just gonna say it one more time for anyone who didnt hear it:
ENDOGENIC IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH NOT DISORDERED. ENDOGENIC SYSTEMS CAN BE DISORDERED AND HAVE TRAUMA AFFECT THEIR SYSTEM EVEN IF IT DIDNT FORM FROM TRAUMA.

Plural Culture is having to deal with flashbacks for events you don't even remember
Sometimes it's just emotional/physical flashbacks
Sometimes the flashback happens you you immediately forget what it was about once it's done
Either way it sucks ass

Unfriendly fucking reminder that (most) systems can't control who they introject and you should never fakeclaim someone period. And you especially shouldn't fakeclaim someone cuz they happen to have a factive. Fuck off with that bullshit.

one of the most important things about dissociative identity disorder and generally being a system that i wish people would understand is that it truly isn’t as cut and dry as it may seem for member count.
you’ll see people who say they have “six alters” and then immediately assume it’s six fully fleshed out equal individuals with no confusion or fuzziness regarding identity. that’s simply not true in a majority of cases, as i have seen.
most systems still VERY much deal with confusion regarding potential splits, go through dissociative episodes where they’re unsure of who they are, sometimes feel no attachment towards any identities, feel like they might have split and then suddenly that person is gone, unsure if alters they haven’t heard from often have gone dormant, not sure how to react when alters do come out of dormancy, etc.
it’s not a fun feeling and it’s genuinely unfair in certain situations to force systems to list every single alter to you with full certainty, as if it will never change. because it will. for so many different reasons, systems will grow, they will shrink, they will fuse, they will develop. you can’t expect the person with the dissociative disorder and lack of core identity to be able to keep up a perfected list of forever, it’s simply impossible. you may have alters who stick with you, but that doesn’t mean changes won’t happen.
and systems who may be reading this — please don’t feel bad. you are not a hassle, you are not a headache, and you are not an inconvenience for simply coping with something like this. it’s out of your control and the only thing you can do is continue to cope to find ways to help yourself retrain from these reactions. please don’t allow yourself to be harmed by others who don’t understand what you are going through. there are people who will accept and love you for who you are, all of you.
past, present, and future.

bruh i hate when you’re blurry and you feel like your identity is right on the tip of your tongue and you just can’t figure it out but you’re so close it’s like edging for DID

You can love being a system,
You can hate being a system
You can both enjoy it and it also feel like hell,
No matter your feelings on being a system there valid, people act like its either hell or the best thing ever, it can be both, it doesn't have to be one or the other

i don't know if we will leave this up, because we aren't sure if it comes across how we would like. but the alter who wrote this, yellowfang, has wanted to create it for some time, so we opted to try.
we, once again, apologize for any art style inconsistencies. the comic artwork itself was worked on by several of us.

also i would like for people to stop making "alternate/multiple personalities" jokes, unless you have osddid youre just further spreading stigma and misinformation as that joke came from the outdated and misinformed terminology use of multiple personality disorder.
mpd is increadibly outdated and its coiner is ableist, this is a topic multiple people have gone over in the past so i wont say anything more.
the joke itself implies people who grew up with an non-fully developed sense of self are crazy because 'they have more than one personality' when people with osddid, the people the joke is ctually about, actually have a split sense of self, a dissociated identity, dissociation caused by traumatic and stressful events specifically during childhood development.
its not multiple personalities, while yes those with alters or parts who front andswitch out do often have seperate and differing personalities, theyre not simply just personalities.
the joke spreads stigma and isnt funny. its not a joke, stop using it.

Plural culture is not knowing who actually is fronting most of the time so you just default to the "host" even if you dont know if you are the host or blurry or maybe someone else and it's honestly exhausting at this point

being a traumagenic system/plural is literally just "this is too fucking much for one person to handle. *speaks into an intercom* assemble the team, we need backup"

please do not let online system spaces convince you that you need to label and have every single thing in your system figured out. that’s an extremely unrealistic goal and you’re not any sort of faker for not knowing every single thing.
just be.

different types of fronting (explained for singlets)
ref.: going from an alter to the other is called “switching”. if mark ¹ is fronting, and then, suddenly, jack ¹ is fronting, the brain switched.
• normal fronting. an alter is active, conscious, and controls the body.
• co fronting. two or more alters are active, conscious, and control the body.
• coconscious or co-con. one or multiple parts are conscious, but don't control the body. usually in combination with one or multiple parts fronting.
• being frontstuck. an alter being “stuck” in front for a long time. the time varies/depends on the system.
• rapid switching. as the name says, this is when fronts switch very rapidly.
