Do yoi have any tips for building a system and wotking on differeniating parts?

Yes , Hir Majesty does !

୨ৎ　How to Build a System . . .

( Your Idol will be using alter language for this section )

┄ First , Do research. In order to be a system you must know what a system is and how they work. Join system discord servers as a singlet or scroll the plural tumblr tags.

┄ Flesh out your body info. What age is the body? What does it look like? What disorders or disabilities does it have?

┄ Next , What’s the system like? Is it small , average , polyfragmented? What’s the innerworld like? What types of alters inhabit it? What genic is the system?

┄ Think of possible problems said alters would have with the body. Is it too short? Is its hair too long? Could any alters have species , gender , age , race , or other dysphoria?

୨ৎ　How to Differentiate Parts . . .

( Doll Who Meows will be using part language for this section )

┄ Using PluralKit or SimplyPlural helps greatly in Immortal De ' s experience. Letting parts front and use their PluralKit proxy works grand.

┄ Let parts be different. They can use typing quirks , specific phrases or slang , different emoticons or emojis , make spotify playlists , make tumblr blogs , make Pinterest boards , etc.

┄ Start a system journal. This helps tell how parts respond to eachother , situations , and people. It also gives a handwriting for each part.

Hi! So, we heard you're a willogenic system and wondered if maybe your experiences could help with our own?

Basically, we're a median monoconscious system made up of primarily facets. We struggle to tell ourselves apart but we want to work towards functional multiplicity.

Do you think your tactics on fleshing out / adding detail to your willomates (hope it's okay if we call them that) would be helpful for us to differentiate ourselves from each other?

Thank you so much ^_^ you guys are awesome :D

Hello!!! we’d love to help ^^

and yeah! i think it could work :3

the ways that we used to flesh out our willogenic headmates also worked on our self formed endogenic and stressgenic headmates :D which makes me think that it would be pretty useful for others non-willogenic systems/alters :3

some of our most useful things we do is have a list of all of us and information on all of us (name, pronouns, genders, sexualities, personality traits, features, and other things to note), make picrews once in a while of everyone on the list to see if there are any changes yall are able to see, if you have even a small bit of an inner world (like we do) try to imagine everybody doing everyday things (it helps with visualization, possible communication, fleshing out personalities, and bonding) when you have down time (we like to do this as we fall asleep, usually getting into a big cuddle pile, lmao), and try to get a count on how many of you there are, also try to give everyone a name, even if it is temporary and will change (its just a placeholder and may help to see what their preferences in names are), and drawing a simple idea of what everyone looks like helps a lot - even if its not the most accurate it still just gives you a general idea

i hope these can help ya :DD

and yall sound awesome toooo!! ^^

Ask games are great for helping figure things out about your headmates! It also helps you figure out how a headmate speaks/interacts internally and externally!

Religion and Plurality - Some general tips

I was reading some articles earlier and realised that there's very few general resources regarding possible religious clashes ,and the general day-to-day communication within polyreligious systems. Bearing in mind this is all objective advice from our own experiences, and certain aspects won't apply to all systems.

General tips:

If any alter has specific religious daily rites or phrases that need to be spoken (all the Abrahamic religions include such phrases and rites, but they occur in other religions too), discuss with the system surrounding what protocol is regarding this.

Setting up a ''religion station'' if you live in a situation where that's possible can be helpful to keep track of everything and provide a space for all your alters to practise safely.

If you have a personal calendar, encourage alters to write down any rites/rituals they need taken care of in the event they aren't fronting.

Subtlety and safety:

If you're bodily in a situation where you feel obliged or pressured to take part in certain religious ceremonies and everyday rites, discuss this with the system and explain the situation. It's always better to choose discomfort over a potentially unsafe situation, generally - but this will be a system-wide decision.

If different members of the system practise different 'structured' religions, look into online worship or religious online communities. All the major religions have easily accessible platforms that you can access discreetly, and all religious holy books can be found for free via google.

If you're still in school, if caught practising something outside of your bodily culture, a good excuse can be that you're researching for a project or culture day.

For Wiccans and witchcraft practitioners, checking the ''broom closet'' tags on tumblr or elsewhere can be a lifesaver - they're full of tips for those who wish to practise discreetly.

If you have alters with different religious dietary needs, vegetarianism can be a good solution - it covers most major religion's dietary needs, and can help cover up any 'inconsistencies'' to the outside world (ie. one headmate eating pork, one eating halal or another keeping kosher.)

For religious pendants/charms, a piece of paper with the relevant symbol can make a placeholder that's easy to destroy in a pinch.

Conclusion:

This will likely be updated as I think of more tips and tricks, if anyone wants to recommend anything, or ask for any specific advice, just let us know.

Writing tip: if it feels like one of your characters just doesn't have enough going on in their arc, ask yourself if this problem would be fixed by them discovering that they're actually a system. Or by them becoming a system – either works. Plurality is a surefire spice of life in stories, after all!

Tips for systems who have alters with those sources

Listen, we've all interacted systems who have alters from those sources at least once. Y'know the ones; sources that aren't so kind.

This can be a struggle for those in said system as it can distress the system and other's due to the alter's source being upsetting. This post is for those system who have said alters and, more specifically, some tips to help or encourage the alter to disconnect from the source. Tips below cut!

1. Discussion ‧₊˚⊹‧₊˚⊹

First, talk with them. Tell them what makes their source problematic/distressing. Make sure they know that their source and their identity is an upsetting topic and why it's best that they change how they view the source and that they should disconnect from the source and develop a new, separate identity that isn't their previous one.

It's best to think this over beforehand and possibly write/type it down and finalize it before actually saying it. Don't be too aggressive and try to keep the tone neutral as to not make the alter feel pressured or like they need to defend themselves.

2. Support ‧₊˚⊹‧₊˚⊹

Changing their identity can be very difficult as they are essentially abandoning everything about themselves which can be distressing and upsetting. It's best to make sure that they know that they have a 24/7 support system and that they can ask questions if they need help or are stuck on how to shift into an entirely different person.

3. Identity ‧₊˚⊹‧₊˚⊹

Help them look at terms for genders, orientations, etc to help them figure out what to identify as while turning into this new and improved version of themself. Use their interests and features to find neopronouns that they could possibly use. Browse multiple communities beyond gender and orientation; such as the nonhuman community.

4. Avoiding ‧₊˚⊹‧₊˚⊹

Help them avoid things that relate to their source such as others from that same source, content from that source, etc. Specify publicly that people should avoid certain topics and that it could harm their recovery progress. If people insist on interacting with you and bringing up the source, immediately block them; If they can't acknowledge boundaries then they won't be acknowledged at all.

Hope this helps!!! If anybody needs any specific tips, I'm more than happy to help as your Tumblr big brother(s)!!!!!!! My inbox and messages are open 24/7 <3

System tips! (Anti-Endos DNI)

How do I tell if I’m a system?

Okay, so! It can help to find out more about how different systems work, Pluralpedia on fandom wiki (I know, I know…) is a really great resource and it can really help to look at different system consciousness types, different levels of blurriness, etc. There are also absolutely some system symptoms, here are just a few I don’t really see many people mentioning:

- Making different accounts on social medias, chat apps, etc which interact with your friends and one another, especially if they have distinct mannerisms

- Being able to get into conversations with yourself

- Having conflicting ideas, pet peeves, etc

One really great tip is to just… try out the label and treat yourself like a system for a bit. This is what helped us figure it out! Another tip is to sort of talk to yourself internally for a bit. No, seriously! Like, ask a question in your head, for example; “What’s your name?” “What pronouns do you use?” et cetera! You hear a response, you’re probably a system! There’s more tips about this online that you can find, I’m not too experienced with this. Lol

I think I’m a system, now what?

The first thing you’ll probably want to do is to get the basics down. Get a count of how many headmates/alters you have. Have everyone write down basic info about themselves, name, pronouns, etc. You can do this on paper, but there’s also a really helpful mobile app called Simply Plural, it’s an organization tool.

Stay away from anti endo spaces, very important! It’s best to keep to the spaces that are explicitly pro endo and to stay away from the spaces that don’t give any disclosure as to where they stand.

Whatever you want to do! If you’d like, you could just relax for a bit with your new(ish) internal friends.

How do I communicate with nonverbal alters/headmates?

I’m adding this here because this was a question we had back in the day that we couldn’t find an answer to. Nonverbal peeps have all sorts of different ways of communicating, just like nonverbal singlets! Sometimes they can beam emotions at others, sometimes it’s physical sensations. They can probably write if you can bring them into front, so that’s also an option!

okay so i have an older sibling who has alters apparently and has plurality?? And fictokins or however u spell it. Anyway me and my mom r trying to be supportive but i also dont understand it and im trying really hard to not be like "wtf" so any tips or advice or explanations? I am genuinely trying to learn but its hard to wrap my mind around especially when I can barely handle one voice in my head i cant imagine multiple

[tearosecafe]

Tip for if you're blurry/can't tell who's fronting/can't figure out who a new member is: the website same.energy is really helpful for us! We usually look through the "variety" page until an image feels right. It helps narrow it down, or at least figure out some information.

The site is kind of broken, so the only pages that work are "Variety" and searching. ("Variety" won't show up unless you type something in the search bar and then delete it again.)

Be warned that the site can have images of pretty much anything, including slight NSFW/nudity and blood/gore/anatomy (the more graphic images of both should be blurred unless you change your tag preferences), creepy/scary images, weapons, trypophobia, distorted faces, eyes, etc. Tread with caution. Most of the variety page should be fairly safe though.

MaDD and plurality

okay so we're MaDD, right?? and we're also plural??

NOBODY talks about how freaking hard that makes communicating omg.

constantly i'll be trying to talk to someone and then i drift off and suddenly they are completely drowned out OR they're ALSO daydreaming!! it's so frustrating, because it means that to even semi-effectively communicate, i have to talk out loud. if i have to communicate something important and we're in a public place i just have to focus REALLY hard on internal communication and it sometimes STILL doesnt work.

on top of that, we have ADHD so it's even harder, and talking out loud still doesn't work that well because without another person physically here to snap me back to reality whenever i'm daydreaming, if i start daydreaming, i'm just stuck until i realize, which can be anywhere from within a minute to literally 20+ minutes. usually they're able to get my attention by that time, but it's hard because our communication is not easy for anyone but the host(me, who is ALWAYS fronting) to initiate, so unless i actively open myself to communicate with them, it's hard for them to get my attention. sometimes my daydreams even last hours, but that usually doesn't happen when i'm not actively deciding to daydream. so yeah, it's really difficult because i've already got issues focusing, and adding basically irresistable urges to daydream at random that get triggered way too easily on top of that, inner communication is SO HARD.

anyways, this makes making a tulpa really fucking difficult because forcing is really hard.

but here are my tips, for other MaDD, especially anyone making a headmate/alter/tulpa/parogen/whatever themself -

incorporate your daydreaming into the communicating/forcing. like daydream you and that alter hanging out and then communicate via that. this does not ensure that you won't start daydreaming about anything else, but it lessens the chances. if you try to force yourself to not daydream at ALL the urges are gonna be much harder to ignore, at least for me. if you're ALREADY daydreaming, and it gets interesting enough, minor distractions are gonna catch your attention less and less because you WANNA focus on this one daydream. it becomes much more enjoyable.

this kind of like the last one, but this is more specific to tulpa/parogen forcing. don't really view it as a chore, which i've accidentally been doing more and more. not a chore i dislike, but i've been viewing it like something i have to do every single day for x amount of time other wise it wont work and it'll fail horribly and everything will be ruined, when it shouldn't need to be that. it shouldn't be on a to-do list, unless that really works for you(which if that's the case that's freaking awesome and you should probably ignore this tip). idk about everyone else, but it's much easier for me to daydream if i'm treating something like something i need to do because it's so much more tempting to just go live somewhere else for a minute while i do things i need to do. i often daydream doing chores because it's not interesting enough to keep me grounded. so, to make sure it gets done, i drift off while i'm doing it, so i am doing it in the real world but to me i'm in another world or in one of my stories. but for forcing, to be able to do it, you HAVE to be constantly aware and present. if you view it like you're just having a fun little conversation with them, it becomes like whenever you're bored or lonely just like you would reach out to a friend, but instead you're getting some talking to your head friend in. even if it's not traditional forcing, it works and develops them more, even if it's just a bit here and there. idk about everyone else, but i think partially because of my ADHD and partially because of my MaDD, whenever i have a chore i need to do i kind of put it off if i'm already doing something. i don't really *want* to put it off, but i just can't get my body to move. especially when I'm daydreaming. because, why would i get up and do the boring thing when i can watch my story in my head ? it's so much easier to sit and do nothing. but as we all know, that ADHD paralysis is so so SO stress inducing, the best option is to always get up and try to force yourself to. idk if non-ADHD MaDD will relate at all though, because that paralysis is mostly exclusive to those with ADHD afaik, but for me, my MaDD makes it much worse. anyways, that probably didn't make much sense sorry

write down what everyone is saying. this makes it much easier to keep track of what they are saying and stay present, but it also documents the conversation as well. so even if you weren't that present during the conversation, or you're worried you'll forget something important, you'll have a record to read back on later if you need! and also with created alters/headmates, keeping track of their progress is always incredibly important!!

don't listen to music! this one might be a bit of a given but unless it's like instrumental music that you genuinely won't pay that much attention to but still helps you focus, DON'T listen to it. songs are an easy gateway into a daydream. ESPECIALLY songs with lyrics, even ones that you can't understand because they're in another language, which by the way for literally any other thing you need to focus on, that's a great tip, listening to music in other languages, because you can still focus with interesting music in the background but the lyrics arent grabbing you at all. anyways back to plural-related MaDD tips, yeah, don't listen to music. even if that song usually doesn't catch your attention. for me, if i'm talking, internally or externally, and there's music with lyrics playing, i reallyyy cannot focus on what i'm(or others, again, internally or externally) are saying. idk, might just be some sort of auditory processing issue related to my ADHD but i cannot focus on it, and because it's hard, i just need to pick one, and sometimes my brain picks the song and i just. stop talking. and start daydreaming.

idk what to do if you're not fronting and trying to communicate with whoever is fronting, because i've not switched(like i mentioned before, the host, who is me, has never not been the one fronting), but if anyone has any other tips either related to that or the ones i already have here, please feel free to let me know because i'd love to hear them and i'm sure others do too!! anyways, i hope i helped, idk this might be too specific to me.

This is technically made for just us+, but I might as well share it for the folks who also don't function well with word count goals.

The aim is to carve out an hour everyday to write as much as possible until the end of the month.

Feel free to tag @dssystemwriting if you try this challenge, I'll reblog any posts I come across. Template is also free to use and mark up.

[the-siphonophore]

When you realize behavior mostly guided by values/beliefs and practice it's much easier not to worry about how your personality comes off. Just pay attention to doing what you think is best, (including if that's to have fun and goof off) the rest will happen naturally. The more you do it the easier it gets until eventually it's second nature^^

Edit: if this doesn't make a ton of sense pls lmk I'm very tired and happy to clarify after sleep xD
