Well hello! @the-snake-collective - Tumblr Blog

Hi! We're the snake collective (because we have a pet snake :3) Bodily a minor. We're pretty new to being a system so this blog will likely include a lot of figuring stuff out. This isn't our main, but irl people follow that blog and we're not out to them.

Please don't use you& terms with us, we just don't like them very much.

We love attention! Feel free to send asks and such!

We're pro endogenic plurality so if you're anti endo then like. Idk just don't send harassment please.

We think dnis are mostly ineffective so choose not to have one. We'll just block people we don't want interacting with us (such as terfs, racists, transandrophobes, etc).

#idk what else to put here I guess this is fine #we found out we were a system awhile ago and used this blog for that a bit #but then completely repressed it. we've come to agreement that we're a system now #bc before it was a bit less unanimous but now we're mostly in agreement #we had a lot of knowledge on systems before our syscovery bc we kinda knew subconsciously #so we kept searching out more info. but we've only known we were a system for a very short time #so right now are only certain of 2 of us. There's at least two more but we don't know much about them yet #decaying away #moth is talking #I put the poetry tag in earlier but it went away. huh.#guess tumblr decided to be weird.#Scars talks #Wolf growling #Rav yells

Recurring dreams are so interesting because they bring both comfort and fear.

#comfort because it's something I'm used to and know #fear because a) one day this will be gone b) is this really recurring or is deja vu acting up again?#snake hissing

reblog if you're ok with your singlet friends asking you questions about plurality and/or your system

hai :3 you don't have to reply to this but is there any advice you'd give to someone going through syscovery?

EVERYTHING will change as time goes on so don't stress too much about nailing everything down straight away!! if it helps go for it, but trying to figure out Every Single Thing All At Once might not be as helpful as you think it is! I started out thinking I had five Versions Of Myself in here. turns out there are more like 20 and we're all VERY different people. things change! that's incredibly normal!

you will doubt yourself a LOT. like SO much. this is normal and means nothing about whether you're a system or not. I've known I was part of a system for SIX YEARS now and I still doubt it sometimes. let it wash over you! try not to fixate on it!

stay as far away as you can from reddit. every single community on there based around osdd/did is just horrible. they're all obsessed with "figuring out fakers" and if you don't fit an EXTREMELY NARROW set of "criteria" they'll just straight up harass you. not worth it ever

picrew is your best friend. it might seem cheesy but it's a gamechanger in terms of figuring out appearances!

take it so easy. there's no time limit on figuring things out. just let life happen and you'll have a better time with it [:

your friends will probably be more accepting than you think! I've told friends who had NO knowledge on did/osdd/systems in general and after some initial confusion they've been really supportive.

BUT give yourself a few months before you tell anyone with certainty! some time to let things settle internally is always a good idea

ignore anyone who tries to tell you that you're wrong about the way your system works. every brain is different and every system experience will be different too. strangers cannot dictate your experiences!

if you're ever stressed out or miserable or worried about the future, I want you to think about me! 7 years since discovery and I'm thriving. love my life, love the others in my system, communication is good, wouldn't want a world without them. being part of a system can be a beautiful way to live life [: anyone who insists you have to be miserable about it is dead wrong. remember this
