming, hiking, stoner shit, and horror movies. Loves meat, especially steak. Was non-verbal entirely, uses writing to communicate but is working on talking. Doesn't like foods that aren't meat (even cheese, sadly), large crowds, strong smells, most tv/movies (he really only likes games), and mean people.

Emrys- unknown role, 100, he/they/fae. Fictive. A half-elf rogue that basically started as a DnD character for lack of better words. Queer. Enjoys urban foraging, stoner shit, thrill-seeking, and playing DnD. Doesn't play well with others, actually can't stand people who just start talking at us. Doesn't like sitting still, reading, dogs, and fast-food. Favorite food is beef jerky.

And that's us. We're a system of 6 (as far as we know, we didn't even know Skye existed until last year, and Emrys just came forward recently) with a lot of trauma that we don't even really remember fully. We kinda thought we were one person imagining it all for the longest time, in the first place. But this is us kinda working on de-internalizing stuff in a way

Nothing has ever been more validating as a system who thought I was making it up for 25 years than when one of my alters fronted in front of my old roommates and their dog, and the dog straight up would not come near her. Like, this dog absolutely adored me and would even growl at her owner when he hurt me. This dog basically treated me like another owner. And wouldn't go near Jolene, even whining at her when she tried to be friendly. There wasn't even a noticeable difference between us, she just was like "🤨this ain't the guy I like". And for someone who was told their entire childhood that they just had an overactive imagination and later on that they were making it up, it was so validating. I hid having alters for years bc I thought I was crazy. I thought people would tell me I was making it up or look at me different. I didn't even have the words to explain what I was experiencing. Like, we all were basically flipping tables over it and rode that rush for months
