Welcome to the River (of denial), where we spend half our time living in the most unserious dorm room sit-com you'll ever see, and the other half violently unwell! Safe to refer to everyone as River, but honestly it's usually the host piloting this thing anyways. This place is a shitshow and I'm pretty sure someone's fallen down somewhere
Under the cut is headmates, important info, and DNI! Spoiler alert: it's not that deep! Have fun, don't drown, we aren't liable for any water damage caused. Current count: ~14
》 Fair warning, we're making this up as we go along! This isn't intended to be anything of importance, but seeing as this is a pretty big learning process for everyone, I made this blog as a sort of personal journal to use at our discretion. Might include some actually heavy things, but it's mostly bullshit and whatever we find to reblog
》 No, I'm not diagnosed with any CDD. No, I do not claim to be, nor do we use the term "system". Yes, we're still figuring things out
》 I see that there is discourse. We simply do not care. It's annoying. We're fucking tired. Don't even start with us. Yes we have trauma, no I will not be elaborating. Probably
Some of us might make individual, more detailed descriptions/intros, but here's a rundown! Whatever. Go my roommates /ref
《☣️》 Kit/Kitty (she/they/it/he/any); Host, running the blog.
《🗡》 Alex (he/him/they); Secondmost authority, usually some level of present.
《🪶》 Heather (she/her/they); Former mediator figure, usually absent.
《🌶》 Pepper/Pepsi (she/it/pop); Hyperactive raccoon, usually present.
《🌌》 Illuminus/Lumis (he/they/void/vae/hy/hyx); Watcher fictive/fictionkin, usually absent.
《🐾》 Bug (she/her); Semi-host and little, usually absent.
《🩻》 Simon (he/him); Iron Lung fictive?, unknown activity.
《💠》 Jester (they/he); generally an annoyance, unknown activity.
《 ? 》 (No name) (she/her); nervous, unknown activity.
》 Keep in mind, we struggle a lot. There's a lot of denial (see also: username) and uncertainty and weird ass feelings about this. Host has a tendency to get in her head, so Kit's made a tag to avoid any trigger warnings: 《.biohazard warning》
DNI: Ha, you thought. Honestly, that shit doesn't really work anyways, and half the time it's easier to just block people. No justification needed, it's not always personal, but follow your own DNI I guess

It is okay to be scared. It is okay to feel terrified. Being plural isn’t always easy, it takes time to get used to it. Don’t rush your experience and journey with it. You’re valid in how you feel about it, just don’t do anything to let that hurt you.
sometimes being plural is realizing you're plural (headmate count: 3) then realizing the random voices in your head are also headmates (headmate count: 6) then realizing youve always been plural and those weirdly distinct personalities of yours that you gave names and doodled group pictures of (in your expansive and fantastical headspace no less) four years ago were also headmates and theyre back (headmate count: 9) and then you realize all characters ever are in a city in headspace (same place you go to have imaginary conversations with people you know to help you make decisions) and that when those characters leave the city *they become headmates* (headmate count: at least 12 and possibly 15 or maybe functionally infinite how do i even categorize this)
Shoutout!! to plurals who are too big to all have their own blogs / side accounts
Shoutout!! to plurals who are too big to have a place for their members express their individuality irl (individual notebooks / styles / accessories / whatever)
Shoutout!! to plurals who are too big to have a colour associated with each alter
Shoutout!! to plurals who are too big to keep track of / have everyones sonas
Shoutout!! to plurals who are too big for everyone to know everyone elses names
Shoutout!! to plurals who are too big for everyone to even know / know about everyone else
& Shoutout!!! to plurals who don't / can't know who's fronting at any given time
<3
Your plurality doesn't have to be pretty or organized
And if you want it to be, you can have it, no matter how you need / want to go about it, or how it may differ from headmate to headmate!!

Color coding for system headmates is nice and all but there just arent enough colors, you cant just use 4 different shades of purple omfg thats not helpful 💀💀😭
hi changeling. i also have the word changeling in my blog url and generally identify with the folklore of it but i wasn't exactly certain why beyond the general vibes. i am also questioning systemhood rn.
and then i encountered your blog in the wild via the post about alters you might not know are there, saw your blog url and got mentally carpetbombed by a memory of 6 year old "me" thinking i wasn't "the real me" and i was sent to pretend to be the Real Me so that the Real Me could hide from... something...
so uh. thanks for that unintentional but still very helpful bit of clarity. lol
i did the same exact thing that’s crazy… except i thought id killed the Real Me i felt really bad about it
Sometimes my brain does what I call a split second mental “refresh” which leads to me abruptly getting disoriented and going “ah! I just had a refresh.” It is unclear what to make of this because I made the term up

to carry on from my last post about how the psych industry is incredibly biased and imperfect. we HAVE to stop pretending the current understanding of the human brain is the ABSOLUTE FINAL TRUTH with NO WIGGLE ROOM and NO POTENTIAL FOR CHANGES IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF ANY PART OF HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY.
you know how up until only 40 years ago, people thought autism was a male exclusive phenomenon? how common psychology facts are constantly being restudied and debunked every year? that will KEEP HAPPENING! AND THAT'S OKAY! PSYCHOLOGY IS AN EVERCHANGING FIELD! all you have to do is use the current information and frameworks available as a STEPPING STONE. the current understanding of psych is incredibly useful! but it's NOT THE CONCRETE UNCHANGING TRUTH OF THE UNIVERSE'S MECHANISMS.
with all that out of the way. speaking as someone in a system with substantial trauma. can I please ask that people spend less time being unkind to systems without substantial trauma? thank you kindly!
