"syskids are actual kids" "actually syskids are more similar to whatever age the body is" what about. here me out. we let each individual syskid figure out what works best for them and how they'd like others to treat them.
give syskids autonomy! allow us to work out what we're comfortable with, what we're not comfortable with, and what we desire! allow us to have discussions about all this so what's best for each individual is made clear! every single one of us is different, and has different wants and needs.
it feels like discussions on syskids forget that we're actually. headmates, and that we're entitled to make choices and have discussions with people about what's best for us, like every other headmate. stop treating us like we need to have what works best for us decided by anyone but a syskid. it's weird.
(Image description in alt text.) This is a comic that I found in a decades old issue of a magazine about multiples and DID systems, Many Voices: Words of Hope for People Recovering from Trauma and Dissociation, Vol XI, No.4, August 1999, ISSN 1042-2277. Illustrations and comics in this magazine are usually credited only by an artist's signature, which may be unclear or absent. This one doesn't have an artist credit, so Noah might be the signature, a name that doesn't appear elsewhere in the issue.
huuuuge fan of little phrases you can add to the end of your sentences just for fun. "if you even care" and "btw" and "I fear" have done sooo much for my vocabulary. if you even care

Create a giant cheeseburger in your headspace and eat it
Most singlets do not obsess over whether or not they are plural. If you think you have a mental disability, you probably do. If you call yourself a system and it turns out to be wrong, that is ok. It is ok to try out different labels in your journey of discovering yourself. That goes for any mental disorder.
Most neurotypical people do not obsess over symptom lists and try to find exactly why they could or could not have a disorder. If you hear voices in your head, it could be plurality, schizophrenia, or other things, but it is not a neurotypical trait. If you have dissociation, amnesia, or any of the other traits of did that led you to believe you are a system, then you probably are
Systems are so cool and if we could have been a created system I would have chose it!!! Sending all the loves to all created systems ever!!! You're just as valid and amazing as any others!!!!!!
I love that there are non-traumagenic systems, like people who decided to introject their favorite characters or tulpamancers who created their own headmates.
There are systems out there who exist purely for the joy of being a system, how cool is that??
Traumagenic and endogenic headmates aren't enemies by the way. Sometimes they play Minecraft together. Sometimes they hold hands. Sometimes they kiss. Sometimes they cover work shifts or school for each other. Sometimes even within the same system. This goes for disordered and nondisordered systems too btw.
I love being plural !! I love knowing I'm never alone !! I love having banter with other alters !! I love getting advice from other alters in difficult situations !! I love being plural !! ā”
Update: someone put a whole spoon of hot chocolate powder in our mouth š š
Plural culture is not realising you're reading a book out loud until 10 pages in and when you try to stop getting yelled at because you were putting your headmates to sleep
