2, 8, 20 for the ask game :3
2 - Does the host have any other role
Well, we have multiple hosts, so if our permafronters count, then I’m the core/body (more used to core bc we’ve been using it for years), Leo is just a permafronter but sometimes he’s a caretaker when little are front, Reed is a permafronter and considers 🌾self a syskid [🐑’s 17 but considers 🪻self a kid], Kessler, whose role is a mystery even to us [we don’t even know if he’s a permafronter or not] and our current non-permafronter hosts [our hosts switch a lot] would be Victory, who’s a prosecutor, a (possible) anger holder, and a religious headmate, and Nathan, who’s an anxiety holder, and HABIT and RABBIT who aren’t comfy with me sharing their roles, but they have other roles.
8 - Most common role in system
Ough… not sure… we have a high headcount so it’s hard to tell but I think we have a large amount of anger and anxiety holders and quite a few syskids/littles.
20 - Do you have a system name and how did you decide on it
We have a system name! In short, it’s [currently] The Song, The Sea, and The Stars, or just Song Sea Stars if you wanna go even shorter, but our full name is kind of a scene? It’s The Old Song Still Echoes Through These Looping Halls. The Ocean Below Us is Silent and Dark. The Stars Outside Mock Us With Their Laughter.
The name came cause our old one was associated with bad memories (as it tends to be when we switch names) and it has some surface level meaning and some deeper meaning. Surface level, we like music, we like the ocean, we like space. I’m gonna dissect our full sys name and the references/meaning below
The Old Song - Bendy and The Ink Machine reference because it’s been a spinterest for years
Still Echoes - Echoey spaces are so yumby for us, also the barest hint of a reference to Dust and Echoes because Halo spin
Through these Looping Halls - Discreet reference to We Went Back, a kinda shitty horror game we’ve been autisming over since we found out about it (I’d ramble if anyone wanted to listen)
The Ocean Below Us - Thalassophobia/General ocean enjoying and also the thought of those glass bridges but above the ocean, we love the thought but we could never-
Is Silent and Dark - Nyctophobia mention also the idea of a calm sea still being too pitch dark to see into it. Also vaguely thinking about ink ocean because opaque, and the eeriness of an ocean or large body of water being still, the calm before the storm, the creeping dread that something is coming from underneath
The Stars Outside - Omfg I love space so much like space is so cool and it’s just ough /pos, also vague reference to We Went Back because it’s set inside a spaceship-esque thing and there are windows
Mock us With Their Laughter - I kinda just thought it sounded cool and I needed something to finish off with-
ough thinking about making a gender system but idk if I have motivation…
Ceragender
A gender related to the extinct genus of long, sharp shelled cephalopods, Endoceras. This gender can be related to the genus in and of itself, loving Endoceras, being an Endoceras, or the gender is just akin to an Endoceras.

[PT: Good news (three exclamation points) /END PT]
I'm probably gonna be posting more gender today !!!
[PT: Bad news (three exclamation points) /END PT]
It's because I'm incredibly unstable and got informed of something very distressing and I'm either experiencing a distinct depressive episode or having a narc crash !!!
I've seen a few new, very aggressive anti-nondisordered plurality blogs pop up over the last week. Going out of their way to post anti crap in inclusive plural spaces. So I just want to remind everyone that:
No one knows you better than you.
No one knows what you're going through/experiencing better than you do.
There is no 'definitive 1000% way' to 'prove' someone is a system or not. It is a largely internal and subject experience. And that's absolutely ok.
You do not need other people's permission to exist.
You do not need to prove yourself/selves to others.
Your system's origins no matter what they are do not make you more or less of a systems.
You DO NOT have to relive or reveal any trauma/s you have suffered to prove your validity. And anyone who asks you to do so does not have your well-being in mind.
You aren't harming anyone by talking about your lived experience and seeking community with others that understand.
You are a human being who is deserving of respect and kindness.
Respect and kindness of someone else's lived experience SHOULD NOT be contingent on if they can scrounge up articles or peer reviewed studies on if an extremely personal experience is valid or not.
Over medicalization and pathologation of plurality as a whole is rooted in racism and colonialization.
Do not let others act as if they get to dictate who you are and what you experience. The only reliable witness/s to the inner workings of your own mind are those who reside in it. No one else can tell you how you think or what your internal experiences are.
(And its bonkers that some people try)
To any and everything system and plural out there regardless of origin:
You are amazing.
You are valid.
The world is a better place for having you in it.

AdderTongueSymbous [Adder('s) - Tongue - Symbous]

[ ID: SVD-Mogai's FUCK MY JOB, I QUIT Coining Event /end ID]
So we're quitting our job on May 2nd, which is also our birthday. We wanted to do something to celebrate and always wanted to do a community coining event, so we thought doing a countdown to The Big Quit would be a fun thing to do. We will be participating ourself as well!
You can create terms of any sort unless the prompt specifies (only one does). However please mind our boundaries post and try not to coin terms that would fall under it - you can coin terms on the "we won't coin" list though as that is just stuff we are personally not capable of.
You can coin the full list, or only one - do what inspires you.
Please tag me in your entries so that I can reblog them!
This is generally meant to be a coining event, but if you wish to do something other than coining that also fits into the theme feel free.
April 23rd: A term related to something that brings you joy AND/OR an interest of yours.
April 24th: A term related to your favorite type of weather OR a weather phenomenon you find interesting.
April 25th: A miscellaneous identity term - a term that does not fit into a common "umbrella" of terms (check @miscellaneous-id for concepts that fit into this).
April 26th: A term related to wherever or whatever you consider "home".
April 27th: A term related to a song, album, or musical artist that means something personal to you.
April 28th: A term related to a memory that brings you an emotion of any sort, positive or negative.
April 29th: A liminive gender using either a photo you took OR a photo you feel personally connected to. (Example 1, Example 2)
April 30th: A term related to your culture or heritage. Bonus prompt: a term in a non-English language (Optional).
May 1st: A term related to a fashion style you wear OR would like to wear.
May 2nd: A term related to celebration, either generalized or a 'specific' type of celebration.
May 3rd: A term related to something you find important, either personally or generally.

[Image ID: A six stripe flag. The colors are reddish pink, black, very dark blue, dark blue, dusty red, and reddish pink.]
Moucidtter [Mou(th) - (A)cid - (Bi)tter]
A gender related to, in any way, consuming something and feeling like it's literally or metaphorically eating through your throat/organs [can be related to spice, acidity, or anything else] [This gender is not inherently intended to be related to eating disorders or disordered eating, and I am not trying to encourage eating disorders with this term, but I don't have a problem with people using it in these contexts as long as they are not encouraging harmful behavior.]
Colours on the top and bottom are intended to mimic the colour of the inside of a mouth, and the blues and blacks are meant to represent pain and things that hurt to consume for any reason.
Coined for 10/4 of Felidaety's 100 follower event with the prompt acidity.
