The Mythology System

Hey! We’re the Mythology System (prev. Milo System), and this is the blog for everyone to talk about whatever—within reason. Mostly system and nd related stuff, though. Feel free to chill and scroll through our blog! The hosts are Izzy and Tommy :]

Alter Intros!

Done by Izzy and Tommy (with help from Nora) bc we’re tired and felt like it (/j /npa). This’ll just be the alters who are active in the main part of the headspace, we might do a more comprehensive list in the future but we have executive dysfunction and 40+ alters so you never know! (/lh)

Izzy/Moss — They/she/xe, age slider but mainly around the body’s age, was the main host but is now cohost (is also the one everyone masks as). One of the main ppl in charge of the blog :]

Tommy — They/Them but rlly unsure of pronouns rn, ageless but appears around 15-17, is a fictive and co-host. Also helps w/ the blog

Tia — Genderfluid, any pronouns but preferences change, 16/17, Primary Potector. Izzy’s older sibling, and is dating Ruby and Nora!

Ruby — She/her, 16, Anxiety holder and social alter (idk how she pulls it off lol). Dating Tia and Nora!

Nora — She/They, late teens, gatekeeper. You know the drill haha, they’re dating Ruby and Tia.

Jackson — He/Him, 19, Protector. Very much Texan, his accent is the bane of my existence /j

Danny — He/Him, 20, Protector and memory holder. Pretty sure he’s dating Jackson??

Sasha — She/her, Early 20’s, Protector and the one who holds the braincell in maths (/hj)

Laura — She/Her, 26 (ish), Protector and Memory Holder

Wilbur — He/him, 24, Anxiety holder (mainly for medical things) and Protector. British. (/t /npa)

Techno — They/He/It, Idk how old they are (Literally just asked and it went “Huh. That’s a good question.” So y’know–), Protector and Emotional Regulator. On of, if not the, newest alter.

Rania/Renya — She/They, 16-ish, Soother. Pronounced Ran-yah btw lol

Grace — She/Her (she/her club woo /j /lh), 17, unknown role.

Fae — They/Them, ageless, Emotional protector and nonverbal nonhuman alter. They’re cool!

Sally — She/Her, 27, Caretaker. (Also part of the British gang lol -Tommy)

Nature — She/They, Ageless but appears late 20’s, also a Caretaker! And nonhuman.

Littles — We won’t go into the specifics of our littles, might occasionally mention them by name or let them post on the tumblr (with supervision) but nothing more than that. Their ages range from toddler to tween and their roles vary, but we absolutely adore them all and want no harm to come to any of them. Actually have a fair few littles, including age sliders, and they’re all mainly looked after by Sally and Nature with a few other’s help :]

Apps that I recommend for systems

Sup, so heres a list of 3 apps that I use to help cope with my DID/OSDD. Some of these are pretty obvious but some system might not know about them.

1. Simply plural

Simply plural is pacifically for DID/OSDD system. In the app you can make different head mate profiles.

You can set up polls for headmates to decide on stuff, see your front history and how many times you’ve recorded a certain headmate fronting, you can friend other systems and signets so you can see there systems, and much more.

It’s constantly getting new updates. I’ve had it for about 4 months or something, it’s really helped me to keep track of our headmates and fronting.

It’s not good for communication between headmates but it’s still good.

2. Notion

Notion is not an app for DID/OSDD.

I use it to make longer and more in-depth bios for our headmates. You can actually make that shit pretty and stuff.

It does need Wi-fi to work and it’s sometimes like really glitching, but I think it’s worth it.

3. Antar

Antar is not meant for DID/OSDD but it can definitely be used as one.

The app lets you make different profiles for your headmates, and create different chats for them to talk in.

We’ve been using it for more then a month now and it’s proven to be very helpful. It helps us keep track of what’s going on in the system, and just makes communication much more easy for us. Its also encourages headmates to co-front/front, which is really good for us because the majority of headmates hate anything fronting.

The only down side of the app is that, you can lose profiles if those profiles hasn’t talked or been added to chats in awhile. The chats can also be edited no matter how long ago they were sent, this may not be a problem for some system, but for us it is because some of our head mates think it’s funny to edit them.

*barges into your room* Hi, yes, guess what? It's okay to not know things about your system. It's okay to not know who's fronting, who you are currently, etc. It's normal to be blurry. It's okay to not have a headcount. It's okay to not know everything about your innerworld (if you have one!). It's okay to not know what someone looks like, their name, or how they identify.

This stuff is a process, you gotta remember that this is a disorder that's meant to be covert for survival. It's natural to not know things and anyone who says otherwise can piss off. You're doing great and with time things will get easier, promise!

Currently playing a game of:

-Is it a relapse in glandular fever?

-Is it anxiety?

-Am I burnt out?

-Is it low iron?

Or

-Is it chronic fatigue?

And idk what the answer is but I think I’m definitely absolutely loosing the game.

When you have one (1) cishet alter in your good, gay headspace

[starseers]

Love how when I don't do something a sys member wants they threaten to front and do it themselves and then get violently upset when I tell them to and they can't cause I'm front-stuck 24/7

Anyone know where you can buy/order rare Squishmallows for Australia? Bc I want a frog but I can’t find one anywhere :/

[themythologysystem]

Izzy said that we look like Adora if she was a Ranboo fan and I think that this is bullying /nm /hj

[themythologysystem]

Thinking about how one of our friends (who doesn’t know we’re a system) said that I seem like I’m from a different alternate reality each week, so occasionally she’ll bring up something that’s happened and I don’t remember it/only vaguely remember it, often with a different reaction to before, and y’know. That was something. /lh

But yeah in other news singlets are clueless and yet somehow can still be very validating, it’s lowkey funny to watch

[themythologysystem]

Me: Hey brain, I’m not coping too well with the current situation. Mind, y’know, getting rid of the unnecessary anxiety?

My Brain: Get rid of the extremely necessary anxiety?! Nah, I know what you need!

Me, tired: Yeah?

Brain: Another fictive, but this time with extreme source trauma!

Me: No. Please. Why would that help???

Brain, ignoring me: Ooh, ooh!! And I’m gonna make them the cohost!

Me: That… is the opposite of what I asked you to do.

Brain, wheeling away on heelies: You’re welcome!

Here’s another “stuff I wish I’d known about being a system three years ago” post:

🖤Everyone plays an important role and should be loved. Sounds corny but I had to put this in here cause it’s true.

🖤Don’t share anything about ur system unless ur sure all your alters are ok with it.

🖤Thinking you’re fake is literally part of the disorder, your brain wants to hide your system from you.

🖤Drugs and alcohol can have…interesting effects on you as a system, including having trauma hit you when you’re not equipped to handle it. I’m not trying to be ur mom but just be careful with it.

🖤Littles aren’t always literal children. They’re not always happy, or innocent.

🖤It’s ok to have fun and joke around with your headmates, it doesn’t mean you’re fake.

🖤It’s hard to find the right therapist and it might take you awhile. Therapists don’t know everything sometimes, and can say harmful shit.

🖤In-system dating and sex are totally ok, and can even be really healthy and healing.

🖤In-system communication is so fast and intimate it doesn’t feel like talking sometimes, sometimes it’s just another alter airdropping you a meme or a thought or feeling or image or quote or anything really. It’s all valid <3

🖤Your trauma was enough, I promise.

🖤System friends are essential and a huge part of coping. Idk why we felt guilty for seeking them out? But yeah system friends are really good.

🖤It’s not all trauma and pain. There’s successes and laughter and happy memories, too. It won’t always be like this. It’s not always a bad thing.

🖤Your alters aren’t just symptoms, they’re part of who you are. Every detail you learn about yourself(selves) is important.

🖤Self love is a beautiful thing. You are beautiful, actually.

🖤You fucking survived. Fuck, you’re awesome. You will recover, I swear.

My brain, randomly: Hey, you know that none of this is real right? You’re making this up. These people? Don’t exist. This life? Not—

Me, a veteran of putting up with my brain’s bullshit: Yeah, yeah, but can I still drink choccy milk? Yes? Then everything’s fine!
