Expanse System Sideblog

Two, we’re a prime fucking example that self diagnosis can be right. We suspected for years and got involved in the system community and faced tons of backlash and people being terrible, just to finally get insurance and seek medical help for it and be told by our mental health team that we have DID. We were right. We always had been. Our roadblock was just the fucked up system.

Mental health professionals are fucking human and can be fucking biased. As someone who works in mental health, everyone in this line of work is either fantastic or literally the spawn of Satan and there’s no in between. Some people get into it for a manipulative power kick. Some people genuinely don’t care about doing their job and don’t want to be scrutinized by colleagues and supervisors and don’t care what that means for you, being ignored and unhelped and very potentially misdiagnosed and improperly medicated, which can be dangerous and highly traumatic.

Are you going to foot the bill of people going to get help? Are you going to network for good therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists? Are you going to comfort them after they have a bad session? Are you going to even hear them out?

No? Then shut the fuck up.

If you are a video game character in the universe of Wreck It Ralph, once your particular cabinet is plugged in you are born with an innate knowledge of a past you share with every other version of you, but eventually as you interact with other games after hours you just become more jaded and the events you play out every day become less and less meaningful as time goes on?

In the first movie before Felix gives Calhoun the context about what “going Turbo” means, he remarks on the fact that Hero’s Duty had just been plugged in recently. So at the point he meets Calhoun, he has effectively existed for DECADES and every experience he has had with other games and character has done pretty much nothing other than make him come to terms with the fact that his game just isn’t real. Calhoun takes her game so seriously not just because it’s her personality, but because newly plugged in characters just have an innate sense of their canon responsibilities that goes away with time.

Calhoun has real PTSD and trauma of her past that never happened and is not unique to her, and I suppose that as she continues to exist in the arcade she’ll begin to realize that the EVENT never happened but still have to exist with the PERMANENT PTSD that’s been programmed into her forever.

im gonna be 12 years old until further notice

I wish irls and people close to me could just ask whos fronting and actually be interested

I wish i could just share my experiences to people who ask

I wish i could just be open about my plurality in general

I wish people outside of just system spaces could just treat us as different beings and try to get to know each member

I want to be treated as 30 different friends, not 1 friend whos many.

Were our own people, i exist, we exist, i want to bring light to that.

This question is for introjects of any kind who share a system with other introjects if the same source.

- Vistara and Mara (both share Star Wars Legends as a source) sooo this one's a bit weird bc the og Vistara was from SWL, but the current Vistara is the result of multiple fusions and is definitely different from Vestara Khai from SWL. In source, Mara is basically Vestara's mother-in-law, but that is definitely not the kind of relationship they have now in-sys, especially bc Vistara is multi-fused and is.... a god now and is the most powerful being in our system. They are very close, but more akin to close friends/chosen family I'd say, but w the added layer of Mara revering and respecting Vistara as the god she is

- Link and Midna (both from LoZ Twilight Princess, friends in source, also Midna takes a protective role over Link. Protector/companion ig) they're relationship is pretty much the same in-sys. Midna is Link's protector and also they're pals

- Salem, Vetis, and Ashdin (OCs from the same story, Vetis is a demon that Salem sold their soul to who now resides in their body and protects them (very system-coded, ik) they have a very close friendly relationship. Ashdin is their friend who's got other wild shit going on) their relationship(s) are basically exactly the same. Vetis is Salem's protector/friend and Ashdin is also their friend

- Jex and Iriguine (also OCs (from DND this time) they're brother and sister and were quite close in childhood but we're separated for many years and reconnected as adults) also basically the same relationship

Also there's a strange little guy named HIM who showed up briefly in the campaign. I don't think Iriguine ever met him, but Jex did, and the extent of their relationship was HIM just being strange and Jex going "??? Weird bug???" and I think that's still their relationship in-sys (also HIM fucked Jex's dad bc he thought it'd be funny. It surprisingly didn't change much I don't think, but it's turned into a running joke)

🐠 who has the strangest fictional crush?

🦀 who is the BRITISH one

🐬 most likely to be turned into a frog by an evil witch :(

🦑 which pillow pet are you (current fronter)

🐳 who says y’all unironically

🐙 who’s the best at fronting (interpret this how you will)

🪼 who has the most obscure source? who has the most well known?

🐡 who’s the most insect adjacent. either in the little guy way or the EEEAAAAGHHHTKGJF FNN KILL IT way

🦀 well, we have several people who are like, part british? Like part of their source is or something? Idk, complicated to explain, but the MOST british, like overtly, is definitely Draven

🐬 I feel like Remus is probably the frog and the evil witch that turned him into a frog (also we have an alter who is partially sourced from an evil witch who did turn someone into a frog (also there is a chance we have an introject of said frog))

🦑 ngl they don't super fit, but ig I'll say, Lemon - frog, Draven - idk, maybe the purple zebra?, Sarah - dolphin (the only one we actually own loll)

🐳 probably a lot of us? Idk

🐙 uhh idk, I guess the host/co-hosts?

🪼 we have many obscure sources:

Vistara ((several obscure sources) Star Wars Legends, The Land of Stories, The Last Light)

Mara Jade (also Star Wars Legends)

Mishka (cosplayer/youtuber)

Ari (Not Even Bones (OC, so bonus niche points loll))

Dusk (undisclosed, but trust me, it's very niche)

Lala (Grimm's Hollow)

Draven (Of Herbs and Altars)

We also have many well known sources: Vocaloid, Danganronpa, Sanders Sides (I think counts as well known), Arcane, Zelda, Helluva Boss, probably others that might count, idk

🐡 probably Kiri, they're very little bug coded

Tw: small drug mention

prns.cc is cool but only rly works if you have a lower amount of members (were not polyplural and even then the pages mechanic arbitrarily places importance over other alters in our brain. we have 50~ alters. they all have equal importance)

lighthouse was cool but its shutting down

nothing else is really meant for plurality n is therefore difficult to work with (we tried a rentry masterpost, went nowhere)

idk is this a dumb thing to get upset about?
