✨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!
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
"Urban decacy proves a pervasive motif in 1984" you mean, the make-up brand? damn, I didn't know Winston was a drag queen
The pipeline of growing up in a strict homophobic Christian household to raging queer is so common and 100% iconic
Love y'all <3
extra points if you either retained your Christianity, or became a witch.... or both
following a few 'vaccines cause autism' posts
I'm autistic, and vaccinated.
I was autistic before I was vaccinated. I was autistic before I got my MMR vaccination.
I am autistic.
I am vaccinated.
They're two very different things.
I get vaccinated for my health, and for other's health.
I'm autistic because I was born with it.
For the last time, autism is not caused by a vaccination; if you're autistic, you're born with it.
And the academic paper that was published that cites that vaccines cause autism has been proven time and time again to be false - and the person who published it (Andrew Wakefield) has been discredited and deregistered
eighty five minute holds to talk to disability services is insane
...their music choice is so bad too
Someday my body might stop hurting (it's been six years. I doubt it).
Surprise, I can be an ass when necessary. I'm not all sunshine and flowers like some people think I am. Put my system in danger or be intolerant of differences and you will see the other side.
Disabled joy: having energy, skipping on my crutches down the road in the sun!!! After getting absolutely soaked at a drinking fountain ehehehhe
..being 1,000 words over the word limit when your word limit is 2,000 words
maybe got a bit excited there.. that's just... a third of the amount of work you needed to do....
oh yeah but I'm done yet
Heyyyyy, people missing limbs / who've had limbs amputated etc
Fellow disabled person here wanting to learn a bit more; what term do you prefer when referring to, like, you as a person w/o a limb?
Amputee? Limbless? Wielder of prosthetic/s? (okay, that was a joke but sounds badass)
Thank u sm!!!!
I feel like such a horrible person for having War/Ukraine/Gaza/Palestine tags filtered... but I come to Tumblr to relax, and I can't deal with photography, footage and graphic descriptions.
It's a choice I make for my mental health, and one I feel guilt for, but one I know is for the better.
To anyone in a similar situation, it's okay to block political, and triggering things: it doesn't make you a bad person, and doesn't change your stance on the situation. Humans aren't made to have a constant onslaught of information.
I was taking to an old teacher of mine, told her we had DID medically recognised and she goes "yea...not surprised" 🥴🫠
body dysmorphia + weight gain due to illness - finally starting to recover from five years of eating disorder = hell
(plus we've been in a dress tonight and goddddd I cannot deal with this...)
Writing will have you googling shit like this
"Sometimes I wish I was never born at all" suicidal [passive suicidality], not "bye, going to jump off a cliff" suicidal [active suicidality], is a difference I wish therapists understood and respected lol
