It's been... almost a year since we created this sideblog. And I just realized we don't really have an intro for this blog, so I decided to create one.
We use the name Watcher collectively, and they/them pronouns. Bodily we're 22.
This blog was created with the sole purpose of archiving plural comics, posts on medical and non-medical plurality, plural resources, posts on syscourse, and to see how syscourse evolves and developes over time.
Who are we?
We're a mixed-origin plural system, originally traumagenic but we've gained new members other ways, and because we have traumagenic, endogenic, and willogenic members we've decided to keep origins this way. We suspect we have an undiagnosed dissociative disorder, most likely OSDD. Because of this, we sometimes call ourselves an OSDD system.
We use this blog to reblog general system, plural, comics, or syscourse posts. We will sometimes debate in the syscourse tag, especially anti endos, or sometimes respond to drama.
Syscourse stance
We're pro endo, anti harassment, and pro kindness. Nowadays we lean more neutral, but we support the idea that endogenic systems are systems, plural, and just sharing their experiences.
This blog was created to separate plural stuff from our main account, @watcherwingedcat. Especially when it comes to syscourse. We're not professionals in any way on systems, but we've been researching both DID and dissociative disorders in general since we were thirteen. We've read lots of studies, papers, research, and conclusions from professionals, and we're yet to find a specialist in dissociative disorders, mental health professional, psychiatrist or psychologist who says that non-dissociative systems aren't real.
Our system name is The Void council, we don't really identify with any origin label tough, as we think it only creates division amongst the community. In total, there's twelve of us, in order of formation:
Charlie, or Moss, the host. Bodily 22 years old. He/they/it pronouns. Dog therian (greyhound), jackrabbit therian, barn owl therian, watcherkin, winged catkin, moonhearted and phantomhearted. Child of the moon and lab experiment archetype. Aroace, genderfaun and nonbinary.
Orion, protector. A couple of thousand years old. It/he pronouns. Watcherkin and raptorkin. Aroace and agender. He won't post as regularly as I do, and we don't have a system to sign off our posts, so sometimes I'll be posting and sometimes he will post.
Theo, little. Around 7 or 9 years old. He doesn't really post here, as he doesn't like social media. He/him pronouns, a fox hybrid/kenomimi.
Clementine, positivity holder. 24 years old. She/her pronouns. Human and questioning horsehearted.
Leo, a Leonardo Hamato fictive from ROTTMNT, persecutor. 16 years old. He/it pronouns.
Nero, protector, dissociation holder and co-host. Shapeshifter, took a long while to form, as he was stuck trying to convey some sort of identity. Now he's pretty chill, handles stressful situations and dissociation. We don't really know their role, he's just there to block memories and emotions when needed. Voidkin, ageless. They/them pronouns.
Lana, social protector. She likes cheeseburgers, we think she's around 22-23 years old. Human, she/her pronouns.
Angel, an Angel Dust fictive, emotional protector. He's around 35 years old. Pretty chill, uses he/she pronouns but generally doesn't care a lot about gender.
Kinger, a Kinger fictive. Acts a lot like a dad. He's an old man, don't know exactly his age but maybe even older than Orion, he/him pronouns. Doesn't front often.
Vance, a Vox fictive. We don't know exactly his age (around his thirties), and he's pretty source separate. An anxious mess most of the time, age regresses pretty easily. He/him but doesn't care too much about gender.
Nico, a nonhuman headmate. He's a black fox, probably an adolescent or a child (acts 18 or younger). He/him pronouns. Doesn't talk much when fronting, even less not fronting.
Caine, a Caine fictive from TADC. He looks a lot like his source, and he's source-conected with Kinger, both from the same canon. He/him pronouns.
We're neurodivergent, with autism and ADHD, both diagnosed. Because of this, sometimes we might read the tone of a post wrong, and we may reply with tone tags.
We don't really have a DNI (as they don't work), just don't be an asshole. We're pretty neutral on everything surrounding drama, but we have a general stance on being nice toward others and don't judge other's lives or business in general.
When it comes to syscourse, we're endo friendly (pro endo, leaning neutral because we understand both sides) as we thought we were endogenic at first but with time we discovered we had a traumagenic origin and we're now mixed origins. Generally, we think the drama and in-fighting is pointless and in general rude.

does anyone know why the fuck there's bots again in the syscourse tags? it's getting annoying. it's the same person than last time? why does this even happen?
If you want drama, go to #mitsukicourse
If you want syscourse, get a piece of paper and write "endos bad" and then get another piece of paper and write "endos good", then put those two pieces of paper in a drawer, then open and close that drawer repeatedly, and you'll get approximately the same experience.
If you want the bots to go away, pray to whatever divine beings you believe in that I get eaten by a bear, because Tumblr can't hear you scream.
I don't know why so many people are in this day and age supporting endos . They use system terms and say they have a dissociative disorder when first of all you need trauma for that. I wish people would stop faking serious mental illness. It is harmful and abelist.
It's a trauma disorder. Not something you can form to be quirky. Stop claiming to be systems and stop using system terms. Find your own terms and stop saying your an endo system.
Anti Endos shouldn't have to have this same conversation over and over again. If people would just accept the fact you can't be a system without trauma there wouldn't be so much discourse.
Endos have no research to prove that you can form a system without trauma. If they do it's always only one site, and it's based off a different culture. Stop Faking Disorders.
Quick note, fakeclaiming and the validity of endogenic systems really, really doesn't need to be in the Actually DID tag. It's the tag for discussing personal experiences with DID, not how horrible and fake you think a different group of people is. Please keep it out. (In reference to the post you made after this one. We were going to respond to that, but this one made more sense.)
The majority of "system terms" were created by a mix of plural and plural-adjacent communities. Traumagenic, endogenic, and others. (And some have tried to find different terms - the argument against them changed from "you're appropriating language" to "you're appropriating experiences")
That's also not how "system" works. A system is used in reference to systems of personality and identity systems, which are used for CDDs, personality, identity, multiplicity, self-multiplicity, Internal Family Systems, and even Freud's theory of Ego and ID. It's not something used exclusively for those with CDDs - the Theory of Structural Dissociation explains this when it defines system as "an assembly of related elements" and that "the personality as a system can be understood as being comprised of various psychobiological states or subsystems that function in a cohesive manner" (as in CDDs are a disruption of standard systems of function, not that system is exclusive to CDDs). It's also the name for an entire branch of psychology.
Also, stop watering down ableism. "This group is inherently ableist because they share part of a single experience with a disorder" isn't part of its definition.
Complex dissociative disorders are post-traumatic disorders, yes. Systems themselves, however, aren't synonymous with CDD, as we've already shown. Somebody saying they're a system isn't claiming to have a CDD - endogenic systems are not claiming they have a CDD without trauma. Just that their multiplicity didn't come from trauma. Because CDDs have many, many, many more symptoms than multiplicity. This is how mental disorders work. Pathalogical versions of normal non-pathalogical experiences.
Why do you believe that just because somebody is part of another culture, it's suddenly impossible for them to call themself an endogenic system, or experience non-traumagenic multiplicity? You're claiming that people in whatever you label a "different culture" (which can be a very wide variety of things) can't make their own choices about the language they use, simply because of who they are. That's really just racism.

"endos are so icky and gross and even if they're not faking they probably just have hidden trauma or BPD!!"
shut up. ACTUALLY shut the fuck up.
you use our inclusive resources and call it reclaiming. you dehumanize the people. the tens to hundreds to thousands of people in our heads. because you don't think we exist. you attack us. yell at us. throw us onto the ground. put the bad ones at the front of the line and but the good ones in the back.
you desensitize and dehumanize and call us 'an invasive species'.
AN INVASIVE SPECIES.
way to go!! good job!! good job bullying people, attacking others and kicking back at your own community. making people turn themselves inside out. to try and find trauma they weren't ready for to feel validated. try to traumatize themselves so at least some of their alters will have an excuse.
how disgusting of a person do you have to be?
to think this way?
to chew every endo up? and spit them out like gum?
why do you act this way, i wonder? then you pretend you need safe spaces away from the minority. pretend that its a necessity? when it really isn't?
you all disgust me.

Hey followers, remember Simply Plural is shutting down its servers July 1.
Remember that any avatar posted on the SP servers are going to disappear, yes, even if they’re on another website.
We personally noticed this when we were moving our system to Constellations. Remember to back up your images onto something such as Postimages, Scratchupload, Filegarden or even Tumblr drafts for safe keeping if you don’t have space on your device. — 🔔
weve been using pluralspace for about a month now and really like it! obviously its not a perfect replacement for simply plural and its still in beta but heres some things that it has that we like:
the roles you add to profiles automatically become folders you can select in the members page
display name and internal names are separate for better alphabetical organization
fully custom recoloring for the app with a hex-code color wheel so youre not just limited to black, grey and white
the relationship feature creating a map of all of your members with color coded lines connecting all of them
the journal being intuitive (we like it a lot personally because we gave our best friend access to it and xe puts random gifs and posts there sometimes)
gifs work for profile pictures and banners and can be turned off in the accessibility settings
but, not every app is perfect ^^' heres some things we would like added or changed:
loading times are awful for more then 50 members. they claim that theyve tested it on 13k+ member systems but i find that a bit hard to believe when our 78 (not headcount we just didnt port) are taking a good 20 seconds to load sometimes. may be our internet though
the friending system is super clunky and confusing. the wording of "this person was added to your system" feels weird. multiple of my friends were confused on how to actually add someone because the menu for adding someone and the menu for finding your friend code are in 2 completely different spots. even my non-system friends who wanted to add me were confused
make the select feature be able to put members into folders
not me but an issue some of my friends were having was if there are too many pronouns in the pronouns box that the profile wouldnt save. could be fixed by now though
the ability to delete members/the system profile is way too easy and could be impulsively clicked. adding some sort of verification or password system would be useful
smaller/pettier things:
give an option for profile pictures to be squares instead of circles (we liked the look better on sp)
give an option to turn off banners entirely
the description for system profiles doesnt account for line breaks unless you open if fully, as well as image embeds dont work
each front type change giving a notification is useless for my friends who have busy fronts or update a lot
make links hyperlink automatically instead of having to []()
overall we actually enjoy this app more then simply plural, coming from someone who used it for a year :) its a lot more user focused then sp was (which felt like a gloried spreadsheet at times) and we hope the devs never feel discouraged
