new pinned post bc someone deleted our old one??

we're the galaxy system !! a dx'd DID system of ~75 members w/ two subsystems!

we're bodily 22 (march 6th) and use it/he collectively, use the name nixx or fox if unsure who is fronting!

frequent fronters are nixx (it/its) lucille (sie/hir) lucien (he/wolf) but there's others + sometimes we rb or post stuff for ppl not fronting for them to see later

a few facts about us:
- we're a digital artist! we take commissions here (link)
- we're dx'd with did, autism, epilepsy, and multiple other mental and physical disabilities. those are the 3 important ones for our online spaces.
- our special interests are geology and foxes
- hyperfixations are fortnite, stardew valley, birds, therianthropy/alterhumanity, and many other things!
- we have a lot of nonhuman system members and many of us identify as therians, otherkin, nonhuman, or alterhuman

we don't have a dni as we find them more harmful than good, we block freely and often as needed. however, here are some of our views:

we DO support:
- contradicting identities, contradictory pronouns, etc
- therians, otherkin, nonhumans, alterhumans, anifaux, etc
- age and pet regression
- mogai, liom, xenogenders, neopronouns, objectum, microlabels, etc
- other "weird" identities (furries, alt or punk subcultures, etc)

we do NOT support:
- proship/profic/comship/etc
- pedos/zoos/necros + other harmful paraphilia (including MAPS, pears, whatever you call yourself)
- anyone anti-the things we support, obviously
- we're pro-trans, mspec, acespec, arospec, nonbinary, microlabels, etc. if you're not supportive of any of those things we suggest you leave
- zionists, pro-israel, a trump supporter, republican, any of that stuff, fuck off

we WON'T share our opinion on:
- syscourse
- shipping discourse
- fandom drama (unless there is legitimate harm being done)
- religion as a whole
- any mental health discourse
- really anything we feel would cause more stress than good.

"Leave people and their personal beliefs alone if they don't harm anyone" also applies to narcissists/pwNPD who feel good about themselves in grandiose ways btw. You don't need to "humble" them. You don't need to "reality check" them or "bring them down to earth" because they think and process the world in ways you don't like. You don't need to be an asshole to someone for how their brain works, especially when they're not actively treating you poorly due to it. (In fact, even in those cases, you could stand to show a little compassion, because pwNPD don't always realize when something they say is hurtful or comes off as rude; if you can understand this when someone is autistic, or when someone doesn't have any condition at all, you can understand it when someone has NPD.) If someone else's brain works differently than yours, that's not a reason to be a jerk to them, and it's not a reason to always treat everything in their lives with bad faith. Sorry not sorry, stop acting like someone who copes with rejection or rudeness by telling themselves that whoever hurt them doesn't deserve their time or energy with a side of "I'm actually a great person and way better than them" is personally attacking you. Stop acting like someone who takes care of their mental health through positive affirmation that you personally wouldn't find useful is kicking puppies. Narcissists don't need your "concern" when they're just living their lives. pwNPD don't need to be "made normal" or "corrected" for expressing themselves in ways that hurt fucking no one. A neurodivergent person having confidence and self-esteem is not a crime you need to discourage. Let disabled people love themselves in peace. Leave people and their personal beliefs alone if they don't harm anyone – including narcissists/pwNPD.

me doing normal human activities: is this allowed? is this allowed? am i allowed to do this? is this allowed? i don’t want to get in trouble can i do this is this allowed?

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

It's been said before but I'm saying it again: being mentally ill and very self aware of it is extremely annoying because it's like:

My Brain: You are worthless and everyone is making fun of you.

Me: Uhh, no? I just had an extremely minor, low stakes misunderstanding, and everyone was very cool about it. It's fine. No need to panic.

My Brain: [immediately dousing itself in cortisol] You don't get to decide that. Now I'm cancelling all of the dopamine and serotonin. You can just sit there and think about your unforgivable error.

Me: Wildly unnecessary, but ok I guess

[guy with the Cant Focus Disorder] why the fuck can't I focus

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.
