the nest @thenestsystem - Tumblr Blog

hi welcome to our blog

you can call us “nest” and use they/them collectively. we use we/us, i/me, and i&/me& interchangeably depending on who’s typing

this is a side blog

we like to draw comics about the funny side of system communication. obviously its not all fun and games but most of what we’ll post is humor

most of our comics are also exaggerated / changed slightly to fit better in comic format and to be funnier (its kind of hard to describe how our system communicates without using dialogue, since its often just vibes)

we do not have a dni, but will block freely. this blog is firmly not anti-endo. we literally could not care less what you do with your life, and we are supporters of people using the terms that allow them to better understand themselves.

#intro post #written by storm #will almost definitely be rewritten by green or blue at some point #but thats a them problem #also dont ask us about syscourse we could not care less #plural #plurality

the best part of being a fictive is going on spotify and finding the playlists that people have made for you

#it’s fun! seeing how other people perceive you/your canon version #and there almost always is some good ass music on there #even if it isn’t what i would actually put on my playlist #; rust #fictive #fictive things #plural humor #system humor #plurality #plural system #plural community #system things #system stuff #my condolences to fictives from smaller fandoms who don’t get as much of this btw

neurodivergent-plural-culture-is

nd plural culture is having a lot of introjects of a source so obscure ur probably the only system with introjects from this source

Neurodivergent plural culture is!

#oh huge mood #our poor poor team crafted introject #he’s existed since like 2012ish?#and don’t even get me started on who he’s specifically an introject of bc that’s even more obscure

sometimes we forget that we share more than just a physical body

#everyone meet rust he’s a dumbass #; green #his defense was ‘well i was talking about character me’#no he was not.#plural things #plurality #plural system #plural community #plural comic #actually plural #plural humor #pluralgang

internal communication is easier when you don't make everyone talk in words

#one of our teens communicates almost exclusively in memes when in co-con #and it’s the funniest thing ever #asks to front with ‘can i get a waffle. can i pleaaase get a waffle’#there’s also one specific wrestling meme #where one guy is standing ominously behind another who is laughing #and that image gets tossed around our brain at least once a day #because it is truly the experience of #when the person in front is knowingly making a decision that the people in co-con disagree with #; magenta

not pictured is the rest of the system going “hey i think we should talk about that actually”

#purple learned about subsystems recently and unironically reacted like this #plural comic #plural humor #plural things #plural system #; green #we honestly don’t really understand that much about subsystems #but sometimes purple is purple and sometimes he’s indigo #it just be like that sometimes #doin a lot of purple art recently but what can i say #he’s the best #also he’s funny as hell

Hashtag just no-headspace things

#closest thing we have to a headspace is #here (fronting)#behind (co-consciousness)#and back there (not close enough for co-con but can still feel them around)#sometimes people who are Back There can poke into co-con to make comments about front (looking at blue.) but generally they’re pretty quiet #sometimes the more imaginative of us like to imagine fronting as sitting at a folding table #and everything Behind is literally behind us #but in terms of a legitimate headspace #we got nothin #not sure why a folding table btw

TRAUMA HOLDER / MISGUIDED PROTECTOR

i am only a person in ways that relate to you i am what you are not i hold what you cannot i do what you cannot so listen to me. i want the best for you, too

based on something one of our protectors/trauma holders wrote about his experience in plurality

being one of the only brainmades in a system of fictives + introjects is so funny. today i am fronting with Ezra Bridger from hit show Star Wars Rebels, Grian* from Hermitcraft(+) and The Luminary* from Dragon Quest XI

(* means they don't go by that that's just their source :3)

#we’re a pretty solid mix of fictive and not but #today i was dealing with kasane teto; jason todd; and windwaker link #singing angel with a shotgun in the back of my head #so loudly. while i was trying to get work done.#and they Would Not Stop #; gray

very glad that we haven’t actually made a proper intro lineup yet since we have gained like 5 new people since starting this blog

#also the reason we haven’t been posting is because we have been Going Through It

the idea of headmates needing to be distinct is so pervasive. even in the plural community here, there feels like theres this unspoken expectation that being plural involves very distinct and discrete personality states. or at least that you should be able to make a pk that has all of your headmates. because all headmates should have a name and discrete identity apparently. i dont hate pk but it definitely reinforces that idea that systems need to be structured in a specific way

it leads to a lot of hurt. a lot of people fighting their brains to try to fit into a specific idea of plurality. or just deciding they cant be plural or that they arent plural enough

cookiethebirddoll

basically everyone i know who is plural can give some specific number of headmates they have and all their names. and like that's great if thats how it works for them. but i wonder how many of them are hurting themselves to categorize themselves like that

cookiethebirddoll

also like it's ok for the structure of your system to be unclear. its ok if you dont understand how it works. its ok if you dont even feel that system is the right word for it. theres so much diversity in how plurality presents itself and there is no such thing as not plural enough or whatever

#yeah #we put a lot of pressure on ourselves sometimes to be aware of who is on here and who is fronting #but like #sometimes we just don’t know #and thats alright

inside of you there are two wolves. one is the anger holder. the other is the fawning peacekeeper. they are co-fronting

#no one is happy about this #plurality #actually plural #plural things #plural system #plural community #; purple #fawn isn’t really the right word but it’s all we have #it’s less fawning and more ‘don’t do anything stupid to make them angrier’#like it’s just not worth it to me. no justice will change the fact that it will just make everyone unhappy #meanwhile magenta is 5 seconds away from physically fighting someone

people who make comics are fucked in the head. what is wrong with you

fluff-e-boy

#lmao yeah

being “the angry alter” is fucking annoying

#; magenta #no one likes being angry and yet here i am #entire fucking purpose in life is to be pissed #i hate it here

The first rule of plurality is to have fun and be yourself The second rule of plurality is to have fun and be someone else
