question 50: do you "sign-off" posts? why or why not?

[thegeekconstellation]

You are not ableist for how you experience plurality because your plurality is not a commentary on other plurals.

[thegeekconstellation]

question 29: do you have a system journal? what do you do in it if you do?

[thegeekconstellation]

btw 'syscourse' and plural infighting isn't accomplishing anything. back in the late 90s and early 2000s, the only communities and resources for plurals that were widely available were for and by non-traumagenic systems. the only people who were advocating for normalizing and accepting plurality on a large scale were non-traumagenic systems. if you did research into plurality 10 - 15 years ago, most of the results that came up would have been experiences written by spiritual and natural plurals.

many people at the time were expressing their dislike of forcing every single plural to identify as if they had trauma- many found this insulting to themselves, and rightfully so! no one should be forced to identify in a way they don't agree with just to rightfully be a part of a community they already occupy. this obsession with "you can only be plural if you have trauma" has only come about extremely recently. i found out about plurality through the otherkin community. i was actually told about DID by someone in the spiritual plurality community. people don't seem to understand that most non-traumagenic systems have respect for traumagenic systems and don't gatekeep their spaces to prevent us from entering.

older plural spaces on the web like healthymultiplicity accepted all plurals. the goal of the community was to show that you can live as plural and not have it be a tragedy or something to "fix". if anything, folks with dissociative disorders owe a LOT to non-traumagenic systems for pushing to normalize plurality without implying that we HAVE to integrate our headmates and try to stop being plural. a huge part of the early online plural community was there to push that plurals can and do live happy lives and shouldn't view their plurality as a bad thing

it's not going to make singlet society see us in a better light. it's not going to get people to understand plurality better. it's not going to get us better mental health resources. it's not going to improve the quality of care for dissociative and traumagenic systems. all you're doing is bullying someone else that you don't understand simply because you don't agree with them.

you're not going to recover from your trauma or understand your own plurality better by denying the existence of other types of plurality. you're not "making the community safer" by gatekeeping. telling other people how their brains work is policing their identities. whether or not you want to accept it, if you forcefully kick endos out of plural spaces, you are the cop you claim to hate.

fighting with people on your own team will never net you a victory. to every other dissociative and traumagenic system: endos are on your side. you are wearing the same jersey. you are made of the same flesh and blood. enough. come together to share your similarities instead of fighting over differences. celebrate the diversity that plurality offers. don't take someone else's identity personally. someone can share the space with you without having to match exactly how you identify. diversity is what makes a community thrive.

Sending love and support to systems with religious trauma. This time of year can be very pleasant for some, but also very difficult for others. We see you and are here for you. Please remember to be kind to yourself during this time.

One of our Gatekeepers, Archie.

Drawing older characters is a challenge but I wanted to capture Archie's face, so kept trying until it looked good.

Favorite art of the year definitely. ;0; It's taken so long to get to this point I'm so thrilled to have gotten back on our feet creatively, after all this time. Huge thanks to Evan of course but to everyone else as well. -Beccs

Sometimes being a fictionkin/fictive heavy system means that you can't watch a TV show without dissociating and not being entirely sure of who you are at any given moment. Sometimes you just become brain soup. Can't fit everyone in the theatre to watch? Blend them, that'll surely fix it!

monoconscious culture is not being able to tell if you're just fixating on a certain character or if you actually are said character
