If He's Waiting For Me At The End Of This, I'm Greeting Death As An Old Friend.

if he's waiting for me at the end of this, I'm greeting death as an old friend.

And maybe with an involuntary "awww there's a cute puppy!!"

.. probably shouldn't do that to Anubis or his jackals but.. what else am I do with a puppa 🥺🥺

A guide will be waiting for you.

✨Welcome to 69 Constellations* in a Trenchcoat✨

*alters (our increasingly misnamed system blog, we don't have 69 alters.)

Welcome to CC's little corner of the internet. We go by Constellation, or the Consellation Collective. Formerly 69consellationsinatrenchcoat (lmao dumbass typo) & 69ottersinatrenchcoat

We have medically recognised dissociative identity disorder (DID), diagnosed PTSD, autism, ADHD, and a variety of chronic illnesses… we're a bit of a medical problem.

We tend to post a mix of things we enjoy and informative content.

A lot of our posts are posted from queue, so you may be speaking with a different alter than who is currently making posts and we aren't online all the time :)

.°˖✧ Posting ✧˖°.

Main topics: DID, OSDD & other CDDs, mental health, psychology, disability & neurodiversity

Side topics (aka a system's worth of interests, and this is no where near all of them): LGBTQ+, books, fanfic, heartstopper, zelda, minecraft... more here

#totally missing some things, but that's okay

Following some concerns around privacy, we have removed all alter intros, apologies.

Some of us don't post here and/or don't want info up. They may post at their leisure, but will usually sign off in the tags with "posted by [emoji]"

Poster lists will remain incomplete, and alters go by pseudonyms for privacy.

.°˖✧ System Info ✧˖°.

We go by Constellation and use they/them pronouns. We're bodily an adult, bi, polyam (though we just say queer), and as far as we're aware, an INFJ 1w2 125 overall.

We post in British English, usually fkgkjgfkjk. Pls, stop saying we're spelling things wrong just because we spell colour with a 'U'.

We're studying to become a psychologist… which… is fun when you have experience with a lot of the things they talk about lol

.°˖✧ Syscourse ✧˖°.

If discussing system origins, we prefer to have measured and respectful discussions, or to avoid it all together.

We recognise that experiences with multiplicity and plurality vary drastically, and that spiritual multiplicity exists and is recognised in the DSM-V-TR, as are DID and OSDD.

Multiplicity is a controversial topic within psychological communities and that there are varying opinions on the existence of non-trauma sourced multiples.

We avoid the 'fandom' attitude to DID as we believe that we should not be watering system experience to the belief that it's fun to have alters, as it invalidates negative experiences. However, there is joy in this disorder.

As with every community, certain things shared in multiplicity spaces are completely false, and we disagree with on a fundamental level. For example, system hopping does not exist (alters, created by one mind cannot magically appear in another's mind unless that system has split an introject [factive] based upon that alter), selling alters is wrong, impossible and immoral, etc

To have DID, individuals must reach certain diagnostic criteria, including showing amnesia between personality states. Some clinicians argue that for a diagnosis of DID to be valid, one must also reach diagnostic criteria for PSTD, meaning you can't have DID without traumatic experiences - however, that does not mean plurality doesn't exist outside DID.

We want to see some solid research into all plural experiences (including those who report non traumagenic origins) but unfortunately there aren't many people doing the research.

There's enough evidence to suggest that plural experiences do exist outside of trauma and that suggests that something is psychologically 'unusual' with those who report plurality outside of trauma.

Traumagenic plurality and various non-traumagenic plural experiences are two different things, however there is overlap. Creating separate language for traumagenic multiples, and endogenic multiples is something we believe may help to create clearer divisions within the communitie; limiting confusion between when a systems is speaking about traumagenic experience, or endogenic experience.

A vast majority of young teens who identify as endogenic or plural without trauma are misinterpreting experiences as a teen by placing labels on things that may perpetuate harmful beliefs. We don't wish to dismiss anyone's experiences by stating that teens cannot be systems (they absolutely can be), however, certain parts of the online system communities, especially system related discords, can be harmful to developing brains and developing personalities.

That being said, we are a diagnosed DID system, and the majority of our posting will be about our experiences with DID, and we will, mostly, interact with trauma based posting. :)

TLDR: our syscourse stance is complicated and each alter in our system has different opinions on it — but basically we believe that endogenic systems do experience multiplicity, just in a different way to disorders like DID, OSDD and P-DID.

Remember, your brain doesn't finish the majority of its development until you're in your mid-twenties!

You are here with the intent to be homophobic, transphobic, queerphobic, sexist, etc. Please don't be an ass.

You are under the age of 16. This blog occasionally contains sexual content (no visuals), experiences and triggering content, and we want to keep you safe. We aren't entirely happy with minors interacting but, 17+ is fine.

Please do not interact with any of our content if you post screenshots to r/systemscringe. Yes, sometimes people do shit for attention, but mocking them publicly is not okay.

Our DMs are open :)

Silly Stuffs because it's fun :)

We made our pfp and banner...and made a DID flag!

Tumblr

*cutely redesigns your DID flag*

Playing around with our DID design assignment, tonight, and I made a thing...? Look, it's just for funsies (and the assignment), I'm not ex

We try our best to include alt/descriptive text on our posts, and where possible we will link any elements/images we've used (usually in alt text)<3

what are your thoughts on scented candles and do you have a favourite scent??? Im trying to find fellow scented candle enjoyers here.

I cannot stand them most of the time (especially not the super cheap/fake ones.. I am so sorry. I do adore candles, but the majority of the time have to be unscented, or lightly scented with essential oils.

However

Scully's air light candles have my heart, especially the Bulgarian rose and lavender. In case anyone is curious: link here

And on that topic, quit the "I hate men" rhetoric. It's old, and sexist, and not funny. If you went around saying "I hate women" you'd be fired at, but why is it okay to say you hate men?

If you're trying to say you hate the patriarchy, just... say that..?

Guys I’m going to make a hot take

pk psa

Are we the only system who genuinely despises using plural kit?? seriously so many people don't realise system data is by default public with the right keys - it doesn't have to be, but it's not an easy to find and many people don't realise.

I was messing around with it, trying to set up a test profile....

and with one misclick I brought up a random system I had never met's full alter list (200+ alters), pronouns, trauma, roles, likes, dislikes, etc. Along with their system description which contained their full trauma history, bodily age, birthday, and social media.

That much information should not be readily available to anyone. It's just not safe. Please be careful how much information you leave public.

Some people aren't that nice and will use that information against you. No matter your age, but minors are particularly vulnerable to it. Knowing your system's full triggers is such an easy way for people to take advantage of you/your system - especially if you have strong amnesia barriers, there's a high chance some system's may not realise anything is happening.

IF YOU USE PK, PLEASE CHECK YOUR PRIVACY SETTINGS.

We use tupperbox instead of pluralkit if we're insisting on chatting as ourselves on discord.. we find it easier to use than PK and there's very little information displayed in a profile (the picture inserted below is all that's displays with a tupper proxy)

Just be careful, everyone. Okay?
