Please remember to make CLEAR flash and eyestrain warnings in your posts.

If you use a graphic that is eyestrainy (like a dni banner) consider changing it to something less eyestrain heavy!

Color picked from my clown set, so they should match well together (:

Flexicutor

A term for an alter who is both a persecutor and a protector , but their role fluctuates between the two depending on things like the alters / bodies mood and what situation the system / alter is currently in.

Fluctuating Persecutor / Protector

+ alternative persecutor protector variant for those who do not like to use specific terms but still relate to the definition.

my take on a flag for this <3

high headcount isnt proof.

introjects arent proof.

recovery goals isnt proof.

aesthetics isnt proof.

the way they act isnt proof.

how "cringe" they are isnt proof.

having fun with a disability isnt proof.

knowing when you split isn’t proof.

fictives going dormant isn’t proof.

not having high amnesia barriers isn’t proof.

fictives being disconnected from source isn’t proof.

I'd like to add as well:

Drawing out your alters so *you* know who's there doesn't isn't proof (and no that doesn't make them OCs either)

Being open with having a CDD isn't proof (I know some like to educate others and that's okay)

Small systems/low headcount aren't proof

Being blurry all the time isn't proof (you don't have to know who's fronting when)

Not having a diagnosis isn't proof (those are expensive)

These are all things we've seen get fakeclaimed and it really makes one side eye.

- having quick or smooth switches isn't proof

- wanting functional multiplicity isn't proof

- using your own terms for alters (as in, @themortuarysys2 calls their headmates Graves or Tapes) isn't proof

- creating your own role names for how your alters perform their jobs isn't proof

- using terms like sysmates, headmates, alters, system, plural, multiple isn't proof

- frequently resetting / wiping pk, tupper, sp etc data isn't proof

- saying the words "system hopping" isn't proof

- experiencing system collapses, system resets or epochal divisions isn't proof

- having OEA trauma isn't proof

- having introjects from extremely new media isn't proof

- Not having possessive switches isn’t proof

- Your alters having “weird” mannerisms in front isn’t proof

- Your alters being from “cringe” sources isn’t proof

- Not seeking a diagnosis isn’t proof

- Seeking a diagnosis isn’t proof

- Using other terms that aren’t strictly medical to describe how you view switching etc isn’t proof (e.g. our switches feel like a VHS is taken out of the VCR (our brain) and swapped with another one, thus we call ourselves tapes)

- Using userboxes on your posts isn’t proof

- Having a TikTok rant account so your alters can speak as themselves online isn’t proof

- Using pluralkit isn’t proof

- Having a system name isn’t proof

- Your alters being overt isn’t proof

- Your alters being covert isn’t proof

The person being pushed at those footraces is there because they want to be. Most of the time its either because they are a former runner who misses it, or they're a severely disabled person who wants to share a hobby with someone they care about. It's damn near impossible to push someone 26 miles in a wheelchair when they don't want to be.

Additionally, it's actually pretty hard work and an accomplishment to be able to stay upright and get pushed in a wheelchair that far. Wheelchairs going any speed and distance are BONE SHAKING and the people getting pushed often have severe disabilities that make even something like holding your head up difficult. So they probably had to train too.

The FRAMING that the media does is ableist, its generally framed as inspiration porn and also denies the disabled person agency and there's a lot to be unpacked there, and I very much think you SHOULD be questioning motives behind everything... but please don't say the whole thing is a self serving act by the abled person when that's very much a team effort and the disabled person had to want very badly to be there.
