so we’re doing a bit of an experiment rn where we recorded ourselves doing a chore (sorting makeup) and commentating as we do it right

it’s making me realize how much like. crazy and weird fronting is and how we look and act- it’s so heavily influenced by the constant cofronting! like, i’ll be talking, and then Valeria pops in, and then Jacob pops in, and then Sincerity gets in a joke, and I’m still there the whole time. we just keep swapping out who has majority influence on the body’s actions and speaking

that also makes our stutter make sense as well then, cuz then its like alter a being in front with a sudden hijack from alter b who now wants to speak, but the brain is like, glitching trying to actually get any words out from the sudden change in influence

dude. polyfrag antics are wild. we’re so cool like that like damn

Here's to very large systems!

Occasionally, some systems might end up being way bigger than most others-- which is perfectly valid and lovely! Whether you have C-DID/polyfragmentation, or you just have a super high member count, this one's for you!

Shoutout to:

Polyfragmented/(H)C-DID systems with lots of fragments

People who prefer other labels, such as polyplural/polymultiple

Gateway systems with huge swathes of walk-ins coming in and out frequently

Those who have such a high member count, they've lost track/don't care about the specifics anymore

Multiples with dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even an infinite number of headmates

Those who have many different layers, subsystems, sidesystems, etc.

Systems who wish they were smaller, or get stressed by the number of splits they have

And anyone else I missed!

We love you so, so much! Being a large system might be difficult to handle sometimes, but it's a beautiful experience if you learn to appreciate the small things! Truth be told, there are even moments we wish we were smaller too! But, the good thing is, we always have each other, no matter what! The same goes to you -- and you have us, as well! Always!

You're so unique!

🖤����💙💚💛

It still blows us away when anti-endogenic and/or fakeclaiming folx try to push their feelings in CLEARLY pro-endo spaces. Like. Get the memo, you aren't wanted here lol

[inclurid]

Shout-out to huge systems. To systems with tons of sidesystems and subsystems To systems with a bunch of fragments To systems with infinite headmates To systems with thousands and thousands of headmates To systems with hundreds of locations in their headspace/s You guys are SO awesome and super cool :)

How it feels to be a polyfrag system?

Is being a system is mostly positive experience for your system, or not?

Hello! Being a system on the whole is a positive experience for us, especially since there's no way to conceptualize us as singular and many of us are happier that way. When it comes to being polyfrag though, it really depends on the individual member's perspective. Some enjoy the way the headspace twists and turns and makes no sense to tangible reality; it makes others anxious and confused. Some welcome the presence of constantly getting new members, and others worry if it'll get too much to handle one day. Some are deeply affected by our trauma and can't hold onto a stable identity due to fragmentation, while others are much more comfortable with the separate identity/ies they present. There're a lot of intense positives and negatives to being ourselves on the whole, so it's hard to come to a collective opinion.

That being said, our goal has always been to understand ourselves and to take the time and space to heal. We may not love the emotional flashbacks, the depersonalization & derealization, the uncontrollable rhythm to who's available to communicate or front, or how hard it is sometimes to feel like we exist as ourselves, but that doesn't mean we don't want to exist. We're happy with who we are; one day we'll be healthier while still being ourselves all the while.

is it common for polyfrag systems to;

• feel like every headmate is made of fragments, just depending on whether all those fragments agree to be seen as one or not.

• feeling like you split snapshots of time very easily e.g. I'm dissociated, I feel like a different person with these pronouns. Set up a simply plural/lighthouse. Only for them to never appear again in that specific design.

• having snapshots of younger times instead of age sliding

• very strong front block / inability to commune with headmates because of masking

• feeling like the mask is another separate person to the rest of the system

• subsystems within subsystems within subsystems

• having personifications of the brain and complex links between alters

• having an upper management that is unknown to you

• emotional and somatic flashbacks

Or what are some things that tipped you off/are common with being polyfragmented.

- unknown

genuinely is there a term for polyfragmented that isn’t exclusive to disordered systems?? I really don’t wanna be disrespectful, as we’re not disordered ourselves, but many of the qualifiers for being polyfrag fit w us (many members, intense trauma, complex headspace, new guys forming easily, so many subsystems, etc etc) but looking through various polyfrag tags we’ve seen a lot of it relies on memory issues which, while we have, are unrelated to our system. I’ve seen people suggest that we should just get our own term, but I don’t know if any? Suggestions would be awesome, thanks.

|| All sides of syscourse can interact. But if you’re gonna be a dick about us being non-disordered, kindly don’t. I wish you all a wonderful day /gen ||

[granulesofsand]

System restructuring for us usually looks like the constant influx of people and places after a period of not adapting in real time. It’s not one big thing, but a lot of things that we just didn’t manage when we should have.

We’re going to have to start mapping again, I think. It wasn’t a priority, but the consequences are exponential. We’ll need districts, tasks for insiders, people to tend to them and keep records. It’s fallen into such disrepair. I don’t know where to start.

I’d love to hear what labels y’all are using, how your systems are organized, how you deal with internal vs external affairs and where you draw that line. It’s been a fright realizing that so much has changed, and we could use some wisdom.

[plural-culture-is]

polyplural disordered system culture is basically always being able to look in the back and find someone or another sobbing their heart out. Sometimes we rotate out who gets to cry to sleep near front every night

[nova-as-a-star-cluster]

anyone else have alters with different spinterests than the rest of the system?

anyways, front yesterday:

the videos creep us out sometimes but yk. void’s enjoying herself

-valeria/denise?

[echosinthedesert]

The more I think about it, the more different our internal sign language differs from any other we know. We have way more pronouns, we measure time differently, the cultural connotations mean few signs line up unless they’re loan words, and regional norms for what bodies look like is not a concern when everyone is human. I don’t like calling it a conlang, because it wasn’t really constructed. It’s a mix of what we picked up from hand signals where we grew up and the necessity of communication amongst ourselves over time. There’s enough of us that we have several dialects and a mutually intelligible language —our reshuffling cycles might be enough to count as generational shift, always got new people coming in. I love our language, we literally have a school where we get to teach it now.

Just realized we recently passed 300 members here, holy hell. It's been such a long journey and I'm just glad I haven't spent it alone

[cringegenic]

Cringegenic culture is possibly being addgenic because you have urges to become a bigger system (currently in the lower 30s) and be polyplural at least but at the same time due to current brainfog (recovering from COVID) it would be harder to keep track of everyone 😭🙏 like even once they exist it'll be like "am I x? or am I y? or maybe z??" lmao. but also being scared of being fake claimed too😔

New name for polyfrag systems just dropped
