I DREW MY SISTERRRR
hello people of this websiteeee!! I have drawn my sister (also known as da host) and yeah!! (She doesn't actually look like this, but alderwinged and stuffs so it's how she wants to look lol)
and then before I did da color:
HeadSpace House (Proper Intro)!!!
Hello.. Internet!
I made a simple little website with google sites that i had already posted on here... But i was in a rush making said post-
Sooooo... I wanted to give it a proper introduction!! =D
Here's the link now if you don't wanna read the rest lol:
HeadSpace house is a little "Show" (The eps are read, but i'm calling it a show for some reason?? Yeah, no, I can't really explain this one-) that I've created! I started it at school (Oh, yes, the wonderful school computers that need me to filter out "Bad" words with "@" and "!"s and such-) And then turned it into a whole little project!! =D I had been working on how to get a working website every day in study hall for like a week and then finally did it!!
Exp that it was on my school acc and there was no way to move it to my personal acc.. (Yes, I did straight-up remake the whole thing. It took a few hours.) But I got it done anyways and was able to post it! =D
Now, HeadSpace House is (If you say it before or guessed from the title) About plurality! It's actually about the inside of a girl's head and her headspace and her "Alters" (Typically referred to as the voices-) and their life! = )
It's 100% based off of real life. My life. And I personally LOVE it (I'm biased towards my own work. Who woulda guessed-) I just really hope that you (And all of Tumblr) Likes this little thing I've created, all based on actual things that happened, Or the actual event that happened, no editing.. I really hope that you enjoy it!!!!!!!!! = )
Btw: For updates on this website go follow: @headspacehouseofficial (My other acc!!)
This guy has left the same message in like 5 different places...
So we have a new member, an introject, and he is struggling to adapt to things a bit and feeling kind of emotional. But I have my own stuff going on too and don't have the energy really to deal with this rn. I'm just...augh...tired. I wish I could help him more but I really don't even know what to do since this has never happened for us before
It's so wild to me still how different some of the others are. And it's no wonder I would try to supress the differences. It can be kinda scary and uncomfortable to suddenly feel like you hate something you love or feel suddenly angry for no reason. And that's just being influenced by *one* of them. It's so strange sometimes of course my instinct is to think it's not real.
This is random but I made and have been regularly filling out this personal form to judge when I am dissociated and how I am feeling and this silly form is doing more for my denial than anything I've ever done. I can go back and see the other answers and stuff that don't align with me and know that I wasn't just imagining it all. I really was not myself for those times no matter what I want to pretend
It's always strange to me when fictives appear that they're never the character from the show or whatever that I'm actually obsessed with. It'll be someone kinda random that I would never expect
Noticing and acknowledging and even accepting what it feels like to co-front has been a very big hurdle for us. Maybe because I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone else describe the sensation in quite the same way as we experience it. It's a little hard to explain properly but I found some images that kind of translate the feeling.
tw: images may mess with eyes or impose feelings of unreality
Most of the time we feel like 'ourselves' (i.e. the one correlated with our irl name/Des) but who is easily influenced by the others.
Only, when one of the others front, Des doesn't necessarily leave front or even develop amnesia and can usually still speak. It feels like the above images, with two beings occupying the same space. Afterwards Des will remember the basics of what transpired but as if it happened to another person or was a dream--with details missed and emotions muted or lost from the time.
tw: drugs, weed
So does anyone else notice that when they smoke/are high that some others (I still haven't found a word I like) are more likely and/or easier to front? Like in the past some of them didn't like the feeling and would avoid front. I've noticed that there are particular others that consistently are okay with fronting while high. It's kind of strange and definitely I think contributes to my denial and confusion. Unfortunately now days I am more likely to be high to some degree than sober. Dissociation also feels different when high which is another factor. It's just so hard to quit. (This post isn't about that, though ...)
Anyways...am I alone here?
As someone who really struggles with unclear rules/concepts, being a system is a very difficult idea to grasp or accept personally. Every few years I go through a cycle of denial and then rediscovery and exploration that eventually I get frustrated with and abandon. Perhaps it's a lack of self assurance in myself. Whatever it is, I hope this time is different somehow.
It's hard to do the difficult thing when it's much easier to just continue trudging along in a fog.
Petition: Upholding Plural Rights and Plural Voices
The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) recently had a panel conference on “DID and social media,” featuring harmful and offensive content denouncing self-diagnosis and spreading the narrative that most systems online are faking it for the attention. In this conference, they showed footage of several Systems, without their consent, in order to publicly shame them and use them as examples of the “Imitative DID” that they claimed was rampant online. As a non-disordered System, we stand with those with DID and against those who would spread harmful claims that a majority of Plurals are lying about their Plurality for online clout.
This petition was created by The Plural Association, an organization created by and for Plurals, including those with professionally diagnosed DID.

I don’t know if a term like this exists already so I made my own and I’m sharing it
Dark Moon- A Headmate/Tupla or subsystem that only appears while another headmate/Tulpa or whole other system is asleep or temporarily dormant. Dark moons are, in my system, typically darker (not necessarily evil, villainous, or even edgy) in personality and almost like or the antithesis or evil twin/complete opposite of whatever headmate/tulpa/system they replace, but not entirely and if you use this term they don’t have to be. They can also possess the negative traits of the tulpa/headmate/system they replace but bigger and worse. Headmates who are dark moons can call themselves Dark Moons, Black Lunettes/Black Lunets, or Dark Lunettes/Lunets if they like any of those terms.
Temporary Dark Moon flag
purples for magic and mystery, vaguely related
reds for dark personalities
shadow overlay to represent their existence
it's because they are :> <3
Headmate who (with much love in his heart) calls the others losers
.
anti-endo logic: endogenic systems don't exist, quick, bully them until they develop enough trauma to become a REAL plural
woaaah we hadn't heard of these terms yet. that's really useful.
thinking, we do feel kinda cephaconscious actually, it's sometimes hard to tell who's fronting and it took us forever to develop the inner tools to figure out who's who and who said what
Here's to cephaconscious systems!
Usually, systems fall under monoconscious (having one collective consciousness), or polyconscious (each headmate having their own consciousness). However, this isn't always the case!
Cephaconscious is defined as a system that has "fluid, monoconscious-like switching, but members of the system who are not in front have their own, separate consciousness in headspace/are polyconscious in headspace" [via Pluralpedia].
Shoutout to cephaconscious systems who:
Have a hard time telling who's fronting due to the way they switch
Blur more frequently than other systems
Have difficulties accessing headspace, or needing lots of effort to go to the innerworld
Feel like they "become" the person they're switching with
And any other cephaconscious experience I may have missed!
Having an uncommon consciousness type is super cool! You're so, so loved and unique! The plural community supports you, always!
Don't forget to be yourself today!

WAIT BECAUSE WHY DID I JUST REALIZE THAT SIMPLY PLURAL HAS THAT LOGO BECAUSE ITS AN & MEANING AND. THATS SO COOL WHAT??
trying to unlearn misinfo and beliefs brought upon us from our abusers is by far one of the hardest things that we’ve ever had to do for our recovery, but we’re progressing.
Do you have alters that speak different languages? If so, which languages? :0
We personally don’t have any alters that speak different languages. While collectively we know a bit of Spanish, there’s no one who speaks a different language exclusively, at least not that we know of! Who knows, haha. Thank you for the ask!
mentions of sexual assault and grooming
nah because what is up with being confident in your memory that you were sexually assaulted (and you still are being sexually harassed and groomed btw) but the perpetrator shows basic human courtesy once and now you’re the delusional lying fuck.
🦴 - Is anyone in your system dating? If so, who is the strangest pair?
Yep! Only two as far as we’re aware, but they’re not exactly strange, especially since they were kind of in a situation ship in source.
💀 - Is there a particular source you have a lot of fictives from?
Oh, definitely. I stare at Slay the Princess in horror.
🪦 - Who has the strangest habits?
Well, we have one person, but I don’t think they’d like to share it so I’ll just go for the next weirdest one. Collecting insect corpses and random rocks.
⚰️ - Do you have any nonverbal headmates?
Yep! Involuntary and voluntarily!
🕷 - Who is the worst at masking?
The British one. Or the littles, but they mostly stay inside anyway so it’s not too big of a deal.
🕸 - How did your headmates get their names?
Depends on the alter, some find a name that feels right, some do extensive research to find something that matches them perfectly, some use a random name generator, some just come prepackaged.
☠️ - Do you have any headmates with colored hair,piercings, or tattoos?
Hm, off the top of my head, maybe two or three- but there’s probably more that I can’t think of.
🔪 - How consistent are you with logging switches?
Ooh, we’re really bad at this. We try our best, but when you can’t remember things and not all of your members are even aware you have simply plural, it gets a little tough.
🧿 - Is there anyone who spends most of their time in front complaining?
Uhh, yep. We have a few emotion holders who do that- also some persecutors, littles, it varies. Nobody in specific.
🎃 - Is there anything specific you do to help introjects feel more comfortable?
Allowing them to state clear boundaries, get things that are comforting to them that are from source, or allowing them to branch out if they prefer not to identify as their source! Whatever they need, for the most part.
👻 - How did you discover your plurality/systemhood?
We frankly do not remember very well, but one day they just. Appeared. We passed them off as imaginary friends. We were not imaginary friends.
🩸 - Is there anyone who absolutely hates their source?
No one who absolutely despises it, but there are definitely a few who don’t like to be associated with their source.
🦇 - Are there any songs that you associate with systemhood/plurality or your system as a whole?
Not really!
🐈⬛- Is there anyone who identifies as otherkin/therian?
Yep! We have a few guys in there, love those guys. They embrace themselves and don’t give a shit about what others think! They’re really great and sweet.
🔮 - How does your system determine who handles certain tasks/responsibilities?
it sort of plays out naturally- or higher ups decide, well, something like that. I’m not certain if there’s like anything specifically but generally they show up just knowing? Or they just end up settling into the role.
🧟♂️ - Who is the most outwardly intimating? Are they viewed the same way within the system?
Outwardly intimidating… probably nicole because of just how confident and blunt they are? they’re less intimidating insys but, yeah, still not the easiest to talk to.
🕯- Do your system's littles use "Baby Talk"?
It depends on the little. For the most part, no. Especially during text- any quirks are mainly voice-related when internally speaking, and those are unintentional and not too obvious.
⛓️ - Funniest quote out of context
“bros magical girl energy confuses me” - some guy in our head
⬛ - Is there anyone who has a unique/ non-traditional role?
Plenty, plenty. But you know, alters are unique to your experiences. But I suppose compared to the typical archetypes and such, definitely, yes.
🪳 - How do you visualize your headmates? (Drawing them,picrew,etc)
Typically through picrews, for Introjects fanart. Some guys want to draw, but it’s not typical.

insert funny thing here about plurality because i remember i had this really funny idea for a post in my head but now its forever lost to the void that is my subconscious
HAPPY EASTER TO MY FAVOURITE SYSTEM <3333
(you’re the only system I know so automatically my favourite)
happy Easter (and 4/20)! and to everyone else who sees this as well who celebrates! i know our younger ones have been having a lot of fun, and i hope you’ll have a good day as well!
Hii I’ve recently discovered that we’re a system and was wondering what your favorite thing the person you like or your friend you mentioned has done for you!! I’m kind of scared to tell our friends but your blog gives us hope
hey! welcome to the community! one of the best things one of our friends have done to accommodate us is by doing their own research themselves! i am absolutely blessed to have them, haha. they have also made sure to respect our boundaries, including not interacting with particular alters such as littles due to our own hesitance, and other forms of assistance!
if you have supportive friends, it’s definitely great to tell them about it! we were apprehensive at first as well, but they ended up being one of our most supportive people. :) something i recommend is allowing them to ask questions and explaining the basics! and if they’ve already heard of systems before, especially from ‘cringe’ posters, make sure to re-educate them and point them to more informational places or sites to correct any misinformation.
of course, they won’t understand, at least at first, but the important thing is they are willing to learn and try and understand, even if they cannot at first.
hi guys!!!!! idk if this question is too personal (if so just delete this from your inbox) but you mentioned being in love?????? i wnated to know how that would work with all of you guys needing to agree and also what is this person (or persons) like?????
hey! i definitely agree having a crush on another person outside of the system is definitely difficult sometimes, especially due to opposing opinions. however, it's super important to note that not all alters will have to be in a romantic relationship with the person aforementioned! while it's quite complicated and things definitely have to be worked out with the other people or person, it is totally possible depending on their preferences. of course, other alters may not have the same affection towards this person or people as others may, and to that it gets complicated. depending on comforts, could be a polyamorous relationship, open relationship, or monogamous relationship- whatever is most comfortable for both groups overall. as for the person/people, they're the sweetest ever, lol! very supportive, accepting, open-minded, albeit a bit stubborn and competitive at times but we love them for that and honestly think its adorable! :D would genuinely fight whatever lord or god above is there for them and it's just asdiufhuihrh. rambly stupid stuff, i won't talk about it too much, but we appreciate them a ton!
thank you for the question! we rambled a little hard there, sorry if we overshared or anything a little, lol. hope that helps answer your question!
figuring out that the trauma holders weren’t lying to you when you discover physical evidence of the trauma occurring……… like bitch i thought you were saying that shit for shits and giggles?
generalized amnesia and emotional amnesia goes hard because oh yeah that extremely terrible thing happened and i don’t feel anything i felt while i was experiencing and oh this other thi- NERVOUS SYSTEM SHOWS UP
caretaker casually revealing they’re a bear is not something i put on my 2025 system bingo card
forming an introject of a character from a media source you hate is just telling yourself over and over again "THEYRE NOT THEIR SOURCE THEYRE NOT THEIR SOURCE THEYRE NOT THEIR SOU-"
