Hi, I'm Clockworths

About me:

Mixed (Black & White) So- *GRAY*

AuDHD (Both Autistic & ADHD)

FtM Trans

Gay as hell~

Plural (of Protogenic & Gateway origins)

Collectively & Externally Polyamorous

Aromantic

Hypersexual

A Furry

Someone who cusses a lot

Someone who enjoys Dark Humor

Pagan & a VERY spiritual person

I also have synethesia (Lexical Gustatory being the main one) that plays into my spiritual, plural, and physical senses.

More about me:

I am an Artist. I like to Draw/Sketch, Animate, & 3D Model. I am a Musician, I play(ed) French Horn and I make my own compositions [with the help of circlemates of course].

Pronouns are He/Him, despite being plural we DO NOT use They/Them, unless if it's under the context of both me and someone else in my circle being mentioned. They/Them is not my Default.

We don't have a system name nor do we refer to ourselves as a "system". We prefer to be called Collective, Co, and/or Circle instead. Clockworths& is also fine.

Usually a maximum of 10 people are active a time, and they can also exchange or altrnate roles overtime. I don't have an exact member count of my circle because for one it's huge; it contains multiverses upon multiverses of people, and two, it fluctuates all the time anyway.

We are very fictive heavy. Sources include:

Cuphead (of course)

MLP based universes

Deltarune

Undertale AUs

Wreck-it Ralph

Arcane

(We love talking to doubles too.)

Most if not, all of us are non-human, ranging from mythological creatures to anthropromorphic humanoid creatures. Most of us identify as spirits, guardian angels and dimensional or celestial beings.

Call us 'cringe' (if you haven't already) but a few of us are god/deity kin including myself. The identity makes sense with the role I have within the collective. We don't care what anyone else external to us thinks or says of it, we've come to solid terms with our identities.

We have a DNI in our description. Please consider it before further engagment with us. If you have any questions about what I've listed in my DNI or if you need clarification on what is stated, please DM us about it.

If anything listed is a hard deal breaker, please do not engage if you fall under these, simply block us to avoid conflict.

Overall just don't try and push your reality onto us or tell us how we should go about our lives, mkay?😉

Oh, and if you're against people who experience system hopping/sharing feel free to block us.🙂

We also have a boundary and expectation for those who exclusively use it/it's pronouns if they'd ever want to interact with us. Please read this too if you apply to that.

Please respect my wishes and say nothing to me, if you see anyone cooking up hogwash about us on any social media platform. [i.e. r/systemcringe, sysmeds on tumblr, twitter, tiktok, youtube, etc.]

How I'll use my account:

I would like to share my plural experience for the most part. I will talk about being trans, autistic, and a person of color too. I will occasionally talk about politics, rights/activism and light syscourse, though I don't enjoy it. I'm kind of sucked into it everywhere I go anyways given I'm a bunch of minorities all at once.

I'll only talk about the political activism and syscourse/discourse if it's nagging at my brain but other than that, usually my posts will be random, plural related, or just me vent posting and shit posting. So please be prepared and aware of that.

I will not be using "TWs" or "CWs" regularly on my account either, only when I put content under tags that use them often. I will only put warnings/disclaimers for common triggers (i.e. Blood/Gore, Death, SA, CSA, rape. etc) in a similar manner to how Movie/TV Ratings are used.

This sounds a lot like soulbonding or gateway systems? System hopping is usually traveling to another physical system, not a metaphysical place. In which case, it is possible to create that connection but as Sophie said, there is a chance of getting more headmates.

Here's two resources that we know talk more about the phenomenon:

https://soulbondinginfo.carrd.co/#

https://kinhost.org/Main/GatewaySystems

howdy! would you happen to have anything on system hopping / travelling / whatever is going on here lol

we have a Lot of fictives, and many miss their home world. could it be possible to, say, create a way for them to travel between their source and the innerworld? if that makes sense? im personally lost on whats going on atm inside and are too preoccupied to check the details

anyways, thats mostly me speculating that thats whats happening here right now (or at least something like it), and i dont know where to even begin looking for information or help for this sorta thing

I'm sorry, I don't.

Like I mention in my pinned, my opinion on plurality is as a psychological phenomenon. From that view, you can replicate some parts of their homes in your inner world, but never quite recreate the real thing.

When I first became self-aware, I did try going back to my world in our inner world. It's a bit easier when the world was created by my host. But I tried not to interact with anyone too much there for fear that we could end up with another headmate. The limited interactions with the NPCs there did bring some comfort though, so it could be helpful for you to consider with them.

I think sometimes though, it's best to mourn the past and be willing to move on. Form new connections with their system and with external people in this world if they want. It will probably be healthier than living in a mental shadow of their former world.

I'd suggested finding other blogs for advise on metaphysical system travel or reality shifting.

Sysmeds should not get to write the narrative about us on this platform!

Scrolling through the tags, it seems like a great deal of what's said about us on tumblr is either sysmeds trying to make us look bad or all-encompassing plural blogs that just say everyone is valid (which is great! and these blogs should keep doing what they're doing! but it would be nice to have some more frequent endo (and other) representation on here too!)

Either my tumblr algorithm just sucks major balls, or most endos, tulpas, spiritual systems and other non-sysmed-approved systems get scared off of this platform because of how many loud hateful voices there are compared to how few people there are who we can relate to. (like most of the cool-looking accounts i can relate to that i find are dead and so is my blog for the same reason lol).

SO! Let's do a thing. If you are endogenic, parogenic, a tulpamancy system, a spiritual system, a daemien, or any other kind of system that sysmeds try to silence, reblog this post with answers to these questions to tell tumblr what our lived experiences as plurals are REALLY like!

(Feel free to pick and choose which questions you want to answer, or just come up with your own and tag them under #endovoices or substitute endo for whatever kind of system you are! Also, feel free to just reblog with one answer at a time, or to just answer the questions in a standalone post; no need to credit me, I just want more systems sharing their experiences!)

1. What kind of system are you? (Describe this in any way you like. No need to use -genic or popular terms if you don't want to)

2. How many of you are there?

3. How long have you known about your plurality?

4. What kind of spaces/communities do you/did you hang out in? (Both plural-relevant and non-plural-relevant spaces are valid answers, past and present)

5. Had you heard of DID/OSDD/DDNOS before you became plural/discovered your plurality?

6. Do you have a wonderland/innerworld? If so, what do you call it, and what are some things that you and your system members do there?

7. What do you call your system members?

8. If you're plural but don't use the word "system" to describe you&, what word do you use?

9. What are some of the best things about being plural?

10. What are some of the not-so-great things about being plural? (Any answer is valid- nothing is too minor or too major to be an answer to this question.)

11. Do you have a spiritual or psychological view of your plurality?

12. Do you ever experience "switching" or "posession" or any sort of change in who controls the body? If so, what do you call it, how easy/difficult is it, and what is it like? Were you always able to do this, or did you have to learn how over time?

13. How do you and your system mates relate to each other? (Are you friends, family, romantically involved, caretakers, etc.)

14. Have you come out to anybody in real life/in a singlet space about your plurality? How did it go?

15. What kinds of forms and appearances do your system members take on?

16. What are you and your system members interested in?

17. What is your life like in the meatworld?

18. What are your music tastes? Movies? Favorite colors? Animals? List any other favorites as well

19. Does your system have a host/original? If so, what do you call them? Explain what role they play in your system

20. Do any system members have notable relationships outside of the system? Explain them!

21. If you haven't been plural for your entire life/haven't known about your plurality until later in life: what was life like before plurality compared to life now?

22. If you chose to become plural: why? What has changed since then?

23. Is there anything you'd like to say to the plural community at large?

24. Is there anything you'd like to say to any singlets reading this post?

That is all I've got for now, but feel free to add any more you want to share! Please remember to be respectful to all system types if you post, I do not support bashing or invalidating of any system types. I will also reblog with my own answers soon.

(Note: these questions are not in order of priority or importance, I just wrote them down as I came up with them. Feel free to answer out of order and skip or add whatever you want!)

Also this should go without saying but making any rude sysmeddy responses to this will just result in being blocked and totally ignored, so don't even start, there's no point. The block button is right there.

Have fun everyone!

What’s a gateway system? And what’s fiction kin? Why are they tagging this stuff under system tags wtf??

Can someone please explain this

[clockworths]

It's been hard to find that sweet spot where I wish to fully immerse myself within the reality I experience and the things I believe without masking while at the same time not letting those things (as neurotypicals would call it;) "consume me" or "disrupt my functionality on the 'real world'."

I'm really tired of their ideal expectation of what it means to be "sane" being shoved down my throat, tainting my own perspective and beliefs by trying to repress everything I experience for the sake of their comfortability. Their fear seems to matter more than my authenticity and I'm livid over it.

I want to casually talk about the happenings within my circle and what happens in different head spaces and universes without being seen as "maladaptive", "unstable" or "not in the right mindset". Or hell it's impossible for anyone to talk about themselves without being seen as "self-absorbed" how else would you get to know someone without talking about yourself? We love Q&A's and being asked quesitons about how we relate to our source, what our worlds are like, and what's going on with us at every given moment, it's not a sensitive subject for us as it seems to be for most. But apparently craving such interactions is too much for people.
