Hii I’ve recently discovered that we’re a system and was wondering what your favorite thing the person you like or your friend you mentioned has done for you!! I’m kind of scared to tell our friends but your blog gives us hope
hey! welcome to the community! one of the best things one of our friends have done to accommodate us is by doing their own research themselves! i am absolutely blessed to have them, haha. they have also made sure to respect our boundaries, including not interacting with particular alters such as littles due to our own hesitance, and other forms of assistance!
if you have supportive friends, it’s definitely great to tell them about it! we were apprehensive at first as well, but they ended up being one of our most supportive people. :) something i recommend is allowing them to ask questions and explaining the basics! and if they’ve already heard of systems before, especially from ‘cringe’ posters, make sure to re-educate them and point them to more informational places or sites to correct any misinformation.
of course, they won’t understand, at least at first, but the important thing is they are willing to learn and try and understand, even if they cannot at first.
🦴 - Is anyone in your system dating? If so, who is the strangest pair?
Yep! Only two as far as we’re aware, but they’re not exactly strange, especially since they were kind of in a situation ship in source.
💀 - Is there a particular source you have a lot of fictives from?
Oh, definitely. I stare at Slay the Princess in horror.
🪦 - Who has the strangest habits?
Well, we have one person, but I don’t think they’d like to share it so I’ll just go for the next weirdest one. Collecting insect corpses and random rocks.
⚰️ - Do you have any nonverbal headmates?
Yep! Involuntary and voluntarily!
🕷 - Who is the worst at masking?
The British one. Or the littles, but they mostly stay inside anyway so it’s not too big of a deal.
🕸 - How did your headmates get their names?
Depends on the alter, some find a name that feels right, some do extensive research to find something that matches them perfectly, some use a random name generator, some just come prepackaged.
☠️ - Do you have any headmates with colored hair,piercings, or tattoos?
Hm, off the top of my head, maybe two or three- but there’s probably more that I can’t think of.
🔪 - How consistent are you with logging switches?
Ooh, we’re really bad at this. We try our best, but when you can’t remember things and not all of your members are even aware you have simply plural, it gets a little tough.
🧿 - Is there anyone who spends most of their time in front complaining?
Uhh, yep. We have a few emotion holders who do that- also some persecutors, littles, it varies. Nobody in specific.
🎃 - Is there anything specific you do to help introjects feel more comfortable?
Allowing them to state clear boundaries, get things that are comforting to them that are from source, or allowing them to branch out if they prefer not to identify as their source! Whatever they need, for the most part.
👻 - How did you discover your plurality/systemhood?
We frankly do not remember very well, but one day they just. Appeared. We passed them off as imaginary friends. We were not imaginary friends.
🩸 - Is there anyone who absolutely hates their source?
No one who absolutely despises it, but there are definitely a few who don’t like to be associated with their source.
🦇 - Are there any songs that you associate with systemhood/plurality or your system as a whole?
Not really!
🐈⬛- Is there anyone who identifies as otherkin/therian?
Yep! We have a few guys in there, love those guys. They embrace themselves and don’t give a shit about what others think! They’re really great and sweet.
🔮 - How does your system determine who handles certain tasks/responsibilities?
it sort of plays out naturally- or higher ups decide, well, something like that. I’m not certain if there’s like anything specifically but generally they show up just knowing? Or they just end up settling into the role.
🧟♂️ - Who is the most outwardly intimating? Are they viewed the same way within the system?
Outwardly intimidating… probably nicole because of just how confident and blunt they are? they’re less intimidating insys but, yeah, still not the easiest to talk to.
🕯- Do your system's littles use "Baby Talk"?
It depends on the little. For the most part, no. Especially during text- any quirks are mainly voice-related when internally speaking, and those are unintentional and not too obvious.
⛓️ - Funniest quote out of context
“bros magical girl energy confuses me” - some guy in our head
⬛ - Is there anyone who has a unique/ non-traditional role?
Plenty, plenty. But you know, alters are unique to your experiences. But I suppose compared to the typical archetypes and such, definitely, yes.
🪳 - How do you visualize your headmates? (Drawing them,picrew,etc)
Typically through picrews, for Introjects fanart. Some guys want to draw, but it’s not typical.

this. this this this this. i point and scream THIS THIS THIS. WE CAN COPE FINE WE DONT NEED A BAJILLION PEOPLE TO DO ONE SIMPLE TASK (apparently we cant do a simple task without breaking down so we have to have fifteen people do it instead. FUCK EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION.)
We love our system. We love our headmates. We aren't upset about getting new guys! What we ARE upset about, however, is our brain deciding the method of running pk;m new 6 times in 2 days is much more efficient than remembering to even make an attempt at anything else.
figuring out that the trauma holders weren’t lying to you when you discover physical evidence of the trauma occurring……… like bitch i thought you were saying that shit for shits and giggles?
Syscourse is so stupid just leave other people the fuck alone and mind your own business.

I can't find the original post that inspire this but it doesn't mater if you view trauma as not bad enough to justify having a system
Stfu rn
trauma is trauma, and trauma is valid

shoots you back with even more cheese… the universal cheesus.. -anon
you know the switching is crazy when you go from paranoid about dying and being extremely depressed and unable to get out of your bed to being extremely restless and motivated and just. hungry.
People often tell me that they feel they're disrespectful when they ask questions about systems and I'm like
ITS BETTER TO ASK A QUESTION THAN BE IGNORANT FOREVER IF IM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SOMETHING I'MMA JUST TELL YOU
(they/them)disordered systemi don't care what you label yourself as, it's not my business. just keep the fucking discourse off this blog.
