question 98: do you have any in-sys families? how do they form, if youre willing to share?

Roki got called "best dad" by someone when we shared how he was taking care of our little one. His response was "yeah fuck it, I'm this kid's dad now" and proceeded to adopt her (much to her delight).

question 103: if you could go back and talk to yourself/ves during or before your system discovery, or discovery of the plural community, what would you say?

"Yo bitch, look into soulbonding. Also, transition now not when 'your mental health gets better' cause that ain't happening."

We had a lot of experiences that we found weird and cool but didn't have words for at the time. We absolutely wouldn't have believed we had DID if that was put in our ear back then. Hell I don't think any other form of plurality would have been believable back then. We had already dismissed it cause our system doesn't look like how it's portrayed in media.

But we would have absolutely latched onto Soulbonding. We knew things about the setting that felt very different from inventing things about it. The characters acted in ways that surprised or confused us, which made sense after we learned more things. We were really good at roleplaying characters cause we could just "shit our brain off and let them talk".

Had we tried to just talk to them I'm pretty sure the floodgates would have opened and we would have had our syscovery over a decade earlier.

(Also if we're getting messages to our past selves we're totally going to try and skip those years detransitioning)

one reason we have seen of people being against willomancy, are comparisons to disability. "it's like choosing to be autistic"

regardless of what you believe, willomancers generally believe that plurality in of itself is not inherently a disability.

a complex dissociative disorder, yes. plurality can also be disabling for some.

however, although something like DID can cause plurality, it is a general belief among willomancers that the two are not one in the same.

so it's confusing to me when people say it's like making the choice to be disabled, because it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what the people they're talking about believe.

making the choice to be plural or to create a new headmate in general, is not the same thing to a willomancer, as somehow trying to get DID/OSDD/ect.

btw I do think that nonhumans with many types should probably research plurality, because I swear sometimes its just like God. you guys know that your types talking to you internally is more often than not a plural thing right. you know maybe there's a reason you have 98 flickering types that keep fading in and out quickly. you know that plurality is alterhumanity.

seriously I am not kidding about this. I cannot count the amount of times I've seen fictionkins posting about how they shift into their types and then don't really remember what happens during shifts and also that they speak with their types. baby I don't think fictotypes can talk to you I think you should look up 'fictive heavy system' on Tumblr

ok I think I dropped a bomb on everyone with this so just to clarify: this post is about specifically nonhumans who did not even consider that plurality is a valid alterhuman identity that they can identify as if they want to, and not just for the Real Scary Systems.

this post is not about nonhumans that did do the research but want to use different terminology or feel like different terms fit better. that is valid.

we are not trying to police identity, we are trying to normalize plurality as an identity. we were intentionally short with this post for that reason, because we are just kind of tired of pandering to the notion of plurality being the big scary alterhuman identity, but maybe we weren't clear with that so that's mostly on us

and we have gotten messages from people with sentient types, links and flickers that talk to them but don't want to be labelled as plural, which is an experience none of us even knew existed until now, and that is so cool! so remember that while you can always identify as plural if it fits, if it doesn't fit....you never have to.

I think one of the worst aspects of being plural is when you're put in a situation where you have to put aside another headmasters dreams.

For example it's difficult to pursue a career in criminology, to be a voice actor, a musician, a soldier and travel the world all at the same time to make everyone in the system happy.

Of course choosing an education, career and life style can be difficult for everyone but there's something so heartbreaking when you're aware that you have to put someone else's goals above others.

(I hope I was able to word that correctly)

Writing a system’s singletsona name in a Death Note but it doesn’t work and I realize I have to write down every individual headmate’s name to kill them off one by one because Death Notes are plural affirming like that

You know that game I mentioned here? Sentinels of the Multiverse? It's created by a company called Greater Than Games. We're saddened today that GTG is shutting down due to Trump's tariffs on China. Past versions of the game still exist and can be found ordered online for now for anyone who is interested in playing this great game, but there are unlikely to be reprints, and future expansions are effectively dead.

Conservatism is a disease, and American companies like these are dying because of it. This company is but one casualty.

I was looking for resources for children raised with parents with DID, since my mother is diagnosed with it and has been since she was 11.

I hated all of the links.

My trauma and unstable home life was not caused by my mother's DID and to blame her disorder is a cop out. asking for support for living with her alters, especially her Little alter who sometimes if felt I had to parent isn't demonizing, either.

DID is still very stigmatized that they blame the "chaos" strictly on it and it shows I am, again,an outlier.

Her DID and my own system is not "chaotic" nor did it contribute to why my childhood WAS chaotic and traumatic. Sure it wasn't EASY living with her and her alters but neither is really growing up with any parent with mental disorders.

Anti Endos DO NOT INTERACT.

Do you get it now? Without due process, everyone is at risk. How are you going to prove your citizenship otherwise?

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

If you kill a non venomous snake that's just silly and cruel and betrays a disgusting worldview of blind hatred and fear of other beings,

and if you kill a venomous snake that's VERY STUPID because trying to kill a venomous snake is the best way to get bitten by a venomous snake.

the last coral snake fatality in florida that I could find was due to the person who died trying to kill it, as a note

specs stop throwing snakes

I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED NOT TO THROW HIM BUT I WAS IN A HURRY

Weirdest day of that copperhead's life

If you tell someone to "look at me when I'm talking to you", I instantly assume you're a bully toward autistic people, because you are.

Unless they're actively focused on something else, you can't accurately assume someone isn't listening just because of where they're looking.

It's not a sign of "disrespect" to not make eye contact. And if you were taught that it is, unlearn it.

Hi! Sorry I didn't respond to your message. I got overwhelmed and my mind popped like an overloaded fuse and I turned back into a confused and disoriented 6 year old version of myself.

Blocking is fun! :)

Just a little reminder that being a soulbonder and somehow anti-endogenic at the same time is ridiculous. This is something we've encountered a few times now and it makes literally no sense.

If you join a soulbonding community and get mad that there's endogenic plurals there, maybe read what's on the tin before you open it. Not all soulbonders consider themselves plural (valid and real experience), and some might feel closer to the traumagenic label (also valid and real experience), sure, but... That's like reading a sign that says "dog park" and getting mad that there's dogs in there.

That's our space. If you're a soulbonder, you're experiencing something that many do describe as endogenic plurality. For a lot of em, it's even voluntary endogenic plurality. A type of being more than one entity in a body that doesn't originate from trauma. You don't have to describe it that way for yourself! But at least understand that you are a sibling to the endogenic plural community. You can't go around saying you can't be a system or more-than-one without trauma and that CDDs are the only way to be plural... and then be more-than-one without trauma yourself. Your community is included in the group you're claiming doesn't exist.

Addition: This also applies to tulpas and tulpamancers. Why are you anti endo? You're one of us. How are you gonna be anti endo but literally create someone to share your body with?
