Plural Terms - Tumblr Posts
Oooo, we saw a few terms related to this in pluralpedia (a really great website btw, we can and will spend hours browsing it for new cool terms). Were trying to find the one about headmates that are soley able to be communicated with through dreams (might not exist, which in that case, term coining time) but also know of a few others that are related.
Alright, we'll just give a few direct links cause explaining it will take soo many paragraphs
And then theres this one which is probably closely related to whats happening. There might be a layer(s) or smth that yall can only access through dreams maybe?
Anyway, sorry for info(link?)dumping. We love talking and learning about this kinda stuff.
yo i just had a dream that we got a new headmate that identified as bigenderqueer and like. that's a banger gender
Hello! I am sorry for the weird ask, but you were one of the first ones I felt safe in asking, but you don't happen to know any kind of term for a member that mostly does the 'adult' stuff? Such as mostly fronting/co-fronting/co-conning whichever when the host is at work, job hunting, driving, etc.
I thought of 'manager' or even 'overseer' (which is funny to me, a Doctor Iceberg fictive, the promotion we all deserve I think) but I don't know if that exactly fits, and we cannot seem to find an actual proper term for it, like caretaker doesn't make sense since i don't look after the body itself just I don't know job shit, and stuff like driving. I know we have the power to coin a term but the anxiety.
Thank you for the help in advanced. - ❄️
Ok, we just did a pluralpedia dive for you, and here are a few terms that might fit!
LockHost
Ive been looking for a system term to describe myself for a while, and decided fuck it we ball and made one myself
A lockhost is an alter in a system that seems to be the 'main' host, and is almost always fronting. They may also decribe themself as 'front-locked' or 'front sticky,' but this may not always be the case. They may be able to leave front or the front area, but are usually aware of whats going on with front anyways, and they are quite often pulled back to front within a short period of time. Because of this, they usually become the bodies 'main identity' in a system.
Other alters may use the identity of the lockhost as a mask in the case that they do not want to show themself, and may also interact with or control the body via the lockhost. In the case of a lockhost being an introject, it would not be uncommon for several doubles of the lockhosts source to also be present in the system.
Lockhosts may also act similarly to 'Observers,' in that they are always aware of the body to some degree, and can quickly be pulled to front in the case that they happen to not be fronting in the traditional sense. The lockhost may also serve many other roles in the system, but not always.
In the case of a lockhost also being part of a subsystem or side system, they may or may not be a lockhost of those as well.
!!!THIS CREATOR OF THIS TERM IS PRO ENDO. I CANNOT STOP ANTI-ENDOS FROM USING IT BUT DO NOT INTERACT WITH ME OR MY POSTS OR I WILL BLOCK. ENDO NEURTALS ARE FINE TO INTERACT. PLEASE RESPECT OUR BOUNDARIES!!!
We are aware that there is a similar term to this that was made by an anti endo, however this term was coined without knowledge of the post existing. Do with that info what you will, keep us out of discourse. And like we said before, we don't care who uses this term, but we ask that anti endos not reblogged so we don't get dragged into discourse.
Plurality Practice
Plurality Practice is a sub term under neo-religion in which a system has a system specific spiritual practice.
It can be worshipping in-system gods/deities, following practices from source, having spiritual based plural workings, ect.
[Any system can use this term]
Tagging @ficto-religious-archive
Coʊst (pronounced "coast"; phonetically combines "core" and "host")
An alter who is a host, but doesn't fully identify with the term "host" due to complexities of having the original's memories and a strong connection to the original's/the body's history, without being the original or a core.
We couldn't find a pre-existing term, so we made one ourselves to describe Ace. If there's a term that already exists, please do let us know.
The flag is based on/inspired by/takes elements of the core flag (https://pluralpedia.org/w/Core) and host flag (https://pluralpedia.org/w/Host).
Anyone is allowed to use this, just don't involve us in syscourse. If you "have" to know, we are a traumagenic DID system, but again, ANYONE can use our term. Just, you know, credit us.
Edit : By "anyone" we mean any origin/diagnosis status/plurality type/syscourse side/ect
Psychegenic System Pride Flag “Psychegenic is an origin label for when a system is plural due to there being multiple souls in one body. This can evolve into other origins over time, like traumagenic or endogenic.“
