1. What kind of system are you? (Describe this in any way you like. No need to use -genic or popular terms if you don’t want to)

In the most easy way we can describe ourselves, we are traumaendo, or mixed-origins!! Definetely stressgenic too.

2. How many of you are there?

At the time of writing this, a little over 70+ of us.

3. How long have you known about your plurality?

Depends on who you ask. Some of us knew for months - or even YEARS, but didn’t tell the host. Or at least tried, but were ignored constantly. The host had some denial over it in July of 2022, but finally noticed in September of 2022 when our smajor factive popped in front and was like “hey! you’re not the only person in this body!” and the host ended up finding out through talking to some of our friends. 

4. What kind of spaces/communities do you/did you hang out in? (Both plural-relevant and non-plural-relevant spaces are valid answers, past and present)

A lot of fandom spaces, the kin communites/spaces on here, and more pro-endo spaces on here. 

5. Had you heard of DID/OSDD/DDNOS before you became plural/discovered your plurality?

yes, oh my god, we had. that was enough to get our little host at 14 to question everything before being shunned by relatives when they tried to mention it. Ended up ignoring us for a while before mid-late 2022 happened. They thought we had DID (we don’t, maybe it’s something else entirely), and just ended up becoming more accepting about it through 2022 and up till now. 

6. Do you have a wonderland/innerworld? If so, what do you call it, and what are some things that you and your system members do there?

yep yep, we do have an innerworld. we just call it ‘the mansion’, as that’s what it is for the most part. we really just hang out alot in there and fuck around. i (eret) can recall having a movie night with a few other headmates and our host. we watched mama mia :}

7. What do you call your system members?

headmates/sysmates!!

8. If you’re plural but don’t use the word “system” to describe you&, what word do you use?

collective or flamobyance!!

9. What are some of the best things about being plural?

honestly? meeting people who have similar and different experiences like us. the communiity and our friends are really chill, and we love them dearly!! <3

10. What are some of the not-so-great things about being plural? (Any answer is valid- nothing is too minor or too major to be an answer to this question.)

crowding is not super enjoyabel, especially in high amount of people. it’s not the end of the world - we don’t mind it - but it makes us blurry and gives us headaches. that and some sort of amnesia that makes us miss out on things in the world, like holidays, birthdays -- and even our upcoming graduation in three months.  there’s so many things in life that we all want to be a part of! but the amnesia between us may make it impossible for us all to enjoy it togehter. 

11. Do you have a spiritual or psychological view of your plurality?

i don’t know? i think it’s definitely a more psychological view than anything. not sure what this question means either way. 

12. Do you ever experience “switching” or “posession” or any sort of change in who controls the body? If so, what do you call it, how easy/difficult is it, and what is it like? Were you always able to do this, or did you have to learn how over time?

we do experience switches!! they vary between easy and difficult , and it really feels like that person is stepping beside us or stepping where we once stood , if that makes sense?

13. How do you and your system mates relate to each other? (Are you friends, family, romantically involved, caretakers, etc.)

really depends , in all honesty. for the most part, aqauintences works? theres definetely a good amount of friendships in out collectives, and we have a few romantic relationships (and a queer-platonic relationship) between some headmates. 

14. Have you come out to anybody in real life/in a singlet space about your plurality? How did it go?

irl? no, and we intend to keep it that way - unless we know the person/people well enough. in singlet spaces (online)? yeah! it actually went really well. they were completely accepting and cool with it.

16. What are you and your system members interested in?

a lot of minecraft smps, writing things, drawing, character creation, roleplay, and watching movies/shows.

17. What is your life like in the meatworld?

very simple ig? yet also stressful? we’re a high school student collectively, and are almost graduated from that school. our classes are really cool, and we’re with a bunch of neat people. we have a lot of great friends (love u guys <33 /p), and we’re in therapy, so that’s cool! also just vibing as a collective fictionkin too! definetely dealing with school + aro struggles, along with social anxiety too lol

18. What are your music tastes? Movies? Favorite colors? Animals? List any other favorites as well

collectively, our music taste is all over the place. we favour rock/soft rock a lot, and dad rock. we really like the colours blue and purple, and *two-thirds* of us like cats, while the other third likes other animals. we don’t really have a favourite movie/show, and yeah.

19. Does your system have a host/original? If so, what do you call them? Explain what role they play in your system

yep! our host’s name is noel/joey/faolan! they’re literally just the host - they usually front a LARGE chunk of the time, but alas, they are in innerworld and have been since December. <3

20. Do any system members have notable relationships outside of the system? Explain them!

Honestly, a lot of friendships with a bunch of cool people - plural and singlets alike. we get along with a lot of our friends - if not, all of them - and they’re honestly great! we love them so much and are grateful as FUCK to have met them!! <333

23. Is there anything you’d like to say to the plural community at large?

regardless of your origins, you are all so, SO valid, and we love you guys <3 /p

24. Is there anything you’d like to say to any singlets reading this post?

we love you guys too! hope you’re all having a great day/night <3

Sysmeds should not get to write the narrative about us on this platform!

Scrolling through the tags, it seems like a great deal of what's said about us on tumblr is either sysmeds trying to make us look bad or all-encompassing plural blogs that just say everyone is valid (which is great! and these blogs should keep doing what they're doing! but it would be nice to have some more frequent endo (and other) representation on here too!)

Either my tumblr algorithm just sucks major balls, or most endos, tulpas, spiritual systems and other non-sysmed-approved systems get scared off of this platform because of how many loud hateful voices there are compared to how few people there are who we can relate to. (like most of the cool-looking accounts i can relate to that i find are dead and so is my blog for the same reason lol).

SO! Let's do a thing. If you are endogenic, parogenic, a tulpamancy system, a spiritual system, a daemien, or any other kind of system that sysmeds try to silence, reblog this post with answers to these questions to tell tumblr what our lived experiences as plurals are REALLY like!

(Feel free to pick and choose which questions you want to answer, or just come up with your own and tag them under #endovoices or substitute endo for whatever kind of system you are! Also, feel free to just reblog with one answer at a time, or to just answer the questions in a standalone post; no need to credit me, I just want more systems sharing their experiences!)

That is all I've got for now, but feel free to add any more you want to share! Please remember to be respectful to all system types if you post, I do not support bashing or invalidating of any system types. I will also reblog with my own answers soon.

(Note: these questions are not in order of priority or importance, I just wrote them down as I came up with them. Feel free to answer out of order and skip or add whatever you want!)

Also this should go without saying but making any rude sysmeddy responses to this will just result in being blocked and totally ignored, so don't even start, there's no point. The block button is right there.

Have fun everyone!
