When You Try To Share A Silly Story From Your Past And They Look At You In Horror And Ask If Youre Okay

Psst btw letting you know tagging your posts with "Syscourse DNI" puts them into the syscourse tag itself because of how tumblr's tagging system works ^^'

thank you so much for informing me about this! i was completely unaware of this. ill be sure to refrain from using it, as I don’t want to attract that kind of crowd! :)

oh, so many.

the horrible memory, little recollection of anything more than a week ago, finding things we didn’t remember doing, the huge gender and sexual fluidity & dysmorphia, going from extremely anxious or depressed to calm, the internal dialogue and arguments, the intense fictionkinning and rapidly changing opinions. we mistook two alters for our left brain and right brain. plus more probably

question 95: do you think there were "signs" of your plurality before you officially discovered it (if that applies to you)? what were they, if you dont mind sharing?

Me just trying to have a normal day when the gay men in my head are getting down bad for each other.

Can yall stop for two seconds

can our soupy brain stop summoning people i don’t need more people in here

🦴 - 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.

Hey, you all doing okay?

Just figured I'd ask :)

- ✨️✏️

Yeah! We're doing great, thank you for asking! We told a friend (singlet) about our plurality recently and they took it really well, so we're in a great mood at the moment! Our birthday is also coming up, so lots of joyous occasions recently, lol.

ask a did sys questions!

obviously no overly personal questions (such as talking about trauma n such, in-depth information about alters, bodily information or anything of that sort that might put us at risk) but generally most things are fine.

hey! im opening up a q&a from a traumagenic did system to both singlets and systems of all origins! feel free to click the ‘send us giggles and shits’ button to submit a question! we’ll try our best to answer to the best of our ability. just this once, we are willing to discuss and share our opinions on controversial topics among the plural community, given it is a CIVILIZED discussion. however, if these conversations end up turning sour, this will be removed promptly.

tw: mentions of flashbacks and panic attacks

the flashback and panic attack combo right after is like stubbing your toe on a lego brick and then immediately tripping and face planting into a pool full of legos.

no. no. DONT TURN ME INTO ONE BRAINCE

plus we had the whole 'sorry future me', followed by the internal fuck you when we did something that might've not been the smart
