I could go on and on for days, but I think you get the jist.

YOU ARE VALID. NO MATTER YOUR EXPERIENCE. YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE REAL. YOU DONT NEED TO FIT INTO THE CONFINED BOX OF REQUIREMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED PLURAL.

Happy Valentines Days, everyone. <3

System positivity is I love my headmates so much 🫶

We've gotten through SO much together and I'm glad I have this little family to rely on when things get bad

Part 3 of alter self portraits and letters, Hypnos edition!

Thank you for having legible handwriting Hypnos, one of the few in the system who does lol. He asked me to do the line-art for him because he’s still working on his art skills, so our styles are very similar at the moment. But all the colouring and shading as well as the pose was done by the eeper himself!

Hypnos split during a horrific time in life, and I’m genuinely so thankful for him helping getting us through it and I’m so glad to see him happier and more at peace now. I’m so proud of you Hypnos, you deserve the world and you’re a wonderful parent :)

genuine question here. Why do some anti endos put “Traumagenic system” in their desc and/or tags?? Like why would you need to make that distinction if you don’t believe there are any other systems? That’s like a transphobic person calling themself cis. like I thought you didn’t like that???

Love letter ~💌

"it's like a completely different type of love. like sharing a brain is fundamental to our bond"

An ode to in-sys love, not strictly romantic, but a unique kind of familial too. a beautiful thing we've been discovering as we integrate and heal

Both the drawings and the poem are by me. To Ilya, Boo and Florence, my loves. my family <3

i luv system cuddles, i luv forming a big warm cuddle pile while trying to get the body to sleep and relax. i love being able to feel phantom touches or have someone take control of the body to give a comforting gesture -⭐️

It’s weird, missing someone who’s here in the system with me. We spend almost all our time out of front together, but because of the weird memory barriers between headspace and front it feels like I haven’t seen him in ages whenever I come out here without him.

Listening to his favorite song helps ground me a lot. Clair de Lune is what he always played on the radio in his little store, and I heard it from his room a lot too when I walked by. He always turned the music off when I went in though so we could just talk. I appreciated it a lot.

Even when we both almost lost ourselves to the Ichor, each other and our other partners (who were also struggling against the Ichor’s effects) being the only grounding things left, that song still followed him wherever he went, almost like magic with the way it played from the speakers whenever he went in a room with them installed. It only ever happened when he was in his Twisted form; I never bothered to try understanding how it worked. I just appreciated having him and the music by my side, even if I couldn’t fully remember myself, or anyone else.

It’s relieving having my full memory back again, and being able to mostly control the Ichor’s effects. I can tell he feels the same, though he’s less comfortable in his Twisted form than I am. I understand why; it warped and changed us both into something near unrecognizable, something dangerous. One of the others in here, Uzi, helped me get more comfortable. I hope I can do the same for him. We’ve been making progress, thankfully.

If we didn’t have a roommate, I’d let the song play on loop from my phone as I fell asleep. I still could with headphones, but sleeping with them isn’t the most comfortable. I’ll listen to it a few more times before I go out for the night; the edgy hedgehog in co-front will just have to deal with it.

If you see this later, good night Dandy. Love you <3

Looking through my phone camera roll, nostalgic for the life I never lived- one of my more telling plurality moments that I didn't give thought for a long time, due to having enough mental illness that I figured that was it. Nope, that picture was taken by Solly, and that picture is from Hazel, and that one was Oni's, and none of them are mine because I'm not a visual thinker and I don't take many photos. Every now and then I'll wish I did, so I can have a place in the camera roll too, but then I remember I have lots of other places in my(our) life, like having dominated our saved-music files for over five years now, and developing our nearly system-wide artstyle. Life comes in many strange ways, but being a system has been one of my favorites

system positivity is different headmates drawing each other when they struggle with finding faceclaims 🫶🏻 its like insys art trades and its so fun !!

That's so sweet ajsjaksjja

Hi hello. Kei was talking about how much he loves when people are publicly romantic about their partners n. talk about em in posts n shit. so uh... this is that.

he reminds me of those cheesy, corny love songs that you can only really like if you're in love.

he's like discovering a new band and being absolutely obsessed, like, new favorite band type shi.

hes like a really soft hug, just a gentle, tight hug.

hes like getting home after a long day at work, and hearing your pet come running because they're so happy to finally see you again.

he's like... being tired. /pos

As we've learned more about what it means to be a system, and to share a life with multiple people in one brain and one body, one of the many things we've come to accept is that we don't always get to know who's fronting and who's saying or doing something. Sometimes someone (we have no idea who) will take over for less than ten seconds just to make a ridiculous sound and send everyone else into a giggle fit XD

[dr-049]

i love our co-host/p

i love how different xe are to me, I love how alike xe are to me, I love how protective xe are, I love when xer tired, I love when xer awake, I love from xer in the headspace. But most importantly,

i love when xer fronting with me.

It's nice to have people you can talk to openly about being a system and the experiences and feelings that come with it. I feel like most of us don't really have many people we can truely be ourselves around, for some of us maybe there's nobody at all (if you're one of those people I hope you can find somebody who's supportive and trustworthy who you feel safe to open up with soon) and it's such an isolating, lonely thing to live with.

Our mom technically knows we likely have DID (well I'm leaning a bit more towards OSDD but our old therapist told her we have DID) but it's something that's hardly ever spoken about I wouldn't be surprised if she's forgotten about it by now and we never shared any details about our system or anything with her. Our brother also knows and he's cool about it but still we really don't talk about it much, he has our simplyplural but hardly ever checks it which I'm fine with I still feel uncomfortable with him really knowing I guess even though I love and do trust him? We mainly just talk about DID through the lense of media like Moonknight and stuff with him.

We've had friends who've known us as a system before some were pretty good with it, but we don't have any of those friends anymore. We've also had two system friends at one point but sadly we grew apart from both of them too. And I don't think with any of them we properly opened up.

But then there's my qpp, we've known them for four years and they've known us as a well 'us' for almost all of it. It took a while before we really opened up and I'm sure we still have ways to go but I trust them so much, more than I have with anyone and it's so great. They're so understanding and non-judgemental, they treat the others amazingly and have never made us feel like we're crazy or a burden. And I love them so much.

For Christmas/Yule they got us the DID rabbit from plushiedreadfuls and I felt so seen, like sure it's just a stuffed animal but it just means so much to me and the rest of the system. We named them Astaroth and we bring them with us outside a lot to help cope with stuff ranging from dissociation, anxiety, flashbacks etc. Today was a rough day for me and Aspen and they honestly helped a lot and idk they just remind me of my qpp and it makes me happy.

Sorry this just became a rant about my lively qpp but like they're the bestttt!!

I've been thinking about how far we've come in healing in a short span of time and it's... Extraordinary. We feel so... Happy. Joyful. We never thought we'd be able to feel this way

And I have to thank the alters that came before me so much for all of it. So I'll write for all of them

Mari, thank you for holding on. You handled so much, you lived in hell everyday, and you held on for years. You were so brave, and I have to thank you for the opportunity to exist. We wouldn't be alive if you weren't so resilient

Boo, thank you for helping everyone that needed your help. Thank you for holding on when you lost your friend, thank you for being strong through so much that happened, thank you for making it possible for others to heal. Nobody would have gotten far without you

Ilya, you did so much. You were the first one to get us started into our healing journey, and you did the dirtiest, most exhausting, and least rewarding job. You learned so many things, taught them to us. You built the foundation for where we are now. We would never be here if not for you

As and JD, thank you for helping us with our anger. You helped us learn about it, embrace it, and you left a permanent mark in who we are now. You helped us understand ourselves and why we acted the way we did, you helped us learn how to deal with it. You made us understand our anger didn't make us bad, and how to redirect it to better uses

Rayzor and Azi, your work with religious trauma was so important. It was vital for us to tackle it and I'm so glad you did

For everyone who's passed by this system, no matter how long you stayed: thank you so much. Everything you've done has had its impact. You're all so amazing

Love,

Belle
