Us: Hey I just wanted to say we are a system
Friend: Okay! Thanks for telling me
Proceeds to treat everyone like the host and does not make an effort to treat anyone differently even when told it's not the host
And we even went into an indepth explanation about it all, so it's not like they just didn't have any idea :/
Idk what to do at this point
System: Hey I was wondering [insert question about systems]
The person they are asking: Yeah sure! *Sends a carrd*
I'm sorry, but I do not trust carrds because they never give you links to their sources on where they found that information. I have yet to see one discord server send an actual link or a document, or an actual website with information- or really any space on discord, reddit, Twitter, or even something here on tumblr... It's always carrds, and some things they have on there are wild it's like wtf 😭
Bro being a system is wild because like, who tf left the haft eaten turkey sandwich on the nightstand, who bought the boots that don't fit, who the hell is even writing this, who threw out the entire chair to our desk, who tf thought it would be a good idea to give the cat catnip, who even am I right now, who knew someone liked peanut butter so much they left a haft eaten jar out, who wrote an entire book in the notes app, who filled the gallery with memes, who told our life story in a random person's dms, why is the changer to the phone chewed up because it sure as hell wasn't the cat, who had the headphones last because they could be in the backrooms by now, who and what even am I, who thought it was funny to throw away my favorite jacket, who redid our simply plural, who is screaming, who where what and why is happening?
It's wild bro, like secret santa everyday

HEY. you. the system doubting their validity rn.
you are so real and so valid. your alters / headmates / parts are so real and so valid . you are loved .
you're doing great .
Being a mom and an anarchist and trying to figure out the whole "parenting" song and dance from that perspective makes me think 8-year-olds have about got it figured out. I hate school. I hate tests. I hate bedtime.
No like here’s the thing: children are an oppressed class. I mean that 100% sincerely. Children m are an oppressed class. They quite literally do not have the right to be free human beings.
Reposting from my twitter here, but: you wouldn't prevent an adult from speaking to their friend or eating when they were hungry. In your personal life that's abusive behavior, in the work sphere a suppression of workers' rights. Other places these rights are violated include: prison.
In Education and Peace, Maria Montessori describes the culture of war and identifies it as originating, on a personal level, in the struggle between the adult and the child that begins as soon as the child is born. This is the very first conflict. The adult subjects the child to their own wants and needs and completely disregards the needs, development and personhood of the child. This struggle continues throughout childhood, between both parents and children and other adults and children:
“Both the adult and the child are unaware of their own characteristic natures. They fight one another in a secret struggle that has gone on for countless generations and is becoming more violent today in our complicated and nerve-racking culture. The adult defeats the child; and once the child reaches adulthood the characteristic signs of the peace that is only an aftermath of war—destruction on one hand and painful adjustment on the other—remain with him for the rest of his life.”
This conflict positions children and adults relative to each other as two distinct classes, one with power and one without. Of course, there are other conflicts at play here—race is a huge one, gender another. And that’s not to say children can’t have power over parents, etc. But one of the most fundamental class conflicts is between adults and children.
Children exist in a state of war from day one. Their environment is completely unsuitable to them; they’re treated as if that’s their fault. They’ve literally been alive for less than a decade. Any action they take is done as a result of class conflict.
I vibe so hard w/ this
I work in childcare and multiple parents have been MYSTIFIED that I’m able to handle their “difficult” children (this includes both neurodivergent children and children who are just rude/mean/violent) and it’s impossible to get them to understand that 90% of the average kid’s behaviour “problems” are just frustration at having a lack of autonomy in their own lives. Some kids do have complicated problems, yes, but so many parents are confused by perfectly understandable reactions! Of course your child is acting out; they have no self-determination or right to their own resources and it’s the only avenue they have left to assert themselves! Of course your child just yelled at you and stormed off -- you were just bullying them! I heard you doing it! They were responding extremely reasonably to being bullied!
I swear half the people in this world -- including those who live with these kids 24-7 -- somehow manage to forget or conveniently ignore that kids are, in fact, people, and will act like people in response to situations.
there is no reason a child should not be able to eat when theyre hungry and not eat things they dislike. if they dont like vegetables then teach them how to make it a way they do like. if you wouldnt yell at and hit your grandparents for not finishing their plate why would you do that to a child. they learn from you, not from what goes through your head while you punish them.
I gotta say the notes on this post have been really heartening b/c "Children are people and not property" has historically been one of my more controversial opinions
School though. I was always EXTREMELY offended by being told how to use my child body. I should be able to shit and piss when I need to, I should not be forced into physical activity or be nude around peers or adults, if I need a drink or a snack, I should be allowed to go get that if the timing is convenient.
And I should not be forced to endure bullying from adults simply because they are my teachers. If I am bullied by peers they should suffer consequences, and if they violently assault me, they should be expelled. If I have a difficulty learning or understanding I should be accommodated. I should not be forced to get up at 7 am and go to school and after school shit, then come home and do more school shit, taking away time I need to grow and learn and play.
Yes, a certain amount of making kids do things is logistically unavoidable. You can't leave a six year old at home while you run errands. Kids need to contribute to housework, and cooperate in their education. But the degree of entitlement shown by adults towards controlling the minds and bodies of children is honestly repugnant.
A while back I was watching a video about a woman who works with "problem" horses and helps them overcome, usually, trauma and neglect. And she did it very gently. Yes, she established boundaries with them and there were things they were not allowed to do. But at one point a stallion was behaving in an agitated way and she pointed out his combination of anger and fear in his body language, and she backed off and said something like "This behavior is all right. It is healthy. It isn't what I was hoping he would do, but that doesn't matter right now. What matters is that he feels threatened, and he is right to let me know that."
And then she said something that just stabbed me in the heart. She said, and I do remember her exact words:
"He is allowed to defend his body."
It was a watershed moment for me both in thinking about how I approach animals, but also in how I suddenly understood my own trauma from childhood that occurred in school, home, and in medical contexts, and how I suddenly understood my adult reactions to my ongoing and neverending retraumatization at the hands of the medical and psychiatric professions.
I have the right to defend my body and my core psyche. And I had that right as a child as well. That wasn't well acknowledged then, and still is not, I live in a very toxic and controlling environment because I am disabled and mentally ill. Not being allowed to draw your own boundaries and decide your own fate fucks you up, man. It's literally killing me.
So yeah, a ton of this, now that I think about it, applies to disability as well.

I'm curious to know if any other system has experienced this, because right now it would be great to know we aren't alone.
I recently just became aware of huge chunk of the system, and learned that a lot of the alters that I thought were there... Aren't. It was a shock to find out that the system was using this kinda "fake identitys" to keep themself hidden and me unaware.
Most were what I had thought were introjects, I don't know why they would let me keep up with something that can be this damaging and harmful. But I suppose it was the only way to keep me unaware of what was happening behind the scenes.
Till recently I suddenly became hyper aware of Patch a non human alter, it wasn't a big surprise consider Patch was the first alter I was aware of before I knew what a system was and they just kinda blocked themself away after that.
Once that happened, I found 4 other alters, when I wasn't supposed too. They, to my surprise, are all non human. Mostly animals, dolls, plushies, which I would have never thought of existing within my system. Which seemed to be a thought I pushed on myself ALOT.
But even with the sudden change, it seems things are becoming more easy to communicate and even if it was a panic- things have calmed down. I'm not sure what happened, maybe it was a trigger, they let their mask fall, or something else.
I'm not sure, but this is definitely something I wanted to get off my chest because it seemed so bizarre to me. I wanted to know if any other systems can relate, or maybe someone can give me some information on what was actually happening..?
- Seth (he/him - host)
I can not express how relieved Gravel and I are that the person that fetishized us for being an angel and a demon has left the host's main friend group. We no longer have to deal with the extreme uncomfort that comes with being around them.
Along with that I'd like to say something.
If you know a system, fucking respect them. I don't give a shit if you think they're faking, I don't give a shit what their origin is, I don't give a shit how many alters they have or how many of a certain type of alter they have or how often they switch, or wether they're comfortable talking about their trauma or lack there of. Respect them. Respect the whole system. Even if you don't like them. Alters are still people, human or not. We deserve respect.
