🌱 — welcome to the forest . stay on the path , and don't get lost .

🌵 — commissions are open! find more info here.

☘️ — we are the whispertree collective. we are a fictive-heavy, traumagenic system. some of our more or less collective interests are art (mostly digital), writing, dungeons & dragons, and copious amounts of video games.

☘️ — some more specific interests of ours are monster prom. its a lot of monster prom. please talk to us about monster prom. our sideblog for monster prom mostly belongs to zoe at @zoe4ever

we also like other things, but those fluctuate too much to be put here without excessive upkeep. we're pretty vocal about the stuff we're into, you'll probably know.

☘️ — in terms of our system, i will not make a list because it would just be way too long. if our alters have posted or reblogged anything, it will be under a tag that's just their name, followed by post/repost, "#woods repost" for example.

our system, as mentioned previously, is very fictive heavy. especially from monster prom. we love to talk to people. pleeeeease talk to us. even if its silly. especially if it's silly. we're very silly.

we like to talk about our system, and we love being asked questions about it. we crave online interaction, i cannot stress this enough, please talk to us!

some tags we use include:

🌿 — #the archives for things we want to save.

🌿 — #whispers from the trees for other text posts (asks, reblogs with additions, etc all included).

🌿 — #tree carvings for system artwork.

we have a softer DNI, as we know that the average DNI does not work— we tend to block on a case-by-case basis, and would expect others to do the same if we violate their DNI. that being said, our DNI is as follows:

🌿 — non-traumagenic systems and people who support them. our stance is complicated, but we would rather not interact with those who are pro-endogenic.

🌿 — zionists/pro israel.

🌿 — proshippers/comshippers/"anti-anti"/darkshippers/etc. i am not pro-censorship in any capacity, mind you— but i do not want these people interacting with me, please.

🌿 — radqueer/transid.

🌿 — people against contradictory labels, and mogai/xenogenders.

🌿 — terfs/tirfs/trfs, people who dont believe in transandrophobia, "men dni" blogs.

this may be added to as needed.

🌱 — what's that light off the path ? it looks like a cabin ...

everyone u reblog is safe right? i feel like u reblog a lot of ppl and i just want to make sure ur vetting them all first,,,

Everybody I reblog from is evil and does crimes aplenty

[daysleftofsecondterm]

I refuse to “vet” anyone I reblog from- I will not learn the in-drama or out-drama, you cannot make me.

[erik-even-wordier]

When I reblog someone, I'm reblogging just that one post—I'm not endorsing everything they've ever posted. I haven't scrolled through their entire blog or looked at their DNI list if any.

It's entirely possible for a person to make one post that is thoughtful and inspiring, and then the very next thing they post is full of shit. Maybe you've even noticed that in things I've written.

Use your own judgment, according to your own needs of what is or is not safe for you.

[daysleftofsecondterm]

Hi, um, I know I was sassy about this earlier, but if I can just be real a second? If you agree with anon- or hell, if you ARE the anon here, do consider bringing this up to a doctor. Because the need for everyone you even reblog from to be “safe” is not a normal or sustainable compulsion. It is in fact usually a symptom. Anon doesn’t have the right to demand others comply with this symptom of course, but it could be that they simply assumed everyone else has this same need. They do not. Consider talking to someone about this, it’ll make you feel so much better.

I hate people who suddenly stop liking you when you guys start having different interests. Like did you seriously only tolerate me because we liked the same show? Are we deadass?? I'm still the same person.

This is so silly but I'm watching a short video essay on sincerity in cinema and the creator is talking about how he watched Lord of the Rings for the first time at 17. He explains that he'd grown so used to the 'ironic' meta style commentary in the movies of the 2010's that as he was watching the opening narration of LotR, he spent the entire time waiting for the joke to come. For someone to take it all back with a zinger line. He listened to Blanchett describe and explain the backstory, and he waited for the other comedic shoe to drop.

And he kept doing it. Scene after scene.

He spent the film expecting someone to make a joke about how unserious things were or to break the fourth wall or do some other self referential type thing.

Now, maybe I'm just at that point in my cycle or maybe I'm too delicate in general, but I literally teared up hearing that. Straight up cried a bit. It is so fucking sad that sincerity and genuineness is being bred out of people.

People say all the time 'this generation can't take anything seriously!' and really, is it any wonder? Younger people have been trained out of it. You are no longer encouraged to be genuine or show emotion or be honest. You are actively punished for it. In fact, you are almost guaranteed to suffer for it.

That is so fucked up. I'm sorry to go on a bit of a random ramble rant but it's so fucking gut wrenching to see younger people lose that element of themselves. You can't express your passion without being told you're 'crashing out' or 'cringe'. You have to live in this neutral state of fear of perception, and god forbid anybody step outside of it!

You're told you should only consume and succumb and be ironic and emotionless and cool.

Listen, if you're following me and you're like.... 25 or under, let's say. Please. I beg of you. Do not fall for this rhetoric. Please, for the love of all things, feel. Feel and create and be honest with yourself. Indulge in things that make you happy. Be sincere. Wear your heart on your sleeve. Do not let this hyper-capitalistic, hyper-consumerist, self-centred, individualist culture take that from you.

Bleed yourself into the work you create. Live. Don't fucking let anyone tell you different.

I have a friend of a friend that recently discovered they have DID. The other alters lack morals so said friend has to push them out of front constantly to make sure they don't hurt themselves or someone else. I do not have DID and am unsure how they can be helped. As a system do you have any advice?

hey anon. idk who you are, as is the point of anon, but seeing as i have a grand total of maybe four entire followers (/exaggerating) you must be in the god damn trenches.

our experience with persecutors is... unique, maybe? most of our active antagonizers are surrounded by people much stronger than them, and if they threatened bodily harm they were quickly "dealt with" in one way or another to preserve the body's safety, which our brain seems to treat like hosting a ship in among us cause it keeps ejecting our really harmful persecutors. the only lasting ones are Shin, who's only a danger to himself, one who doesn't want me to reveal her name yet, who has to be terribly triggered into being awful and impulsive, and... Mal, who was gone for a long time until maybe 12 hours ago, so what timing huh? mal's our most antagonistic persecutor by far, but literally today i got her to chill out and leave me alone by acknowledging it and helping it make a profile on pk.

alters are, at the end of the day, a product of a very very very troubled mind. im no spokesperson for did in any capacity, i know persecutors we've had to wrangle sharp objects away from, and persecutors that just happen to hold some less than savory emotions, tendencies, etc. its a wide label. grain of salt and all that.

so my very tentative advice, because this isnt a Whole lot of info, is to ask "yourself" (or your friend of a friend, if you know them like that) why these alters have formed in this way and what they seem to want. is it attention? validation? a punching bag, an outlet? if their goal is to harm the body, why is that? etc etc. everyone has a motive. even if these alters are barely-formed fragments who have scarcely any personality or otherwise except harm, there's almost always a reason for that. and if your friend of a friend has many of these extremely antagonistic alters, it can speak of many unresolved issues. some people think the only way they can be heard is to hurt.

again, all of this with a grain of salt, and power-of-friendship-ing is easier said than done lmao. if it can be done at all! i dont have extended experience with extremely harmful alters except for one outside of my system and i dont have much advice based on that either, and this message is vague as hell (not a bad thing) which makes my advice less specific. it's also 6 in the morning so my wording likely isn't the best its ever been. but maybe this will be helpful?

the natural lifespan of a fandom is unlimited. when well tended a fandom can be functionally immortal. and yet everywhere you look you see newly bred fandoms withering and dying when they’re barely a year old. barely even six months old. fans are looking at their six month old fandoms and saying i think it’s on its last legs, should i euthanise it? when with the proper care that fandom could outlive them for decades. it’s sad. sad state of affairs we’re in.
