Plural culture is appreciating and loving your local persecutor+protector+anger holder so fucking much even though they mess up plenty. Ours has such a hard job to do but all he ever wants is to try to help, and we care about this guy SO FUCKING MUCH MAN (he is NOT a fan of us fawning over him rn but we can NEVER appreciate him enough for what he does for us)

hey just an idea/note for other systems out there
if youre worried about tagging stuff with system tags bc the post isnt directly related to system things, but you still want other systems to find your posts and interact with you etc etc
use the community tags for those posts!!
#did community, #system community, #sysblr, #plural community, #osdd community, etc etc etc!
that way its about being a community and not clogging the system content related tags!!

Here’s some positivity for system persecutors!
System persecutors are headmates who cause harm, either to themselves, their headmates, or their body. Many systems may find they have persecutors, and may be unsure of how best to navigate living with their persecutors and forming positive bonds. But persecutors are still headmates, maintaining a valid, while often maladaptive, role, and they deserve to be embraced and accepted in their system and the plural community as a whole! So this post is for all the persecutors out there!
❤️🩹 Shoutout to persecutors who have been traumatized, hurt, ostracized, or bullied by others, whether inside or outside their system!
🔥 Shoutout to persecutors who lash out at their headmates in order to protect their system!
🥀 Shoutout to persecutors who want to change for the better, but don’t know how!
🏵 Shoutout to persecutors who struggle with self-harm, intrusive thoughts, suicidal ideation, and other potentially harmful thoughts or actions!
❤️🩹 Shoutout to persecutors who are also symptom holders, hosts, littles, protectors, or have some other role in their system!
🔥 Shoutout to persecutors who are trying out less harmful coping strategies as a way to deal with their negative emotions!
🥀 Shoutout to persecutors who are learning to apologize after they’ve lashed out at their headmates and are taking steps to form better relationships with their system members!
🏵 Shoutout to persecutors who have recently relapsed, backslid, or fallen back into old habits or harmful coping mechanisms!
❤️🩹 Shoutout to persecutors who don’t want to change - you still deserve respect and compassion as you are, no changes necessary!
🔥 Shoutout to persecutors who have dealt with being jailed, isolated, or otherwise cut off from the rest of their system for any reason!
🥀 Shoutout to persecutors who often feel angry, frustrated, anxious, lost, upset, lonely, or depressed!
All persecutors in all systems are deserving of love, happiness, and comfort, with absolutely no exceptions! Regardless of your past, your feelings, how you view the world and how the world views you, if you are a persecutor in your system, we are wishing you the very best. We truly hope you can find hope and recovery if you need it, something joyful to hold on to, and someone in your corner who cares about you as you are now. If nothing else, please know that we care about you and we’re rooting for you!
We know this might be hard, but please do your best to show yourself some patience and kindness today. You exist for a reason, and change takes time and dedication! You are allowed to take things slowly, breathe, and show yourself some grace today. We hope your future is filled with treats, good surprises, comfort, safety, and a sense of belonging! Until then, remember that you belong here, and we are so happy to share this space with you.

How do you feel about host-centricism in plural communities? (Not bait, I just like hearing your opinions and insight)
I think more systems can benefit from learning that systems have different ways of functioning.
You have some systems with no hosts at all. Then there are other systems where there's on single host who is the main one interacting with the outside world. And I think both are valid if they don't push their views on others.
Personally, I don't see a lot of host-centrism in the communities I frequent.
Maybe a bit in tulpa communities, but even those emphasize how to do the best for your tulpa and how to be the best host you can.
I find host-centrism far more problematic from singlets than in plural communities, because a lot of singlets will act as if only the host is real. And that unfortunately bleeds into plural media which further reinforces host-centric views among singlets.
That, to me, is a far bigger issue than host-centrism in plural communities.

It’s sometimes kind of uncanny how some headmates knew they existed even before you met them or knew of their existence. Like, you get used to it after a while but thinking about how they were there during periods of your life where at the time you thought you were just by yourself is kinda crazy to look back on.

At this point I'm just like
*sees exclusionist or fakeclaimer* get plural'd lol *creates another fanwork about plurality and spreads my lil plural paws over my fandoms*
... Sure, it's not a conventional method of dealing with hate, but it is so satisfying to know I will be reaching people these assholes don't even think to consider :3c You can rant and rave all you want, I'm over here introducing people to the full spectrum of plurality and teaching them all about systems and warning them in advance that you're full of nonsense before they've even heard of you >:3 and we're bonding over our blorbos as I do it
