Hello! Welcome to our corner of the internet! Again! A take two of the intro post now that lil ol' me is back lol. This is mostly just going to be a blog for us to do ask games and yap, but art/comics will also be posted! We wanna be a comic blog... but the motivation to actually do comics is kinda rough lol.
Basic DNI, and don't bring syscourse in here please! We will just straight up ignore syscorse asks and delete syscourse comments <3
Comfortable being referred to in the singular and in the plural! Both are totally fine! Just please don't you& us, that's the only one that really makes us uncomfortable!
Feel free to send us whatever asks and generally chat with us, we'd love to talk! Doubles/source mates are also very welcome!
Other than that, here's our current roster! We'd do a drawn version but ah... we're tired okay? XD Ordered from oldest to newest! We don't really use system roles besides host! Peep below cut so this isn't super duper ultra long lol.
Additional side note: We're pro-alterhuman but do not consider ourselves alterhuman despite all being nonhuman! Will be so happy to talk non-human experiences with any of y'all but don't refer to any of the foxes as therians and such, we're just foxes :]
Art - Ex-Host - She/They - Light/Medium Grey - Species: Fox -
Very sweet and anxious! She was the first of us and while she still panics and tries to protect us pretty often, they're also enjoying 'retirement' a fair bit! She prefers using her Feral form over her Anthro one but can use both! Prefers feminine honorifics if any.
War - He/They/She - Red-Orange - Species: Fox -
If we were to use any roles outside of 'host', War would probably be the anger holder. He's the one who lashes out against people who hurt us and doesn't front very often unless it is to be extremely mad at someone. She has had very sweet interactions on the rare occasion they talk to someone for non-anger reasons! Likes both his feral and anthro form about equally, gained some visual traits from Nutmeg Tiger Cookie at some point. Also has a humanoid form but only used it once. Prefers masculine honorifics if any.
An absolute troll who generally likes floating around us and being playful/mischievous. Helps with masking and has a notable habit of making us smile a lot. Also has a noticeable sweet-tooth. Only ever in feral form, has never solo-fronted, only co-fronts. Prefers to not use any honorifics/be referred to as a creature/goblin/demon/malicious thing, ect.
It's me! I'm genuinely almost always fronting lol, usually the others only get, at most, a few hours at a time Karmyn and Ivlis are weirder cases. Can't really help it either. I'm usually a woman with a fox head, tail, and lower legs, but I can shapeshift! Even if I'm somehow not fronting for once, I'm usually co-fronting at the very least. Prefer feminine honorifics if you really wanna use em.
(^^^ May be a subsystem? The foxes don't seem to interact with anyone else unless I purposefully cause proximity)
The first new member not long after syscovery! It had literally been years since our last new member so he was a surprise, especially because he stole front for a whole day when he first showed up! Hasn't fronted since and doesn't even particularly like co-fronting but makes a good talking partner. Rustblood Troll specifically. Lionor's Moirail! Prefers masculine honorifics if any.
Doesn't really talk to anyone outside of Karmyn besides during our first meeting where he showed up at the same time as Tasque. Don't know much about him ngl. Has never fronted. Goldblood troll specifically. Karmyn's Moirail! Prefers masculine honorifics if any.
Showed up at the same time as Lionor getting berated by him! Overall pretty calm and happy, he's selectively mute but can be understood perfectly through gestures. Enjoys watching games or 'playing' games. Hasn't fronted but will usually curl up on my lap if he's come up to the void for game time, and eventually pass out. Tealblood troll specifically. Prefers masculine honorifics if any.
(^^^ none of the trolls are existing trolls! They're completely brain-made outside of their species)
Music Guy - ???
I'm convinced they'll show up again. They fronted for an entire day to help with vending where tf did they go.
Ivlis - Possible Co-Host? - He/Him/Hy/Hymn + may experiment with more - ...Still trying to figure out a color for him! - Species: Devil -
Introject of Ivlis from Okegom, none of us, him included, actually support the author! But do enjoy despite it... ehe... being sorta bad for our mental health. What can I say? Does not like any Buri related nicknames. Doesn't perfectly line up with his canon appearance but absolutely loves looking at art of himself anyways! Also seriously enjoys the color orange, fire, the sun, lemon brisk tea, and sunflowers! Does not want to interact with anyone who ships him with Satanick or Licorice. Is fine with fictives of those two interacting with hymn though if they act kind! Partially source separated but would still love to interact with sourcemates! Prefers honorifics that are both masculine and put hymn in a position of power, especially if divine, but will not get upset if you just call him "Mr". Divine honorifics just give him euphoria. <3
Pronoun breakdown for Ivlis:
He/Him/His/Himself
Hy/Hymn/Hys/Hymnself
And so on!
Shirogane - He/Him, considering more! - ...Dark Grey? Can we stop being Monochrome lately? X] - Species: Arctic + Coastal Wolf -
Introject of Shirogane from Okegom! Needs his pelt to shift forms like a selkie would unlike canon, working on putting down information here but more than happy to interact! Prefers male honorifics if you use them at all :]
Adding while fronting: Vislectpup/puppy don't call me it unless we're pretty close and I say it's okay! :D (I dunno if there's a flag for it or anything) Otherwise I prefer being called a wolf
Idate - He/Him - who the fuck knows anymore - Species: Orca/Killer Whale -
Introject of Idate from Okegom, I don't have much more to say for now <3 I'm just an orca on a stroll after all~ Probably the most canon-compliant visually heh < :)
Lowkey may be tied for "vaguely the oldest" with Ivlis lmao
Male honorifics or something I guess, but don't be afraid to call me an Orca or a Predator~ <3 I'll gladly accept those titles too
I get to have cool fucking orca flags though <3
Hiemsali (Lidan, Icecap + Ice) - Orca Species Flag - Orca☻ - Pred☻ - Orca↑ - Orca☄ - Orca✂ - Pred✂ - Vēnorsome - Algoriden - Arctic Ocean-Inhabiting - Preypredatorunive - Hunter - Preder - Predator - Predator🐛 - Orcasplatter - Enthusihuntic - Orca🐛
Because I'm not a coward I can and will keep stacking flags here~ And I'll get the flags for other folks too <3
Ehe... fourth introject... in one month... Tsumuri from Okegom/Poison Bugs, I'll add more as I figure myself out, pronouns explained below
He/Him/His/Himself as usual and then Earwig and Bug are unaltered no matter where they're being used ("Bug is out on a walk right now and earwig said he was picking up drinks for us")
being openly plural irl is kind of awesome. one of my friends noticed a specific stim one of us does and idk its kinda fuckin awesome to be Known. irl. its so nice. i love it here
Forced myself into the non-fronting innerworld much to my own massive fucking headache to check on the trolls. Atm all the structures that were already there still exist, and there's new ones for each of the new introjects. (Satanick and Ivlis have their own separate mansions, Idate, Shirogane, and Tsumuri have separate houses)
Checking on the trolls, Lionor and Karmyn were both asleep and cuddling together but in a very... "they're not going to be active for a long while" type way. I can't remember the word right now but I think they're inactive atm, but not absorbed. Tasque meanwhile I couldn't find period, his house had one more room than it did before but otherwise that's all I could find.
In other news, when it comes to the void/front space, all the Okegomlings are still here but spread out. Idate was chilling near me, Ivlis was alone and seemingly figured out how to make things within the headspace, opting to make sunflowers. And then Satanick, Shirogane, and Tsumuri were talking together while sitting down.
Also Ivlis no longer has that weird void face nor is he goopy! He looks canon now for some reason!
I ended up laying back down on Idate and opted to stop viewing the innerworld at all, because my headache was god awful and I can only run so many "programs" at once.
I think. When one of our friends is constantly pushing us to draw draw draw, they don't realize that we're so depressed we barely even care for our teeth even though we're scared of getting ones like our dad
His teeth rotted through with his poor dental hygiene + smoking, and when he got veneers on my mom's insurance before they divorced? He's now managed to rot through them again
I really physically and mentally cannot manage to do more than the bare minimum in so many aspects of our life, even something as easy as putting away laundry tends to sap hours of life away
And they just expect us to do stuff like... full scenes of multiple characters interacting with im a furnished environment with clean lines, coloring, shading, at the drop of a hat
you will not call others theyfabs or theymabs unless they label themselves that. You will not screencap people using bun/bunself and slap them in cringe comps. Do you understand?
[this is more advice than a "this-is" submission; feel free to ignore if it's not relevant]
we haven't done much research on littlehood (<- using as an umbrella term for regression, syskids, etc) because most of the community seems geared towards those with more stereotypically "childish" traits, behaviours, and interests. while we pride ourselves on being Mature For Our (bodily) Age; it's the one thing people like about us. which means that if we're little then we don't have any value to others.
so here are some generic questions:
how do we know if we're regressing or just overwhelmed/having a meltdown/expressing childlike whimsy/etc?
how do we start feeling less weird about it?
we do not readily have access to a caretaker figure — parents suck, siblings might be weird about it and live away from us, social workers have professional boundaries to maintain. is there some way we can take care of ourselves?
and a more specific one as a treat:
our host, when in a more vulnerable state, is cared for by other headmates. currently, her primary caretaker headmate is a factive of a famous TV guy around his 60s. is that a bad thing, morally speaking? if so, how do we make it stop? and if not, how do we get used to it?
first of all, advice asks are more than welcome here! feel free for you and anyone else to send in questions and advice asks :)
we can't speak to anyone else and if anyone else has answers to these questions, that would be appreciated, but for us, our little, other than having their own name and pronouns and identifying differently from the rest of us, finds that her emotions and sometimes but not always her thoughts become simpler, as well as the way she communicates her emotions. we don't actually know how to put a certain label on mental age or why we identify as we do, but those are some signs for us.
finding a supportive community can really help feeling less weird about it, as well as interacting with other littles, as it can help normalise it.
not all littles need caregivers, of course, but you could perhaps find people online, possibly in plural or agere spaces, who can do that. be very careful, though, and don't go into new relationships with the intention that they are going to become a caregiver, and don't bring it up until you're certain you trust them. some plural servers do i think have places for littles to seek out temporary caregivers, that might help. our little uses an in-sys caregiver occasionally, though he mostly helps her in headspace and not in front unless something's upset her. our little also messages one of our friends, who we're comfortable talking to as he also regresses and so knows what it's like, and he sometimes takes on a caregiver role for her.
in terms of taking care of yourselves without a caregiver, without knowing what you're like when regressed, but you could possibly write yourselves a guide for various things that you need or make a regression space for activities and things while you're regressed
morally speaking, it is not a bad thing to have anyone in a system, or of any age, or have them have any role. our little's caregiver is a fictive of someone else's oc from a youtube fanfiction series, that we semi-regularly talk to the creator and actor of. you most likely cannot control who you get, so having anyone in your system isn't a bad thing. and if they're helping, that's good! it can be difficult to get used to having people, especially factives, in your system, but they're people just like you are, and their existence isn't a bad thing, and they're not necessarily their source. they are a valuable part of your system.
