Fang They/Them 20 DID system Otherkin

[the-wild-collective]

Introduction Timeeeee

Ok I always suck at these so bare with me-

Hi, we're Fang! You can also call us by our system name, the wild collective. We're a DID system of 20 members, and while we collectively share this blog, we will introduce the members you'll hear from most below.

As for a DNI, it's pretty basic. No transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, racism, or anything of the like. No alterhuman or furry hate, MAP's, anti age regression, neopronoun haters, or the like.

As for systems, we welcome all plurals to our blog! If you are anti-endo you will not be blocked, but please be aware we are supportive of endo systems. We will also not be offended if you chose to block us for this reason.

We don't post a lot, but when we do it's mostly about our ESSA's/DSSA's/SSD's. Sometimes it's system things or disability things too.

Our alters fluctuate A LOT for reasons we don't understand, but currently Onyx, Razor, Lynx, and Dakota are the main fronters and users of this blog.

Anyways, thank you for reading, and have a lovely day fellow creatures!

So we recently realized our Douglas buying is WAY out of control. We've always bought plushies to cope with stress so naturally with this being a stressful month we've bought a lot. We've collectively decided to try and not buy any plush for 30 days. To accomplish this, we've made a list of things we can do with the plush we already have! So once a day we spin this wheel and get a random activity to do, to distract us from wanting to buy/look at plush online.

I wanted to share the wheel here in case anyone else wants to do this just for fun :]

I'm starting to think I have too many Douglas but I refuse to rehome them T-T Some of them sure but the ones I want to rehome people don't usally want bc they're either common or not dogs

Trading a Douglas Plush

I honestly don't even know if this allowed on Tumblr, but I see so many Douglas collectors on here and Facebook groups seem to never have what I'm looking for. If anyone knows anywhere else I can reach out to big collectors please let me know!!

I'm trying to trade my George Rottweiler. He's a pink tag in very good condition. I recently bought him off of Ebay in hopes of him being an ESSA. Unfortunately I haven't bonded to him like I thought I would, and I feel bad having him just sit on a shelf, especially when so many people want him.

Here he is

I'm looking for 6-9" kohairs. The ones I want most are below on my ISO lists (sorry some are on both, I wasn't paying attention lol) but any small kohair dogs are interesting to me. I'm also willing to sell George, but I'm looking for 330 usd plus shipping, which is what I paid for him.

If you're interested please message me, I'm getting kinda desperate to rehome him, but I'd like to avoid posting him on Ebay in fear he'll just become a valuable collective to someone and won't be loved

[the-wild-collective]

Wanted to update that this guy has been traded!

Also idk what headmate made this post but that is not George, it's Spencer, and I'm embarrassed by their lack of Douglas knowledge /lh

I'm soooo excited for this trade, we're getting 9 kohairs!!! We traded 2 other retired dogs as well, but it was so worth it! Now to come up with 9 new names XD

Think I'm gonna start posting on TikTok again

Not any ESSA/DSSA/SSD/Comfort Dog content, I'd prefer to stay out of the drama in the TikTok ESSA community. But I'd like to post about my Douglas plushie collection since I have so many to share

Would anyone be interested in me linking my tiktok once I start posting?

I fear The Struggle is causing old headmates to re-split, so lots of our progress as a system has been lost...

But hey I have 6 new stuffies coming in the mail so who gives a fuck :D

[the-wild-collective]

When you're desperate to buy a plush from someone but they haven't responded to you

But someone else comments on their post after you and THEY RESPOND RIGHT AWAY

Please? I have the money, I want the baby ;v;

Bit of a heavier journal type post - TW for talk of mental health

I think for the first time, I, as an alter, am really starting to grasp our life.

I hear the words come out of our mouth. BPD, DID, Autism, ADHD, Fibromyalgia, C-PTSD, Anxiety. All things we have. But I guess I never really got what they meant.

I've always been a bit harsh with myself. "Why do you always buy new stuffed animals? We have dozens!" "Why can't you just do what every other human in the world does and cope?" "What's wrong with me?"

Just this week did I start to realize it. it feels kind of like a slap in the face. We're disabled. We truly, really are, disabled, and unable to live like other people.

It's like I've woken up from a foggy dream and been placed into a hellish terrifying, yet clear nightmare. I'd say I'm equal parts terrified and grateful.

Terrified this is my life, a life that isn't even technically mine. That I'm a fragment of a broken child. Terrified that I'll never have the means to care for myself. That I'll never know where we'll end up who will take care of us. Terrified I'll never get any better and everything will go downhill from here.

And grateful. So grateful to see it now, so I can try to get better. Grateful to not be doing this alone. To have my alters and our parents here to care for us. Grateful that I at least know what's wrong so I can try to fix it.

I'm hoping maybe I'll be kinder to myself in the future. Kinder about my weird behaviours. Kinder about my trauma affecting me. Kinder about when buying a stuffed animal feels like the only thing keeping me here.

I feel sort of dazed right now, but I think that will clear up. I don't know why I wanted to share this, maybe I just wanted to write it down. Or maybe I'm hoping someone else who needs to be kinder to themself will see this.

Sitting with my new stuffed service dog and new dssa while my mom does stuff (for her privacy I don't want to discuss what, but basically she's talking to my brother about things going on rn)

I feel so gross, but they make me feel better. Their names are Harlow and Oatmeal and they are twins, I got them off of Poshmark. I don't have photos rn but they're this FAO schwarz puppy

They're so big and fluffy, around the size of the Douglas Smoke Wolf. I think I'm gonna get them a custom service dog vest to share. It'll be expensive but I could use a pick me up right now. Lot's of flashbacks and switches today, and now this discussion between my mom and brother. Just makes me glad to have my support plush

I fear I'm beginning to like webkinz quite a bit-

I can't afford a collection, my Douglas collection was expensive enough, but I might get one special one? My cousin had Webkinz growing up, and she promised them to me when she out grew them (she was older), but then she gave them away. So having one would be pretty special. I do have the german shepherd but maybe she needs a friend.

I know some of them are pretty pricey, and I was planning to trade a bundle of some of my Douglas dogs for a retired dog. But maybe I'll try trading for a webkinz instead?

idk yet

CHAT I'm getting fucking GRAVY the Douglas dog!!!! /pos

Someone in a facebook group was so kind and ordered her for us, and they're gonna send her to us!!! ofc we paid for everything, but we're so so grateful, as the number 1 Douglas border collie fan we ofc NEEDED Gravy! Not sure if I'm gonna rename her yet, as Gravy is a really cute name honestly. But I'm so happy ahhhhh

For those who have no clue what I'm yapping about, Gravy is an exclusive Douglas Dog that you can only get on this one ski resort website, which won't ship outside of the US. She's a brown border collie based on a real dog at the resort, I believe! Her photo and the website name are below :>

CHAT the person who's gonna send her to me got her in the mail!!! So now she gonna repack her and ship her out to us!!!! I'm assuming she'll come within the next week, maybe 2 weeks tho. I'm so excited I already picked her gear color, it's gonna be pink :3 Which sounds classic but I actually don't have a single ESSA that wears pink?? I mean Kona has a pink collar but her vest is green, so it doesn't count lol

[the-wild-collective]

Ok Gravy is supposed to come tomorrow ahhhhh omg this is so exciting!!!!

Unfortunately we also get dental surgery tomorrow ;w; I'm terrified I hate being put to sleep, but I know we'll be ok and hopefully Gravy will be here waiting for us when we get home

I also ordered one last Border Collie Douglas off of Amazon, had to order from the American Amazon as they didn't have her on the Canadian one. This shall be our last Border Collie in the herd, we've named her Echo :> Also got a vest for Firework that I'm super excited for

THIS IS A REMINDER TO WASH YOUR PLUSHIES!!!

I didn’t washed Shiloh when I got him and I just did

HES SO MUCH SOFTER

PLEASE WASH YOUR PLUSHIES

[the-wild-collective]

Seconding this! Not only do they get softer, but often cleaner too! We've had some nasty second hand plushies, definitely don't want to be cuddling all that dirt >~<

Onyx (she/they)

[the-wild-collective]

Wanted show off my personal DSSA and ESSA, Uzi and N

As a murder drone kin and N fictionkin they bring me a lot of comfort. Uzi is also used as a cushion for my head when my neck hurts. I do plan on using her as support for my head during seizures, but I haven't gotten to test that out yet. N is mostly used as emotional support for my autism, but I do also use him to keep my hands warm as our body is allergic to the cold and our hands can swell pretty bad

I want to post better photos of the pups in gear and stuff, but because we post on our laptop it can be a pain to transfer the photos over from our phone. I'll try to get everyone to take photos on outings tho so we can post a bunch at once lol
