THE FOUNDATION

Just a polyfrag system that's doing their best. ENDOS DNI. https://prns.cc/hohen

[the-foundation-sys]

☆ Welcome to our blog!

This is our catch-all blog for userboxes, system shenanigans, xenogender posts, 'x culture is...' etcetera! This blog is purely for fun and to help us pass time, so don't expect it to be anything completely professional. But we will be trying our best to do frequent updates and good posts!

☆ Who are we?

We're a polyfragmented system of 200+ discovered alters. We have various other comorbidities (both physical and mental) and we hope to help educate people on more stigmatised disorders, aswell as give some insight to what our life is like with these disorders!

Our collective system name is 'The Visage Of Malformed Encephalon', hence our tumblr name, and our subsystem names aren't going to be disclosed for now. Collectively, we use it/its pronouns.

☆ What is this blog about?

In this blog, we will be doing;

Xenogender coining! You guys can request xenogenders in our asks, and we will create a flag for it! We only ask that you provide the name and vague concept of what the flag will be for so we have something to go off.

Alter role coining! You guys can request alter roles in our ask box, and we'll create a flag and description for it! All we ask is that you give a brief summary of what you want the role to be about.

'x culture is....' You can submit asks that are along the lines of 'system culture is...' '[x disorder] culture is...' etcetera, and we'll post them! This blog is all for systems and disorders of any kind, so if you want to start your ask with a specific system type or disorder, go for it! (note that we are not required to post your submission, and if we find your submission uncomfortable, problematic etc, we won't post it.)

Answering questions! If you have any questions about our system (that are appropriate and not harmful) feel free to ask them, and we'll answer!

Talking about our system/life. Overall we enjoy talking about headspace, system life, our disorders, etcetera.

Userboxes! You can request userboxes of any type in our asks, and we'll make them! (again, we aren't required to make any userboxes we aren't comfortable with making.

System advice! By no means are we professionals, but we'll do our damned best to give advice and assistance to anyone in need.

btw we're still alive guys don't worry we've just been on heavy burnout and been busy with things that are a lot more important than a tumblr blog, like helping friends manage things with the police and cps, and meeting up with estranged family to get running away plans in order, so yk

having system friends irl that don't engage with syscource online is so funny, cuz you'll be explaining willo shit, what it means and the like and they'll look at you like this (which yeah, fair reaction)

[the-foundation-sys]

@c0ineater this was literally you when we introduced you to endo and transid bullshit lmao

not an ask or submission but my friend wanted yall to know that you have the same system name! Have a nice timezone :3

oh cool!! this actually isn't our system name or theme anymore, we just keep it as this on tumblr because we don't care enough to make a complete retheme lmao. hope you have a nice timezone too!

[the-foundation-sys]

hiii! It won't let me tag you for some reason but.. Uh, I'm @queerbutaliltotheleft (previously femboy) and I wanted to let my moot know that @i-got-a-virus-sadly

So. Um... I have to switch accounts in the meantime :')

dangg alright, all good! good luck with the switch, hopefully you can recover the account

[queerbutaliltotheleft]

What? What did pressure do?

Fuuckk, what happened now??

[the-foundation-sys]

zeal has sa and rape allegations from ren/nolongernull, creator of the game's soundtrack iirc? there's loads of documents being made, voiceactors leaving pressure, and nobody knows who to believe, especially since zeal released another document against ren's giant one calling out all the flaws in hers and giving his perspective of things

right now, nobody knows what's true and what isn't, it's very he-said she-said atm. for us personally, we're just abstaining and not playing or interacting with the game until there's a clear final point of truth that's released

[the-foundation-sys]

Day Eleven: How much control do you have over switches? Do you know of any specific things which cause specific alters to front?

so this is very dependant on a lot of things

i'd like to say we have some form of control- we can frontcall people, and we know quite a lot of front triggers + front repels, but we're normally pretty reliant on our higherups for the whole frontcalling thing? unless it's like a bonded pair or a subsystem we normally need to ask the higherups to frontcall for us

day 10 of 30 days of DID lets go lads

Day Ten: Have you ever done a system map? How extensively have you mapped your system?

we've actually never been able to make a map before bc of how complex our system is internally, because of how constantly it shifts, and because of how many layers and such they are. we do wanna finally start working on maps and atleast logging folk and noting down key areas, but even then we probably can't do it too extensively unless we wanna risk a trigger or anything

meow

woof

[the-foundation-sys]

wow i should catch us up on that 30 days thing huh

this is gonna be fun as one of the older guys who hasn't fronted in over a year

Day Eight: How did you first discover you were plural? Was it before, after, or during diagnosis?

mkay now this is the era i fronted more often in, so this i can answer. we discovered we were a system through one of our abusers (sadly). at first we just thought we had split personalities or intense mood swings or smth, and we just thought the personalities had different names as a means of identifying themselves and so our friends knew which name meant what and stuff, until our abuser pointed out how a normal person doesn't really have completely separate identities with their own personalities, full identities, likes and dislikes, 'jobs', manners of speaking, completely different memories, and that normal people don't experience severe amnesia and dissociation between their emotions. sooo our old host looked into it more and researched it, and sure as hell, yeah, that sounded a lot like what we were going through! continued to research it over the years, and we're now medically recognised, which is neat

Day Nine: What level of co-consciousness do you have? How do you feel your communication skills are within the system? How do you want to grow in those skills?

ooh this is a complex one, yikes.

i wouldn't say we have no communication.. but it's pretty ass not gonna lie. we can normally communicate with other fronting parts relatively well? but it depends on who those parts are and who else is in front. we can frontcall, but again, those are only really specific parts, and normally it has to be a handler or admin, not a regular part.

we're kinda good at logging and stuff, i guess? and we can somewhat communicate externally? but all in all it definitely isn't great, especially with how many subsystems and layers and sidesystems and shit there are (im one of our oldest known parts but i barely know ANYONE because I'm normally confined to my subsystem, and literally nobody who isn't already in the subsys can enter it, so that says a decent amount ig)

in the future it'd be good if we could get into the habit of just letting eachother exist and leaving notes and stuff for eachother, and communicating calmly

that's my sign to shut up bc my brain's starting to fall apart and melt, sorry guys, lowk don't be surprised if this ends up deleted bc that sudden fog is pretty ominous

waiter! waiter! more 30 days of DID!!

Day Seven: How many parts do you know of in the system? How many know about each other?

ooh boy. I'm gonna be real we genuinely don't know how many parts are in the system

i'd say there's around 60 - 80 full parts in the system (that we're aware of) but there's hundreds of fragments

we also have loads of subsystems and possible sidesystems, so there is going to be so much more than what we know about. right now, i can estimate 300 - 400 including fragments, but the real number is likely much higher, especially seeing as we're still in an abusive situation

gonna do the 30 days of did to distract me from the horrific dissociation and pain rn hi guys

Day Six: How do you feel about talking about the trauma which created your condition? Do you like to write about it privately or publicly? Why?

i guess it depends what the situation is, who we're talking about it with, and which part of the trauma it is. also depends who's fronting. some trauma, we can pretty easily talk about and don't mind discussing, but we're probably not likely to speak about it on tumblr and stuff in detail. we're pretty okay with mentioning surface level stuff and stuff without details (eg; we've experienced ICT and TBMC and still do actively) but we can't really go into detail in public. even when vague mentioning other surface level stuff, it's very dependant on what part of trauma that is, bc we might be unable to talk about it for long

in general we prefer to write about it privately, or in places/with people we trust. we talk about it in some safe servers and with close friends a lot, but otherwise we confine it to private areas so it can't be used against us and so it doesn't make our internal handlers and higherups get pissy

tldr its very dependant

hi guys 5th day of 30 days of DID

Day 5: How often do you switch? How often do you lose time? Talk a little about what dissociation is like for you.

wooboy

i'd honestly say it depends on the day and what we're doing? we don't have a host, and it's honestly really hard to tell when we switch sometimes since half the time we don't even realise we did until hours later

we lose SO much time bro we lose entire days. some of the older parts do a double take when they front every fuckin millenia and see the date

dissociation is pretty much a constant for us, especially with the other comorbid disorders influencing and/or encouraging it. we get REALLY freaked out when we fully feel emotions or fully register/feel things since we're always dissociated to an extent

when it comes to like switching n shit, dissociation crazy varies. sometimes we don't even really realise we switch because we tend to get very smooth ones over long peeiods, but the dissociation can also be jarring and intense. recently we gained a new internal handler (that's never fun) and the poor guy stuck in front with It was freaking out bc It would want front and throw out the most painful, sharp, jarring dissociation ever, and the other part would blink and there would be like 10 minutes just gone😭

but yeah it definitely depends and varies

30 days of DID again to distract me from who might be lurking in co.. don't wanna think about it

Day Four: Are you or any of the others in a relationship in or out of the system? How does dating work for you if you do it?

we haven't dated outside of the system in over a year (the others say the last time we did that, it was the final push that made our old host lose it and vanish?) but we have a lot of parts who date insystem!

for us, it can be pretty hard to realise if we're actually feeling something for another part or not, or if it's just friendship, attachment to their source, or other things (we struggle with processing and identifying emotion and thought), but we have plenty of parts who date insys. typically it actually helps us to function, since those parts end up working together pretty well, helping eachother when fronting, some have lower amnesia barriers, and their roles/personalities normally compliment eachother and make functioning much better!

(i myself am currently trying to work out if I'm catching feelings for another part or if it's just an attachment to other things/friendship, actually)

sometimes some of us yearn for a relationship outsys, but those never go well, and i feel it would end messily and unhealthily with how complex our system is and how many issues/needs we have. we just aren't really compatible with people or relationships no matter what

gonna do the 3rd day of 30 days of DID now and just get it out of the way, it's 5am for us so it's technically the 3rd day anyways

Day Three: What are your thoughts on integration? Do you wish to integrate?

Broad question. We're happy that integration works for other people, and we support it! We'd never force anyone away from it or into it. If it works for them? Great, go for it. If they don't want it? Cool, good for them.

As for the second part, I'm pretty sure we've collectively agreed integration isn't for us, and likely wouldn't be possible in the first place for us due to just how complex and 'severe' (for lack of a better word) our system is, and how ingrained pretty much all of it is into everything we do, everything we've done, and everything we will do

short answer, we support integration and we're happy it works for some people, but it personally isn't for us

watched one of the much more outspoken parts get into 2 separate arguments with some of our internal handlers today because he shared a bit too much information with me and 🟩, first time he "won" the argument and second time he was just blipped out of front suddenly

absolutely horrifying to watch and i have no idea what happened to him, so that's concerning

i can probably update this if i learn anything more? if I'm allowed to know what happens anyways

lesson learned don't try to go against the internal handlers i guess? (i did the exact same thing a few days ago. horrible idea, i don't recommend it)
