Here’s my metaphor for systemhood that I tell my singlet friends.

Imagine you’re playing a first person video game. You have the controller, you control your character. It’s a normal first person game. You are an alter, the character is the body. This is fronting.

Other people live with you. Sometimes, they come into the room and sit and watch while you play. They sometimes try to guide you, give you advice on what to do next. They don’t always agree, and they can argue with each other. Other times they scream at you that you’re doing everything wrong and you suck at this game. This is co-consciousness.

Imagine how distracting it would be for people around you to tell you what to do, or to scream at each other or at you, even if they have good intentions. It wouldn’t be easy to focus on your game, would it?

Then sometimes, something happens in the game that prompts you to hand off the controller to someone else so they can play and you get a break. This is (some types of) switching. This can be good.

Other times, someone rips the controller out of your hand or fights you for it. This is (other types of) switching. And sometimes, six other players hook up their controllers, but there’s only one character to play as. So all of you have your controllers, but you’re all trying to play the same character. This is cofronting.

Imagine how difficult that would be. Imagine how hard it would be to try and play a game while someone is trying to take the controller from you, or while six other people are trying to play too.

There are also times that nobody is playing, or you can’t decide who should play. What’s happening to the character in the game? What are they doing if no one is playing? This is dissociation. The character is doing nothing. They’re stuck.

This is the best metaphor I have come up with for being a system. It’s something a lot of people get because they’ve played games before.

I'm curious, what best applies to you and your system/collative.

This is for committed relationships of any kind(so yes QPRs do count). If you've never been in a committed relationship but want to be, answer based off of the kind of relationship structure you would like to have. For polyam alters, and collectively polyam systems answer based off what feels most accurate. Also if your system has both out off system relationship(s) and in-system relationship(s), answer based off of the out of system relationship(s).

Here "collectively" is being use to refer to all or almost all of the system. "Some of us" would refer to around 25-75% of the system give or take. Base it off of how many of you there are, it's gonna be different for every system.

Some examples of what various relationship structures would correspond to below*.

In general vote for what's the closest even if it's not a perfect description.

Reblogs would be appreciated if you feel so inclined.

But singlets do not vote on this poll.

*Example one: The host of system A is voting on this poll, they in are a system of 6. Alter 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5, and 6. Alter 1 is dating a singlet. Alter 2 is dating an alter from system B. Alter 4 is dating 2 alters from system B. System A would vote for "Separate beings, some of us are in a relationship with those in another system". Because there are more separate relationship having to do with system members.

*Example two: Collative A is voting on this poll, they have 34 headmates. The many of the headmates are in relationships with various headmates for other systems. There are no more 4 separate relationships between Collative A's headmates and any given system. So they should choose "Separate beings, only one/a few of us is/are with those in another system". Because even though many of them are in relationships, not many of them are with the same system.

*Example three: Person A has parts, they aren't sure how many exactly, but they know they have at lest 8. 7 of the known 8 are in a queerplatonic relationship with a singlet. They would choose "We are parts of a whole, collectively in a relationship with a singlet". Even they have unknown parts, most of the known parts are in a a relationship with a singlet.

*Example four: A person in System C is voting on this poll, System C has 307 know people in it. Around half the people in System C are dating a singlet, some of the remaining people are dating alters from two different systems. They should choose "Separate beings, some of us are in a relationship with a singlet". Because there are more relationships involving the singlet.

But again you should just choose what feels most accurate. We are not you, and we can't say exactly what best describes your specific situation.

P.S sorry I couldn't put "multiple are applicable" and "it's complicated/other" there was no room.

Also if you're an ass on this post. I will delete your reply and block you.

Just a quick reminder that you are valid system. No matter what trauma you went through. No matter if you have DID, OSDD, or UDD. You are valid and no faceclaimer can EVER change that. What you went through was hard, even if you don't think it was that bad. You are a valid system. You are valid.

(my partner did this quite a few months ago but I'm trying to be on Tumblr more,, so)

As a system we've got, currently logged, around 270 alters but I'm still logging which might take the entire Christmas break.

So pick a number 1-270 and we'll spit out these super cool fun facts; name! age! source! role(s)! pronouns! 5 likes and 3 dislikes minimum! and if they'd like some friends.

Our simplyplural is teacupsyst but don't add us unless the alter says yay to friends.

(submit picked number via asks)

Serious post (TW: Fakeclaiming and ableism)

One thing that really upsets me about fakeclaimers is how they act towards introjects, but specifically like this:

FC: "Oh well a person shouldn't have a fictive from recent media, they should have like old kids media if fictives are really real. Where's the Dora the Explorer fictives?"

Sys: *Has a fictive from a kids show*

FC: "OMG LOOK AT THIS CRINGE LMAOO A FICTIVE OF DORA THE EXPLORER? THATS SO STUPID AND OBVIOUSLY FAKE LMAOOOO LOOK AT THIS FAKER KID RUINING DORA"

I see this way too much, saying people should have kids media introjects and then bashing them into the ground when they do. Fakeclaimers have to stop acting like they're doing this for real systems to be safe or whatever, they're just doing this because they're ableist assholes who don't even believe systems are real. Honestly idk why they bother acting like they care about truly disordered people. All they do is hurt them while thinking they're doing good for the world by... making fun of people? I can't wrap my brain around the logic tbh.

Research Opportunity

There is a research opportunity at https://did-research.org/participate for those who are 18+ body age. You need to be professionally diagnosed with DID, OSDD-1, dissociative PTSD, or C-PTSD and have a therapist who is willing to participate alongside.

Please read the specifics in the link above for their other requirements, timeline and description of what the study will look like.

From the website:

`If you are a patient and would like to participate in the study, we encourage you to forward this along to your therapist and talk about whether this study may be a good fit for you.`

Copy pasted this from a Discord announcement and posting it on main. Feel free to add on or correct!

Systems/plurals with fictives/fictional introjects;

Reblogs would be appreciated if you feel so inclined.

But singlets and systems without fictives/fictional introjects do not vote on this poll.

For us it's very uncomfortable for everyone to experience behind the scenes content for something we have alters from. It's actually one of the ways we check if we got an introject that we suspect is in the system. Because if the behind the scenes content is fine, probably no alter. However if it's viscerally uncomfortable, we probably need look in that.

We would probably be less likely to split introjects of media we've(mostly v) already watched/listened to behind the scenes content for. However we haven't really had opportunities to know, as we more often get folks from longer media. We don't touch behind the scenes stuff tell we've finished the media, and by then if we were going to get someone from it we would have already.

#fictive #introject #system stuff #system poll #plural poll #plural system #fictives #introjects #actually plural #dissociative system #sysblr #system things #endo neutral #no syscourse #<-please #-v #this isn't a poll blog I just think they are fun and interesting

First post 🥳

First things first, system history and how we view our plurality

we discovered the system about 2 years ago but went back into denial after the chaos that ensued following our syscovery and starting of sysploration. Thanks to finding out about tulpamancy and giving it a try, we very slowly opened back up to the possibility of being a system. We rediscovered our plurality and have since greatly improved our relationship with each other and have started a genuine healing journey for the first time in our life.

We are an adaptive system and prefer not to use the term traumagenic, because we feel like our trauma was not bad enough, but that becoming a system was the only way to live life as a normal and functional person in our environment.

We view our plurality as something positive, something that helped us work around symptoms of all sorts of mental health issues. Something that protects and strengthens us.

An incomplete list of the people our sexual alter/protector (and one of the owners of this blog), Poet, has fucked (in our system or our partner system) but it gets gradually more absurd

- An extremely talented and dangerous gunslinger

- A batshit crazy master manipulator

- Someone who makes bombs

- A Demi-god (who is also his boyfriend)

- THE KING OF HELL

Kind of a ramble post, but we want somewhere to talk about stuff like this and it's system related so here works.

We want to get a tablet for our littles so bad. Something they can have their games and videos on and tumblr, because they want tumblr, but using multiple tumblrs on one device is not accessible to us (by this we mean mains). We don't want them to see things they don't want to see, but we only have one phone and one tablet and we all use both of them, which means we risk someone seeing something they don't want to. It's frustrating.
