Reference for Ghostwaker! The light fury replacement oc.

And for Toothless, purely to show the contrast between how Ghost looks and how he does, especially size and shape-wise. Also spreading httyd1 toothless design propaganda.

I think there is a very important discussion that needs to happen about misunderstanding experiences, symptoms, the nature of progression as a system, and the commonality of misdiagnosis.

But making a blanket statement about how everyone is actually "fill in the blank" just because that is what YOU experienced is not that conversation.

I started as an endogenic system, and after a few years decided mixed origin was more beneficial and accurate, and I am very slowly coming to realize I may have had a CDD much earlier in my life than I originally thought. Does that mean I think every endogenic or mixed origin system is confused or in denial? Hell no! Do I think there are more people like myself out there. Yeah, absolutely. The odds are pretty high. But just because my understanding of my mental health is expanding, that doesn't mean I can even begin to guess what is going on in someone else's head. My experience is not theirs. No more than theirs is mine.

Damn, that sounds rough, I’m sorry. What kinds of resources specifically are you looking for on median systems?

Here’s a few links (beyond just pluralpedia etc) to some general terminology and personal experiences in case that helps, good luck out there.

https://smallcedarforest.org/non-binary-plural-language-and-concepts-for-osdd-and-median-experience/

https://healthymultiplicity.com/loonybrain/Info/median_article.html LB Lee has a lot of other essays about plurality out there too, btw

Important Note: astrea’s web is very old and generally pretty sketchy afaik in terms of old community politics and unreliable info, so in general we don’t recommend it as a resource—but this specific essay by a guest author about their experience of median-ness is an interesting read imo: https://www.astraeasweb.net/plural/mediankiya.html

And lastly, some stuff we’ve written about it: https://www.tumblr.com/indigochromatic/746725647507996672

Whatever is going on with our plurality rn it SUCKS.

Having my brain feel like it's actively splintering into pieces is NOT how I wanted to spend my week off.

It's also clouding my nonhumanity? Don't get me wrong, I'm still totally nonhuman, but I haven't been able to get any good shifts since this started.

I'll be sure to give an update eventually, but I'm just gonna sit back and let whatever is going on happen.

(P.S: Seeking resources on median systems, please share if you know any! Thank you!!)

Everyone who plays around with Tarot cards long enough winds up with a “bad” card that they love. I just barely persuaded my husband not to get the Ten of Swords tattooed on his body; traditionally, it shows a corpse with ten swords stuck in their body and means “utter ruin,” but he thought that if it took ten swords to kill you, then you must have put up a pretty good fight.

honestly this is the most badass ten of swords interpretation i've ever heard.  i'm stealing this

looking at julian bashir like "well you aren't exactly intersex but you did have a horrifically traumatic medical procedure performed on you at a very young age without your knowledge or consent which was explicitly solely in order to make you more normal + desirable, so..."

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.

Tom Brown, a 79-year-old from Clemmons, North Carolina, has spent over 20 years of his retirement tracking down rare, nearly extinct apple varieties that once flourished across Appalachia. Driven by his passion for rediscovering these heirlooms, Brown has revived more than 1,200 unique apple types with whimsical names like Brushy Mountain Limbertwig, Mule Face, and Tucker’s Everbearing.

His journey began in 1998 after encountering heritage apples at a farmers’ market, inspiring him to search for “lost” apples that hadn’t been tasted in over a century. Stretching across the Appalachian region—from southern New York to northern Alabama—Brown scours old maps, orchard catalogs, and historical records, often driving hours and knocking on doors to find forgotten orchards or lone trees tucked in remote areas.

When he finds a lost variety, Brown grafts clippings onto trees in his own orchard, where he cultivates and sells them for just $15 to encourage others to create “mini preservation orchards.” Despite the challenge of aging trees and a dwindling population of local knowledge keepers, Brown remains determined, calling the work both fun and fulfilling.

“It’s a thrill to rediscover them,” he says. “I’m happy as a lark.” Brown’s mission not only preserves these apples but also honors the heritage of the region, where generations of families once prided themselves on cultivating unique varieties in their backyards.

Bigender x Bisexual over here (also a system), and found your post about being drawn to hetero dynamics in relationships very relatable. Definitely also still figuring out what there is to unpack around that for us, but also, at least personally, I feel like there’s some of it that comes from feeling alienated from so much of the queer rep we grew up around. We couldn’t see ourselves in either “wlw” or “mlm” (the predominant relationship narratives within queer spaces), because we literally can’t fit into either without losing half of who we are—both in gender identity and in attraction. You can be feminine and gay, but you can’t be female; you can be masculine and lesbian, but not male; and if you’re bisexual or bigender (if that’s even portrayed at all), maybe it’s okay to be gay for both genders, but you certainly can’t also be straight (god forbid) for them too…or at least, that’s the typical assumptions we ran into a lot. And it’s not like Typical Patriarchy-Approved Cishet Non-Queer romances, where neither character is allowed any “taint” of queerness in either gender or sexuality, were any better—in fact, in many ways they were way, way worse. But with hetero dynamics, at least we could see all of us getting to be loved, even if it was split across two people.

Extremely fascinated, I'm glad to have connected with you. <3 It's an unusual thing and I'm glad I'm not the only one with a strange relationship to heterosexuality.

every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks i’m cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).

Being a weird little girl as a kid provides two options to you: becoming transgender or becoming a weird adult woman. Both of which are things the world needs more of
