The whole McLean Hospital situation has made us very upset and angry, and we weren't even any of the ones included in the videos.

For those who don't know, the McLean Hospital posted a video (that has now been taken down due to backlash presumably) titled "Social Media and the Rise of Self Diagnosing Dissociative Identity Disorder" that claimed certain systems on tiktok as examples of fake systems, without contacting them at all or asking permission to use their videos. The systems in question allegedly didn't have their usernames censored in the video either, to make matters worse. We haven't actually seen the video as we were late to getting to it, so we can't go into more detail than that.

But anyway.

Fakeclaiming systems over the internet when you can't possibly know if someone has DID or not is already bad enough, but now medical professionals are doing it? People who should know that you can't just know personal information like that without speaking to a person about their experiences. People who should know that people's diagnostic history is private information and you can't possibly guess what disorders a person has just by watching a few tiktoks they posted.

So I'm going to take this opportunity to say a few things.

Systems living their lives and being public about being a system does not make them a fake system. Systems being happy despite the difficulties their system may or may not cause does not make them a fake system. Systems being on tiktok does not make them a fake system. Systems advocating for themselves does not make them a fake system.

You can't tell who is or isn't a fake system just by what they post online, unless they outright say they're faking. You can't tell if a system is faking in general unless they say so. System experiences are so varied and different from each other that a lot of the time, no two systems are the same or function similarly. A lot of systems also don't always fit into clean-cut boxes and that does not make them fake.

Fakeclaiming sucks and hurts real systems more than it'd ever hurt the fakers.

Befriending A System - Info

What will this post be about? - This post is going to contain basics on common courtesy when interacting with a system. The information and text in this post will primarily be directed at singlets, but if you are a system looking for information feel free to use this as well!

Warnings - This post briefly discusses how traumagenic systems form and instances of ableism. Please be mindful

My friend just told me they're a system. What does that mean?

If this question applies to you, there may be a lot of emotions you're feeling, including fear, curiosity, frustration, and many others. All of these emotions are valid, learning something this big about someone can be very emotion-heavy! At the very basics, what it means to "be a system" is there are multiple people sharing one brain and body. You may have interacted with several of them without knowing, or only the host, or another option entirely. Either way, you now have information that you need to be mindful of.

Why it can be so scary to tell someone you're a system

If you don't already know what it means to be a system, you may not understand why it's such a difficult thing to bring up. Why can't these people just be open about who they are? One of the most common types of system is "traumagenic", meaning they have likely undergone severe and/or repetitive trauma to create the system they now exist as. This is a very, very sensitive topic for many people, and telling someone that you have trauma can be terrifying. Many systems also experience ableism, from things like fakeclaiming (implying or saying you believe someone is faking being a system) to outright violence. It becomes necessary at a point to be good at hiding your system, and letting down that mask is a big deal for many systems.

Common questions and what to do about them

Questions about people's trauma: Don't. Just don't ask. You may be curious, but it isn't within your right to know the details of what someone has gone through, no matter how close a friend they may be. If you learn someone's trauma, be gentle, and let them share at their own pace. Don't force them to open up any more than they want to.

Questions about headmates: This one depends on the system. Many systems are completely comfortable talking about their headmates, but many are not. The best course of action with questions about headmates is to simply ask the person how they feel about these kind of questions, and act accordingly.

Questions about triggers: Knowing triggers that you should be mindful of can be very helpful information to have, but keep in mind not everyone will feel comfortable sharing those. If you ask and your friend says no, do not press the matter. It should go without saying that if you do learn someone's triggers, never use them against the person, be respectful.

Questions about the system or person's experience: This is another question that depends on the individual. Your best bet is to simply ask your friend what kind of questions they're comfortable with, and move forward according to what they say.

How relationships may work with headmates

This experience can vary greatly between systems, so it is almost impossible to find an info post that is 100% accurate unless it is made by the person in question. You may have questions, and it may feel awkward or uncomfortable when you meet a new headmate for the first time, but please remember they likely are feeling the same way. Don't treat them like they're unusual or something to be scared of, just be a normal person about it. Treat them with the same respect you'd treat anyone. Relationships (platonic, romantic, queerplatonic and otherwise) can vary greatly between you and individual headmates, and it's important to remember different boundaries that people may have. It's possible to become romantically involved with one or several headmates in a system, but not everyone, and in this situation boundaries are incredibly important. Overall, it's best to go in with an open mind, and just ask questions. The worst you can be told is "no".

What is a "trigger" in a system context?

Beyond the traditional meaning of a trigger that you may know, there are some additional meanings or types of triggers you should be aware of when it comes to systems.

Front Triggers: Front triggers can be either positive or negative. Essentially, this just refers to something (a song, a person, a word, a topic, etc.) that is more likely to pull specific headmates towards the front. Some individuals may educate you on certain members' front triggers, but this is not a go-ahead to use them whenever. Speak to the individual about when it may be appropriate to do so, but generally it is considered in poor taste to attempt to use this information without explicit permission.

How to approach boundaries

Boundaries are very much a case-by-case basis. The most important thing is to maintain healthy and open communication. Remember, you're allowed to set boundaries too. It can be stressful, learning these things, and if you need to take it slow or step back at any point for your own well-being you aren't in the wrong for doing so. It's incredibly important to make sure you're taking care of your own wellbeing first, because even if you want to be the best support you can, you won't be supporting anyone if you can't support yourself. The best thing to do is just ask. Open a conversation about boundaries, what are things both of you can do to make each other more comfortable with the relationship? Communication can be hard, but so so worth it.

I think someone I know is a system: What do I do?

A good rule of thumb: Don't say anything. Usually, if someone hasn't said anything, they either aren't ready to share the information with you or they don't know themselves. For both of these cases, there's reasons why it's usually bad to bring it up as an outside point of view. If the person hasn't told you yet, they likely have a good reason. This isn't to say you're a bad person, or that you've made them uncomfortable, sometimes people just aren't ready to share something like that. If you ask them and this is the case, it puts them in a very, very awkward situation, where they have to choose between telling the truth and opening up about something they've likely had no time to prepare to do, or outright lying to you.

For the other case, in which the person doesn't know, it can be very harmful to call attention to it if you aren't a part of their medical or mental health care team. Systems are frequently covert for a reason, in many cases it is not safe for them to be aware of it if they aren't already, and if they become aware of the system earlier than they're "supposed" to, it can create more difficulties.

There are exceptions to these, however. If this individual is displaying actions, signs, or symptoms that are directly harmful to you, the individual, or others, it may become necessary to make them aware of it. If this happens, please do so gently. If the person is unintentionally harming others, they don't realize it and likely don't mean to be doing so. Be gentle when you make them aware of it, don't go in slinging accusations or assumptions. Talk to them like a human.

End of post thoughts:

The best thing to do in this situation is just be kind and respectful. Don't "other" your friend for this, and just be a normal human about it. Most people will not get upset with you for asking questions out of genuine curiosity, as long as you're respectful about it. As always, this information can be a good starting point but is, by no means, a rulebook. Situations change and are different for everyone, so just ask questions and use this information as you see fit. Thank you for reading!

Coʊst (pronounced "coast"; phonetically combines "core" and "host")

An alter who is a host, but doesn't fully identify with the term "host" due to complexities of having the original's memories and a strong connection to the original's/the body's history, without being the original or a core.

We couldn't find a pre-existing term, so we made one ourselves to describe Ace. If there's a term that already exists, please do let us know.

The flag is based on/inspired by/takes elements of the core flag (https://pluralpedia.org/w/Core) and host flag (https://pluralpedia.org/w/Host).

Anyone is allowed to use this, just don't involve us in syscourse. If you "have" to know, we are a traumagenic DID system, but again, ANYONE can use our term. Just, you know, credit us.

Edit : By "anyone" we mean any origin/diagnosis status/plurality type/syscourse side/ect

Hi :3

Can you make folder emojis for something like

About me / alter info

Important

And system info please ?

Thank you have a wonderful day!

[IDs: The first image is a drawing of a blue hollow folder, inside of which is an orange person with a red rectangle in front of them. The second image is a drawing of a blue hollow folder, inside of which are two orange people with a red rectangle in front of them. The third image is a drawing of a blue hollow folder which has two red exclamation marks inside of it. The fourth image is a drawing of a blue hollow folder with the plural rings symbol in dark orange, in front of which is a red rectangle. End IDs]

Folders for 'about me', 'about us', 'important', and 'system info'! Hope these work!

We’ve decided to start using the term “system administrator” instead of host. This is a term we came up with the idea for because our “host” role kinda covers more than that. It essentially means that you’re:

A main fronter/front kinda often.

Able and trusted to make decisions for the system as a whole.

One of the people deemed the “owners” of the body, for lack of better phrasing.

I know some people use host to mean just that, but considering a large portion of people use host to mean either just a main fronter or sometimes even the original, we’ve decided to make our own term for our experiences.

So if you see us using that term, that’s what it means.

Copingbased

Copingbased refers to a system that's based in coping. This means that coping has affected the way the system exists, but is not necessarily an origin. You may find yourself getting introjects or find your system reflecting and or themed around something of which helps you cope. They could be coping the loss of someone, something, or coping from trauma, as long as it's some sort of coping, it counts.

Term and flag coined by The Platforms on June 23rd, 2023.

Some things we do to help improve communication and trust between headmates!

We have a private discord server with Pluralkit- the most important channels we have in it are the venting channel and the system-chatter channels, for, well, venting and talking to each other respectively

We also sometimes leave notecards or physical notes! Our disability affects our hands sometimes, so if writing by pencil is too difficult, sometimes a headmate will leave a notecard simply saying that they've left something in the notes app on our phone

Relating to the venting channel, we try not to read through other headmates vents and messages unless there's something specific we need or, for whatever reason, it's necessary. This includes vents in our private server, but also conversations between headmates and our friends! Even if we share all the memories (mostly), it still feels more correct to respect that privacy

This last point also applies to things like drawings- it's a bit harder to avoid seeing those sometimes, since we often have to flip or scroll past to get to a new page, but we do our best, especially if the headmate who made it seems to have wanted it more private (e.g. vent art)

We have another spot in our private server where we put links to important messages in servers! In a server with just a friend or two, we can ask that we pin the message, but this doesn't work as well in a bigger server where we may not even be out as plural, so we save message links!

Going along that vein, if something happens that headmates need to be aware of in detail for whatever reason, we keep a log in that server with screenshots and descriptions of situations, so we can properly remember and have a record of it even between headmates

Unless it is absolutely necessary (generally safety reasons), we don't force switches that people genuinely don't want. Sometimes we'll joke that we "forced someone out/in", but in actuality we never do that if the headmate isn't actually okay with it

We do our best to let headmates have things for just themselves, if they want- examples being Wil's glasses that he wears when fronting, Ran's mask (though we need to get them a new one), certain stuffed animals that they've taken a liking to, certain shows/games, etc

I'm sure there's other things that aren't coming to mind right now, but that's a lot of them! We're still learning, and we're lucky to have pretty good communication from the start, but these are all things that have helped a lot. If you'd like, share some of the things you do to help trust and communication in the reblogs/replies!

(Also, re: our private discord server, would anyone be interested in a post about what we have in there, why, and how it's helped?)

Meet The System!

Hello hello, we're a traumagenic DID (likely polyfrgamented) system named The Council.

We use plural they/it pronouns (unless individual ones are known), and are legally/bodily 21+.

We currently have 80+ alters, most of whom are not active here. Those who are typically use our main account/blog @thecouncilofidiots

Do not involve us in syscourse/system discourse.

-------------------------------------------------------

Chances are, if we seemingly randomly liked/followed you, it was for one of our alters using their side blog.

Side Blogs Include

@thecouncilsinsideblog -> Sin - NSFW (kink themes, sexual themes, no actual images) - MINORS DNI

@thecouncilacesideblog -> Ace - No Warnings

@thecouncilofsmols -> Littles - SFW ONLY - NSFW DNI

@thecouncilofcreatures -> Nonhumans - No Warnings

@thecouncillollisideblog -> Lolli - NSFW (gore imagery, horror themes, no actual human death images) - MINORS DNI

Honestly, in my opinion I think it’s really good for systems to use both we & I

It’s a really good exercise to help express that you all are a collective and individuals. And practice makes perfect! Sometimes things are blurry, sometimes you can’t tell who you are, but that’s all alright. You guys are still a collective at the end of the day, and still individual alters within it.

For example, “I’m Jace and I love reptile husbandry, we have three geckos at the time.”

Because we all own and care for the geckos, but Jace is the one mainly interested in the hobby.

I don’t think defaulting to one or the other makes you any more or less of a system. I just think it’s a healthy way of thinking about yourself and each other in general.

Endos / non-traumagenics please DNI
