Just because your comfort character is in a system doesn’t mean you can treat them like that without consent.
My partner system and I both have communicated consent between fictives. If we see someone as a comfort then with their consent we are allowed to ask for them.
(Both of our systems have good communication and can typically switch easily and without pain, of course it isn’t always easy and neither of us get mad or upset about it. We are both lucky to have good communication systemwide and remember all systems are different.)
Communication is key and remember no is a final answer. “Maybe” or “I don’t know” does not mean yes.

I want to cook with them. I want to get my hands dirty with flour and poke their nose while we giggle about how silly we look. I want to hug them from behind while they stir our meal in a pot and and sit together while we eat and praise each other for how well we did on the dish. It's the simple things that makes life with them magical.
Your outfit looks lovely today, Dreamer. I know how difficult it can be to appreciate your creation and self. Especially when others try to tear you from your throne with Ill-intended comments and remarks. It can be disheartening. But their words hold no weight if you do not let them.
You are fierce and you are magnificent. You deserve to wear whatever you please.
Wear the hand-sewn cape you laboured over, the keychain on your belt that jingles happily, the glasses chains, decorated with little, colourful beads that spell out “Ceaseless watcher”.
However you present yourself today, tomorrow, or any other day. You look wonderful.
Okay because neopronouns and xenogenders are so fucking cool. Honest to god I think they're the best shot we have right now at gender abolitionism. Not terf gender abolitionism, but real gender abolitionism. Where we can decenter gender and its constructs as the most important basis for identity and like actually identify with things that are meaningful to us and give a sense of personal fulfillment.
I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me that a teenage gamer boy thinks being a boy is more pivotal to his identity than being a gamer. Obviously being a gamer is more important to him! Now, if someone took away from him the fact that he was a boy or attempted to undermine it, being a boy would become pretty fucking important to him. But hey, removing those external factors he might just identify as a gamer.
I feel like neopronouns and xenogenders are our transition (heh) state to that world. It reminds me so much of when they/them started to become popular on tumblr in like 2013 (i'm sure it was before then too, that's just when i got tumblr). Everyone flipped their collective fucking lid, cringe compilations were everywhere, and people cried the death of empiricism and western society. And now I get gendered as they/them, entirely unprompted, by cis people who don't know me.
So much of the criticism I've seen of these identities is that "they're just hobbies!", "that's just your special interest not your gender", or "that's just an aesthetic you like". and, YES!!!! That's the point! All of those things are equally as important to someone's identity and sense of self than arbitrary gender boxes we've made!
Gender abolitionism is a long term goal like any other anarchist principle. I personally like my gender, I like being called a man and referred to as he. Fuck anyone who says I can't. I'd also like for that to not have to be so important to me. I wish I could just be a writer, or someone who really likes the color green, or a gamer.
So what I'm trying to say is keep fucking with gender kids!! Make more of them, find pronouns that don't exist yet and use them with your friends. Have fun! Keep going! A better world will be made because of it.
alters who don’t front often or never front are completely valid and are still real alters
we still perform duties for the system, it’s only from the inside instead of the outside. and even if you don’t perform a “duty” that you deem important you’re still serving one. even if it’s something hyperspecific or strange. even if you don’t know what that duty is.
hosts and protectors and other alters that front often get most of the spotlight, so let’s all remember to be thankful for our system managers, the internal self helpers, and other alters who perform duties almost completely internally as well. :-)

Mechs Miscellaneous Headcanons
they’re immortal. they’ve amassed far too much liquor. ashes has decided to make a fun game where they swap half the bottles for rocket fuel and space alchohol is so weird that it’s anyones guess which is which until they die four shots in
100% of the time if anyone says “give me a hand” whoever gets there first pulls a buzz lightyear joke, but it’s someone cutting off their hand on the spot and chucking at them. this never happens around marius cause they don’t want to give him the satisfaction
they have had Aurora tow one moon to another moon to see if they’ll mate and make Moon Babies (this is not the moons that were in love. that gave them the idea)
by doing so they infested both moons with the other moon’s invasive species and threw off their gravity entirely, completely disrupting their ecosystems and forcing the moons to form an entirely new ecosystem, which raphaella insisted meant they technically DID make a moon baby, just on a larger scale than expected
tim has the same relationship to his guns as that one penguin does to his trophies in surf’s up. you know the one i’m talking about.
due to the Mechanisms being semi-narrative powered, they’ve become somewhat superstitious about storytelling. the phrase Once Upon A Time is to the Mechs what Macbeth is to theatre kids: you will get tackled and forced to participate in strange rituals to counteract this. the most common of which is just airlocking
brian’s second pair of eyes are in his hat and that’s why the goggles are stupidly positioned on top of the hat
ivy has used book glue in her tea without noticing. nastya uses cyberian vodka on purpose.
at one point ashes returned to malone, only to learn about what happens when you burn an ecosystem and second growth forests- the planet is teeming with life. in any other story this would be symbolic of rebirth and possibly an emotional turning point. but this is the mechs, so instead there is a LOT of cussing and they burn the planet down again but WORSE- Fire 2 Arson Boogaloo
jonny has spurs cause he’s a cowboy and also Kicking: It’s Like If Your Feet Could Bite
there’s a planet they have sworn never to return to that’s just populated by naked mole rats with machetes. the rats have decapitated several members of the crew. on separate occasions.
mom said its my turn with the meatsuit
DID is so fun because I don't know if my thoughts and feelings are mine or someone else's or are a mix of mine and someone else's or are because of trauma and have no real reason or someone else is fronting entirely and we don't realize and it's their thoughts and feelings that I'm assuming are mine and I have no idea what I think or feel about anything because I don't know how to tell my actual thoughts and feelings
: DD it’s me!!!- 🎙️

flag and term coined by me, '-alfosic' term and flag template by@/pupyzu, inspired by@/pupyzu, flag and term coined by me
flag version with blood under the cut:
whenever ur sad, imagine this guy comforting you
us: goes through a very stressful event
brain: have a gay twink
us: uhh thanks i guess, but how does this help?
brain: have another one
Just randomly thinking about The Good Place again about how the Soul Squad fundamentally change not only the afterlife but life on earth. Not only do they make it so people become their best selves in the afterlife, but that effort? The good people that they become, contributes to the improvement of life on earth.
When someone leaves they put all that good that got them to the good place back to the world, making it just a little better.
GAH IT MAKES ME TEAR UP
does Justin Timberlake know he's responsible for an entire holiday on tumblr
Look, it’s cool to see feminine guys in short skirts, thigh high socks or tights being all confident and sexy but it would be really cool to see guys with different types of femininity.
Like... Where are all the men that like to twirl around in big puffy dresses and gowns, wear tiaras and have tea in an ivory tower? Where are all the guys that wear glasses, a cute skirt and a sweater that like to have a latte at Starbucks while they’re working on their essay on their laptop? Where are the ones that wear ties that match their skirts to go to work? Where are the elderly men looking elegant in their long-sleeved dresses and their high bun sitting comfortably at a window in a room inside their huge old mansion to read a book during a rainy day? Where are all the men with pretty smiles, wearing alice bands, dresses with cute prints, carrying cute bags and purses, mesmerizing everybody they meet? Where are the guys that like to bake pies and have picnics in the forest with their animal friends, comfortably sitting under a tree, looking all pretty in a pink strawberry dress?
There are so many different types of femininity! Different types of male femininity! And they should be represented more often!
