#introject posting

[funlovingfuzzball]

I have Raie’s permission to write this out for her, so I’ll do that here. Using she/her only for Raie this time for simplicity, again with permission (-Miriam)

Technically, I suppose she’d count as “feral”, since she hatched on a ship in the middle of the ocean to a crew who had never met a dragon before and had no idea what to do with her. But even in those circumstances, she accepted a name and harness within hours of hatching, and as long as orders were given by her Captain, rather than the admiralty, she would unhesitatingly follow them unless they would put his life at risk.

Separately, her species was bred for centuries at least for the express purpose of being companions to the Chinese Imperial Family. Even the sole albino, who was seen as evil since she came out pure white rather than black or navy blue, was still given as a companion to a prince, since there were so few Celestials and the prince needed a companion, potential omen or not. Breeding was arranged by the palace, and was seen as simply a necessary task to put up with occasionally. With all that history, the thought of a Celestial fighting in the war was so unthinkable they tried to separate her from her Captain repeatedly, and she did everything in her power to prevent it each time it happened.

Of course, her Captain is long gone, and she sees no reason to listen to anyone who has not proven themselves equally worthy of her trust. She took his last name to honor him, but otherwise, she’s fully feral now. But for the time she had with her Lawrence, she was as domesticated as her species was intended to be - and while she would never go back to it with a new captain, she would go back in a heartbeat if she could have her Lawrence again. So I don’t know if she technically counts, given her current status as feral, but at some point in her past, I know she did. And I know that she only isn’t anymore because she could never replace her Captain, not because she hated or even disliked the life she lived. I hope her experience is still helpful for this.

Written by Miriam, on behalf of Raie Lawrence, a Temeraire fictive who identifies as a dragon therian

Looking for nontraditionally tame/domesticated therians!

A very good discussion was brought up on discord about the lack of recounts by therians who identify as tame/domesticated, but arent one of the traditionally domesticated species (cat, dog, horse, etc). Replies dont have to be an essay, just an acknowledgement or a couple paragraphs is fine :D

Wild and traditionally tame/domesticated therians are encouraged to reblog to reach a wider audience :3 This also includes “animalistic” creatures like dragons that have been pushed out of the term Therian (who 100% deserve to use it!)

[funlovingfuzzball]

Our dad, knowing nothing about our plurality *or* alterhumanity as far as we know: “Have you ever considered that you’re a dragon?”

Raie, a dragon fictive who identifies as a dragon therian, stuck alone in front and unable to lie: “I mean, I am, but how does this come up?”

Dad: “Well, if you sneeze and it knocks the paint off the wall, y’know…”

Raie, heart having started beating again: “Fair enough, I guess that would be true. I wasn’t going to disagree with you, I just needed context for how this came up”

Dad: “True, you always need your dragon to be in on the joke, don’t you?”

…

I mean, very affirming in an accidental fashion, but how on earth??? That was so weird. Neither I nor Miriam if I was able to front-trigger her can intentionally tell lies, so it’s not like I could say no, but also he wasn’t aware of any of the things that make me actually identify as a dragon, soooooo… glad we were able to play that one off as just playing along. Mom knows *about* therianthropy, though not our experience as such, and Dad’s certainly never heard of it in his life. Definitely very weirdly affirming though, lmao. 🐉🐉🐉

I adopted a kid and she already got lost on the subway. I should’ve gone with her.. man it’s easy to get a heartattack over your kids huh, now I get what Doctor Venture goes through

Ahhhhhhhh that is so motion-filled it’s amazing wow

This one’s not majorly system-focused, so it’s going on main. Disclaimer: this post is about an alter in a disordered system, but syscourse will not be tolerated on this post or blog. Do not send death or rape threats to anyone, never mind minors, no matter what they say on the internet. That is our public stance whenever we bring things into main tags, and we expect it to be understood as the most we will say on non-syscourse posts outside of the system stuff sideblog. Visit @too-many-cooks-in-the-headspace if you want to get bitten by the dragon about syscourse shit, or if you want to have a nice friendly discussion about system stuff. Singlets, plurals, all are welcome to chat.

So that tremendously fucked up intro aside, for which I probably should make a banner at some point, hi! Raie here. Temeraire introject, main protector, cataloguer of system stuff, you remember me. Anyway, as the only alter in here as far as any of us know who isn’t completely apathetic about pronouns, I figured I’d try out some things since I’m very not human and wanted to acknowledge that. Having sent an ask to another system for ideas (shoutout to @alicecorpseliddell, vorpal was very helpful), I’m thinking of trying out fy/fyr (“fee”/“fear”), dæ/dær (“day”/“dare”), and then gem/gems and claw/claws for nounself pronouns. She/her is still the collective pronouns, and I’m still happy with them too, I am female, I just wanted to diversify. So, she/fy/dæ/gem/claw are your options for me. Swapping them up is very nice, but also non-mandatory. Just don’t always use she/her. Also don’t call me a drake, major nope to that (idk why).

PS: If your device of choice can’t make the æ happen, dae/daer is fine, we don’t judge you for your keyboard problems because that would be shitty.

Some parts of coming out as a system are a little more awkward than others. Case in point, describing introjects’ sources to someone who knows the source extremely well but only learned what introjects are 5 minutes ago.

~~~~~~~

Reina, most of the way through valiantly trying to explain our system to our mom because I got swapped out somehow: Okay, so you’re going to laugh when I describe Raie.

Mom: Is she a dog?

Reina, losing her train of thought entirely: No? Huh? What?

Mom: I just mean, the article you had me read mentioned non-human alters, and you’ve mentioned feeling a tail wagging behind you…

Reina, increasingly unclear where this conversation is going to end up: Okay, so *no*, but you’re right that the tail is hers. But actually…

*Reina looks away in embarrassment because she knows full well Mom knows Raie’s source exceedingly well*

Actually she’s a… a Temeraire fictive.

Mom, looking a touch startled: Ah! So, like, I take it she’s one of the dragons?

Reina, neon red by now: Like I said, she’s a Temeraire fictive.

Mom: Ah, I see, so she’s *the* dragon. Got it.

Reina, muffled because her face is stuffed in a plushie: Yeeeeeeeeep.

Mom: I should reread that series then!

Reina, still extremely muffled: Oooooooooo-kay.

~~~~~~~

To be completely clear, Mom was super chill with Raie’s source, she just found it rather startling at first. Sorry Reina, that conversation was supposed to be my job. M’bad.

Oh fuck yes. Brain is exploding. Everyone else has been very flung out of even co-con and I’m sorry to them but this is fucking tremendous. Technically probably just aro and ace, but since bi-aesthetic and so forth are very very rare flags, we’re claiming the bi flag while still being ace. Even the ones that we aren’t, though, are so tremendously amazing and I’ve kinda lost the ability to think coherently

Happy pride month!! 🏳️‍🌈 Here’s some Toothless’ with some pride flags! :D

Flags from left to right> Rainbow, Bisexual, Transgender, Lesbian, Gay, Non Binary, Pansexual, Asexual, Aromantic, Genderfluid

We finished season 3 and I knew it would happen but still.. I’m not feeling great. 24 means so much to me and dude I just miss him yknow? Any asks to get my mind off of things would be rad, no obligation to

holding my OCs that haven't introjected very carefully so that I can continue to play with my dolls and hope that they do not turn into real boys like Pinocchio

[the-golden-gates-system]

Shout out to system with “scary” alters.

Systems with alters who would cause you to go to jail if they were allowed to do what they want.

Systems with alters who are violent.

Systems with alters who are addicts.

Systems with alters who are abusive.

Systems with alters who purposely hurt the body.

I see you. I feel you. We can heal too
