♡ ~ Hi hello my loves! ~ ♡

♡ ~ My name is Amber! I am a disabled queer person here on the internet and I'm also nonhuman. ~ ♡

♡ ~ My queer identity:

× I'm a trans demifeminine genderfluid cloudgender genderice cloudfem being who is bisexual, biromantic, polyamorous and taken! I use xenogenders and neopronouns.

× My pronouns are she/they/it/star/shine/rot but I am alright with he/him as well. I don't usually use emoji pronouns but if you'd use them, use 💗/💗s for me. My titles are star shineness, he who dreams, th3 3mpr3ss (translation/plain text: the empress), tiny princessz (with the z).

× My nicknames are Am, Bear, Kitty, Gray and Starz. I fluctuate between them.

♡ ~ My disabilities:

× I am multiply disabled, chronically ill and mentally ill.

× My main disabilities and the ones that impact me the most are Autism, Misophonia, OCD, ME/CFS, BPS, IBD and Terminal Ileitis. I have other disabilities with impact both my brain and body in many ways.

× I deal with bladder and bowel issues and post about it. No this is not a fetish. While I am kinky myself, I don't have this fetish. This is me suffering, not having fun. I am disabled. /serious

× I use crutches, a cane, an AAC app and am looking into getting a wheelchair or a rollator.

× I am demiverbal and low to middle support needs autistic.

♡ ~ My nonhuman identity:

× I am physically nonhuman, a holothere, otherkin, therian and have a mindscape (though that does not mean I'm plural!). I am a type of shapeshifting angelic fairy. I am not of this world. My soul is much older than my body. I am also a practicing witch and polytheist that worships many gods, mainly The Drowned God.

♡ ~ My interests, alliance ect.:

× I am a furry (as in a hobby), an age regressor (not in a sexual way), a peaceful anarchist and a far leftist, person who participates in cpunk and unitypunk, an eepyqueer with a stance against discourse and am neutral on AI. I selfship. I use subliminals and spells. I am pro reality shifting and do it from time to time.

♡ ~ What I support:

I support people with atypical dysphoria, people with good faith identities and people with all disabilities (yes, even people with personality disorders and people who's disabilities cause them to be "unhygenic" or "strange"). I am pro-Palestine. I think discourse is not good and will not participate in it.

♡ ~ My DNI + DNF:

♡ ~ Other notes:

Stay safe and take care of yourselves. <3

i’m a genderfluid person who’s been various genders. here are some things i see, from inside and outside the queer community:

nonbinary being perceived as worse and more ridiculous than binary trans, even if the person views binary trans badly too. people assuming nonbinary means “trans-lite” and “basically cis with extra steps,” instead of learning if the person experiences their gender differently.

genderfluid people only being represented in media when they flow smoothly and strictly between the genders of man or woman, or occasionally, perfectly neutral. they are hardly ever shown experiencing gender combos or demigenders or something completely outside the binary or days where they don’t know what their gender is.

genderfluid shapeshifters being written in a way where it’s shown/implied that their gender only changes when they change their sex, and that changing their sex is always the cause for a shift in gender, without any other genderfluid characters with different experiences to balance it out. nonbinary characters who aren’t human are always immediately assumed to be salmacian, even if the species’ reproductive biology is never talked about, and even if the species otherwise seems to fit human gender norms. people can’t seem to let go of the idea that everybody’s gender is linked with & relies on what your body looks like.

the belief that xenogenders and other microlabels are somehow harming the trans community at large. yes, a lot of people having a well-known label they can unite under is nice, but people aren’t “splitting the community apart” because they enjoy having more specific words to explain their experiences. people with xenogenders are often pressured to pick and stick by an umbrella label they might not even feel fits.

related, when people make fun of folks who headcanon characters as having various xenogenders and/or similar labels. it’s seen as more unrealistic, because having obscure microlabels is seen as something that only a “certain type” of people do. (ie, young people who don’t have a lot of responsibility or anything to be serious about.) if a character/person is an adult with important jobs and serious problems, who isn’t bubbly or over-the-top extroverted, then the idea of them having more specific labels for their gender (or even just *having* a more specific gender) is seen as absurd. anything that strays too far from the binary is “unprofessional” and “childish” and “cringe.”

when people say to folks who are confused about their gender that they can’t be nonbinary, because “see, you’re confused about it!” there’s no room for people to maybe just have a gender that’s inherently confusing.

when gender charts/explanations are shared, and the sharer says that everybody’s gender can be mapped onto it (or something to that effect), it leaves no room for those who don’t understand their gender in the same way. when people internalize certain charts/explanations as the authority on all gender for all people, they start to see other people who don’t fit with them as wrong about their experiences instead of admitting that some explanations simply don’t work for everyone.

the english language not having good, well-known, gender-ambiguous titles. “mx” sounds too similar to “miss” when spoken aloud for me to be fully comfortable using it in speech. even then, most people don’t know about it and don’t use it on strangers. “mage” is nice, but that’s even more unknown.

the rare places that allow you to choose your pronouns never account for fluid pronouns. they can have a drop-down box full of different sets, but the best i can hope for is that there’s an “other” option at the bottom. even when there is a section to write them in, sometimes it’s formatted so that the slashes are already there, so you can’t just write “my pronouns change.” when pronoun pins are sold on etsy, the only ones you can buy without spending extra on customization are either the most common pronoun sets, sometimes a few neos, and occasionally an “any pronouns” pin. even queer surveys are horrible about this; i can only remember seeing fluid pronouns as a checkable choice once.

people saying “well, what do you expect?” and doing nothing to help when you complain about the gender binary being everywhere. they expect you to just accept the culture as it is and either be okay with it or suffer in silence. they act like progress will be achieved eventually but quietly, without anyone being angry at the current situation as it happens.

❗️❗️ This is asked entirely in good faith. This post is intended to open dialogue and help with solidarity and understanding. ❗️❗️

I would like to hear specifically from nonbinary people how the system of exorsexism/enbyphobia uniquely targets and affects you. Things that you feel other demographics do not experience. Reblogs and replies are very encouraged! If you would prefer, you could dm or send an ask to be added anonymously by me.

This is in the spirit of wanting to understand. I am listening. I encourage all binary trans people to not speak on this topic and let nonbinary people do the talking here. Reblog the post to spread it, but please say nothing.

Any and all people who identify as nonbinary are encouraged to participate. This is not agab-locked. If you are agender, trans neutral/neutrois, genderfluid, bigender, trigender, multigender, xenogender, genderqueer, third gender, two spirit, or any other gender not wholey contained within the strict binary of "man" or "woman", this post is for you. Even if you have already posted on the trans fem or trans masc versions, if you are nonbinary, you are welcome here.

This is not bait to start a fight. I will block without hesitation anyone who is actively being a shithead on this post. I want to hear and uplift your voices by getting it directly from you.

⋙Who are you?

♤ Excellent Question! I am your faithful court jester, though most just call me Jester. Welcome to my blog.

⋙What is this blog for?

♤ It's for sharing and discussing Xenogenders. I, as your jester, will track down genders or coin them if they don't exist. I also will answer all (respectful) questions. Please feel free to send an ask or a comment, I don't bite ♥️

⋙Tell me more about you

♤ I'm a simple jester, but if you'd like to know, here are a few basics things about me: I use All pronouns, with a preference for neos, it/its, then they/them. I'm a minor, so please don't be weird. I'm Genderfluid and AroAce, specifically Aroflux and Gay. Please feel free to come up with nicknames for me if you'd like.

⋙Are Requests open right now?

♤ Yes they are! Please be patient, though, I'm only one jester.

⎯⎯⎯⎯ ・ ✧・ ⎯⎯⎯⎯

‧₊˚༺How to Request Things༻˚₊‧

– You don't have to use this system, but it will make it easier for me to sort through asks. However, as long as you are clear about what you want, I will do it. If you decide to use it, start with these emojis:

♠️ Any Random Ask or Comment: Whether it's about me or about xenogenders you can use this

♥️ Gender Search: Ask me to find a label that fits your gender. This does not have to be a xenogender. If I cannot find an existing one, I will ask you if you want me to make a label

♣️ Xenogender Submission: If you have a xenogender (whether you made it or not) that you would like me to show off to people, submit it! Include a link to where it comes from if you didn't make it. I will also look if you can't find it

♦️ Xenogender Request: Finally, if you would like help coining a xenogender, tell me the definition you want or the rough feeling and I will create a flag and (if needed) a way to put it into words. Also tell me if it's for a specific group only like therians, fictionkins, ect.

⎯⎯⎯⎯ ・ ✧・ ⎯⎯⎯⎯

�� BYI: I have Autism and ADHD. I don't need tone tags, but I'd rather have them or I may misinterpret things.

🟢 Please Interact: Fellow Neurodivergents, LGBTQ+ people, xenogender users, and respectful curious people

🟡 IWC: cishet people, neurotypical people (nothing personal, you're just likely not to fully understand this blog. If you're respectful, you're welcome here?)

🔵 Boundaries: Please be kind. No type of hate with be tolerated on my blog. Keep this a happy and pleasant place. Also, let's keep discourse off of it.

🔴 DNI: Basic DNI, pro/comshippers, fakeclaimers

[bubblyaquarium]

This is going to be long lmao so answers under the cut!

name asks

1. do you have a collective name? how was it chosen? - I'm not sure if this is referring to our system name or actual name, so I'll answer for both. Yes, we do have a system name! We call ourselves the Aquarium! Aquariums, fish tanks, and just water in general is v calming to us. We have a collective name as well, but as we use that irl we wont share here for safety.

2. how do new system members choose their names? - I don't actually know? Before knowing we're a system we had some names we used as 'nicknames' which are some of the names we use, but the majority of us just kind of. Had names? Or if they did chose I don't remember.

3. are there any system members who identify with the body’s name? - most of us do tbh, like none of us use it for ourselves personally but most of us feel connected to that name.

4. which system member has the most stereotypical name? - probably Angel lmao we've seen quite a few systems that have an alter named that.

5. which system member has the weirdest name? - Buttercream definitely. A lot of us have unique names but hers is something else lmao.

age asks

6. how does age work for your system’s members? - a good chunk of us age with the body, though some of us are stuck at the age we're formed. Usually trauma holders and ex-hosts seemed to be age stuck and the rest age like normally.

7. does your system have ageless system members? - yep! Buttercream and Breeze are both ageless.

8. who is the oldest system member? how old are they? - technically Gray, who is 25. We consider Buttercream to be, as she's physically in her 30s and also immortal.

9. does your system have system members who age slide or age regress?

10. if you have them, do your system’s littles want to be treated like children or adults? - N/A

queer asks

11. do system members tend to have similar sexualities, or are they different for each member? - as far as I know we're all exclusively attracted to men

12. does your system have more male, female, or nonbinary system members? is there any overlap between those? - Most of us are male or masc aligned, though we have a bunch of different genders and some genderless members as well.

13. do any system member use xenogenders or neopronouns? - Yes! Circus and Buttercream use xenogenders, and six of us use neos.

14. does your system collectively identify as anything? if so, what? - gay and acespec

15. do you& consider the body to be transgender? - Yes, we are out as a transgender guy irl.

nonhuman asks

16. what system member is the strangest species? - we don't have many nonhumans. The weirdest is probably Breeze, who is a dryad (specifically the kind from the chronicles of Narnia)

17. do any system members have wings? - no, but Angel wants some

18. does your system have any animal system members? - nope

19. what is the weirdest part about being a nonhuman system member? - "It's weird having a functioning body I don't know what to do with it" - Zee (Corci is fronting, just relaying what he's hearing in headspace)

20. is the majority of your system human or nonhuman? - human, there's only 4 of us that are nonhuman

introject asks

21. do you have multiple system members from one source? - sigh yes, we have eleven introjects from nct

22. are most of your system’s introjects connected to their source? disconnected from their source? - most of them are pretty connected to their source

23. what is the weirdest source that an introject in your system has? - Phantom is pretty the weirdest, he's an introject of a song

24. are any of your system’s introjects in relationships with other system members? is their partner(s) an introject from the same source? different source? - We do have two introjects that are dating, they're from the same source. I don't think they want to share yet though.

25. do any of your system’s introjects have non-canon source memories? - none of them have source memories that we know of

syscourse asks (skipping all of these because we don't engage in syscourse)

26. do you engage in syscourse?

27. were you previously anti-endo?

28. if you could tell all anti-endos one thing, what would you tell them?

29. does your system have a collective opinion on syscourse, or does it vary?

30. do you think that syscourse is more helpful or harmful?

asks for the current fronter

31. who is your favorite member in the system? (alternatively, who are you closest to?) - I don't have favorites, but I do have a lot of respect for Chloe, she's very positive and does her best to take care of the body even though she struggles a lot.

32. which system member has the most based takes? - probably Angel

33. what is the funniest piece of system drama? - we don't have much 'fun' drama, but probably when Angel and Circus were talking and called Corci (me-_-) boring and then next time I fronted I was not having it lmao

34. do you enjoy being part of a system? - I do yeah, I know not everyone does though.

35. what’s something you like that no one else in the system likes? - most of us share interests, but I like ramen and napping more than the others.

[enbyrde]

aaaaa my friend and i were talking about like lgbtq+ shit at lunch today and pronouns were brought up, yeah?? and like she knows im nonbinary, she knows i use they/them, but she does not know i use neos

she was kind of-- complaining about how ‘there are so many labels today, i cant keep up with them all’ and like yeah there are a lot but it doesnt really matter to you?? if someone uses a label youve never heard of, ask them about it!! if they feel comfortable talking about it, ask them why they use that label!! most of us will have an actual reason for it, we’re not doing it for attention, we just want to be comfortable in our own skin

and back to the neopronoun thing-- most of us are actually pretty nice about it?? like yes, i get that they can be hard to adjust to, it can be difficult to add a whole new set of pronouns to your vocabulary, but for the most part, we’re very patient. we understand. if you mess up, thats okay. we’ll correct you and move on. no big deal. we understand

but the fact that people will look at things like xenogenders and neopronouns and be like ‘i dont understand this so i am going to look down on it’ makes me so mad?? like i know you just think we’re doing it for attention, to feel special, but thats not it. its not just fucking preteens wanting to be fancy with their little neopronouns, no. just because our minds work in different ways than yours doesnt give you the right to look down on our choices of self

anyway

this was a rant

[ixylle-d-from-the-stars]

For both/neutral to answer:

• What are neopronouns? Neopronouns/xenogenders are a micro label used to more accurately describe your sense of gender/lack thereof! Because of the intense neurological wiring that takes place in our brain, it tends to latch onto things either at an early age or later in life, and as a result for myself and something ive noticed in other neopronouns users is that they always knew they were connected to that thing in some way, or at the least was connected to it before they realized what it was. Basically, your brain is a complex spider web of vague concepts, and because your brain rarely perceives anything other than concepts and sensations it confuses things and thus, creates one concept from another! This is often what its like for me I suppose

• When and where do they originate from? They originate primarily from England before/around the 1700s from the research I have done, and have quite a few origins! Eg, when new languages were being discovered and language would sometimes mix, this formed a neo pronoun! As language developed people would use 'otherworldly' pronouns for people, and mixed terms, not only from other languages but straight up using their own words! (fae/faeself, although derived from the original word, is a nearly direct result of this as is other pronouns!) This doesn't cover all of it but it is a start! https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/guide-to-neopronouns#mbg-NRw9KnkTTn or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopronoun are good starts for research!

• When and why did neopronouns become more popular recently? Yes, I will admit the new influx of media and awareness has influenced this, but its more likely due to people realising that neopronouns are an 'option'. Its similar to a non-binary person or binary trans person learning about the terms transgender/non-binary. Its a word to a concept/meaning they may have been feeling previously and now can attach a word to it that can accurately describe what the person is feeling, exactly like most of the other LGBTQIA+ community!

For pro neopronouns/neopronoun users to answer: TO NOTE FOR ME PERSONALLY:

• Why do you feel most comfortable with these pronouns instead of pronouns like they/them? Same reason why a non binary person may uncomfortable being called he/him or she/her. It does not reflect who I am on the inside and who I am as a person, what my core identity is and it makes me want to literally jump out of my skin and not exist anymore. I do experience dysphoria from misgendering and my body parts that don't match.

• How do you come up with these pronouns? Call me clique or 'fake', but because of how big the neo pronoun community is on Tumblr I do often turn to this site, jsut to browse and see if there are ones I haven't thought of before! Although, more commonly I try to make sense of the concepts I feel, and then the word will either pop up or I will slowly learn about it and realize. The thing to remember about neo pronouns/xenogenders is that they are like any other 'normal' pronoun and my discovery of my identity (s) may look very similar to that journey of a binary trans person, jsut different words ig.

• I’ve seen posts of neopronoun users adding more and more pronouns to their profiles just to spite an anti-neopronoun person. Are they truly comfortable with those pronouns being used on them, or are they just doing it to spite these people? Although I know about these people, I cannot say if they are actually comfortable or not since its not my brain nor my place. For me, I have never done this. I have joked about it (in normal queer fashion "i use this set of pronouns as well! screw the cis!" followed by gay/trans jokes like most other queer/trans people joke) however have never added any pronouns I'm not at least 95% sure I'm comfortable with. Since I experience dysphoria it makes me very very dysphoric to be called anything other than pronouns I'm comfortable with.

• Do you use these pronouns in real life? Yes, to the people I am out to. I am not in a safe position to tell my parents/family members and such, however I am out and proud to my friends and even some classmates!

• If so, how do you get people to use your neopronouns in real life? Just like any other binary trans person or non-binary trans person. I ask them to use my pronouns and if they mess up I usually politely correct them after their finished speaking or in between sentences. The only cases I have ever gotten genuinely upset at someone for misgendering me was where they were doing so consciously. I had told them and explained politely and made sure they understood and they started shouting about how I would always be my birth gender and that I was a whole heap of nasty things I won't get into, and then (even now) they continue to use the wrong pronouns/name and It causes a lot of genuine distress.

• How do you use neopronouns like bunny/bunnyself in a sentence? e.g Hey! I just met up with the most amazing person, bunny was really kind to me! Bun's/Bunny's little brother was pestering bun a lot, but I could tell that even through all of that bunny was enjoying bunnyself/bunself a lot while we talked! I can't wait to meet up with bunny again! Basically like any other normal pronoun, but replace it with the corresponding word! She/Her/Herself He/Him/Himself Bunny/Bunnys/Bun/Bunnyself! http://www.pronouns.failedslacker.com/ is a good place to try some on for yourself or just enter some to see how they work!

• Neopronouns like paw/pawself don’t really make sense grammatically. And some people don’t like using grammatically incorrect sentences. How do you get around that, and how do you help people who are uncomfortable with using grammatically incorrect sentences? These sorts of neo pronouns are often called 'noun-pronouns' and are typically when someone uses a noun as a pronoun. Like I said in the previous answer, its essentially swapping out one word for another. Although i get that may be confusing (it was for me as well, don't worry! Sometimes it takes a while to get used to/wrap your head around and that is completely okay!) The best way to get around this is to ask if the person is comfortable with a different set, since most neo pronoun users have either multiple sets or are just comfortable with they/them as well. OR even more preferably is probably to practise, since most of the time from my experience someone saying it doesn't sound right or is wrong is because since their 'normal' words not pronouns, our brains confuse them! (eg, if he/him was a neo pronouns in a different universe, they would say things like 'him was so kind! i made a joke and made he laugh!" and such, but just with actual neo pronouns if htat makes sense.

• How do you pronounce pronouns like xir/xem/ey, or other pronouns similar to those? Personally I say: Xir/xem/xey = zer/zem/zey, or ecksir/ecksem/ecksey (depending on how the person who asked me to use them pronounces it, although that is typically how I saw it Ze/zem/zey = zeer/zeem/zeey

• Some people think that neopronouns are causing harm to trans rights. They also think that neopronouns are making it harder for trans people to be taken seriously. Do you agree or disagree? If you disagree, can you explain how neopronouns are not causing harm? The way I see it is that even if there were no neo pronoun users, trans people are often mocked and not taken seriously anyway. This is a terrible thing and if I could flip a switch and make trans people's lives better in any way I would do it even if it costed my own life. However, cis people, do not, and most likely will never fully understand the trans experience and will always nit-pick or make shit of Trans individuals. Frankly, I believe that seeing as/since we cannot find acceptance in the world around us, we may as well create our own world. We are not often loved by others because they do not understand and people who do not understand are scared, and often hate fueled. Because this motivates the way they think, the structure of their aab/cis mentality will always force trans people of any kind to conform, to follow their rules when literally their 'rules' entire point is to be pitted against us. People are afraid of things they do not understand, that they cannot categorize and control, that is human nature, but it means that even if every neo pronoun user, xenogender person or even non-binary person dissappeared forever and only binary Trans people exist, they would still react the same way. Frankly, to say it in very very simplified terms, its the 'fuck it and run' idea. I can and never will be able to harmoniously exist in the strict and bigoted world, and trans people struggle with that as it is enough, so if building my own world/future where I/the future generations wouldn't suffer is the easiest/only way, then so be it.

• What would you do if, hypothetically, neopronouns were genuinely causing harm? Like they are causing harm to trans rights, like some people think they are? Well, I would probably genuinely try to educate people and not use them, esp since the thought of making other people like me's lives hard makes me very uncomfortable and upset I would probably not be as comfortable using neo pronouns anymore/at all. I swear on my entire life and soul that I am not using neo pronouns to spite anyone or to be "qUirKy" or harm other trans people.

• What can people do to help make you more comfortable? At the very least, try to use my correct pronouns. I have a long list of ones I am connected with/feel comfortable with, and I don't necessarily want you to remember all of them or even get my pronouns right every time, but as long as I know your actually trying to get it right/making a conscious effort. I am so tired of constantly being forced to conform to follow to keep my head down and get into the neat boxes they have lined up for me, I don't want that. You do not need to understand every aspect of my identity, you don't have to understand it at all, I barely do because so much happens in your head that you aren't even aware of, how could I? All I ask is for people to just say "okay, cool!" And try not to mess up, like you would for any binary Trans person, Non-binary person, or cisgender person, I just want to be respected and accepted without fear and suffering

• Any other things you would like to add? Feel free to dm me if you want to talk about anything some more, ik i said a lot of stuff on this post and its a of of info! My dms are always open!!

Can someone explain neopronouns to me?

This is genuine. I went through both the anti neopronouns tags and pro neopronouns tags, but neither explain their sides good enough. I have questions for both sides, and I want some genuine answers without people getting mad at each other. For people answering, I ask that you keep in mind that these are genuine questions. Please don’t get mad.

For people answering, you don’t have to answer all questions. I know some of these questions are pretty heavy.

For both/neutral to answer:

• What are neopronouns?

• When and where do they originate from?

• When and why did neopronouns become more popular recently?

For pro neopronouns/neopronoun users to answer:

• Why do you feel most comfortable with these pronouns instead of pronouns like they/them?

• How do you come up with these pronouns?

• I’ve seen posts of neopronoun users adding more and more pronouns to their profiles just to spite an anti-neopronoun person. Are they truly comfortable with those pronouns being used on them, or are they just doing it to spite these people?

• Do you use these pronouns in real life?

• If so, how do you get people to use your neopronouns in real life?

• How do you use neopronouns like bunny/bunnyself in a sentence?

• Neopronouns like paw/pawself don’t really make sense grammatically. And some people don’t like using grammatically incorrect sentences. How do you get around that, and how do you help people who are uncomfortable with using grammatically incorrect sentences?

• How do you pronounce pronouns like xir/xem/ey, or other pronouns similar to those?

• Some people think that neopronouns are causing harm to trans rights. They also think that neopronouns are making it harder for trans people to be taken seriously. Do you agree or disagree? If you disagree, can you explain how neopronouns are not causing harm?

• What would you do if, hypothetically, neopronouns were genuinely causing harm? Like they are causing harm to trans rights, like some people think they are?

• What can people do to help make you more comfortable?

• Any other things you would like to add?

For anti neopronouns to answer:

• Why are you uncomfortable with calling people by neopronouns?

• Are you alright with pronouns like xir/zen/ey etc.? If not, why?

• Alternatively, are you alright with pronouns such as void/voidself? If not, why?

• If you said that you were alright with one but not the other, why?

• Some languages don’t have gender neutral pronouns like English does, so there are neopronouns in other languages for gender neutral people. What are your thoughts on that?

• Some people think that neopronouns are causing harm to trans rights. They also think that neopronouns are making it harder for trans people to be taken seriously. Do you agree or disagree? If you agree, can you explain how neopronouns are causing harm?

• What would you do if, hypothetically, neopronouns aren’t causing harm? Like they had no effect on transphobia, like some people think they do?

• Any other things you would like to add?

To people that answer these questions, thank you so much for your response!

[ian-loves-fanfiction]

Welp! I love these and this has some very unique questions so let's do this! -Tech

---

1. do you have a collective name? how was it chosen?

Our collective name is Tehnika, and we are The Tehnika System! At first it was The Architechs, because my online moniker is and has been Architech for a very long time, and then it was The Tech System.

However, as I, we, came to accept our plurality, we wanted to choose something that was less focused on me, Tech.

Tehnika was picked because it's (supposedly) Estonian for technical (even if it isn’t me, we got a brand to keep /lh). At first it was just our collective name, but then we decided that well, if Tehnika is who we are together, why not have our system name reflect that? And boom! Here we are now.

---

2. how do new system members choose their names?

Well a lot of us are fictives, so we kinda come with names, but when we need to choose a name we usually go onto baby name sites, or ask friends to help. We find a beginning letter or sound of a name we like and try similar names until one fits. Can take some time but it's worth it.

Mine is the exception lol. Got called it in a dream and was like "I like that" and boom I chose it as mine. I'm transgender and the host, so it wasn't really a "new headmate" name choose and more so a "new gender" name choose.

---

3. are there any system members who identify with the body’s name?

Nope! Well, sorta? As stated above I am transgender, and no one here identifies with the body's deadname. But since I am the core/host, the body's name sorta is Ian, it's what people outside the system call me, and I identify with it, so yes?

---

4. which system member has the most stereotypical name?

Probably Charles or Finn lol. Depends on which stereotype you're going with.

Wait, no. Henry. Henry has the most generic, stereotypical name and we love him for it /lh.

---

5. which system member has the weirdest name?

Mumza probably. Or Ambrosia.

---

9. does your system have system members who age slide or age regress?

*Waves* I age regress when stressed. The more stress I'm under the younger I am.

We also have Evian, who age slides between 4-8, sometimes 3-9, and another person who slides between 8-16. We also have a static little who stays at 3.

---

6. how does age work for your system’s members?

Age is finicky here. I'm 17 and age with body, except when I regress. Age is really dependent how old one feels they are, or sometimes influenced by their source if they're an introject.

---

7. does your system have ageless system members?

Mumza! She's a goddess.

---

8. who is the oldest system member? how old are they?

Besides Mumza who is an immortal being, probably Charles, who is 25.

---

10. if you have them, do your system’s littles want to be treated like children or adults?

Children, for the most part. They are kids, after all.

---

11. do system members tend to have similar sexualities, or are they different for each member?

We have quite a diverse range of identities here. I have noticed that a fair amount of us fall on the aro/ace spectrum though.

---

12. does your system have more male, female, or nonbinary system members? is there any overlap between those?

We have mostly masc-alligned members, with the second most being fem-alighned, but we still have quiet a few enby-alligned folks. With quiet a bit of overlap heh.

---

13. do any system member use xenogenders or neopronouns?

You're looking at someone who coined their own semi-gender related term here! I plan on making a post about it sometime actually, once I get a flag down. So far only me and one other use neos, but that might change!

---

14. Does your system collectively identify as anything? if so, what?

Not really, no. We're all different. Aside from the implicit neurodivergency of being plural, that is.

---

15. do you& consider the body to be transgender?

Yep!

---

16. what system member is the strangest species?

Probably Mumza, if immortal goddess of death counts as a species. If not, well, *gestures to our rottmnt fictives bar April*

---

17. do any system members have wings?

Meeeee I do! It's weird cause I can sorta feel them, especially if I'm thinking about it. There's some level of dysphoria that comes from being inhuman in a humans body, I feel like. Mumza has wings when she wants them.

---

18. does your system have any animal system members?

No one here is fully animal, though some of us have animal forms we can change into. I don't like to change if I'm fronting though. ✨Dysphoria✨

---

19. what is the weirdest part about being a nonhuman system member?

The phantom sensations probably. I can feel them, sorta, even if they're not really there. This applies to both my wings and tail, and ears if I have them (my form in headspace sometimes just. Changes. I can lose or gain hybrid features, but it's almost always wolf/avian related.)

---

20. is the majority of your system human or nonhuman?

We have 15 nonhuman members and 10 human members. So, nonhuman.

---

21. do you have multiple system members from one source?

Yep! The only fictive here without a sourcemate is Mumza.

---

22. are most of your system’s introjects connected to their source? disconnected from their source?

It varies. Some are more connected than others.

---

23. what is the weirdest source that an introject in your system has?

Hmmm... Probably Iris. Her source is a an old friend of mine, but she's quite different from her.

---

24. are any of your system’s introjects in relationships with other system members? is their partner(s) an introject from the same source? different source?

Well, I'm sorta dating one of our introjects, and Henry and Charles (same source) are dating each other.

---

25. do any of your system’s introjects have non-canon source memories?

Yep. Some of them have a good amount of fanon influences, so yeah.

Asks for current fronter:

31. who is your favorite member in the system? (alternatively, who are you closest to?)

I don't have a *favorite,* per say, but I'm pretty close with Triple Threat (Henry, Charles, and Ellie) and the Disaster Twins (Leo and Don).

---

32. which system member has the most based takes?

I'm not sure what based means TvT but Leo doesn't like chocolate.

---

33. what is the funniest piece of system drama?

Leo doesn't like chocolate. That is a crime.

---

34. do you enjoy being part of a system?

It took some time but... Yes. They're my best friends, my family, one is even my lover. I couldn't live without them at this point. I have fun watching them discover themselves when they get to front. I have fun chatting with them in headspace.

They help me, they protect me, and they love me, and in turn I get to do the same with them.

---

Going to end it there, as the last question isn't that important, but yeah that was fun! Thanks for making that Mercury. /g
