Fuck it. Go have fun with your system. People tell you that you're roleplaying because you have odd/cringe experiences? Fuck them. Your experiences are real. And regardless, roleplay is available to everyone and is a fun past time, even if you ARE roleplaying about your system. Go system hop, date your headmates, get overt with it, obsess about interests (which if you're an introject, may be yourself). Life is too short to be worried about haters hating on you. What are they gonna do? Send a hate anon? Ohh I'm so scared~
you guys will seriously believe anything on the Internet huh? you really think this amulet is controlling me? ive always had this aura. been sacrificing people since i could walk. this guy loves the suffering. i mean i love the suffering.
(asking my system friend who's fronting)hey so uhh.. what user is logged in right now
I love just saying "you're plural boy" in response to alterhumans being like "anyone else have their kins talk to them in their brain" like, I don't even feel the need to write a full "oh um maybe you might be a BIG SCARY SYSTEM.... look at 10 different essays now....." I'm just like. yeah that's plural. and I move on with my day. and yes, I do unironically feel like this is how plurality should largely be treated.
Before I got professional help from a DID specialist, I was a very violently anti-endo sysmed. Ironically, pursuing help and taking my medication regularly helped me open up to the idea of non-traumagenic systems.
Before I had access to professional help, I was angry at the world. I was angry at the doctors for not accepting my insurance even though I so desperately needed their help, and I was angry at the endogenics for seemingly getting the "easy" and "fun" parts of my disorder. It was insecurity. I blamed them for how people outside of the community treated me, I blamed them for making us look bad.
I held out hope for the definitive "medical truth" to validate me, I wanted someone to look at me and say:
"I know EXACTLY what is wrong with you, and I can fix you."
But sadly that was just a dream. After cycling through a handful of specialists and settling on my current one, I realized they're learning from me as much as I'm learning from them. Every single specialist had a wildly different definition of what DID looks like, and even is. What it's caused by, and what it's not. Some specialists were open to the idea of endogenic systems existing, some were not.
DID/OSDD medical information is a footnote in a medical textbook. So many of the terms that diagnosed traumagenics use are not decided upon by a medical consensus. Even the specialists are extrapolating heavily based on the very limited information there is about this disorder.
That's when it hit me.
The doctors don't know shit. The community dosent know shit. So damn it all to hell I don't care anymore.
Traumagenic and Endogenic systems are in the same boat. We are all still discovering what it even means to be plural. There's no set definition, even within the sysmed community. So why are we so desperately trying to invalidate each other's experiences just to try to convince others, and ourselves, that our lived experiences are real?
Shout out to all the kids who always picked shape-shifting as their hypothetical power growing up and assumed it was for gender affirmation but now realize it was also a plurality thing.
hello! i made this inclusive multiplicity pride flag for literally all systems ^ . ^
feel free to use it if you are a system (no matter what your origin is <3) and/or have did/osdd!
Mixed origin culture is cycling through "I'm only traumagenic because we're heavily affected by trauma.. wait no we're willogenic because I had to put in effort to help everyone fully figure out their identity... But I'd probably be a system regardless of trauma because we do form without reason sometimes so I'm endo" several times a day
.
disordered system culture is realizing that being consistently unable to remember arguments/conflicts even 5 minutes later with any clarity at all (besides general knowledge that we were upset) is maybe actually something that counts as amnesia

takes are stupid. when are we going to start posting gives
