CW Unreality:

Wanted to make a positivity post regarding some things that we see fake-claimed based on our experiences.

So shout out to systems who:

Are mostly fictives!

Can sometimes/frequently willingly switch!

Have low amnesia barriers!

Have little to no difference in how alters type/speak!

Aren't entirely sure about being a system!

Are certain in being a system!

Speak aloud more often then internally!

Have/had maladaptive daydreaming!

Split due to hyperfixations!

Have had alters fuse due to trauma!

Openly switch in public!

Split tons of headmates at once!

Have had some sort of communication since childhood!

Don't want to fuse!

Don't have access to their headspace memory!

Have triggers that pull alters OUT of front!

Believe your own experiences! If you feel like you might be plural, you probably are.

Kinda nonhuman because mental illness, kinda nonhuman because not being properly socialized as a kid, kinda nonhuman because queer, kinda nonhuman because angry at humanity, kinda nonhuman because longing for the unconditional love of a pet and it’s master, and kinda nonhuman because secret sixth thing.

Why not? I genuinely don’t see a reason why you cannot identify as a deer or transition into one (whether socially or physically)

I was looking for Otherkin videos on YouTube to avoid the drama of TikTok when I came across this video stating that “No, You Can’t Identify As A Deer (Trans-Species)” and all I can say is why not?

It is so close minded to believe that we simply do this for fun (I’m not invalidating funlinks).

A lot of us have species dysphoria and it’s a real struggle. We have to deal with people like you claiming that our identities that have existed longer than you’ve been alive are invalid.

I hate how the only way anti-kins can argue against transspecies individuals is by bringing up transgender individuals.

The prefix ‘trans’ is not specific to transgender experiences

-A trans transspecies individual

here's your daily reminder that no-one is entitled to any information about you, your system, or your system members; nor do you have to use any terms you don't want to no matter how popular they are ^-^

being plural is crazy because you do the most mundane shit and have a bunch of people making live commentary on it like they’re streamers making reaction content

May I present to the room the fictionflicker severity scale, designed based on past experiences:

Category 1: not even really quite a flicker, more like “a character I felt odd about” or maybe it was even just the source but who can say… It must have been the wind

Category 2: once it’s gone it’s gone and looking back on it now. I feel nothing. “A flicker I had”

Category 3 type A: one-time flicker that definitely had some lasting effect at least but revisiting the media gives a very diluted feeling, if any at all

Category 3 type B: one-time flicker that had like 0 impact on my life overall but revisiting would probably put me right back in where we left off

Category 4: recurring flicker, rewatching means reflickering, even if I haven’t touched the thing in years some things still manage to bring up old flicker feelings, we are now entering “one of my flickers” territory

Category 5: beyond level of recurring flicker, some mild background radiation level of brain presence is still consistent even outside of flickering them, this is “a fictotype I questioned” territory now

Category 6 type A: Oops! That’s You!

Category 6 type B: Oops! That’s Not You!

This silly plan of the Cambrian Crew,

This challenge to write rhymes, by a few

Of the boredest of us - Varyn and Shiloh,

To push the limits of where syscourse can go.

We can be clever, we can be kind,

We can disagree or be one in mind...

But can we say things in rhyme that are meaningful, wise?

It can't hurt to at least give it a few tries.

So this is our first test, and so we say, we see:

Whatever your kind of system, what caused you to be

Many in mind, not an I but a We...

We welcome you, see you, respect you, believe:

The intertwined lives that your systemmates weave

Is a beautiful, wonderful living tapestry.

Each thread of your life, whether bright or grim,

Is stronger for having been woven as Them.

when ur sysmates are watching your daydreams in the background and you finally notice them;

Sometimes, I wonder...

Sometimes, I wonder if anyone else in my life is plural, but too scared to tell anyone.

Sometimes, I wonder if anyone else in my life is plural, but they just don't have the language to describe it.

Sometimes, I wonder about my friends' "imaginary friends" who've taken on a life all their own.

Sometimes, I wonder about the folks who think in conversations, who have named each and every one of their emotions, each speaking with its own distinct voice.

Sometimes, I wonder about the people who stay up late at night crying, only to be comforted by a familiar voice from within, telling them not to give up.

Sometimes, I wonder about the beings with elaborate and sprawling internal worlds, where a thousand other beings they've known in their daydreams wait to welcome them home.

Sometimes, I wonder about the headmates, forced back to the subconscious, patiently waiting for their host to figure it all out.

Sometimes, I wish I could tell all of them.

Sometimes, I wish they all knew they weren't alone.

Sometimes, I wish they all knew how freeing it can be to embrace plurality.

Sometimes...

Sometimes, I wish they all knew that the future is plural.

I hope the future is plural...

We hope the future is plural.

People with psychotic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with personality disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with substance abuse disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with tic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with bipolar disorder are neurodivergent too.

People with dissociative disorders are neurodivergent too.

Neurodivergence isn’t just ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. (Plus those last two also get left out sometimes!) Neurodivergence is anything that affects your brain.

“Neurodivergent people hate loud noises” is actually just as valid as a statement as “neurodivergent people have delusions,” “neurodivergent people have tics,” or even “neurodivergent people have low empathy.”
