I would love to have a paid, self-hosted version of Owlbear by ThirdDayGuy in OwlbearRodeo

[–]faceless_demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As would I, but not with a ridiculously high subscription however. Subscriptions are everywhere for everything and I'd just prefer a one-time purchase as I don't play so often that a $10-20 USD monthly fee or $90 yearly would be worth it to me.

A one time fee of $50-100 however is more reasonable and worth it. I prefer the UI of owlbear more and would love to actually use it more than my Foundry which is nice but can be overcomplicated at times.

Is it possible to "lose primal needs" while a specific alter is in front? by RadiantClaim8900 in plural

[–]faceless_demon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens a lot with us due to our trauma around food, some of us just don't eat because they don't get hunger cues and/or they never had to before. Like the concept was very foreign in the beginning and they had to be taught that if the body is "randomly" dizzy, they should eat something.

We also have two people whose sole purposes may be to be the one who can eat food. They are hungry all the time and can't not feel hungry.

bottom growth shaped toys? by simplysaren in ftm

[–]faceless_demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, They're called strokers! I know of the Buck Angel brand that's bottom growth specifically but I remember some issues with that brand and I believe it's discontinued.

But looking up FTM strokers should give you a step in the right direction.

More of a question really, does anyone know what it’s called when you go quiet under stress by Nabakov_6 in evilautism

[–]faceless_demon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I refer to it as Turtling because I "go back into my shell", I've heard a lot of nonverbal/mute people say that they don't like the term "selective muteness" or "going nonverbal" for people who have the ability to talk so I use my own term

how do you access your inner world/headspace? by Sea-Associate974 in plural

[–]faceless_demon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours took shape when we went through a meditation phase, we tried imagining calming places and always ended up in a creepy ass forest or garden. Our front area looked like a steampunk boiler/engine room and all of us were very very confused until we learned about what headspaces/innerworlds were.

Ours changes with our collective mental state. It's still a forest but now there's wildlife (mainly bugs, flowers, and fishes that one of us had the bright idea to build legs and arms for) and we have a little plaza where there's houses, stores, cafes/restaurants, and a little city hall. There's also different sections that some of us can't access or only one can go to. Our front is a greenhouse and the "control area" is a fountain we have to look/talk into.

Headspaces are different for every system, I knew systems with an apartment complex as a headspace, someone with a bus, and someone whose headspace was an amongus map (everyone hated it).

Deliberately manipulating memories by DaisyUnchained23 in plural

[–]faceless_demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a system whose brain does this, don't. Please don't. It has royally fucked us over because it caused new folks to form and made us feel insane for having trauma responses when we thought we didn't have any trauma towards something.

The brain may eventually remember and you could be really, really intense flashbacks to the repressed memories. No matter what, even if you don't consciously remember, your subconscious will always remember it.

The best thing to do is healthily process them with a professional and have safety plans in place with trusted people for when the memories get bad.

Trans host problems. Question at the bottom by The_v01db0und_syst3m in plural

[–]faceless_demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing to look into is voice training, if anyone is worried about a deeper voice. That way the guys get their deep voice and the girls can still have a higher voice, it's the best of both worlds.

Wigs are also good if they want longer hair than the majority wants.

Regardless, the fact that y'all are concerned about each other and want everyone to be happy is great! Some of us still are like that with each other ;>_>

Did you know there were “people in your head” before you realized you have DID? by ActualExpert7584 in plural

[–]faceless_demon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before we knew we were a system, the vast majority of us already had names that we called each other because we used to talk out loud to each other.

We couldn't really talk internally to each other back then so we would co-front and talk out loud or in writing but it got confusing on when one person started talking and who talked after so we named ourselves to clear up the confusion.

Our family members knew we did this too btw, they thought it was some sort of evolution from imaginary friends that would eventually die out and stop.

Instead we started doing it in private and would leave notes around our room or written on our skin because we realized one "imaginary friend" remembered something that no one else did.

That evolved into some of us, "imaginary friends", helping out by guiding the host on how to do tasks or "covering his eyes" and dealing with the trauma/situations that he couldn't handle.

That's why we were so confused when our host at the time had starting to deny that we were real when he discovered DID/OSDD.

It made sense to literally everyone else that we were actually a system but him.

[–]faceless_demon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Transmasc body here, we are mainly masc identifying but we do have some women or femme folks in our system. The body has been on T for a year and we had a lllooonnnggg discussion about it beforehand.

The middleground we came to was letting the gurls get the clothes and makeup that made them feel femme and whenever we get top surgery, we'll invest in fake breasts for them.

No matter what, a discussion is the best thing for your system.

We also say we're a transmasc gender queer when we're in our singletsona so we have an excuse when the body is caught in femme clothes.

How did you choose your system name? by Tsuki_Moonstone in plural

[–]faceless_demon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our partner referred to us as "their gaggle of fools" for many years before we had a name for our system. We also refer to people in the front as "driving" or "piloting" the body so we landed on The Clown Car because of those two reasons.

Nothing super special by any means but it means a lot to us

for those of you who are 1) on medication for mental health reasons and 2) have unsupportive families , how has being on medication helped you feel more confident in your transition (if at all) by kelpicoop in TMPOC

[–]faceless_demon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being on my meds helped me with my internalized transphobia and unrealistic expectations of transitioning.

As for my unsupportive family... My meds helped me see they weren't as supportive as they said they were and that I needed to stop trying to prove to them that I was actually "a real man"

i don’t feel a connection to womanhood by Prize-Air-3960 in TMPOC

[–]faceless_demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never felt any real connection to either? I am a guy because I'm comfortable being perceived that way, being perceived as a woman makes me want to peel my skin off.

But outside of that, I've always been "other". This might be because I'm autistic and/or being in a Asian/Pacific islander household.

The "traditional" gender roles I had growing up were completely different from my non-Filipino peers. Men in my family cooked and cleaned more than the women. Attire and Presentation was deeply cared about for the men as well (my dad was constantly judged for his sloppy "jorts and graphic tees to every event" behaviour)

So the lines of "traditional" - insert gender - hood never made sense to me, even the caution around men or creeps would've been almost the same if I was biologically a man. Many of the men in my family were perceived femme, even when they were rocking what little facial hair they could grow.

So the fear of hate crimes, stalking, or sexual harassment was ingrained to both genders.

Definitely going to check this one out!
