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.

MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) Pride Flag ”for people who have MPD (now called DID) and use this label or was diagnosed in the time DID was still called MPD. the label MPD can be reclaimed by anyone with DID who feels comfortable doing so.”

Psychegenic System Pride Flag “Psychegenic is an origin label for when a system is plural due to there being multiple souls in one body. This can evolve into other origins over time, like traumagenic or endogenic.“

Hey! Can I request an Isekaigenic pride flag? The meaning is a system with isekai origins, i.e. you die in your source and end up with roommates lol… any colors you feel are appropriate are fine! But I’d love if you incorporated a brown-ish-green in there!! Reminds me of home :)

Isekaigenic Pride Flag "Isekaigenic: a system origin, akin to dying in a source and ending up with headmates. (btw anon, can you private message me about more information about the term? i would like to make a pluralpedia.org page for it)

TransItems Pride Flags + Symbols "TransItems is a term for wanting/having items you currently do not headspacily/kokoro/bodily/etc. own." "Term made with plural members in mind but can be used by anyone."

im a traumagenic system, so telling me that "REAL traumagenic systems hate endogenic systems!!!" means literally nothing to me. funnily enough the folks this usually comes from have fakeclaimers in their DNI. hmm... anyways, endogenic systems have my full support and always will. its extremely entitled to say that you know exactly how the human brain works. you dont.

it/its, just call me therihare. im 18

polykin/polytherian, and alterhuman in many other ways. headmate in a system, currently acting as the host. the others wont be using this account, just me. i support endogenic systems fully

i on and off consider myself transspecies, im somewhere inbetween physically human and physically nonhuman

some folks in my system are male. do not interact with us if you have men dni in your bio

if you were blocked, i likely go against your DNI. check below for stuff i typically block for

please note that i will also sometimes block blogs that are irrelevant to me, such as source calling blogs. i may also block you if your blog is taking up a large amount of space in a certain tag, because i want to see different posts. sorry!

DNIs dont really work, but these are the kinds of folk i either block on the spot or avoid in general. DNIs go both ways, if i fit yours then block me so that we do not accidentally interact.

radqueers, those open/proud about having a non-consensual paraphilia and those who support or are "neutral" on contact in those paraphilias, those against 'contradictory queer labels' such as bi-lesbian/turigirl/etc, against endogenic systems. i block blogs that post irl nudity/sexual/suggestive content

KFF and those who use KFF language i will usually not block but i will be wary of interacting with you.

i support non-offending paraphiles with inherently non-consensual paraphilias [zoophiles, pedophiles, etc] finding safe ways to cope, and that it should be easier for anyone with these paraphilias to get help and therapy if needed. however, i do not want any "proud maps" or "proud zoos" etc to interact with my posts, regardless of if you support sexual abuse/assault/harassment. ESPECIALLY if you support those things.

physically disabled alterhumans, where are you at?

i feel like i rarely see any around, id love to be mutuals with other physically disabled folk!

too much to list. :-3

probably cats

anywhere cold and snowy!

night. quiet

changing my icon and having folks refer to me as such. also playing games where i can play as my 'type.

18

good question. is this about gear that i personally own, or gear in general? for gear i personally own, ill have to say my gloves. remind me of being a hare.

amethyst

whatever sounds best at the moment

mental shifts: yes, constant

phantom shifts: yes, rarely

species dysphoria: yes, occasionally

gear: yes

quads: no

yes, im poly...everything actually

yes

furry: yes

queer: definitely

neurodivergent: yes

pet regressor: no

questioning: identity is fluid. there are parts of myself that i havent yet discovered or confirmed

polytherian: yes!

polykin: yes!

otherhearted: yes!

fictionkin: yes!

yes, but not all

as in, not extinct? yes

my gender is sometimes influenced by my 'types, especially during strong shifts. my gender is always draconic regardless

all of the above

Otherkin/alterhuman/therian question game!

Let's talk about: Fakeclaiming and Internet

Even though we can agree that fakeclaiming is a big problem and a very prominent thing, more in the DID/OSDD community, we also have some mixed opinions about the topic, so hear me out

When you accepted being a system it's obvious that would be a really hard process, you still have to deal with the self doubt and denial and it's understandable that you don't want to be any close to things that can tell you that you're faking and aren't valid, understandable

We also had that moment in our internet life that we would get aggressive or defensive with people who fakeclaimed us or fakeclaimed other people/systems that we care about, we were so anti fakecalimers that we started to giving them our whole attention

Some things had to happen to us so we get out that fakeclaimers/anti-fakeclaimers places in the internet and, after a time away from that we just understood

Why give a shit?

Half if not all fakeclaimers are just trolls or attention seekers, they don't know what they're talking about and think they're better because of some moralist and superiority shit they have going on, giving them the attention and fight they want doesn't lead systems to stop being fakeclaimed, actually it encourages fakeclaimers to target more systems cause they're being an easy target and fun to mock

Ignoring them is the best way of making them stop

"But they fakeclaimed us/me"

So? Are you really gonna give a stranger on the internet the pleasure of being sad/mad or anything bad about it?

People on the internet rely on the anonymously of it thinking they won't have consequences, so obviously they'll use it to mock people, but it's your responsibility to let them play with you and give them entertainment or be mature and just block/ignore them, cause that's the best way to be sure they'll stop

Saying fakeclaiming is bad and you shouldn't do it won't stop fakeclaimers from do it, they're in all the internet and will target the ones who give them fun

We have another opinion related to the same topic, but we're probably save it for another post

One of my favorite things to see within the plural community is when some system use a different term for alters/headmantes, systems can get so creative when maken up things

We have seen parts, homies, familie, roommates, guys, and some random things that are so funny and interesting to see, and I think that's a great thing

Even though it's normal for systems use one of the two more common terms you don't have to stick with a term you and your systems don't feel comfortable, there's not a bad nor incorrect term when calling your system parts cause that's a you thing, and I think is awesome when a system is ok to using alternatives for themselves cause that can be helpful to recovering, even though it sounds stupid or nonsense

If you want to share with us how you call your alters besides that you can do it!! We'll gladly read with joy

And for the record, even though we call them alters online, with ourselves and a close group of friends and people we call them persmos, yeah, like our name hahahaha #PersmosRule

It’s weird to see others view fakeclaimers so harshly while simultaneously fakeclaiming systems whose plurality does not stem from trauma :/

Sincerely, a DID system whose cultural practices involve spiritual plurality. We exist hi hello.

To start, wow, just with like 3 real post without our intro and we already have our first attack-like thing, without counting the comment of and endo who already blocked us lmao, I feel important

Now, I could easily just ignore your comment cause you just want to tell me that I don't consider possibilities, I'm closed mind, I'm hypocrite, or something like that, don't you? And I get it, no one it's perfect and all that stuff that I know everyone have hear in their lives so I don't get to any point telling you all that

Ok so, if you read my two post carefully and with reading comprehension, thing that you didn't for what I see, you will see that I'm exclusively talking about the OSDDID community, the disordered plural community, I'm not talking about the system and plural community as a whole, thing that you're claiming I did, and I didn't. In any of my 3 posts and, more specifically, in the posts you're talking about I fakeclaimed other things like you say

And if you're gonna come at me and tell me "You're anti-endo, that's why you're fakeclaiming", well you're wrong, I'm not going to random endos and telling them they're fake, the exact definition of fakeclaiming, I'm not even interacting with endos, we say we're anti-endo so endos would leave us fucking alone cause we don't want them to interact with us

Our opinion about non-traumagenic plurality is so fucking extended and complex that we had to make another stand besides pro/neu/anti because it didn't even fit in one of those perspectives (Although for the instance of this three we use anti-endo cause it fits better regarding our opinion with most of the endos and get them away form us), but this isn't about that (Cause if you're even interested in that, you can wait till we do that post) this is about you that want to call us out because of that

Nowhere I was talking about endo fakeclaiming, just disordered fakeclaiming because our blog is about that, that's why we have a "Endo-DNI" in our description, cause we don't like them to interact with us, because many of them come to attack, harass, fakeclaim and many things to OSDDID and we don't want that

Like, if you even care that much about being "fakeclaimed by us" (thing that we didn't and we won't do, but probably you'll say we did) you would have blocked us like we say in the post, "fakeclaimers just want to mock you so ignore them and block them", but you didn't, instead you came here to give this complain about fakeclaiming and honestly made me laugh lmao

I don't know if you claim being a DID system because of cultural spiritual plurality, cause if that's the case you're right, I'll fakeclaim you, but if you're a DID system that apart of that is in spiritual cultural plurality I won't fakeclaim you, cause I know that's a thing and exists, so idk why you say "We exist hi hello" cause I know, I have been knowing before entering the OSDDID community, so I don't get the point of that final comment xD

Things like this make our point more valid, randoms in internet don't know about you, they're the first ones to make assumptions about you and attack/call you out for those, maybe this example is not in a fakeclaiming way as I explained in the post, but it's a good example of people mocking you for their assumptions and you have to react/respond mature enough, maybe for some people this isn't a mature respond but for us it is

So yeah, to conclude this I think is fair to say I don't care if randoms come to say things like this in our blog, cause they can't read correctly, and if you want to make assumptions is a you problem, but don't tell your assumptions so convinced like they're the truth cause you'll only embarrass yourself, and that's not funny, isn't it?

If you didn't block me and saw this post anon, you could send us another anon question in respond, or comment here if you want, and will read it, idk if we'll make a public answer but yeah

Let this post get as a future base to ignore and laugh about comments like this, and if you want to ask us or comment something in this post even if you're not anon do it freely, we assure you we'll read it... So for now, bye :)

Young Naruto has made the connection between unbearable pain and the appearance of guardian angels (read: ANBU) coming to the rescue. Sadly, they keep vanishing shortly after. Naruto is determined to make them appear more often. When pulling pranks and deliberately antagonizing the villagers becomes less and less effective, Naruto flings himself off the Hokage Monument — that seems to do the trick. Upon realizing what Naruto is doing, Kakashi facepalms so hard, he thinks he sees Obito with long hair.
