#note from 🌩: decided to include the emojis of everyone who's introduced themselves thus far

[the-storm-collective]

Hi hi... we're the storm collective. A questioning median system. We could be a system, or we could be a really confused singlet. This blog is us trying to figure that out. We figured that if we are a system, then maybe acting as though we are could help us discover this for certain. And if we're not, then we figured that acting like one will help us rule that out.

Bodily, we are 21. We have autism, adhd, ocd, depression, and a couple of anxiety disorders.

We are uncertain what our origin is, so don't ask. We also don't want to get involved in any discourse. We believe that endo systems are valid, and those systems are welcome on this blog. If you disagree, just move on. Don't engage us in discourse. We don't have the energy for that.

Collectively, we identify as genderfluid and asexual. A lot of us are also on the aromantic spectrum. It should also be noted that a couple of us do not identify as asexual, and not all of us are actually genderfluid, but we figured that collectively identifying as genderfluid would be easiest, especially considering our core is genderfluid, and most of us have very different genders anyway. We also figured that, since most of us are asexual, it would be easiest to collectively identify as asexual. Plus, our allosexual facets are fine with this, as long as they are not individually called asexual.

We'll probably try to use different emojis depending on who's fronting. Storm will only use their emoji if they are the only one fronting since they are always fronting.

Information on the different facets and our core is below the cut.

Hi, I'm Storm, and I'm the core of the system. I'm always fronting, though sometimes one of the other facets will co-front with me. I'm genderfluid and pronounfluid, but they/them is usually a safe bet. My other pronouns are he/him, she/her, it/its, and voi/void. My pronouns and gender are often influenced by who else in the system is fronting with me, if anyone. I'm asexual and greyromantic and experience exclusive attraction toward women. Please don't call me a lesbian, though, as that label causes me dysphoria. My hobbies include drawing, writing, reading, playing video games, and playing my cello. I am an extremely introverted nerd. I'm the same age as the body, 21. My emoji is 🌧

Hey, I'm Thunder. I'm genderfaun and use he/him and they/them pronouns. I'm aroace. I like playing video games and obsessing over fictional characters. I'm also 21. I'm the one who co-fronts with Storm most frequently. My emoji is 🌩

Hi, I'm Ember! I'm a demigirl and I use she/they pronouns. I'm an asexual lesbian! I like buff women 🥰 I'm also 21. I love drawing and writing and reading and playing video games and singing. My emoji is ❤️‍🔥

I'm Sheo :))) I'm an ageless fictive of Sheogorath from the elder scrolls. My gender is Insanity, and I don't care what pronouns you use. Most use he/him for me, but I don't mind other pronouns. My sexuality is also Insanity. I'm one of the few facets who isn't strictly asexual, though I am probably still acespec (as well as arospec). I'm one of the most impulsive of all of us, so you'll get a lot of random shit when I'm fronting. My emoji is 😏

The other facets haven't fronted since we started making this post a couple of months ago, so we (Storm and Thunder, the two currently fronting) will be writing brief intros for them. They will likely change these intros themselves when they front.

Melody is a bisexual bigender nonbinary woman who uses she/they pronouns. They were originally an oc, but we're pretty sure she's a part of our system now. They are somewhere between 25 and 35. They're very assertive and significantly less anxious than most of the other facets. Until she chooses their own emoji, hers will be 🎶

Not much is known about Alex, but he is assumed to be genderfluid and switches between he/him, she/her, and possibly they/them. We are unsure if she is a fictive of Alex Fierro, if he just really likes Alex Fierro, or if she just really likes the name Alex. Until he chooses her own emoji, his will be 🌌

Indigo originally started out as an oc, but we're pretty sure they're now a part of our system. They are genderfluid and switch between they/them, he/him, and she/her. They are 22. They are quiet and sad but they are also very kind. Until they choose their own emoji, theirs will be ✨️

Charlie started out as our self-insert Hero of Kvatch (the player character in Oblivion) but has since developed their own personality separate from the rest of us. They are technically genderfluid, but their gender is almost always nonbinary and they almost always prefer they/them pronouns. They are arospec and acespec and experience exclusive attraction toward men. They love all things magic. They are 42 years old. They're very confident most of the time and are not afraid to voice their opinion. Until they choose their own emoji, theirs will be ⚡️

Loki is a fictive of the Marvel character (most likely comics Loki and not mcu Loki). He is genderfluid and bisexual and switches between he/him, she/her, and they/them. She loves to read and cause mischief. Until they choose his own emoji, hers will be 💚

Astrid is another oc that we're pretty sure might be part of our system. She is 18 years old and is our token cis girl, but she is very much a tomboy. She is bi, demiromantic, and demisexual. She is very morbid and obsessed with death. She does love flowers, though, and is fascinated by life. She is also one of the more sensory sensitive facets and hates being touched. Until she chooses her own emoji, hers will be 🥀

Avoni was originally a Morrowind oc, but she might be a facet now. She is trans and uses she/her pronouns. She always strives to be kind. She is bi and aspec. Until she chooses her own emoji, hers will be 💖

If we discover any other facets, we will update this post. We like to say that we "absorb" the personalities of our favorite characters so there will probably be more fictives in the future, and there may even already be fictives not listed here that we haven't discovered or recognized as part of our system. We have a lot of names that we will prefer at different times, but we're not yet sure if these names are separate facets or if some of our facets just like multiple names.

Most of us do tend to have similar personalities and interests (though not exactly alike, which is why we think we're a median system), and the fact that Storm is not very self-aware (or really anything-aware) will make it difficult for him to properly identify different facets and whether or not they are fronting with them (it's okay though, Storm, we still love you anyway lol -🌩).

We are all mostly okay with being collectively referred to as Storm. That's why we named ourselves the Storm collective (and also because Storm is the only one you're guaranteed to be talking to when you are talking to us).

We apologize for how long this post got and how disorganized it is 😅 The two of us who did most of the work on this post (Storm and Thunder) are very bad at organization and organizing our thoughts. Come to think of it, we're uncertain if any of us are good at that. We blame the adhd lol. Anyway, if you interact with us (which we don't expect, but who knows), then please check this post from time to time, especially if you see a new emoji (that most likely means that either we have a new facet or one of our currently identified facets has changed their emoji).

Anyway, peace out!
