Introduction
Overview
Hello, we are the Turtle System! This is our blog for talking about serious and non-serious system stuff, our interests, and current events. Here are some quick facts about us:
Our body uses he/him and identifies as a man. We are fine with they/them if it encompasses the whole system.
We are 19 years old and a university student in the USA.
Aside from DID, we are also autistic. (And have lots of other stuff going on...)
We are bodily AAPI and trilingual.
Our asks and DMs are open to friendly interactions and questions about being a system! If you're new to interacting with systems, don't worry about using the "wrong" terminology around us. Just make it clear that you're approaching with an open mind! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Interests
This is a broad generalization of the interests of various system members. (Many alters like specific types of these things.)
Science, history/anthropology, linguistics, art, and writing.
The Avengers (Marvel), Tolkien, Star Wars, and a handful of anime/manga.
Nintendo games, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and The Sims 4.
Stances
This blog will never be a safe space for discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, etc. We condemn ideologies such as Neo-Nazism, pro-US imperialism, Zionism, white supremacy, TERFs, etc.
Systems come from trauma.
Well-researched self-diagnosis is valid.
Generative AI is a plague upon this earth.
Who's Online? (WIP)
These are the handful of system members who like posting on our Tumblr. Sometimes, members that are not listed here will post, but it's usually a one-time thing.
