Hi misceblr, pluralblr, and alterhumanblr (+ others)! My name is Mint! I'm a fingender & moonbright bi-lesbian who is also an intersex miscecanis omega <3 — additionally, I'm disabled, fat, & a facet! I use she/they pronouns and am 18 (both bodily and in-sys).

DMs and Asks completely open!

I may use or ask for tone tags.

Please don't ask for my main blog. If you tease it out, please keep it to yourself!

Occasional NSFW posting, however please do not flirt or otherwise interact with me romantically or sexually without prior consent.

I block freely — I will occasionally argue with people, but only when I presume they are acting in good faith and a discussion is worthwhile. All other situations I will simply just block.

I am staunchly pro-endo, anti-rq, against abbreviating Alpha/Beta/Omega to its initials, and have no opinions/do not care about misce terminology discourse/discussions as it confuses and stresses me out (I use misceblr to avoid the whole debacle, but I do specify I am miscecanis). I will add other opinions here if they become relevant.

I have no DNI, but will block people who don't follow their own, whose DNI I "break," and whose stances I disagree with if I feel it's necessary.

+ additional, less important information & clarifications/expansions in the comments :)

Tags I (try to) use: #plurality #misceblr #flags & terms #alterhumanity #nsfw #described #queerness #disability (+ more when I remember them/as they come up). I tag trigger warnings as "TW: [insert trigger here]". I put two en dashes in front of tags when tagging original posts that I don't want in the tag.

We used to ID as oneplural and singlet-adjacent before syscovery, so it's a bit personal, but largely it just sucks how much non-system plurals and plural singlets are subtly and accidentally excluded from the community.

I am a chameleon.

Not in an alterhuman way (though I am that to, as a shapeshifter), but in the way that there is no consistency to me. To who I am. To what I am.

The only time I feel concrete in my identity is when blended when another. All other times? I don't feel like much of a person at all.

When I realized I was plural, I thought it would make a big difference in my lack of identity. "Obviously," I thought, "the reason I feel like this is because I am more-than-one, and once I get comfortable with that realization I will be whole, too."

And, obviously, that didn't really work out. Even as of very recently, when our systemhood presented in full-force, it hasn't gone away. If anything, it's been stronger. We have non-possessive switches — I become other people and in turn they become me. To some extent, due to those blended and "in-between" moments, I know how it feels to be a "full person" now in a way I haven't before.

So now what? I still lack identity. I still don't understand who I am at a very fundamental level. My entire life, I have adapted to my surroundings to keep myself safe and now I don't know who I am under all those layers of paint.

But maybe those layers of paint are me. Maybe there's identity in a lack of sense of self. Maybe the hole where personhood should be is whole in itself.

Maybe a chameleon is still a chameleon, despite what it has done to survive and maybe it's inconsistency is apart of who it is.
