#especially if you are plural

[thedevilandhisbride]

good morning to everyone but this person

reminder that: - all systems are valid - self diagnosis is valid - no diagnosis is valid - all origins are valid - you&. are. valid. fake claim us all you want, because we are in the spot now where we are past hating ourselves for being plural. but we dont let you target others who are just trying to find themselves. be on the look out, yall. i dont care if you are anti-endo, pro-endo, endo neutral, whatever. syscourse or no syscourse, nobody deserves to be fake-claimed. be safe

i saw a stupid post full of exclusionism and was. tired anyways shoutout to system members who are transfem, transmasc, transneutral, and/or any other trans modality i'm forgetting - whether it "matches" with the body or not we put up with so much bullshit sometimes

#cy.txt #pluralgang #endo safe #plural system #...i want to add trans specific tags but. ough my fear bc we have less exclus blocked here and i Cannot deal w that #anyways i'm tired especially when it's other systems that try to dictate what can and can't be used #like buddy you don't know the specifics of our situation and even then it's weird to be policing labels as heavily as you are. fuck off #idk if i'm explaining this right it's 2 am in our timezone and am multitasking other stuff at the same time #i'd love to explain this further from a personal lens but also there's information we are Not sharing about us bc too personal so. No </3

Do you think Kayn and Rhaast have something similar to a headspace where they can interact with each other physically?

#They do in my heart (hc) #Plural Kayn real #Especially in Heartsteel #Rhaayn #You know why I tagged this #Shieda Kayn #Rhaast #Kayn #Kayn League Of Legends #Rhaast League Of Legends #Legends Of Runeterra #Wild Rift #Actually Plural

So introjection right. That thing where you internalize external things and they manifest as alters/traits/etc somehow. This isn't going to be about being treated like your source character.

This is about being treated as a source character.

We're pretty open about ourselves. We love talking about our experiences and what goes on in our head. We often draw ourselves and share it online because it makes us happy.

In the one public system space we hang out in, people have introjected us as alters from time to time. Which is OK I guess. We honestly don't mind that in particular. It happens. Especially with how we present ourselves publicly.

As long as you still remember we are real people with real feelings.

It's actually really really weird being referred to as a source. As something to be consumed. As something to take the bits and pieces of that you like. As something on the same level as a fictional character.

I know introjects of real people (aka factives) exist, but we're not a public figure or content creator. We're just some guy with DID and us as alters are a direct representative of that. We deal with some really rough shit actually and I don't Particularly enjoy that being taken in a light way.

One of us has a "stage name" for example. He doesn't use it normally. He hates using it unless he's actively going through it. It's a very direct metaphor for something that happened to us.

Seeing someone introject him, take that name and use it casually is very fucking uncomfortable actually!!

I guess like. If something like this happens, please talk to us about it. Please ask us directly where our boundaries lie. Ask the person in question if they are OK with you using the same profile picture, or name, or anything. I want people to communicate with us about that kind of stuff. So we don't have a major mutual freakout over it.

And... please, if someone is uncomfortable. Don't try to justify it with saying you can't control introjection and that it happens very easily for you. What happens in your head happens, but you can control how you respond to it. And deflecting someone else's discomfort with you taking their trauma responses isn't the way to go about it.

#dissociative identity disorder #systemhood #plurality #introjection #didosdd #plural stuff #[Anomaly] #idk if this is too targeted #but it's really important to us #i don't want to be mad at people #especially not for things a lot of systems cant easily control #it just. really hurts to have our own discomfort ignored there #✌️ thanks for reading if you got this far #its a long one #ok to rb btw

After more researching and reflecting, we're coming to terms, positively speaking, that we actually have DID instead of OSDD-1b ( a partial form of DID ) and... wow! This is still a lot to process as it's making me more emotional, but this feels right and better.

Plural character who is both a lesbian and a gay man but only sometimes bisexual

#this would be one of the most relatable experiences of all time #I've been looking at a lot of plural polls lately and the notes where people describe their systems #and man I'm just thinking you can get so funky with queer rep if you have no respectability politics concerns #Especially!! With neurodivergent and/or mentally ill characters #You can have lesbian vampires but they're both in the same human body #You can do ANYTHING #I'd eat that shit up #hal rambles

i just saw a post about andrew and his meds and how he was probably misdiagnosed for depression but he’s actually bipolar which made him manic all the time bc of his meds and!!!! yes to me andrew has always been bipolar. anyways i just had to share this with someone what are you thoughts on bipolar andrew? i know this isn’t kevin related and for that i’m sorry

"i know this isn’t kevin related and for that i’m sorry" HRGJLDHFGDFJG KDFJG FUNNY....!!!! i do answer non-kevin related asks sometimes but the flesh and the spirit must be willing... i'd say it's occasional like an expert briefly commenting on another expert's field

i thought bipolar andrew was canon? isn't it? i've never really had any extensive thoughts about it; to me it was just a fact of the world like the foxes are orange and kevin is beautiful..... well. regardless. i think it's a good hc if that's what it is :) i'm not all that interested in diagnosing aftg characters with personality disorders and i think a diagnosis of something is not always a concrete reality of life and more so a guideline to follow to deal with a specific cluster of symptoms, but as far as they go, andrew being bipolar makes a lot of sense!

i have a friend who went through the foster system when they were younger and a few years ago i do remember we were talking about andrew and they said a lot of how he was written was taken textbook from a 'how to foster troubled children' manual, which i think is most of what i think about re: andrew's mental health. to me it is more interesting (fiction wise!) to think about the material conditions that caused him to develop the symptoms he did, and less so about the ultimate conclusion of them. does this make sense?

tl;dr: i thought andrew being bipolar was already canon, if it's a hc then it's cool :=)

#asks #andrew #ive never really been much interested about personality disorders or really psychology as a broader term #not because i've never needed therapy or meds (pah! can you imagine!) #but because i think just as a base line that the human experience is very plural and complicated #and the state of modern psychiatry / psychology eludes a lot of that complexity #to ultimately serve the purpose of rehabilitating patients not as human beings but as 'functioning' workers and potential consumers #please note that i am not saying i am anti psychology&psychiatry #i'm just recognizing it as an apparatus of capitalism like every industry is #and especially caregiving industries #sorry this is such a tangent. i need to read up more theory on this after all #but yes. andrew!

pleasant reminder from the person behind romo aro: endos belong in our community. alloaros belong in our community. aplatonics belong in our community. mspec gays belong in our community. queer people belong in our community. all systems belong in our community. all aros belong in our community. disabled people belong in our community. neurodivergents belong in our community.

they always have. they always will. our community was built on radical inclusion and fighting for more of us to have a place and belong. our door is always open for people who are looking for community to belong. romo aro exists because of that inclusivity and understanding that the world isnt so black and white.

thats the whole point. diversity, community, and belonging. and we have none of that without inclusion.

all aros belong.

#if you disagree youre gonna be hard pressed to find a spot in this community! #after all- i made it. #good luck besties! 💚💚🤍🖤🖤 #but these peoples inclusion is non debatable. #especially considering those attitudes are part of the trauma that pushed me to make it #anyways! tagging time #romo aro #romoaro #aro #aro systems #aro plurality #aromantic #arospec #aro spec #aro spectrum #aromantic spec #aromantic spectrum #actually aromantic #aromanticism #aro community #you belong with us #romo aro is inherently inclusive #and yes ill drag yall into my politics- this community exists based on an exclusion-caused-trauma #this community has always been inherently political and inherently inclusive! #thats the whole fucking point babey #they speak

Oh hey! Do you like stories about wlw and weird, convoluted forms of time travel? Do you like supporting queer folks making cool art? Did River Song rewire your brain as a teenager?

I wrote a short story called "A Practical Study of Time" for Baffling Magazine, a queer speculative fiction mag! It's published on Patreon, if you're interested in becoming a patron of a super neat lit mag—or it'll be on their site when their eleventh issue is published in April!

#listen what am I but a dancing court jester at this point I might as well self promote #this like JUST went up and I did not realize it was going up today that was sure an email #me: here's the last of the edits there's one left for you to resolve as you see fit #reply: cool I just resolved that and it's up on patreon now! #me: .......oh cool but *wut* #but for real baffling is super cool and you should check out previous issues and possibly support if you can. they are stellar. #eveNTUALLY I will put my writing website in my pinned or something once I like. lmfao QC that. #but for now I will just make mildly bewildering posts when a short story that I think folks might be interested in gets published #especially if I can promote a cool publication. #radon was also super cool. baffling is super cool. my next publication is also in a super cool mag which I'll def mention! #been very fortunate that people organizing really dope publications have been liking my writing ;-; #also like. really on brand set of first publications ngl. #weird high concept scifi in first person plural pov. queer nonlinear time shenanigans. next up: wizards and war crimes babey (sorta lol) #anyway great first run now if I could sit down and edit my fucking BOOK

cannot imagine being the type of person to leave catty comments/ratings on a publicly bookmarked work…i think you are weird but in a bad way. and i think you are a bit of a wanker probably ?

#especially when the option to privately bookmark is right there…and i mean if you didn’t like the work that much. one wonders why you are #bookmarking it in the first place…your vibes are shocking! #this is not an aimed post btw. the ‘you’ here is a general plural you xx

Raph constantly protecting his family, having to be the adult in his family (AKA with eldest daughter syndrome) 🤝 Red constantly protecting Raph even if it means he has to argue with him to make sure he's safe

#fox speaks #Red is the most hypocritical out of the system #Red: You need to have time for yourself and stop taking responsibility for your family #when it wasn't your burden in the first place especially when you were a kid #Raph: But don't you literally spend all your time watching over me like I do my brothers? #Red: This ain't about me #<- a hypocrite (but I love him anyway) #rottmnt #tmnt #shard system #plurality #rottmnt red #rottmnt raph
