[mossy-grove-system]

Hello everyone, I'm the host, Bunny/Grimm.

We're a questioning traumagenic or endogenic system called the Mossy Grove System, and we collectively use they/them pronouns. This is an introduction to all of us as of now! (This may be updated/added to ♡♡♡♡♡)

I'm Bunny/Grimm and go by she/they/it pronouns. I love everything arts and science, and hope to one day become a famous movie/tv show actress and a polyglot! I am going to add notes to everyone's intros :3

Also, I'm the host and front all or most of the time ♡

《 Hello. I am Elizabeth/Eliza :3 》

《 I use she/they/it pronouns 》

《 I love bows and the colour pink. I hope we get along. I find comfort in organisation and manners. I don't talk much, but typing is okay. Thank you 》

Bunny Note: Elizabeth is our comforter and protector, and they have the best garden ever! She tends to talk in chat bubbles with emojis in our inner world, and doesn't like to front/hasn't fronted before.

Hey you guys who read this!!! I'm Sakura! I'm wonderfully cheerful and positively excited to exist, generally. I use she/her pronouns! I super love picnics and cherry blossom trees and toasted marshmallows and chocolate and strawberries!

Bunny Note: Sakura is also a comforter, and she does a great job of looking after everyone! She loves to co-front, and will quite often do so. Also, she loves gossiping.

Hey, I'm Alex and I use he/they pronouns. I'm not great with intros, but I'm punk and like to belt out music. I like co-fronting, but don't do it often.

Bunny Note: My brother, also a protector, and gets in trouble for swearing a lot.

I'm Dr34m3r. Known by many other names as well. I use he/they and like the rain.

Bunny Note: Dr34m3r lives behind a waterfall, which is so cool. He's an emotion holder (mostly deals with sadness, depression, anxiety, etc). They don't tend to front unless dealing with negative emotions/states.

Heyyyyyyyyy~ I'm Neon. I started as hosts' OC/persona, so yeah. Here I am. I use they/it pronouns :)

Bunny Note: Neon is a trauma holder and emotion holder (in a sense - they deal with the extreme negative emotions, or deal with stuff that happens to do with extreme negative emotional/physical/mental states etc) and we love them, but they are sometimes unsafe to have fronting or co-fronting, so we have to supervise.

< I'm Watcher >

< I use they/it pronouns>

Bunny Note: Watcher doesn't speak much, and tends to lurk around the shadows. They seem to really like forests, and Eliza's garden (same)

1'm Miku. She/They/It/Nuclear pr0nouns. Please resp3ct them.

Bunny Note: Miku is fairly new to the system, and lives on the outskirts of the inner world. She seems to enjoy fronting or co-fronting, but doesn't speak much. She has her own account here as per her own request, so follow her if you so desire: @xxdystopianmikuxx

(Bunny again ♡)

Annnnnnd that's all of us. We hope to get to know everyone, and have some fun here ♡

P.S. We'll update this intro as we get to know ourselves and our space better ♡♡♡♡♡

[mossy-grove-system]

Woah that's pretty damn crazy my guy

I super want that though

(Me too ♡)

[marblehornetskinfessions]

y'know, it's kind of funny to me that neither i nor my brian friend know what alex's music taste was. of course i know brian's music taste, he was my best friend. and also kept blasting abba in my ear at odd hours of the night, but that's besides the point. (thanks, brian.) i just remembered that my jay liked shoeglaze music this week, which is funny, because i don't remember very much of my jay. but alex? nah. i don't think he liked listening to music in the car (both the times i remember being in the same vehicle as him the music was really low. so. there's that). i might muse on it more but i honestly cant place what alex listened to.

[mossy-grove-system]

This this this!!!!

We have been engaged in the plural community for years, started off anti-endo, and then discovered we were literally an endogenic system, and had to revisit previois ideas and views, and ended up being pro-endo

Whether we have trauma or not, it doesn't matter (we've only recently come to realise, recognise, and accept this) because we know that we are a system! And I love my system friends :3

As awareness of plurality continues to spread online, that also means more and more people will realize they are plural. And unfortunately, there will be a response from certain gatekeepy exclusionist types, who will push back against these newfound systems and insist on invalidating them. They’ll insist they’re just hopping on a trend, or just fooling themselves, or whatever other justification they can make up to maintain the idea that being plural is extremely rare and being plural means suffering for it.

Don’t fall for it. Being plural presents challenges and difficulties without question, but being plural also can bring joys and clarity that weren’t possible otherwise. Being plural can be hard, and it can be beautiful.

No two systems present and function exactly the same ways. No two systems are plural for the exact same reasons. So we can’t expect there to be an absolute common trait present in every system. So any attempt to weed out the “fakers” is pointless and malicious.

If someone believes themself to be plural, they have good reason to. No further “proof” needed. If someone comes to us believing themself to be plural, we will help them along without critique or question. And above all we will be happy for them. Even if someday they realize they aren’t plural, that process of being allowed to question and experiment is so important, and they should be allowed to do so regardless of where they end up.

Plurality is a spectrum that encompasses a vast swathe of experiences and outlooks. It can be difficult to reckon with, which is why community is so vital. And as that community online grows and becomes more and more visible, we should all do our part, systems and singlets, to make sure these newfound systems feel safe, seen, and welcome.

KITURRU . 💗

Kiturru is a small stimblr blog ran by a minor bodied system!! We offer:

- Headcanon posts [Sexuality/Gender, Kintype, Pet regression, Age regression etc]. - Userboxes &/or banners - Moodboards & Stimboards - Possibly more [Send an ask to see if we do it!]

As stated before, we are a DID system! We all have different boundaries, and they will be stated on their introductions. We enjoy many different things, and cannot make a whitelist at the moment. However, we may make individual ones on our intros! Info about individuals active on this blog can be found here [WIP]! This also lists our request signoffs :]]!

Murru is currently doing a Pokémon stimboard challenge where they try to do as many Pokémon as possible, it’s greatly appreciated if you could request some! It and their progress can be found here!

Murru also has an animalia tag, the explanation can be found here. In short, it is biology related.

Our tag system will be similar to this [using Alex as an example]: #alex’s posts, #alex’s rb, #alex’s events + related tags like #blue #red.

We currently do not have an anon list, but feel free to send multiple anonymous requests! Using a emoji or a fake name is preferable, but I don’t really mind. It’s just so we can recognise frequentersss! ^_^

We may also occasionally post sysblr stuff, and occasionally post some opinions/interests.

additional stances bellow . dnr if you don't like discourse .

We are PROFICTION. This means anti harassment towards fiction. We do not use proship tags to avoid our anti moots getting onto the proship side of tumblr, aswell as the fact we do not call ourselves proship, as we aren’t confident the label fits us [if proship is on your dni but not profic, we may interact]. We simply call ourselves profiction and dead dove, as we do not care for fictional discourse. Ship what you want, indulge in what you want, as long as it stays fictional. We do not encourage interaction of poppytwt, or illegal shipping of real people. If we post anything that may be triggering, it will be tagged correctly and there will be a cutoff and warnings. If you decide to ignore these warnings, it is not our fault. We have a tag for dark fiction content if you wish to filter that out,, it’s #kiturru df . A more in depth explanation about why we call ourselves profic and not proship can be found here.

We encourage you to block us if we make you uncomfortable. We will do the same! We try to read dnis, but some things slip past us. If this is a big issue for you, use the block button.

TLDR; We are profic. This blog is dead dove. Everything will be tagged correctly - and cuts + tws will be provided.

[mossy-grove-system]

Some really interesting debunking here /genpos

Sakura's disappointed that someone so very aesthetic could be so very misinformed/ignorant/etc

Here's Ableist AspenFrostEN Trying To Pack as Much Misinformation and Ableism As She Can Into One Minute:

This sentence is, perhaps, the one and only true thing in this entire video.

Oh, please do enlighten me, Aspen!

I mean, sure, created systems are a thing. Tulpas are the main example of this and the ones that have been studied the most. But there are created systems that aren't tulpas, such as in daemonism.

Also, plenty of traumagenic DID systems have intentionally created alters too, so it's weird to make "people who believe that you can force yourself to have alters" an endogenic system thing.

ALSO, basically no tulpagenic system I know actually uses the word "alter" to describe their headmates.

While most endogenic systems are plural without a disorder, it's bizarre to use this as your definition instead of just "an endogenic systems is plural without trauma" as it's actually defined.

Founded entirely on Tumblr???

Aspen, dear...

Are you... capable of reading? Here's the paragraphs you're looking at. Notice how it says natural system predated the word endogenic?

Yes, the word endogenic was first used on Tumblr... as a replacement of "natural system" or "natural multiple" that dated back to the 90s, before you were even born!

Here's one site mentioning natural multiples in their glossary in 2003:

And here's the origin in a page dated for 1998:

You clearly know NOTHING about the plural history that you're rambling on about.

And how am I only 20 second into this???

What do you consider a medical consensus again?

The World Health Organization's ICD-11, the diagnostic handbook used around the world, explicitly states that you can experience multiple "distinct personality states," the characterizing feature of DID according to it, without having a mental disorder:

That's the World Health Organization's official handbook!!!

I'm not sure what more of a consensus you need.

But I'll add that Tulpamancy is acknowledged as a real psychological phenomenon by Dr. Samuel Veissiere, psychiatry professor at McGill University.

And Dr Eric Yarbough, Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association has stated that you can be plural without trauma or a disorder in a book reviewed and published by the American Psychiatric Association.

And these claims are undisputed. There is no peer reviewed paper by any psychiatrist that has claimed you need trauma or a mental disorder to be plural.

Now, onto the next round of misinformation!

I recognize that page! That's DID-research! A glorified blog that convinced an entire generation that OSDD-1a and OSDD-1b were actual medical terms for disorders they could be diagnosed with!

(Spoiler: The aren't!)

Is that so?

It would probably be really inconvenient for this narrative if the creators of the theory of structural dissociation ALSO have said it may be possible people to form self-conscious dissociative parts of the personality without trauma, huh?

I mean, something like that would just completely destroy everything you're trying to sell and make you look even more like a hack who has no idea what she's talking about, wouldn't it?

...

...

...

This paper is by two of the authors of the Haunted Self, which I probably shouldn't need to tell you since you're so knowledgeable about plurality, is the book that created the theory of structural dissociation of the personality.

Even the creators of the theory you're citing are saying plurality could have other causes.

Wouldn't that require you to actually know what endogenic systems actually believe? Or, you know, literally anything about plural history? Or anything at all? 🤔

Now we're back to ableist Aspen having no idea what Schizophrenia is and using it as an insult. 🙄

Aspen is not hiding her intent. Her goal is to spread hate, to come into our communities and bully us.

Aspen is a liar, a bully and an abuser.

But I hope I've also demonstrated pretty thoroughly that on top of that, she also incredibly ignorant.

She's ignorant of psychiatry. She's ignorant of plural history.

Every word out of her mouth on this topic is a lie she made up, and hopes her followers will be gullible enough to swallow, because while she may act confident in her misinformation, the fact is that she doesn't know anything about what she's talking about.

something that makes me sad listening to old episodes of knowledge fight is their signoff used to be naming someone who probably hasn't killed anyone in contrast to alex who technically probably has. but that's not so funny anymore now that alex absolutely has killed people with his antimask and antivax narratives
