Acquiring Trinkets And Hobby Stuff: Hell Yeah

We’re gonna update the side logs list today!!

Whoops, Tumblr Lockout

Heyo. If you were following @quiltedsystem, I got locked out of my account. Google deleted the email that the Tumblr was associated with, so the main blog and all the system's individual headmate's sideblogs have been lost to the ether. We're trying to rebuild here.

We'll still be going by Quill collectively, but our new system name is the Galactic Quilt System. Still has the quilted feel and that was important to us.

We'll have a sideblog list up soon.

OP might look into nail rings for 🌺! Just a thought - I didn’t even know they were a thing until recently!

silly system culture is some of us wanting those really long pretty bejeweled fake nails and the rest of us who would fight anyone who tries to put them on /silly

(🌺 really wants some but I, 🍃 cannot have my nails long at all)

Make a poll to decide and the looser shall start the silly kingdom /pf

Hope you can decide soon and that doesn't become a big problem, good luck!

Us, watching the hbomb Oof video:

Someone in headspace: HOW DARE TOMMY TALLARICO DISRESPECT MY JOJO BEANS?!

And then when those 7 don’t work on their problems, 7 more appear. And so on. And so forth. XD

sorry systems are so funny. *turns you into 7 smaller people to fix your problems * (all 7 people refuse to work on their problems) 

Talking to one of our dogs while we’re having a bath triggered some memories of pre-system discovery things that make so much more sense now.

Let me explain.

Valor very much enjoys stealing my towel while I’m bathing. He’ll dig around in it to make himself a little nest and then nap in the towel while I bathe.

So today I’m getting ready for a bath and I say “Oh boy, Valor! It’s time for your Favorite Thing!” referring to stealing my towel. But I know this is not actually his Favorite Thing. It is probably not even in his Top 5 Favorite Things. But because it’s something he definitely enjoys, I call it his Favorite Thing.

But that’s not what “favorite” means. A favorite implies a single thing that is liked more than all other things. People have favorite colors and movies and books and meals. And this struck me today. Examining my use of the word, I realized that I have always treated “favorite” in this way - as a way to describe something I “really really like” not necessarily more than all others. I’ve always had “multiple favorites” in just about every area of life. And I’ve always just written it off as an inability to be decisive or a quirk. Other people, at their worst, have described it as me being weak-willed, wishy-washy, or conviction-less.

But it’s none of those things.

It’s the fact that I’m plural. Of COURSE we’ve had multiple favorite movies for as long as we can remember. “The Care Bears Movie” has always been Madison’s favorite movie. That didn’t make Howl’s Moving Castle any less Aina’s favorite movie. Nor did Leigh developing an obsession with Frozen 2 make Aina’s favorite movie and less her favorite movie. But before we knew we were plural, it seemed and felt like we had multiple favorite movies. Or multiple favorite songs. Etc.

Now I’ve got thirty years of using “favorite” inaccurately to undo in myself. 🤣

We unfollowed them after they started calling another system on TikTok “cringe.” They’ve just gotten too messy so we wont be rewarding them with our attention anymore.

I’m so tired of seeing Aspen’s little fan base harassing people. You can be anti endo and NOT HARASS PEOPLE:

It’s not something funny to do at all.

And the fucking paranoia jokes. It’s fucked up. I do not understand why people support Aspen.

I get they use “I’m schizophrenic” as an excuse to use those “jokes” but they’re wrong to do and I would think that someone who deals with hallucinations and delusions from schizophrenia would understand the damage those jokes do.

If you agree with Aspen or just think what they do is absolutely hilarious and let them do whatever they want or support them, please do not interact with me.

I get that not every supporter will be bad, but I don’t want anything dealing with Aspen here. I’ve seen a joke from them that’s caused me distress and it’s upsetting to see that no one seems to hold Aspen accountable and just lets them do whatever.

Sure, I might be bashed, but at the same time, I refuse to support or interact with someone or a fan base that actively supports behavior like this.

Are you supportive of endogenics it doesn't say anywhere and I can't tell if I need to ignore the blog or not (no offense I just don't fw endos)

Hi there, anon! We are a traumagenic system and we believe that plurality only develops through trauma. We do not police what kind of trauma is “enough” to cause plurality. We also don’t believe that all “endogenic” systems are faking (they may not have access to the memories of the trauma that they went through or they may be experiencing other forms of dissociation or mental health concerns), so we don’t go out of our way to attack anyone based on their system origin. I hope that makes sense.

We’re rapid switching and blurry so we aren’t sure who is who in the following. So everyone is just “me”

THE TALE OF MOVING HOUSE: PART BATHROOM

Way Past Me: I will gather all the bathroom items in a handful of bags so it will be easier to get that room functional again quickly.

Past Me: I need more bags than I thought. I’ll need to empty a few. Good thing the bathroom stuff is all together! I’m going to dump it all INTO the bathtub so that I can’t avoid putting stuff away in here when I want to bathe.

Slightly Past Me: CURSE YOU, PAST ME. I JUST WANT TO BATHE BUT I HAVE TO PUT ALL THE BATHROOM STUFF AWAY FIRST.

Current Me: (in the bath, having plowed through everything in about a half hour) …Okay, Past Me. You win. That was smart.
