I Love You Systems Who Are Disordered I Love You Systems Who Are Traumagenic I Love You Systems Who Are

THE PLURAL COMMUNITY NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT THAT PRYING ABOUT PEOPLES TRAUMA MAKES YOU A FUCKING BITCH. PEOPLE LOVE TO GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. FUCKING TRY IT, I BITE

do not let ANY being tell you what trauma is valid and what isn’t.

Stress can be traumatic

Isolation can be traumatic

Toxic friendships can be traumatic

School can be traumatic

Hospital checkups can be traumatic

Moving houses/countries/schools can be traumatic

High expectations can be traumatic

Everybeing experiences things different , what’s traumatic for one being won’t be for another, and that’s ok! Your trauma and experiences are valid <333

Can't think too hard about our own plurality or we might have a mental breakdown

Like, who are we at any point? We blend so much and so easily it's not even just our default state, we're never anything else

Does who we were still exist? Did they ever? Who am I? Am "I" one of these facets? Am I a shell? Am I the remnant of who we used to be, the original, or just another headmate?

it/its pronouns are not inherently dehumanizing, unless the user wants them to be. it/its pronouns aren't weird. it/its pronouns aren't too hard to use. people who only use it/its pronouns need to have this be respected no matter what your beliefs are. you don't get to single out people with "weird" pronouns and misgender us and use incorrect pronouns. accept someone who uses it/its as you support someone who uses they/them. there's nothing wrong with it/its pronouns. respect its users.

Anyone have headmates who just sit in co-con with a song playing in their head that everyone can hear? Like audibly? Because its become a running joke to play effectively elevator music while nothing is happening with the body. Other headmates will play an alarm sound when it's time to wake up. Is this just an us thing? Being able to project semi-audible sound clips to front? Its kinda fun but sometimes I just Hear Something and I go "the hell was- oh its you" and it makes me giggle. Anyone?

Nonhuman expressions of affection are great. Purring. Exposing weak points as a show of trust. Head bonks. Preening and chewing. Nuzzling. Biting. Intertwining tails. Feeding each other. Little chuffs, chatters, beeps and squeaks. Fluffing up of feathers, fur or other things. Dancing to impress. Cleaning their fur, scales, feathers or skin. Sharing body heat. Ears pointing toward those you care about to show your full attention is on them. Slow blinking.
