The Ravenii System

the thing is, the world wasn't made for systems. the thing is, every singlet you meet will assume you are a singlet at first interaction. the thing is, many systems have to live in fear and denial and mask because the world is unkind to them and it will hurt them if they are open about it.

the world is not made for people who cannot remember most of their lives, of what they did or had to do yesterday. it punishes those people. the world is not made for multiple people in one body who change in personality. it ostracizes them. the world is unkind and unfair and it offers no support to anyone who's different- only telling them, "get it diagnosed and get it fixed."

what they mean is, "i do not love you if you aren't the one person i thought you were."

society is unkind to us. it demonizes us. it demands we re-fuse into one person, even if the shared trauma would kill us. it loves us as tragedy porn or it does not love us at all.

it speaks over us. it does not listen to us. and then it gets mad when we tell them we are tired, we are tired of being told we are not real or that our introjects are distilled to fandom content or that we have to hide ourselves to the public. we tell them we are tired of being denied kindness because of ableism, and we are angry.

then they are angry in return. "you aren't oppressed!" singlets cry, loudly, over any point we should make.

we are oppressed. you and everyone like you filled the air with poison, and we choke on it, and then you have the gall to tell us that the poison does not exist and we obviously aren't dying from it.

your privilege is a weapon. recognize it, damn you.

And the really eye-rolling thing about syscourse is if you read old essays on multiplicity from places such as Astraea's Web and the Dark Personalities archive the community has already HAD these conversations, even since Truddi Chase went publuc with her multiplicity. Even many traumagenic systems don't fit the medical model, and have in fact been badly hurt by it. I'm all for seperate spaces for systems that fit and don't fit the medicalized model, but sysmeds are the ones invading the latter.

Man, that is really eye-rolling.

Apologies for the late response, we suffered a hand injury about two days ago and it's just now not hurting to be at our desk.

This is why community history is so important, or else people are gonna keep endlessly repeating it.

Disability pride month

July is Disability Pride Month. The first Disability Pride started in Boston, MA in 1990 but it has since become an international celebration. The aim of Disability Pride is described by the founders of Disability Pride NYC to “promote inclusion, awareness, and visibility of people with disabilities, and redefine public perception of disability”.

The disability pride flag

The Disability Pride flag has some very interesting symbolism interpreted by the artist which include:

The Black Field: this field is to represent the disabled people who have lost their lives due to not only their illness, but also negligence, suicide, and eugenics.

The Lightning Bolt: the shape of the lightning bold represent the non-lateral lives that many disabled people live, often having to adapt themselves or their physical routes to get around an inaccessible society.

The Colours: each colour on this flag represents a different aspect of disability or impairment:

Blue: mental illness

Yellow: cognitive and intellectual disabilities

Green: sensory perception disabilities

Red: physical disabilities

[thebibliosphere]

The white stripe stands for invisible and undiagnosed disabilities. So even if you are struggling to get a diagnosis or worry your lack of diagnosis means you don’t belong, you absolutely do. 

You are part of our history, our community and our fight.

Happy Disability Pride Month.

WHY IS THIS ON MY DASH IT IS JUNE

A scientific article on non-disordered plurality

Was checking out some of the articles provided by system-resources that support endogenic / non-traumagenic and non-disordered plurality. I haven’t read all the way through this one yet but I’ll add on my thoughts as I go!

For the purposes of this post, the article uses the phrase dissociation to refer to all dissociative states, such as “being on autopilot”, as well as switching, and the existence of headmates in general. Although the author mainly uses it to refer to co-consciousness (plurality). Also this article is quite old so it still uses multiple personality to refer to DID / OSDD. His conclusions come from multiple clinical studies on people with dissociative disorders, as well as people who have other forms of dissociative states and takes into account the personal experiences of systems (which is just wonderful tbh, nothing about us without us)!

The thesis of this article is explicitly supportive of plurality not just existing as a disordered response to trauma! “Dissociation of consciousness has generally been seen as pathological. There is increasing evidence, however, that disordered states of consciousness can also be a components of a healthy developmental path. The phenomenon of dissociation into more than one personality, each with a separate sense of self-identity, allows for transformative processes to occur within ‘the community of selves’.” 

I don’t have time to add on more right now, but y’all should check this out! I’ll update later with more thoughts! It’s just mind blowing to me how an article written in 1990 is explicitly in support of non-disordered plurality / functional multiplicity.  

[xenodelic]

This article is also in support of systems that do not need or want to integrate. 

“… evidence has been accumulating from both the domains of clinical and cognitive psychology that the integrative path of development is by no means universal. A variety of dissociated states of consciousness, ranging from simple motor automatisms to multiple distinct personalities, may play a vital role in the health of the organism.”

On endogenic / non-traumagenic systems: 

“We know little about cases of MPD without traumatic etiology, but they are a potentially fertile ground for understanding the positive aspects of dissociation. Curtis (1986), for example, has induced multiplicity deliberately, using hypnosis, and, in the 65% of his patients able to easily dissociate, found a pattern of personalities consistent with MPD… This work and that of Hilgard (1977) on the hidden observer and Watkins and Watkins (1979-1980) on dissociated ego states are evidence that trauma is not a prerequisite for development of profound dissociation.”

This all comes from a peer reviewed article posted in an academic psychology journal by a PHD biologist / postdoctoral psychologist. There ARE experts in support of non-disordered and non-traumagenic plurality! As well as supporting systems for whom integration is not the path for them. Very exciting stuff!

Dear non-ADHDers:

We have ADHD. Sometimes we’ll get it on you. We don’t do it on purpose, it’s just not something we can control all that easily.

I recommend you find ways to enjoy the goo with us. It’ll make everything far more pleasant.

Theory Time

The reason endermen don’t like it when you look at them is because they communicate telepathically with one another by locking eyes! Humans are absolutely not designed to do this so when we look at them we are accidentally projecting all of our thoughts into them at the same time and it hurts :(

[ice-block]

But like, since the player is not of the Minecraft world, the player is just what the use to explore it, what if it’s like:

Enderman: *looks at player’s eyes*

There’s no third, funny option, just the first two because it’s good to just support people because they deserve support.

I’ve gone through all three of those labels to find my current identity as an omni aegosexual, so of course I support them
