INTREXPERIFLUX

Yall I am not I coining blog please be kind

Derived from the terms Introject and Experience along with the suffix -flux

Intrexperiflux is a term to describe a member of a system who's experience fluctuates between being an introject of any kind (fiction, fact, oc, etc) to a non-headmate (kin, IRL, etc)

Because it is hard enough to label these members ("Do I put IRL or kin in their bot name or do I leave it as a system member?") I propose we call those who use this identity "intrexps" (singularly intrexp) and have that in their bot names or descriptions so people will know they are flunctuators

No bc seriously I'm sobbing trying to do this if anyone else wants to remake this and format it better please please please do- please reblog it with any tags I missed etc tysm

Flag made and term coined by me :)

Doodlemate

Synonyms: Animate, animated headmate, drawn headmate, drawing come to life

A word to refer to a headmate who is a living moving drawing and prefers to represent themselves as such in headspace and the shared world.

The difference between this and a soulbond with a piece of art, is that doodlemates do not have an "alternate universe" that they come from, they are a drawing existing only in this reality.

A doodlemate's source is the art they came from.

Your system may be more likely to have doodlemates if you are POSIC.

Some features of a doodlemate:

They could prefer to hang in picture frames in the innerworld or be visualised in their desired style

They may be physically flat and one dimensional compared to other headmates who are 3D.

They may prefer to not have any body at all and speak as a disembodied voice.

They may be very comfortable with being "just a drawing" and/or having a creator.

They may have periods of time where they go back to being static artwork.

They may use projection to move around on the page in the shared reality

Here's a picture of our resident doodlemate, Clover. -- enjoys being inanimate, using no pronouns, being a mascot, and being 2D/static in headspace.

Spiritive

Spiritive is a term not made by us, this flag is my own interpretation of the flag!

“A spiritive is an introject from a spiritual or religious source, like mythology and religious texts. They do not have to be of the faith the system practices, or perceived as the "true" person from the source.” - Pluralpedia

[ID: None yet]

Flags can be used by anyone technically, just please do not bring discourse into this.

Will repost on my coining blog.

New term: Migrator

This is a term that applies to members/headmates. This was coined with spiritual/gateway/similar experiences in mind, but if the definition of this term fits you and you do not use one of those labels, you can still use this term.

A migrator is a being/member that stays for a very short while, as in a couple days to a month at most. It’s as if they’re on a migratory journey and just stopping for a bit of rest

Do we ever think about how Gideon rejects Pyrrha's attention as a mother because it's a little late to come into her life and instead accepted John as a father? (even though she had some reasons to hate him)? sure, john gave her everything she wanted, but why is pyrrha different? I wish Pyrrha had a chance :((

I think the main difference is that Pyrrha did have a chance to do better by Gideon, and she fumbled it.

John gets dad status because he stepped up as her father as soon as he knew she existed. She knows he had his own blood-related reasons for launching a military expedition to recover her body, but it still must have meant a hell of a lot to her that he did. Vindication for all her childish hopes that maybe she was just lost, and not abandoned. See, Harrow? Her dad really would have come for her, if he had known.

Pyrrha proves the exact opposite. She did know, and it changed nothing. The whole time Gideon was growing up on the Ninth, telling herself there was someone out there looking for her, Pyrrha knew exactly where she was. She thought she must be dead, but she never actually checked. She never even tried to claim her body. It was an extremely complicated situation for Pyrrha, but from Gideon's perspective, that looks a hell of a lot like abandonment.

So yeah. John gets dad privileges despite being a fucked up bastard, because he's the fucked up bastard who went looking for her. Pyrrha watched her fall to the surface of the Ninth and quite literally left her there to rot.

#to be clear this is leaning heavily into gideon's perspective #I don't resent Pyrrha for not going back because. come on. #the woman was not on speaking terms with her own headmate #she's a fucking mess #it's not surprising she'd be negligent on following through on her duties to a kid she thought was dead #but I wouldn't expect the child she left in a violently abusive household to see it that way #and that's not even starting to unpack the whole telling Gideon to her face that she killed her mother #or Wake's entire fucking deal #the locked tomb #gideon nav #kiriona gaia #pyrrha dve #emperor john gaius #nona the ninth #ntn spoilers

Trauma Manager - a role similar to a trauma holder, but does not necessarily hold trauma. Trauma managers manage or otherwise deal with trauma in a way other headmates may be unable to.

etymology: trauma, manager

[ID: a rectangular flag with 3 stripes, the top and bottom being thicker than the thin middle stripe. in the centre there is a lighter blue-green diamond that is light blue-green, since the left side has a shadow casting on it, the shadow cuts around the diamond and a diagonal line comes out from the bottom and the top, cutting the stripes into different sections, coloured as such from top left to bottom right in order: dark blue-green, dull blue-green, blue-green, darker blue-green.

Perennial Host

A perennial host is an alter whose role as host is permanent. A perennial host may have other roles, but they will always be the host until fusion or dormancy.

A perennial host will rarely, if ever, be able to leave front, but they will always at the very least be co-conscious. They will likely have trouble accessing headspace, if they're able to at all.

This role is intended and made for P-DID systems to describe a role the dominant-alter may have, but may be used for any kind of system

MULTIJECT / MULTI-INTROJECT / MULTI-SOURCED

Multiject is the state of having multiple sources at once. There's no "limit" to how many sources an alter can have. This can be due to fusion or integration.

-formed

A suffix referring to how or why a specific alter formed, view themself as having formed, and/or are viewed by others in-system, in their system. For example 'Stressformed', would refer to an alter that formed because another alter(s) or the (sub)system as a whole was under stress.

They can also have to do with the alter's feeling about why they exist. For example, an Introject who died in source may consider themself to have been reborn into the system, and as such consider themself 'rebirthformed' ,or similar.

Sub terms under read more

-splitformed

We know that some systems use the term split to refer to any time an alter formed in the system. However we use to specifically refer to new alters that split from already know alters in the system, this often will result in something of the original alter being taken to the new one. I will be using split how we(my system) typically use it, in this post. Example 'griefsplitformed'(shorted to griefsplit) would be an alter that split because of, to deal with, and/or to hold, another alter's grief.

-fuseformed

This would refer to an alter the form as they are now do to the fusion of alters. For an example 'fearfuseformed'(shorted to fearfused) would be an alter that formed by fusion because of fear.

-wakeformed

An alter the come out of dormancy, and they leaving dormancy is seen as formation for any reason. For example 'ragewakeformed'(shorted to ragewaked) would be an alter that come of dormancy because rage, in a way that is viewed as formation.

-nowPCformed

An alter the formed from a NPC. For example traumanowPCformed(shorted to traumanowPC), would be a NPC that became an alter because, someone in the system/the system went through a new traumatic event or was reminded of past traumas.

All of these suffixes can also be used in combination with role term, in reference to alter that formed for a specific role regardless if they still are that role or not. For example protectorformed is an alter that was originally formed to be a protector, they may or may not still be one.

This was with complex dissociative disorder systems who don't like using "-genic" to describe individual alters(cough cough us) in mind
