Can you say '___genic' to describe how you became plural even if you're not a system?

We would say so, yes!

Seeing as 'genic' is a community term, absolutely!

Hey there! I just want to let you know that apparently there's people planning on sending child gore in ask boxes over the next few days. (Post link: https://www.tumblr.com/cynthiadasorceress/770593639802011648?source=share)

I can't guarantee it's true or false, but I feel it's important to share in case it's real. Stay safe, friend.

Thank you for this! We’ll consult with the other mod to see what happens from here on, so asks may get turned off for a bit, but we’ll be back as soon as this gets cleared up!

what are introjects? or factives , fictives , etc ?

An Introject is a headmate that is at least partially based off of something originating from outside the system. This can be something like a fictional character (Fictive), or a real person (Factive). It is important to remember that these introjects are not their sources, and you should treat them the same way you would any other headmate. Hope this helps!

Would there be a term for a persecutor where they cause havoc in hesdspace ONLY? Rather than doing it at front? Or did I get that all mixed up ;;

Unfortunately, there isn't.

There is a term where they specifically harm the body or themselves, but not one for the opposite.

They still are a persecutor, and are not at all required to hurt the body to be one, however, if you are looking for a particular label for this, I would recommend going to a coining blog.

do you have a flag for emotional dampener? I’ve seen you use the term for your own system and it fits one of our headmates really well, but we like having a flag for all of our roles

We don’t actually, let me know if you make one though!

hello! is there a term for a headmate that fronts ONLY when they’re mentioned irl , or source wise?

eg. i say the grinch and the grinch comes to front ( IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN I AM SORRY!! )

Unfortunately, there isn't a term for this.

However, this would refer to a front trigger!

I have a dog, hes like authority trauma thingy haha :3 i want to know if exist a term to him, hes not a therian hes a dog, really a dog

A nonhuman headmate.

[plural-dictionary]

Well, we have a headmate, who appeared because of trauma, and they are terrible, theyre chaotic and mean, thanks god they dont host w frequency. So my ask is if theres any name for a headmate who is that chaotic and messed up way, and if unsupervied can do shit with the body and people around too

This is known as a persecutor.

A persecutor is a headmate who acts harmfully towards other system members or the body.

This is commonly mixed up with a prosecutor, who is somebody who is aggressive to those outside the system in order to protect the body/the system.

Sorry for the question but, what is a endo? I saw in so many DID/system/plural quotes about bring anti-endo but idk what it is...

An endogenic system is a system that wasn't formed from trauma.

'Endo' is the short term for 'endogenic', and can be used as both a noun and an adjective. (eg. "I am an endo.", "I am endo." "I am an endo system."), however it is more commonly used in the noun form.

Somebody who is anti endo does not believe that systems can form without trauma.

Also, there are a few related terms that you may need:

Willogenic system - a system that was created or willed into existence [endogenic]

Protogenic system - a system who has always been a system/their system has existed since birth [endogenic]

Quoigenic system - a system who does not know their origin, does not care about their origin, or does not wish to share their origin

Stressgenic system - a system formed from trauma

Sysmed - a term that describes somebody who believes that all systems must be disordered, or must have a CDD (OSDD, DID). 【Some find this term to be offensive, although we never quite researched why.】

There are many other terms, but these are some things we were confused about when we first settled into the community!

[plural-dictionary]

Is there a term for a headmate that's always angry, even if it's just a little? He's not- exactly aggressive for say, but he will get annoyed quickly and snap at us.

This may be an anger holder.

An anger holder is a headmate who holds anger for the system. This can involve always feeling some level of anger, getting angry or frustrated quicker than other headmates, or even lashing out at random times. Anger holders may or may not handle anger in a healthy manner.

do you have a flag for emotional dampener? I’ve seen you use the term for your own system and it fits one of our headmates really well, but we like having a flag for all of our roles

We don’t actually, let me know if you make one though!

[plural-dictionary]

Is there a term for a headmate that can soak up memories from other headmates, even if they weren't fronting at the moment the experience happened?

The experience would be memory diffusion or memory sharing. The headmate in particular could possibly be a memory holder.

Is there a term for a headmate who causes dissociation and/or blurring when in or near the front? It doesn't happen every time (not anymore at least) and I don't know if he can control it or if it just kinda happens. He is also a protector so I don't know if that's part of why it happens or not.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be :(

[plural-dictionary]

Do you know if there's a term that's something along the lines of "heartbreak holder" or "heartbreak experiencer"? If there isn't we might coin it but we're too lazy to try and find it if it does already exist lol

Also, is there an introject term for an introject of. placeholder text ig? (we have a headmate who's a lorem ipsum introject lol) (once again we might coin it if not)

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a term for either of these.

[plural-dictionary]

is there a term for headmates who will temporarily lock themselves in front (or will co-front and refuse to leave)?

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a term for this.

The closest thing would be a switch inhibitor.

[plural-dictionary]

Would there be a term for an alter whose whole deal is being taken care of?

A charge is a headmate whose role is to be taken care of.
