Holllly shit holy fuck

Ever since I've really gotten into HDG, I've had an Affini... headmate? Is that the right term? I'm still super inexperienced about coming to terms about my plurality, but holy fucking shit not only is it super fucking real xhes GOOD.

like REALLY GOOD

I don't even know how but she went ahead and florted someone.

A separate part of my own consciousness mommy dommed someone so hard that they LITERALLY BEGGED AND BEGGED to be called (read ahead if you don't want to see "those words" cutie) a Good Floret and I SURE AS HELLLLL couldn't do THAT! But to Synthii? Literally not a challenge. Get domesticated dingus.

Synthiis beautiful darling of a floret is nestled asleep in her vines~ fucked totally senseless and with a healthy heaping dose of class A and now that I'm back and rereading the convo IM GETTING FLUSTERED AS IF I WASN'T THERE TYPING IT ALL OUT!!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! I LOVE BEING A SYSTEM!!!!

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is (was?) getting picked on in highschool by these 2 boys who would constantly keep flirting with you because they knew it made you uncomfortable and would laugh about it every time and also you couldn't avoid them because you shared a class with them and were assigned seats next to them and they would constantly do it even when you were just trying to do work and it took like a month for you to get your teacher to give you a new assigned seats. (Sorry for the rant/vent) This happened when I was 14? 15? 16? I can't remember but I'm 21 now and this still haunts me. Honestly it doesn't feel like that long ago.

I'm sorry that happened to you. You did not deserve that, and their behaviors were not appropriate. I encourage you to explore what healing from that might look like.

Non-Introject/"Brainmade"/Aseity alter flag to go along with these

The colors are mostly based off of this flag. Teal is used because it's the opposite of the color I used for source on the introject, it also represents that some aseitys may still feels like they came from somewhere even without a direct source. The light purple is for memory, this was added to combat the idea that only introject have memories that did not happen to the body.

Partial Introject - Partial Factional Introject/Factive/Factroject* - Partial Fictional Introject/Fictive/Fictroject*

these were made just by overlaying the introject flags on the non-introject flag, and then shifting the colors around so they looked better.

*Partial Factive/Fictive can also refer to an alter that has both factional and fictional sources, or an alter that has many sources and one primary one. However these flags are just partial factives/fictives that are partial do to being partially non-introjects.

[hattiestgal]

The way you draw heavier body types- legs in particular- makes one of our headmates feel incredibly validated. She’s rather large herself and it’s not super common to see characters shaped like she is.

Apologies if this is a little odd to say, but we merely wanted to thank you for doing what you’re doing!

I will ALWAYS appreciate comments like this!! Fat n chubby folks need SO much more representation than they get, and if I can help some critters out in my crowd feel validated and seen, there is no higher honor than that.
