[septembersanctuary]

We’ve received multiple messages about this today, all of which were accusatory or hostile. We were incredibly confused, especially since we aren’t on Twitter much

Please take the time to look at timestamps or even gently ask about it if need be. There’s no way we could’ve predicted someone coining a different term of the same name in the future

Erosian / Oikeian Flag

A system member that is often the result of trauma. They are hypersexual in nature and/or act as a sexual protector for the system; attempting to keep the system out of unsafe intimate situations or putting themselves in that situation instead.

[septembersanctuary]

can you describe Liaison more

Sure! Liaison is based off of a pre-existing word, usually it’s used for a representative that acts as the medium between two companies. We initially coined it for members that don’t belong to a group, or exist in between them, much like a floater traveling between layers in headspace

We used to think of it as “group 1, group 2, and liaisons”

Hope this helped!

Antegenic Does a based version exist?

Not that I know of, but Ante-based could work!

[septembersanctuary]

Vardian

Variants: Vardic, Vardial

When a system experiences a sudden shift in their identity, the way they function, and/or their front roster. This is a not a complete system reset, but more so a "remix", "soft reboot", or "shift".

Vard- from Greek "vardia", meaning "shift".

Do not use if you're against endogenic systems or a community exclusionist.

[septembersanctuary]

Constellation Switching

Variation: Constellation Fronting

When members from two or more distinct groups simultaneously front. This can result in a “divided” feeling, or something akin to shadowing.

The brain may revolve the front, putting one group in control of the body at a time.

Do not use if you're anti-endogenic systems or a community exclusionist.
