Confused Howling - Blog Posts
We are gonna just call us (Shay & "kins") a subpack. If we end up being technically "wrong" with that term, then oh well.

We have a question for plural beings.
How do you know if you are a subsystem/part of a subsystem?
We are now kinda questioning if "me" (Shay and "my" kins) are technically a subpack (we use pack instead of system).
We/I get uncomfortable at times saying I/me/my/etc when it should fit (example; my wings) and would much rather say we/us/our/etc at those times. But then there are also times when we/I seem to have no real problem with I/me/my/etc.
Even if we figure out that we are a subpack in our pack, we would still probably just refer to the "kins" as just that cause fictive feels weird for them?
Honestly, we are just pretty confused, lol.
Like "my kins" feel like "me" more than my/our other packmates, but idk.

Rebloging our own post cause we really would love some more advice!

Question for the systems/plurals (or whatever term that beings use for those types of things) that have intentionally created alter(s)/headmate(s) [or whatever term].
How do you actually go about doing that? We are interested in trying to make/create some packmates (our version of alters/headmates) but we don't really know how to go about that.
We hope that we have explained this in a very respectful way.
- Shay 🐾 & Mystery ❔️ (when we started writing this post, Mystery was also in front, but not when posting this)
Edit (we originally just had this in the comments, but it's worth adding to the actual post): Add on to our original post. We have seen tumblr posts of "make a headmate/alter," are those recommended? (Hope this makes at least some sense). We don't necessarily mean using one or asking for one to be made for us. We just mean how they are formatted and all that. But also, would beings recommend using one of those?

We found a different origin term that fits from the same site.
So this and unknown will be the ones we will likely use the most.

Looked at this to learn about plural origins.
These feel like the best terms for our origin right now.
So we will be using these terms, probably mostly unknown.

Not tagged, but we wanted to do this.
There are quite a few songs stuck in our head rn, lol.
This is the main one, though, lol. Watched some of the Agatha All Along episodes a few days ago, and this song has been stuck in our head since.
- Lakey (They/it + blu/blue/blues/blues/blueself) | I think this is the first post with Lakey, lol.
[Wanna mention that I (Shay/Zuki) am almost always 'fronting' and shit, so I'm still here as well as Lakey.] | {"typical" pronouns for me (Shay/Zuki) which are they/it}
ATTENTION
If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)
I decided to try and make some userboxes myself for us.
Don't know how well they actually turned out, but we love them!!!
If you want to use these userboxes, feel free to use them! Credit is not needed but is very much appreciated!
- Lynix (They/them + feline/cat/felines/cats/felineself) & Phalen (They/it + wolf/dog/wolfs/dogs/wolfdogself) | idk if both are alters or if one is a kin currently
I'm gonna start calling ourself a system/plural, I don't know the exact origin yet, cause I don't know if I had "enough" trauma at the "right" time for it to be DID or OSDD or any other dissociative disorder. But it feels like we are a system/plural.
We will only really be doing this here, I am unsure if I am gonna tell anyone I know in real life for now. I might wait till I figure out our origin, and even then, it would only be a few people that I would tell.
This feels like the right words and terms for what we feel. I will just be using system and plural for us as terms until I figure out more, of course.

[Using both I/me and we/our]
