#wsys chatting

first of all, hi!

this is a long post, skip to end for tldr.

we're "the woodland system" — though we prefer to be called our individual names when possible. casual nicknames like "the woodlands" or "wsys" are also okay. we don't always sign off (like in dms) so its alright to not know, or to ask, who you're talking to, and/or use collective/non-specific terms then.

we use a mix of first person singular (i/me/my), first person plural (we/us/our), and ampersand (i&/we&) pronouns.

we interact from: @wsys-main. our term/flag coining sideblog is @wsys-coining. joint alternative system term packs sideblog is @puckpacks. callie's sideblog is @cals-mind (18+). internal worker sideblog is @systupid. river's blog/our semi-covert & semi-abandoned blog is @aftertheline.

*we do not think dni lists are all that effective, but prefer just to put some things out there that we do and don't like, so as to weed out potential unwanted interactions. that being said, we're cool if you're cool. follow your own dni if you prefer.

we're disabled (autism, narcolepsy +/ chronic fatigue) and mentally disordered. symptom severity varies between headmates and may be discussed in posts but not listed here.

we are/still function as a polyfragmented system, despite having greatly decreased our headcount. we're functional multiplicity based.

we avoid aggressive and frequent discourse conversations, but may not be 100% free of posting discourse, especially depending on what your definition of discourse is.

as a general note, we are open minded on everything done in good faith and safely. things many people may view as harmful, we may not. you might get a feel for our specific takes if you follow for a bit. feel free to dm if it matters to you tho.

followers/mutuals don't need to agree on everything; we'll block or ignore any specific content we don't want to see. BUT... we will likely not follow back if you have an aggressive anti stance as it is draining for us to see. this goes for stances such as anti-endo, anti-radinclus/goodfaith, anti-para, etc.

all paraphiles are very welcome here! love you guys. we ask you dni/dnf if pro (harmful) contact, however, we get that contact labels can be nuanced and hard to define. basically, dni/dnf if advocates for minor/animal consent and/or direct harm.

secondly, below is just list of shorthands we use for system terms and such, (they aren't all original but the ones that are, feel free to use them!) + a list of our common sign offs if it's ever helpful :)

—terms

• sys = system (wsys is simply "woodland system" shortened)

• /sys = member is a part of our system / whatever we just said is relating to being a system

• psys = partner system (our bodily partner, multiple of us& in our sys are dating members in their system)

• /psys = member is part of our partner system / whatever we just said is relating to our partner system

• us&, we&, etc. = plural pronouns that clarify we're talking about our system as a whole (not us and another separate person, etc)

• src, or /src = source / relating to an introject's source

• exomem, /exo or /exomem = exomemory / relating to an introject's memories from source, OR someone's life before being in our system

• driveby, /driveby or /db = someone came near front to say one or two things and then left again

• in background, /bg = someone isn't fully fronting, or even that close, but is close enough to say something

• /dbbg or /bgdb = someone came into background only to say something and then left again

—main sign offs (if not full name)

• river: -r, -riv, -🐶

• shiver: -sh, -shiv, -🦈

• elle/yaz: -e, -y, -👒

• callie: -c, -cal(s), -🎀

• liv(/olivia): -l, -liv, -💜

• jax: -j, -🚎

• jonathan: -jo(n), -♟️

• alex: -ax, -📜

• all of us/blurry/etc.: -🌲(🌳), -&

**others will either use their sign offs found in our simply plural, their whole name, and/or their emoji- don't worry if you don't know who they are, it's all good

tldr;

we're the woodland system ("the woodlands" or "wsys" casually) we do prefer individual names as able, but don't always sign off, so in that case you can ask or use something collective/non-specific.

we interact from @wsys-main. term/flag coining sideblog: @wsys-coining. joint ast pack sideblog: @puckpacks. callie's sideblog: @cals-mind (18+). internal worker sideblog: @systupid. semi-covert/-abandoned blog: @aftertheline.

we're disabled (autism, narcolepsy +/ chronic fatigue) & mentally disordered.

we avoid discourse, but are open minded and chill about frequent topics of discourse. we don't care so long as it's not literally/directly hurting someone. you can dm if a specific stance is important for you to know (or you're just curious).

we don't really believe dni's are that helpful but we do prefer to avoid frequent interactions or followers with strong anti- opinions, (anti-endo, anti-radinclus, anti-para, etc.), but followers/mutuals don't need to agree on everything. we'll block or ignore specific content we don't want to see on our feed.

all paraphiles welcome; love you guys. dni/dnf if pro harmful contact, but we understand contact labels can be nuanced/hard to define so we mean like advocates for minor/animal consent and/or direct harm.
