#adaptive origins

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for systems whose origins are not endogenic, traumagenic, or mixed between the two!

Not every system will have origins that fit neatly into the endogenic/traumagenic/mixed framework. Lots of systems may find that other origin labels or no origin labels at all work best for their system! This post is for those find themselves in this position!

💫 Shoutout to unknown, created, adaptive, and spontaneous systems who benefit from using Emmengard’s plural rings to describe their system origins!

🪐 Shoutout to systems whose origins technically fit the definition of endogenic or traumagenic, but who don’t use those labels for any reason!

🔭 Shoutout to systems who have xeno origins or coined their own labels to describe their origins!

⭐️ Shoutout to systems who don’t like to think or talk much about their origins!

🚀 Shoutout to systems who are quoigenic and prefer to keep their origins private and/or unknown!

🌙 Shoutout to those who have always been systems for their whole lives or as long as they can remember!

👽 Shoutout to systems with spiritual, religious, metaphysical, or supernatural origins!

☄️ Shoutout to systems with complex dissociative disorders who don’t like being referred to as traumagenic!

🛰 Shoutout to systems with members who all have different, individual origins!

🌟 Shoutout to paros/paromancers, daemons, imagians, thoughtforms, willowers/willomates, and other headmates that prefer to not be referred to as endogenic!

🛸 Shoutout to systems who are origin-less or who simply don’t have origins!

Plurality is such a beautifully vast and diverse spectrum! It’s okay for systems to have origins that don’t fit into the traumagenic/endogenic/mixed framework, to partially identify with these labels, or to not have any origin labels at all! You are still valid as plural, your system is still special just the way it is, and you still belong in the plural community as you are.

We hope that you and your system can treat yourselves and take it easy today. We’re wishing you the very best in all that you do, and want to support and uplift you however we can! We hope that you can find joy, comfort, and acceptance in your system and in the plural community, regardless of your origin labels. Thank you so much for reading, and have a wonderful day!

thinking about how armand was turned bc he was dying from being stabbed by a scorned grown man who was in love with him. he nearly died from rejecting unwanted advances. its such a key explicit detail of his origin that teaches him yet again that what he wants is utterly unimportant and even deadly in the face of survival. everything about his character is informed by the fact that he adapts entirely to the situation he is forced into because that's the only way he can survive. he adopts the satanic doctrine for 200 years not because he believes in it but because he knows that is the only way he'll survive and as soon as lestat arrives he knows he can abandon it. for half a millenium he believes he can't get what he wants and also survive, he has to choose one or the other. God.

so-called "tragedy enjoyer" reads the exorcist and suddenly feels heartbreak instead of catharsis or vindication over seeing a character who was always gonna die in the worst way possible die

Me: Wow, the Netflix ATLA was better than what I expected. Indeed, it felt too rushed, probably because they were asked to do only 8 episodes like everything in the platform; but they were still able to capture the feeling of the original, and it was an enjoyable show. Not to mention the effects, those were so well done, especially Zuko fire kicks, I loved those.

Me: *checks internet opinions*

Me: Oh... I'm supposed to hate this adaptation.

Which adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the most queer?

*not including House M.D. because it's not really an adaptation, or any overtly queer pastiches like My Dearest Holmes or The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity because that's not really a fair contest

Releasing Nimona on the last day of pride month 2023 was such a great move because it’s a really needed piece of media right now. Lots of countries that legalised gay marriage years ago have been grappling with this rising TERF narrative of “if you’re gay it’s whatever but if you’re trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming in some way you’re a PERVERT! A MONSTER trying to GROOM CHILDREN!” The outrage against simple things like pronouns and drag events, and the movement against gender affirming healthcare have reached a terrifying peaks for contemporary times.

So a kid’s movie set in a fictional country with controlling government officials with personal agendas, with an openly gay couple but also a shape-shifting kid who cannot even be afford to be out is our reality in the US today. Nimona’s feelings about her vibe, body and form, her insistence that she is only “Nimona” no matter what she looks like and her aversion to “small-minded questions” together forms such a beautiful allegory about trans, genderfluid individuals.

Ballister asks her to be a girl, but for whose sake? It’s only for the comfort of people who refuse to understand her, and would rather see her die than let her be herself. And it’s this widespread rejection and loneliness that has eventually made Nimona indifferent to pain, that makes her feel suicidal.

In the end, it is another member of the LGBTQ+ community that truly sees and accepts Nimona for who she is. And that should be a reminder that we cannot let them divide us. Trans people stood up for the rest of us and made historical change happen, and we need to do the same for them. Besides, cis queer people are only the “good ones” until they’re done with trans people and then will turn on us.

Thinking about how Starkid’s raised nearly half a million dollars for Cinderella’s Castle simply by being transparent about where their money goes, being nice to their fan base, hiring unproblematic, talented people, and creating good, original art
