What was the hardest part of syscovery?

Honestly, for us- it’s mostly just been Acceptance.

Now we have gotten past (most of) our imposter syndrome and don’t question our systemhood all that often, so that’s not what I’m talking about.

I’m talking about the acceptance that, Yes- we will forget a majority of our life, and while we can work together to lessen that, it will always be a present factor in our life that we will have to accommodate for. That on any day bad or good, it’s ok to ask questions to our friends or partners if we need help remembering something.

Or the acceptance of losing parts of ourselves over time, seeing alters go dormant or fuse and having to accept that that part of us will most likely never return. Having to practice going through the motions of grief every time can be devastating on your mind, no matter if the change was a healthy choice- or out of survival.

There are many other reasons why acceptance is a huge part of being a system and dealing with life from that perspective that I don’t think many people really want to talk about. It’s tough, it’s scary, and it’s such an isolating disorder.

But, having friends and creating or joining a community for yourself is possible

Don’t ever think it’s not

have you ever met an unus fictive?

We have met several, along with having one in our system for a long period of time, but not currently.

I’m bored, so I’m opening up our blog to system asks.

You can ask us whatever you want as long as it’s not weird/creepy (anything you wouldn’t ask a total stranger).

For fictives you can ask about source stuff. But it may not get answered depending on who it’s about

Note: alter specific asks may take a while to answer as we will wait till they show up to answer.

Hey there fellow plurals/systems/multiples!

Got any burning questions about others' experiences of plurality?

Feel free to contribute to this list of questions, and we'll answer them on this blog at-random! Or you could always hop in our ask-box. :]

Or are you a singlet, curious about what plurality means?

Then you may want to check out the informative sources provided in our blog article about systemhood!

[PHOTO ID: an infographic-style image, with the text: "What is plurality? Plural/system: neurodivergency. A plural/system is an individual with multiple identity states and/or separate personalities (called alters, headmates, etc.) within them, which may or may not be disordered (i.e. DID, OSDD, etc.), comorbid with mental illness (i.e. cPTSD, NPD, BPD, etc.) and/or exist alongside other neurodivergencies (i.e. autism, ADHD). Someone may use this label for a plethora of reasons." Subtext reads: "Need some education? Read the sources attached below! blyandco.wordpress.com"]

whats pluralpunk

Hi! Happy to answer! This wiki puts it really succinctly but the tl;dr is this:

Somebody who accepts plurality of all shapes and sizes, no matter what.

We've been fakeclaimed, called horrible names and so on-- such is common for *any* system, let alone a fictive-heavy, multigenic one like us. Even though we hit practically every diagnostic criteria for DID and are professionally diagnosed.

I mean, no wonder so many systems are closetted in one way or another, right? If we wanna be supported in any way, we gotta put on a ton of false labels and mask.

This label is our little way of pushing back against the fakeclaiming and hate-- as well as providing an online safe space for those similar to us, or those that otherwise support our cause.

Keep in mind: we're not a psych professional, and our takes are just that-- opinions. If ya want a clearer, less biased, picture of plurality, make sure to talk to others. We're just one lil guy!

Thanks for the ask! Good question fs
