#tw system collapse

[minnowco1ns]

fallout alarm

an alter whose warns others of an impending large-scale system disaster, such as a system collapse.

this may be internal (relaying to other headmates so they can prepare) or external (warning loved ones, friends, supportive figures like therapists, etc.)

doomsday prep

an alter who prepares for an impending large-scale system disaster, such as a system collapse.

this may include creating physical archives of information (either about the system itself, important information to have of the life/body, or of significant memories), making efforts to preserve/save other headmates (like bringing them into a very deep dormancy or a stasislike state), or trying to find ways to stave it off.

disaster suppressant

an alter who hides/masks/covers an impending large-scale system disaster, such as a system collapse.

this may be from only people on the outside, only from those within the system, from everyone except a select few, or it can simply extend to everyone.

When we had our og system collapse it was weird. Neither Dean nor I were aware we were headmates, but suddenly all the voices in our head had gone except the faint feeling of the other. It was strange. -Julian

divine headmate culture is we had a collapse and the only people left are gods or divine in some fashion except for one of us. i mean. everyone's sourced from characters with ridiculous power; a time traveler, two demons of varying power(duke of hell and serpent of eden), one full archangel, and our little who's an all powerful god that likes legend of zelda a lot.

TW: Trauma anniversary, insys death, system collape, grief

It's January.. And last year on January 20th we had to go though the biggest collapse in our systems history... About half of the known headmates at the time went dormant.. I know for a lot of systems this is a natural process, headmates go dormant.. but for us it really isn't... outside of collapses the only time headmates go dormant is through being forced dormant.. (which we regard as, as bad as murder, so this rarely happens, especially now)

A lot of us are very nervous about it.. and also a lot of us are not doing well with the very painful reminders of who we lost... I... I lost my son... I don't know.. if I could've prevented it.. but... if there was a way to get him back.. that's all I'd want... I'd rather him be here and me be in the hell that is Dormancy..... I miss him... so much... and his brother.. my other son... he's blamed me since it happened... hasn't talked to me for most of this year.... I don't blame him of course... he was... he experienced a lot due to that collapse... from what people tell me sometimes he doesn't even talk.... he went through hell.. because I couldn't save him.... I just... I wish I could have a better relationship with him.. so I could protect him... so next time... if there is a next time... I won't loose my son again.....

.... I regret what happened... everyday..... we had a big fight before everything happened... and.. he didn't trust me... he had every right to not.. I wasn't the best dad to him.. I know that... and when... the collapse happened.... he didn't trust me... he didn't trust that I'd take him to safety... and now he's......... gone.......... I just.... I should have been better... I was trying... I'm still trying... why did I let that happen..? I shouldn't have let that happen....

Some people lost their partners... and some lost their parents... it was... an awful experience... amd when we talk about it..a lot of the time people say things like "their just headmates" or "you know they're not really dead though" and.. I just need you to understand that our headmates are literally people... they aren't anything less... infect sometimes they feel more like people than people do... my relationships in my system are so so real... and.. most of the time... when people go dormant in collapses like that... it either takes years for them to come or... or they just don't... it's very much like death... there are a few headmates that can pull people out of dormancy... but it's dangerous and very harmful to both of them... so...

...Jeez, that's a lot. I'm so sorry.

No it makes sense to me that you're upset and hurt. A lot of you lost people who were important to you, of course it scares and upsets you. 🫂🫂🫂 Sorry that happened to you, Ethan.

TW: system collapse mention

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but when we went through a long system collapse in the previous years, our headspace quite literally shattered. Our system name is the Eclipse Labyrinth System, which was originally chosen because it was a mix of niche references to our biggest special interest. But, after our headspace shattered, the labyrinth aspect of our name became true. After it shattered, our headspace has become a labyrinth of (headspace) fragments, invisible barriers, and just general confusion. It's in pieces, and probably will be for a long time.

--- @mazeofmissingmoonlight

Plurals will mention system collapse, but only a select few of you talk about the aftermath of a collapse. I don't think we experienced one, maybe it happened briefly to us, but this wasn't how it turned out. It's more like we temporarily reverted back to being a singlet by being convinced that the others were just OCs and personas.

Hearing that some system collapses cause shattering is new to me, I thought there'd be almost nothing left. Actually, it'd be nice if I got to read about more experiences like this.

Okay, last post before I finally take a break from this blog.

It finally hit me that we went through a system collapse. I won't go into too many details, but the guilt I feel now makes it impossible to be here. It honestly feels like I've lost everyone forever.

I don't know how long I'll be gone. I expect at least a month, but I can't be sure.

To all my friends: I'm sorry. I'm not ignoring you. I just need time to process everything, and it will likely be a while before I can properly respond to your messages.

[bombogenic-culture-is]

bombogenic culture is getting so large and ending up having so many different emotions that it causes so much stress that your system goes kaboom and collapses and when the dust settles there’s 15 people with random personalities drifting in and disappearing forever after fronting one time and every alter knows that eventually this WILL happen again (projecting)

Looking at my headmates Instagram account and it's so upsetting knowing they might be gone, their pinned posts banner was of their kin and their partners lovelink and it's so devastating to see it, they were so in love and even then I feel so strongly for that ship because it was them and I think some part of them is still in me and I think that's beautiful that even if they might be gone, I'll still have a part of them with me
