Actually, regarding that last ask, a LOT of the time when you see us reblogging ship art its because its a relationship that exists in-system or with our partner system ^^

The fact that “my soulbonds” are even more of a daily fixture, source of continual support, and active participants in my life now than they were when I started acknowledging their existence 20+ years ago. And the fact that once[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sinister System terminology, differences in fronting vs shifts Some people seemed interested in our internal experience, so I’ve written up a little bit of a guide to help it make sense. system member: a distinct person/soul who is one of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
we all have separate romantic and sexual orientations, but some are more common, and of course the orientations of common fronters are more dominant. It averages out to as a collective, us functionally being bisexual/pansexual, polyamorous, demisexual, and aplatonic, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The question about system dormancy reminded me that I (💻🔪) basically didn’t experience any of the 2010s. I hopped straight from 2010 all the way to 2019. That was sure an adjustment when I woke up again. XD
Hi friends! Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry you’re in a stressful position right now. If what you’re looking for is assurance that this is not an uncommon plural experience, and that this has happened to other plurals, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Slightly complicated question! We’re all (broadly) fans of all of our source media (for a given value of being a “fan”), and we all broadly hold the same opinions on the ships in our source media because they’re directly relevant[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We are a fictive plural system, and we write a lot of fanfiction about our source media. We also have a partner– also a fictive system– who is our writing partner. When the circumstances are right, writing fanfiction based on[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
t0bysstuff2: “why is your memory so bad?” “"Why are you always so out of it” “your like a completely different person!” See I have an explanation for this but I don’t think your gonna like the explanation
therainbowrollsystem: silly stuff has been happening insys and it’s made me curious. reblog and put in the tags what your weirdest/funniest fictive relationship is (bonus points if it’s cross-source and/or a polycule) because its genuinely really funny to us
Sometimes switching in is a lot like that moment when you walk into a room and forget why you came in there. Except often you’re just sitting still and you’ve forgotten literally everything you were doing, and perhaps the last[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

currently trying to convey the page in fiction writing that system feeling when one system member really wants to say something and another system member is trying REALLY FUCKING HARD to shut them up.
Oh. Ooog. Urgh… 😅😅😅 I’m sorry, anon, character writing is probably the only area of writing where we are unqualified to give advice to people. “Have 25 different people in your head and use them as a "commedia dell’arte” style[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
the beautiful lack of giving a shit about something that would have given one of your system mates a rage spike and a 30 minute rant. Block and move on 🙂
Our system doesn’t have specific roles at all, no. There are however certain tasks that often bring a particular member to the front or we request that they be the one to do them. Here’s a sample of a few[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In our system– not necessarily representative of other systems– it is very common for members who are not at the front to be asleep while in the back. It is less common for us to be conscious of members who[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
tfw you are front stuck and all the things you wanna do are only going to make you more front stuck and they’ll also disrupt current system stability :c
I’m so glad! Fanfiction and writing is a big tool in our pocket for understanding our history and expressing our feelings toward one another.
Hi friend! 😀 Honestly glad to be social with people. The answer is that 99% of our F/Os are in either our system, or our partner system. I’d say about half our our F/Os a are specifically in-system ^^ There[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So it turns out both our system (sinister system), and our partner’s system (deluge system), had joked privately internally about calling themselves “the military industrial complex”. So we decided that now that’s the combined name for both our systems together,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ll be honest, we’re not sure we have a strong idea of what the standard “protector stereotype” even is. Would you elaborate for us? We have lots of system members who are aggressive or hostile in certain circumstances, and many[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
having a hyperfixation that the rest of the system doesn’t share fucking sucks.
if you’re ever wondering why I (🌀😎) specifically seem a bit… let’s say outdated… in my posting style I will tell you a secret. It’s because I accidentally teleported from 2012 to 2022 without experiencing any of the time in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thank you so much for the compliment, but– I will level with you, pal, we kinda cheat 🤣 a) There are multiple system members for whom writing is one of their primary hobbies, and we also tend to be the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hi, friend! Not an offensive question at all, and we are happy to answer! Each of our system members individually considers themselves fictionkin. We are each, in the system, a single fictionkin person. The system is made up of a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I’m really sorry, anon, this is actually something we don’t have. We have lots of resources for questioning being fictionkin, otherkin, etc, but we have been plural for so long and it’s so innate to our life and how we[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Yeah, honestly pal, all the fucking time. We tend to avoid mirrors a lot because of how deeply the body’s reflection can fuck with our heads sometimes. darkheart-despairs
I don’t know how much this helps, but here is something that we remind ourselves regarding self and delusion. Being plural and being singlet are both completely internal experiences with no method of outside verification. There is in fact no[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Many systems have system names, but not all. I think it is more common for systems who frequently interact as systems in social media spaces to have names, because it makes us easier to refer to as a collective, Source:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I think the single worst thing that can happen to you as a fictionkin/fictive is when canon gives you a trait that is quite clearly meant to be a joke at the audience’s expense. And ordinarily you should be able[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s really neat to see how common it is! I wish people discussed how they perceive internal experiences more <3 context link Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
a lot of the time we end up with our memories in third person viewpoint and whoever was fronting at the time with their internal appearance instead of the body’s appearance. Does this happen to anybody else, whether plural or[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dating for systems is based on body age and your comfort. If your body is technically “of age” to be dating, but you “feel” too young for it and it makes you uncomfortable, you are allowed to be uncomfortable and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m guessing from context so far they don’t know what fictives are yet. So I guess, as soon as they read this message, and then google it. 🤷♀️ context link Source: xxblackheartbiohazardsxx
I have actually never even heard that argument that “only systems can use the singular we”! I mean it’s called the “royal we” for a reason! 🤣 Anybody who wants to use “we/us” can do so! Source: xxharryosbornxx
Anon, the advice I give you depends strongly on an important factor. Are your F/Os system members, soulbonds, or other real, people with agency of their own that you share your internal experience with in some way? or are they[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Sometimes we will play a teasing game of it, actually! And also we do like cooking for each other. There’s a few system members who are just abysmal cooks to the rest of us, so when they’re around someone else[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
What do you mean “clinical”? Do you mean it’s language used by diagnosed DID systems, or is it like transmeds who use weird language to gatekeep who’s “really” trans? Both. It is language that is generally only used by plurals[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s our personal belief, and the belief of many on the greater plural community, that plurality can manifest, awaken, or be discovered at any age. Clinical purists of the “model of structural dissociation” often dispute this, but they aren’t even[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
