“Diversian” is a label that refers to median systems who are closer to the multiple side of the spectrum of plurality. Regardless of their experience, diversian systems are special and important to the plural community, and certainly belong in our spaces! So here’s to all the diversian systems out there!

🖤 Shoutout to systems who feel mostly separate from each other while still maintaining connections!

🦋 Shoutout to systems who are still trying to determine exactly how their system works and functions!

🤍 Shoutout to systems who are questioning where they fall on the spectrum of plurality, and are drawn to the diversian label!

💙 Shoutout to systems who have always known they are diversian!

🖤 Shoutout to systems whose separate members are all different sides, aspects, or faces of the same person!

🦋 Shoutout to systems who are all separate except the host who remains connected to all of their headmates at once!

🤍 Shoutout to systems whose connections to each other are constantly in flux!

💙 Shoutout to diversian systems who are monoconscious, polyconscious, or experience consciousness in some complex way!

🖤 Shoutout to systems who identify both as diversian and mediple!

🦋 Shoutout to disordered diversian systems who struggle with dissociation and/or symptoms of PTSD!

🤍 Shoutout to diversian systems who often feel left out of plural spaces due to a lack of representation!

💙 Shoutout to systems who love their diversian identity and embrace the way their system works!

Every system is unique, and plurality can look incredibly different for all sorts of systems. We hope that every diversian system reading this can find solace in the fact that you are cherished, valid, and beautiful just the way you are! Your presence in the plural community is welcome and immensely beneficial, and we are honored to be able to share this space with you!

We sincerely hope that you can find pride and happiness in your system and your identity as diversian. Your experience with plurality shouldn’t isolate or exclude you - you belong in the intricate, colorful tapestry that is the plural spectrum! Please do your best to take care of yourselves, and have a great day!

can medians have introjects/fictives? and can other “facets” (as i believe they’re called) be extremely different from the host?

They absolutely can! Median systems can function in basically any way non-median systems can, as far as we're aware. We've even heard of a polyfrag median system before! But, yes, to answer your question, you can 100% have any kind of introject while median.

For your other question: also yup! Median systems can be just as similar or different as other systems! We have a median subsystem, but everyone in it is very, very unique and distinct.

I hope I'm not overwhelming you with information or anything, but there's a term for those who feel they're closer to the multiple "side" of things on the spectrum of different median experiences. I'll link it down below:

I hope this helps! (Also, I got your other ask-- I'm about to answer that one, too! :D /pos)

Median Terms

Parasian: Medians who are closer to the singlet side of the spectrum.

Mesosian: Medians who are in or around the middle of the spectrum.

Diversian: Medians who are closer to the multiple side of the spectrum.

Orbital: A modifier to denote that a median system has a core.

Webbed: A modifier to denote that a median system does not have a core.

System Types

Masked System: A system that acts or is covert. It is difficult to distinguish the fronters of a masked system unless they explicitly tell you because of the “mask”. (The 🎭 emoji can be used to indicate that someone is a masked system.)

Maskless System: A system that acts or is overt. It is easier to distinguish fronters because there is no “mask” preventing fronters from acting as themselves.

Headmate Types

Janusmates: Headmates who embody duality in some way. Headmates who are “two halves that make a whole”. Alt: Janmates.

Coiners

Leliel coined “parasian”, “mesosian”, and “diversian”.

Valdemar coined “orbital”, “webbed”, and “janusmates”.

Evan coined “masked system” and “maskless system”.
