i suppose this is a term coining post.
here are some polymind terms i’ve come up w, if there’s any questions lmk !
sexling: a mind based off sex and / or kink (it is neutral in nature but its job can determine whether its neg or positive)
kinling: a mind based off your kin (i wasn’t actually the first person to come up w this, i found other people using the same term)
spinling: a mind based off your special interest (autistic version of the fixling)
blankling: a “mind” that is somehow, no mind. i don’t think this type of mind would work if you have a central mind as i assume that mind would be the default, w a blankling its that there’s literally no one there to fill the body, there’s nothing stimulating enough to activate any part of the mind so you’re just in an ultimate neutral zone & just going though the motions. this happens mostly when i’m very drained at the end of the day but just stay up usually on my phone or watching something & there’s just. nada. a blankling would at most be able to have a job, type, and name. it is too blank to have any other defining characteristics. the name is just something you assign to refer to it. this includes not having empathy, emotions, not too many meaningful thoughts
disling: a mind centered around your disabilities or disorders. it may be just a version of you that has 1 of the disorders or disabilities you have as a whole, or it can be that disability or disorder as an entire being
illing: a mind that is centered around your chronic illnesses and works the same as a disling.
cover up: when a mind is too private, personal, or is only mainly activated around specific people but still wants to interact socially so you create a “persona” or a “cover up” to hind its true identity allowing it to still interact
blankslate: blankslate is technically a job, it’s to go w blankling. usually only a blankling will have the blankslate job, but you could technically create an OC that has no lore or personality to it or pick a random animal to have a visual of the mind & a name to give it and assign it blankslate. so it is possible for a blankslate to be something other than a blankling, it just needs to lack personality.
packmate: specially w your partner and related to this flag
cheerbear: happiness, joy, good stuffs ! inspired from cheer bear from care bears
tiny: regressed version of yourself. usually to regain childhood
harm reducer: reducing ed & sh & such alike
groundskeeper: the keeper of grief & dysphoria. w grief referring to yourself, like loss of culture, never being able to develope a skill further etc

academic keeper: school related (or job related). mind who is active during class or work related situations
doctor: keeping info on your disorders, disabilities, or chronic illness’ or feelings towards them
teacher: role model like figure that shares knowledge (usually related to spinlings). basically professional yapper
shutter: outward shut down, usually because of feeling unsafe, attacked, going into an episode, or feeling like you upset someone so you shut down and just sort of. try to go invisible
cloud: deals w dissociation (day dreaming, zoning out, derealization, depersonalization) etc
