Posicgenic

[PT: Posicgenic]]

Posicgenic, also known as POSICgenic or POSIC+genic, is a -genic term defined as when a system or headmate's origin is influenced by their POSIC+ identity. This typically presents as: • A POSIC+ beholder identifying as plural due to their hoarde • A POSIC+ companion becoming a headmate • An already existing system introjecting their companion • Etc.

Hi guys! I forgot to post this when we coined it the other day. We wanted something to describe our experiences, and we couldn't find anything like it. Hopefully this will help someone else out there too!

The flag is inspired by the original POSIC flag colors, but with a little spin on it. Anyone on either side of syscourse is free to use this in good faith, so please don't start drama.

Moving around a lot as a kid didn't directly form the system for us, but Baz suspects the instability and lack of "home" during our early development contributed to the forming of our system when the abuse started...

Like we were at a disadvantage or more susceptible to splitting because we moved around so much before we were abused

If that makes sense?

The abuse formed the system. But home instability made it easier for the system to form...

Because it's hard to be "yourself" when you don't have the chance to find yourself, by making friends or feeling secure enough to "put down roots".

Always moving around, always having to adapt to new places and new people.

I don't know, I'm tired and kind of rambling at the moment 😅

Peripagenic

An adaptive origin term for systems formed from the stress of moving house/state/country multiple times over their life.

I was looking for origin terms that have something to do with constantly moving house and couldn't find anything so I thought I'd try my hand at making my own term. The flag was more for fun but I liked it so much I thought id share. This is for all of us who had parents that didn't understand a stable living situation is key for development lol

I also think this origin term could be used as a created type origin too if one felt they had more influence in their changes/intentionally changed themselves every move and it turned into something more. And honestly anyone who feels this fits in someway I wont gatekeep it

Some fun facts

The name is based on the word Peripatetic. Which means "traveling from place to place, in particular working or based in various places for relatively short periods."

The design is supposed to mimic looking at streetlight through the window of a car in the dark. I have astigmatism so its influenced by that unintentionally lol. But it also looks like when you take a picture of the lights. I tried to give it a sort of dreary but familiar color scheme. But its my first flag so how well i pulled this all off is debatable

The genus Silurian ("Person of the Silures", in reference to the historical territory of Wales in which they were first found) was initially known only from a single fossil, notable in part for the unusual object fossilized alongside it (1). Though this was generally accepted to simply be a large petrified stick, the "Silurian Artifact" and the associated "Silurian Hypothesis" were often a point of discussion in the topic of dinosaur intelligence and the theory of pre-human civilizations. It wasn't until large-scale mining operations began to impede on their extensive networks of stasis chambers that the Silurians themselves finally woke up and were able to meet humankind in person. To the surprise of many (and dismay of a few) the Silurians were not the scaled, humanoid "dinosauroids" so often depicted, but colorful, feathered, and relatively goose-shaped. Most Silurians who were present in the planet's underground represent the gentry and high ranking military, who were given priority in the earth-based shelters. Most others were evacuated on large, extensive spaceships, all of which are yet to return to Earth. Due to this, the varied mindsets and cultures of the Silurians are in shambles at best, largely replaced by the speciesism and real estate concerns of the upper classes. (1) Much later, the original type fossil was identified as Rohlik, a student who fell to his death after attempting to drunkenly pole vault over a ravine with a large petrified stick.

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

God it would rule to be an early 70s hitman, cruising up to the location in my black 1965 Lincoln Continental, getting out, black suit, sunglasses on a cloudy day, walking to the back to retrieve the briefcase with my disassembled rifle before heading inside to the vantage point. No expression, fully dead inside. The dream.

when people refer to canon story-relevant kingdom hearts games as ‘spinoffs’ it makes me sad not only for the obvious reasons i always say but also bc like man i WISH this series had spinoffs. imagine what they could do if they had permission from nomura to truly go off the rails and ignore the greater canon for a second and just do some fun whimsical plotless thing in an alternate universe. imagine a fishing/boating game on destiny islands. kh fighting game. it is an injustice that we have been deprived of kingdom karts. can anyone hear me

[intermundia]

i just read about the "narcissism of small differences," aka the idea that the more a community has in common, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and mutual ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences perceived in each other, and i knew there was a reason my time in academia and fandom felt oddly similar lmao

Kinda want to write a Spock POV post-fal-tor-pan fic where Spock sees Jim and is instantly whammed with the fact that he's in love with him, but still has no idea why or what that means, so he just goes around with a knot of love tangled in his mind, utterly baffled as to why it's there or how to figure it out. He can't ask the kolinahr adepts, because it feels un-vulcan, so instead he's just. confusedly pining the entire time.

Jim smiles sappily at him and Spock's like "My Heart Is Beating Faster. Why Is My Heart Beating Faster. There Is No Cause For My Heart To Be Beating Faster. Do I Have Tachycardia."

Spock, to McCoy: Doctor, is there history of heart disease in my family?

Bones, suspicious: Yes? Why? (already surreptitiously scanning Spock w/ a tricorder)

Spock: I have noticed concerning irregularities in my heart beat. They occur primarily around Admiral Kirk.

Bones, freezing: Repeat that for me, Spock?

Spock: I have noti-

Bones: No, not that, the next bit! Where they happen!

Spock: Ah. Around Admiral Kirk.

[FIVE MINUTES LATER]

Spock, annoyed: Doctor, cease laughing. I fail to understand what part of my medical condition you find so amusing.

Bones, still wheezing with laughter: Don't - don't you worry your little head about it, Spock. You're not sick, that's the important thing. (interrupts himself by laughing again) You'll (wheeze) figure it out eventually.

(Spock, disgruntled, gives up on him and leaves.)

(McCoy keeps laughing for another ten minutes.)

I do wonder if people who used to constantly complain about "filler" are finally happy now if they're enjoying the state of television series or if they're now complaining that tv shows only have 8 episodes per season like the rest of us

[incorrectbatfam]

Concept:

A workplace sitcom (a la B99 or The Office) that takes place at Wayne Enterprises. The plot centers around a bunch of people who are nobodies in the superhero world. There are still references to heroes and the batfam makes the occasional cameo. But all of that is secondary to Ryan from the help desk missing an important call to eavesdrop on Jamie from sales meeting with an attractive client because the main character of these shows is always a 30-year-old with ADHD who can't communicate feelings to save the world

EDIT: Yes I know about Powerless. I could do it better and not get canceled after 1 season though
