comfort characters should be normalized. not the whole "oh i love this character, i watch the show just to see them because they bring me comfort!" thing, cuz i think thats already normalized
comfort characters that you can imagine soothing you to sleep should be normalized. imo i lovee imagining my comfort character next to me as i walk to school, or as i fall asleep. i imagine them telling me that everything will be alright.
i think carrying your cc around in your headspace should be normalized. i like it when a character i like comments on things i do in real life. i like talking to them in my head.
PRETENDING YOUR BLORBO IS REAL AND INTERACTING WITH THEM SHOULD BE SOMETHING MORE PEOPLE DO!!! trust me, it is SO FUN!!!!!!
Maybe we shouldn't be telling people to end themselves, actually. I don't care if you're pro endo, anti endo, endo neutral, say you're endogenic in origin, willogenic, anything. No one should be telling anyone to end their lives.
Being a system is seeing something liked and having 0 memory of ever seeing it.
when ur sysmates are watching your daydreams in the background and you finally notice them;
headspace when i accidentally type “my sustem” instead of system

Pro tip for what may be a very niche audience of systems with mid level internal communication: if you can only internally communicate when trying to do so and you rarely or never hear surprising, random comments from other headmates that some other systems talk about, that is in fact normal. Internal communication is something that almost always takes time and practice to get better at, so it's not unusual for a system to have difficulty hearing each other and need to actively try to talk to each other to achieve internal communication. Hell, there's a reason that learning internal communication is a part of treatment for systems seeking medical support – because it can be difficult and it's unlikely that you've mastered it right off the bat!
Not hearing your headmates most of the time is okay. Needing to focus on talking to a headmate to internally communicate is okay. If you rarely or never get surprised by someone internally talking to you, that probably just means your internal communication has some barriers, difficulties, or quirks that other systems do not have. That does not mean you're faking; that does not mean you're less of a system. Don't fool yourself otherwise just because you see other systems getting caught off-guard by their headmates talking to them, or overhear each other talking while they're focused on something else, or anything else. They are not you, and your system is going to be different from their system. It's okay if your internal communication is different from other systems.
Tl;dr: Don't trap yourself in self-doubt if your system doesn't have perfect internal communication (including if you have internal communication that's "good enough" for your system but lacks in some areas). Internal communication (and communication skill) varies from system to system, and you don't have to have flawless communication to be a real system.
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.
do you ever feel like you're faking but in a 'this feels forced'/'these people are too unrealistic' way? e.g, you have a headmate who can speak a different language, but can't translate said language to you when asked? or because your brain is so exhausted from dissociating constantly, headmates personalities start to get weird and fuzzy and they say stuff they'd never do (to me, it feels like they're melting back into a singlet because my brain can't hold their personalities together)?
I love you spiritual systems that are also psychological
I love you walk-ins of any kind
I love you soulbonds and charabonds that get upset how they're displayed and treated by their source (ot waste writing term you use) fandom
I love you spiribonds (+ other walk-ins) who struggle to take care of a human body
I love you intrabonds
I love you exobonds
I love you walk-ins who have relationships with non-spirutual headmates
I love you walk-ins who get told your relationships aren't real because you're with a non-spiritual headmate (more directed to our system's walk-ins, but this goes for any out there)
I love you mixed origin systems with spiritual headmates
I love you mixed origins who have been told "you're either a spiritual system or you're not/you can't be both" (or have had thoughts of someone saying these things)
I love you systems/headmates that have spiritual practices and those who don't
I love you walk-ins who wish to see more people like you and get upset when you don't
I love you bondsystems
I love you cosmagenics
I love you gateway systems
I love you metaphysical systems
I love you psychgenic systems
I love you soulbased systems
I love you seelegenic systems
I love you all
Unconventional fictive culture is looking at your "brother" (not actually siblings, but we have that relationship and everyone knows us as siblings) and realizing you have some kind of Feelings for him. Despite not knowing exactly what those Feelings are other than "if anyone hurts you I will kill them" and thinking it would be nice to kiss and cuddle him, maybe...
...and immediately accepting that you can never talk about this to anyone, ever. At least not anyone external.

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.
