Worst Ways to Come Out as Plural

"What's your person-per-person stat? One? *spits* Pathetic."

"You know the Yeerks? Well..."

"This face is actually our humansona, and this body is our skinsuit."

"Guess why M. Night Shyamalan is afraid of me."

Obscurum ("Ub-skYUr-um") and Hideaway ("hIde-awAEy")

[pt. Obscurum ("ub-skyur-um") and Hideaway ("hIde-awAEy") /end pt.]

Definition: A system role defined by the alter regularly hiding within or behind other alters, using them as a facade or shield of sorts, to obscure themself from others. These facade-alters are called "Hideaways." These alters may or may not be aware that they are doing this. They can go unnoticed for a long time by both system members and out-of-system loved ones due to them appearing to not be there. They can temporarily fuse with (aka "Inhabit or Possess") another alter to further obscure their presence, and can seem to simply "become them." They may have any number of Hideaways they can inhabit when they need or want to, though usually they can only inhabit one at a time. They may seem to have no personality of their own, and finding their own identity can be difficult for many of these alters as it goes against the purpose of their role. They may also have one or more additional roles, such as a Mirror, Harborer, Prism, Masker, Host, Emotional Protector and/or Processor, Masker, Innkeeper, Interra, and many others.

Hideaways are often someone who the Obscurum either admires, wants to be like, enjoys the presence of, has an interest in or loves (this can be romantically, platonically, familially, etc.), or wants to help in some way, potentially through helping them develop coping mechanisms, emotional healing, or processing trauma they hold.

The exact reason for an Obscurum being present in a system can vary, but in general they hold the conviction, perhaps without even being aware of it, that their presence must remain unknown.

Hideaways are sometimes "Sidelined," meaning they are temporarily unused by the Obscurum, or "Vacated" which is to be permanently cast-aside in favor of other Hideaways. This could be due to any number of reasons, but a few common examples would be that the Obscurum is close to being discovered due to their influence on their Hideaway's personality being noticed, the Obscurum has found a different Hideaway which is more appealing to them and/or they have grown bored of their current one, the Obscurum and the Hideway have grown apart or are too different for them to easily inhabit the other, or the Hideaway has become aware of the Obscurum's presence and is rejecting them or is pushing them out.

Coined by us, The Wandering Graveyard, aka The Many Gates Multiplex. Others are welcome to make their own flag for this term, however we will likely get around to making our own eventually. Coined for our system's host and innkeeper, Vengeance. This term is made with NPD & BPD in mind, but is not exclusive to those with either/both disorders.

There is no DNI for this term, however our blog itself is Pro-Non-Traumagenic systems, and Pro-Self-Diagnosis. We are also supporters of those with Cluster-B PDs and do not believe in "Narcissistic Abuse." Please read our blog's DNI before reblogging this post.

Anti-endos fuck off

Alright. Sit down, shut up, and listen up. Yes, I'm a fictive. If you've got a problem with that, you can fuck right off. Yes, I'm a persecutor, a protector, a swordswoman, and an avenger. If you've got a problem with any of that, you can also fuck right off.

I'll do my best to play nice, though. Just don't make your opinions my problem and we should be chill.

On Trauma Gatekeeping

Remy again, and today I’m here to talk about the massive issue of trauma gatekeeping.

Trauma gatekeeping is where someone tries to define for someone else whether or not something was trauma or, in this case, ‘traumatic enough’ to cause DID/OSDD.

Believe it or not, this is actually a massive, /massive/ issue in both endogenic and anti-endogenic communities, and I’ll explain why.

In endogenic communities, there’s always the general consensus that it’s ‘sysmeds’ or anti-endos that are gatekeeping the definition of trauma and what can be traumatic to someone, but actually, I’ve seen a lot of potential DID/OSDD systems talk about their childhoods that are very clearly traumatic and act like that had no effect on their psyche and didn’t very possibly cause their system. They’re gatekeeping trauma for themselves and in the process doing damage by not letting themselves heal, but also doing damage to other people by continuously pedaling the idea that trauma has to be ‘severe’ to cause DID/OSDD when that’s not exactly true, and I’ll get to that in a minute.

Anti-endogenics also have a very similar problem; they refer to the trauma that causes DID/OSDD as ‘severe’, when that’s not really a measurable label. There’s no real way to measure trauma as ‘severe’, because that implies the existence of ‘less severe’ and ‘less bad’ trauma, which is a really damaging idea considering the fact that people with DID/OSDD very often tend to downplay their trauma, and referring to the trauma that causes DID/OSDD as ‘severe’ only furthers that idea, considering we all have a history of comparing traumas to other people’s and going ‘oh so they had Real trauma’ and downplaying our own. This, again, leads to people thinking they don’t have DID/OSDD when they may actually have it because they don’t think their trauma was ‘severe’ enough.

In actuality, the trauma that causes DID/OSDD doesn’t have to be ‘severe’ in any measurable manner, it /actually/ has to be *severely traumatic*, (and repetitive). ‘Severe’ isn’t necessarily a measurable statement in regards to trauma, but if we’re talking about how a certain trauma *impacted* a child instead of how severe we /think/ the trauma is, then we can get a more accurate idea of what kind of trauma affects children as a whole, and what kind of trauma can cause DID/OSDD.

So what kind of trauma can cause DID/OSDD? Any kind of trauma, actually.

Any kind of trauma can cause a child to develop DID/OSDD so long as the trauma is repetitive, the child has a high ability to dissociate, and often times this also comes with a child having a disorganized attachment to their parents, (loving their parents but also fearing them in some ways, often fearing punishment for rules they weren’t told or don’t fully understand), or not having a support system to help comfort them through the trauma and healthily process it, (for example, getting them a therapist to help them understand and get past the trauma).

I think it would be really helpful to stop categorizing trauma as ‘severe’ because that leads people to believe their trauma is lesser than others. Instead, I think we should use language that defines trauma by how it impacted the person instead of by how severe we think it is, because often times our view on how severe we see something is very often skewed by our own experiences.

Terms we can use instead are ‘severely traumatic’, (this one categorizes trauma based on how severely it traumatized the person instead of how severe we think it is), and ‘repetitive trauma’, (this erases the idea of ‘severe’ entirely, and instead replaces it with what actually causes DID/OSDD; repetitive trauma, specifically during childhood).

I hope this helps people to understand trauma better, and helps them to stop unintentionally undermining both their own and other people’s trauma by trying to define trauma as ‘severe’ and ‘lesser than’. ^^

Beautiful

We’re starting to see our plurality as something beautiful. It’s a group of people just trying their best. We pick each other up when one falls; we ensure we keep using our grounding techniques when one is anxious; we create amazing things. Everyone has value. It’s a lovely place to be at right now.

🤯: If You’re Comfortable Sharing, When Was Your “Oh Sh*t, I’m Not A Singlet” Moment?

it was a gradual thing honestly. for most of our childhood/early teen years things really didn't add up at all. once we started to notice that communication between us became easier, but we still didn't really know what was going on. it wasn't until we broke down and used Google a bunch that we could finally find words that fit our experiences. after that we ended up making a tumblr account where we then got more connected to pluralblr and it actually kinda sunk in more

not very grand i know
