System Role Coining - Blog Posts

okay so since uhh. my request for someone to make a flag got declined and i kinda for the most part chilled out, i decided to make my own flag.

if anyone wants to redesign it pleaaaase go ahead. i had no ideas for the flag aside from the persecutor flag by epikulupu. the inside is also inverted from said flag, to either symbolize the specific part that is different, or the rest of the system that is different — you decide.

who won?! who's next?! you decide! (reference)

but yeah um. say hello to my shittily made flag.

— ring-a-ling ding! new system role incoming!

(anyone is free to make a flag for this, as well as post it on pluralpedia!)

a new order just arrived : fadhbpart !

so, like. ok. i, nec, have a fragment in my (ringed) subsystem that is. not my favorite to say the least. shi is a type of part that i don't really like or vibe with personally, but i had to make a role for lust because absolutely no other terms can possibly fit. and now that i've redone our profile, i figured that i'd post this for the public to see.

heads up, this term includes rad//queer and dark//ship mentions. we aren't rad//queer and never will be! and please for the love of everything holy do not send hatemail because that is a guaranteed block. abide by your own dni's please.

— fadhbpart :

a persecutor who acts in "problematic" ways according to the rest of the [system], or engages in such behavior as a way to vent for the [system], rid oneself or the [system] of urges, or for other related reasons. a fadhbpart does not act in accordance to the rest or majority of the [system]'s views.

— ( fadhb, pronounced "fibe," roughly translates to "problem" in irish gaelic. )

( terms in brackets are obviously able to be changed for whatever a plural calls oneself. )

examples of a fadhbpart can include :

a headmate who is rad//queer or uses related terms to describe oneself, in a system that is majority anti rad//queer

a headmate who uses or ships dark//ships for whatever reason, whilst in a system that is majority antiship or anti dark//ship

a headmate who has or holds an addiction (and acts on said addiction) that the others do not have.

.. and more. this is for whatever you deem to be not in accordance with the rest of your headmates.

this is coined by a trauma-endo system, but it is for all systems and plurals alike to use. i don't gatekeep my terms! but please don't interact with this post if you are included in my dni.

[ID: two identical square flags, with five stripes each. the first and fifth stripe are much wider than the middle three. the colors are, in order from top to bottom, navy blue, cerulean, white, light blue, and gray-blue. the only difference between the two flags is that the first one has an overlay on it, which is a black silhouette of two hands outstretched, holding a simplified symbol of two larger people with a smaller person between them. end ID]

system role : parental alter

a parental alter is an alter who takes on a parental role within the system. they may be older than most of the other alters, and may see the rest of the system as their own children. they care for the younger alters typically, giving advice and handling things that might scare them. they often split due to parental neglect in a child's life, giving that child a chance to have a parent who is there for them.

system role : devotee

a devotee is an alter who is particularly dedicated to the care and wellbeing of, typically, one other person. that person is often another alter in one's own system or an alter in another system. a devotee may see themselves as being made for this person, or living to care for or serve them, whether that emotional attachment is romantic, platonic, familial, or otherwise. a devotee may have other relationships, but they may also be an alter who struggles to maintain relationships with other people, sometimes only fronting if it allows them to interact with the object of their devotion.
