The Garden (system term)
The Garden is a Headspace Location term which refers to the area in headspace where headmates initially form . In a system that has a garden, when a special interest(s) // hyperfixation(s) becomes especially prevelant, a seed is planted in the garden . The greater the interest, the more the seed thrives and grows . As time goes on, these seeds will grow into plants . When a split or formation occurs, the plant blooms at that exact point, and the new headmate is brought into full formation . Some plants may never bloom, while others may grow rapidly, being planted one hour and brought into full bloom the next -- it depends upon the system . A system may have a headmate who tends to the garden to keep it in check -- this headmate may be called a gardener or gardenkeeper . The gardener may prevent plants from growing too quickly, thus quelling rapid headmate formation . The gardener will also tend to the already bloomed plants and keep them healthy, as these directly affect the status of each headmate and vice versa . If the system lacks a gardener, it's possible that headmates will form at overwhelming speeds, especially if one is neurodivergent + very attached to their special interests // hyperfixations . Without a gardener, headspace may experience a sort of innerworld earthquake (which may be referred to as a seedquake or gardenquake) as half-formed headmates struggle to make their way up and out of the ground of the garden . When a system is experiencing heightened emotional levels, whether positive or negative, this can potentially act as a a sort of speed-up for sprouts, or even seeds that haven't broken the surface yet . This is referred to as emo-bonemeal, or emotion bonemeal, due to how it causes the plants to thrive . Terms that may be used by Garden Systems: ☆ n. seed -- the first hint of a headmate forming; an interest planted into the garden ☆ n. seedling // sprout -- may be used to describe the growing seed, or as an endearment for newly-formed headmates ☆ n. bloom -- may be used in reference to a fully formed headmate's plant ☆ n. gardener // gardenkeeper (role) -- a headmate or headmates who tend to the garden; such as keeping plants from growing too fast, keeping soil soft and tender so as to prevent seedquakes, maintaining blooms, etc. ☆ n. gardenquake // seedquake -- when a seedling headmate is struggling to grow, or is about to form, thus causing sort of earthquakes within the innerworld ☆ v. bloomed -- an alternative to the term "formed" ☆ n. emo-bonemeal // emotion bonemeal -- heightened emotional levels causing plant growth at potentially alarming rates THIS IS NOT FINISHED i'm just too tired rn xd
REPULSOURCTiVE AND TRAUREPULSOURCTiVE !!
@ ,,, REPULSOURCTiVE !! : a system headmate term used to describe a fictive introject who is repulsed by being associated with their source, while still being very connected to it .
@ ,,, TRAUREPULSOURCTiVE !! : a system headmate term used to describe a fictive introject who is repulsed and possibly triggered by being associated with their source due to in-source trauma, while still being very connected to it .
PSSTTT ,,, COLOR REASONING !!!!!!!!!
red = repulsion
green = disgust
indigo = past
blue = source
black = separation
grey = trauma
I'm tired . Of how cruel the world can be . How cruel people can be . We just want a break . One break . Five seconds .

unfriendly reminder.
No, splits are not *only* caused by severe/extreme trauma. After the disorder is formed your brain will split as it feels is needed. Someone's for stress, sometimes to lessen the load of another trauma holder ect. If you are hyperfixating or watching a show and have strong feelings about a character it's possible that new split or fragment will attach to that characters identity. Stop Fakeclaiming and bring assholes to people who split easily, often, or are fictive heavy. You are only causing harm. Stop fucking Fakeclaiming in general. YOU ARE ONLY CAUSING HARM.

PluralKit commands
alright, so i’ve noticed that the pk website can be a little confusing for a lot of people, so i thought i’d make a little commands cheat sheet for systems who have just started out using the bot in discord servers
short cuts and tips - pk;autoproxy [off/latch/front/member] : this command makes it so you don’t have to use the member proxies every time you talk, for example pk;autoproxy front that makes it so that whoever is fronting is automatically proxied in the server. this only works in the server that you use the command it, so you don’t have to worry about hopping into another server and having the proxy on. pk;autoproxy off : this just turns it off, so you have to do it manually again - all of the commands can be shortened to make it easier. i’m just going to list them all here pk;system —> pk;s pk;member —> pk;m pk;group —> pk;g pk;autoproxy —> pk;ap - if you have spaces in your name, you need to put it in quotes to pull it up, so for example if you put your full name it would look like pk;member “John Joe” if you don’t have the quotes around it, it won’t register properly. you could also just put in your specific code and that’ll work fine. - you can always use your specific member code in place of your name for all of these commands
system commands - pk;system new [name] : this is the command to create and name your entire system, so for example pk;system new snail system - pk;system rename [name] : this command lets you rename your entire system if you ever want to do that - pk;system description : here you can write a little description about your system if you want to, so people can have a little info on your system if they were to look it up - pk;system privacy [subject] : this one lets you set specific parts of your systems information to private, so for example if i wanted to set my system description to private, i would use pk;system privacy description private - pk;system tag [tag] : so for this one, most systems have tags that show up at the end of each members name to prevent confusion on who is from which system if there are multiple systems in chat. i’ll use our system as an example again. pk;system tag || 🐌 🌱 we added the double lines to ours because we like to put emojis in our names, so it helps differentiate which emojis are the system tag and which emojis are part of out name - pk;system avatar [url/picture] : this command lets you have a little profile picture for your entire system as a whole - pk:system list : this shows you the complete list of everyone in the system - pk;system front : this command shows you who is fronting at the time - pk;system front history : this shows you the last 10 people who’ve fronted in the system (if they logged it of course) and how long they were fronting. -pk;system front percent : this one is super useful when looking for how much each person fronts compared to the others in the system
member commands - pk;member new [name] : this creates a new member in the system and assigns them a specific code they can use to pull themselves up. i’ll use myself as an example pk;member new John - pk;member [name] : this command just pulls up the person, so for example pk;member John - pk;member [name] rename [new name] : this command lets you rename that member if you ever have to pk;member John rename Joe - pk;member [name] description [description] : this lets you add a little description to each person in the system. we like to answer a few basic questions in ours so it looks like this pk;member John description age member role in system other info the member wants to add you can obviously change it up and add more as you learn more about yourself, but every time you do this command, you’re starting your description from scratch, so you’ll need to rewrite previous information - pk;member [name] avatar [url/picture] : this command lets you put a profile picture for your specific proxy - pk;member [name] [private/public] : this command lets you private specific members descriptions/names/ages/etc for example pk;member John public - pk;member [name] proxy: text : this command lets you proxy members profiles, so they can speak as themselves in the server for example pk;member John proxy j: text now every time i want to type as myself, i have to start with “j: ” like this j: sup and it will change the message so that it’s from me rather than the main discord account - pk;member [name] pronouns [pronouns] : this command lets you add pronouns to the members profiles, so for example pk;member John pronouns he/him - pk;member [name] birthday [date] : this command lets you add a birthday to the members profiles, and it looks something like this pk;member John birthday April 13 - pk;member [name] color [hex code] : this command lets you assign a color to members profile. it only adds it to the profile and not the proxy, but it’s still pretty neat. it looks like this pk;member John color #0715cd - pk;member [name] delete : this command is for if you ever need to delete a member for some reason pk;member John delete
group commands - the group commands can be used for a lot of different things like subsystems or just to help differentiate specific things. we use out groups to separate fictives by their sources - pk;group new [name] : this is the command to create a new group pk;group new Fictives - pk;group [name] : this just pulls up the group profile pk;group Fictives - pk;group [name] list : this lists all the members in the group pk;group Fictives list - pk;group [name] description [description] : this lets you add a description to a group if you want to so for example pk;group Fictives description (insert description here) - pk;group [group name] [add/remove] [member name/names] : this is the command that lets you add to the group and you can either do it one at a time or all at once like this pk;group Fictives add John pk;group Fictives add John Dave again, you can also use the codes assigned to each member, but don’t put commas between them because that will just cause an error - pk;group [name] icon [url/picture] : this command lets you add a profile picture for a specific group - pk;group [name] delete : this lets you delete a group if you have to for some reason, but it doesn’t delete the members in the group, so don’t worry about that. it’d look something like this pk;group Fictives delete
switching commands - pk;switch [name] : this logs the time of your switch and displays the new fronter on the profile. so it’d look like this pk;switch John - pk;switch move [time] : this command lets you move your switches back for example pk;switch move 17:00 this will only be registered if it’s in military time, so keep that in mind when logging pm switches you also can’t have specific switches overlap each other, so when moving a switch back, you can’t go past the time of the switch before it. for example, if i wanted to move my switch to 4 pm but someone else was already logged at 5pm, i can’t overlap their log - pk;switch delete : this command deletes your latest switch that was logged - pk;switch out : this lets you switchout without having anyone logged for switching in. this will show in the front history and front percent as “no fronter”
that’s all i can think of right now for the basics. hopefully it’s at least a little bit helpful, and if any other systems want to add on that’s fine. just remember that pk is a bot to help systems differentiate each alter while sharing one base account, and it makes some systems uncomfortable when singlets use it for roleplaying
erm ,,, technically ? there's- dormancy, for sure, but totally being gone ? i know abt integration, but the concept of alter just being- gone- is fuzzy, and varies from system to system, i think
Questions to those of my friends, mutuales or by passers who are systems;
Is it possible to somehow ‘delete’ or remove alters from existence? I’m just curious and one of my friends asked.
i need everyone to STOP saying "if tumblr dies . . ." IF TUMBLR DIES, I DIE .
AHHH I JSUT SAID WE DIDN'T NEED HELP ND THEN SAW THIS- /nm /pos tysm, this is soso sweet !!! we appreciate this very much 💚💚 have a good night//day !!!
hi chat, millie here !! we need some help ?? 😟 so we as a collective do not support radqueer terminology or the radqueer community !! it's not- good, in our opinion however- it seems transbody terms are under the radqueer umbrella ??!?!?! we were unaware of this, and we actually do identify with some transbody terms ,,, twig is currently flippign a socket over this, bc they're unsure what to do, nd hoenstly, me too ?? 😭 so if anyone could like- give us some advice, that would be so baller, pls nd ty ,,,
chat, i am TAKING THIS BACK !! we have a very nice friend ,,, he is very honest !!! we no longer need help ,,, we will identify with our transbody labels APART from the radqueer community, pls nd ty

This is based on a conversation I had with some people in a server...
DOWN WITH THE SYSCOURSE / DWTS )
Down with the syscourse (can be abbreviated to DWTS or referred to simply as syscopunk) is an "endo stance" in which one rejects the concept of syscourse and wishes to be separated from endo stances altogether.
Down with the syscourse is inherently . . .
· Anti syscourse
· Neither pro nor anti endo in nature
· NOT endo neutral unless the user WISHES to refer to themself as such
· Respectful of others' identities && methods of self expression
· Against demonization of pro endos, anti endos, and endos themselves
· Against gatekeeping terms
· Against strict syscourse-involved DNIs
EMOJI COMBO: ⬇️👥💢
I'd rather not connect this to other discourse areas so i will not but keep in mind that I, the creator of this term, am pro good faith, anti harmful transids, and anti radqueer. that being said, I do not care who uses this as long as it applies to you and you are respectful towards myself and others it applies to.
uhhmm question.. /nf
what do you think of non-traumagenic and/or non-disordered systems..? /lh
>^>
i know it's a subject of lots of discourse in the community ,,, i don't think it's right to hate on anybody, or to tell anybody that their experience is invalid or false, it's just- different from what we're used to, yk ? something i also see a lot is ppl getting rlly upset bc "endogenic systems don't have trauma" or whatever- but they actually- *can* have trauma, and frequently *do* have trauma !! it's just not directly attached to how their system or headmates formed !! i think everyone has a right to their own experiences, but also that no one has a right to faking these kinds of things, yk ? but also, no one has a right to just claim out of the blue that someone is faking something based on their limited personal perception of what that someone releases onto social media, yeah ? it's hard sometimes to figure out that balance, how to sort the rotten from the ripe, yk ? but i think as long as everyone is loving and caring and listening, then it's going to be okay traumagenic systems have already been through enough, and endogenic systems likely have too—why do we need this added discourse based on how certain systems//headmates formed ?? some endogenic systems form from loneliness, which is sure painful, but it can be hard to tell if it qualifies as trauma, but that doesn't undermine the fact that there's other little guys in ur cranium now bopping around w u !!! i think everyone should just be nice, not fake disorders, and culture love and understanding :3 so ya !!
but i feeeeeel so teensy weensyyyyyyyyy i jus wanba be tiny

would anyone be willing to chat to a baby osdd-1b system abt everything ? like- we don't seem to have an innerworld, and i (the ,, host - ? ig-) never ever leave front, but the others can join me in front and leave, but they don't- know where they go- we don't have any amnesia barriers between alters, at least to our knowledge, so we all share everything we're kinda- rlly confused ,,,, i've been actively denying their existence since i was like- 5 ? i'm 18 now ,,,, would anyone be willing to ,,, idk, help ? give advice ?
