#headspace mapping

Why is there so much fucking forest

Due to being a Creepypasta fan when we were younger, this mansion has been here for a while; even before the system formed. Now, it's just taken on a new life as our main headspace.

⊹₊⟡⋆ | Since we’ve discovered that allowing residents to post has relived some head tension and generally caused the afformentioned posting residents to feel happier and a bit relieved, we've decided to post about our headspace.

⊹₊⟡⋆ | If you’re questioning what the intentions behind this masterlist are, it's to essentially map out our headspace/s to better understand our inner world and, by connection, our systems and headmates, which will in-turn allow for better communication!

Well not technically the FIRST ever headspace, this is one of the more recently discovered ones that we actually discovered because we accidentally drew it on the box of Crayola markers that our physics teacher has (she didn’t care because it was an art school + she’s one of the only teachers that actually uses our preferred name alongside our math teacher).

we have a rather large headspace, and we'd like to be able to figure out the locations of key places (and maybe what they sorta look like) in relation to each other but nothing seems to work. thanks for reading!

hey there, our own system has been working for some time now to map out our own headspace. we have a part who has taken on the cartographer/chronicler role. i asked them to share a bit about their process, and this is what they had to say:

“Okay first up I made a list of all the places I know about. Not even necessarily places I’ve been just every place I know is there. And I talked to lots of others to ask them about places they know about. And some others can talk to the ones I can’t so we worked together to come up with a big ol list.

“Next up I started connecting the places. Like I know Margo’s garden is on the island. And I know the treehouse is on the island. But Toby’s woods is not on the island. And the (redacted) is close to Toby’s woods. And the outer space where (redacted) and (redacted) live is nearby there too. But the big ocean is still by the island.

“So once I know that a couple places are connected, I can draw them together. And I just keep drawing and drawing until it looks right. But sometimes I get it wrong. But when it’s wrong one of the others could tell me or something. And I’m not done with it I’m still working on it. Because it’s hard and sometimes I can’t reach a place and sometimes a place changes. And sometimes I gotta crumple up the map and start over because I was wrong. But I’m doing my best.”

us main fronters don’t dig too deep into our headspace for the safety and well-being of the whole system, so i don’t have much i can add here. i guess just start small with what you know, interview your headmates, and maybe try to collaborate. also don’t worry too much if your map turns out to be inaccurate, or if you have to constantly change and adjust things.

it’s the physical headspace distance, but the amnesiac barriers are also included in a way. some of the areas off of the middle are type 2 (separated) subsystems, so their barriers are much higher

we kinda imagine our consciousness of the real world being in the middle of the main area (with the flowers), so those who are in that area have a pretty good grasp of reality even while in the headspace the farther out you get, generally the farther you get from front/the more dissociated you get. there’s some more stuff we’re happy to explain more if you’d like :]

(disclaimer: us who wrote this post can’t actually go into the headspace as hosts, so this is just our general understanding)
