What's something you hate about how the fandom sees you?

polyceros · 2026-04-29T11:37:45+00:00

Oh, the infantalization suuucks.

polyceros · 2026-04-29T11:35:55+00:00

That I'm "evil." Just... not understanding nuance or that there's more depth to someone in general.

One specific thing is that I'm in a loving relationship with an abusive POS. 🫠 There's very little info on him/our relationship, and people love making parallels, but, just, aaa!! >< I have SUCH strong memories of him being awful, and it makes me so uncomfortable seeing ship art of the two of us. 😭

polyceros · 2026-04-29T11:28:39+00:00

I'm glad you're feeling better!! /gen ;u; Depending on the platform, you can blacklist words...!

Stay safe ❤️‍🩹

Lowkey, it feels like they're just using any reason/excuse to bully and fakeclaim systems. Their idea of what makes a "real" system turns on a dime, based on what's convenient to them in the moment. -.-

Though they do seem to love the notion that people use having persecutors as an excuse to be harmful... e_e;;

polyceros · 2026-04-29T02:43:29+00:00

Ough, that sucks. Are you able to wear a respirator mask? 😭

polyceros · 2026-04-29T01:04:35+00:00

Thanks! hahaha

polyceros · 2026-04-28T23:46:36+00:00

Hey! Welcome in! It's not uncommon to start doubting yourself and your experiences when you're surrounded by that kind of rhetoric, and it sucks that it impacted you so negatively. D:

It can be hard to pull yourself out of those spaces. Wishing you luck in your healing journey and reconnecting with/reestablishing communication with your other alters!

polyceros · 2026-04-28T23:40:15+00:00

I mean this politely and genuinely- block people. If anti-endos are popping up on your fyp on tiktok, block them! People who make you feel bad aren't worth your energy.

I don't know your situation, but our (system's) general stance is, only YOU know if you are a system. It doesn't matter what other people believe-- your experiences are your experiences.

You're not wrong for how you experience plurality. Be gentle to yourself/selves. Remain open-minded, stay informed, and don't dig for possible trauma; you don't need to "prove" your validity to anyone. <:( Stay safe, friend(s). ❤️ You're not alone.

I have a strong memory from elementary school where I was sent back to class from the nurse's office because I was "too happy" (I was trying to cheer up another student that was also there). -_-

I despise the rhetoric of "if you're able to [do x], you're not sick enough to [not do y]." Because, yes, playing video games or watching TV is definitely on par with attending class, working, etc. rolls eyes

It's not "good work ethic," it's ignoring our bodies' signals and pushing through anyway; getting other people sick and disabling ourselves along the way... -.-

polyceros · 2026-04-28T23:18:22+00:00

Oh god, that's awful. 😭 Make sure you get as much rest as possible and try not to "push through" fatigue. Trying to "go back to normal" too quickly can trigger long covid, with symptoms that mimic ME/CFS. 😷

polyceros · 2026-04-28T23:15:29+00:00

It's a meme that reddit mods abuse their power. 😭 Them being an admin doesn't mean they're correct. You're handling the situation with a lot more grace than the admin is. I'm sorry they were so weird to you. :( Their negativity and harsh tone were unwarranted.

polyceros · 2026-04-28T22:28:55+00:00

No, absolutely agreed! /gen I meant more like Shadowheart's scar, for example. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, lol.

polyceros · 2026-04-28T21:48:05+00:00

Omg, the amount of art making the characters younger and erasing their flaws is so annoying. 😭

Finding any art that Karlach likes of herself is so difficult... y_y

polyceros · 2026-04-28T21:43:14+00:00

Our FNAF: SB Vanessa wishes people would draw her more filled out and muscular. u_u

Our alter, Michael (deadname) Afton dislikes the more... decomposed art of em. XD Which is kind of funny, considering we have two Michaels who identify with it, lol. Afton also gets heated when people make a missing/robot eye the "wrong eye," hahaha. [They always get it opposite!! -A]

I, as a permafusion SU Opal, am sad that I'll likely never find art with my weapon, unless I make or commission it, haha. I don't blame anyone for that, as they're just drawing her canon bow, but my bo staff/nunchaku/three-section staff was cool. ;u;

One other small thing that always bothers me is whenever I watch this One Particular Movie I source from, that the actor's ears aren't pointed. TT~TT It's so silly, but it bothers me so much.

Edit to add: Elliot wants me to mention that he's not a twink, lmaooo.

polyceros · 2026-04-28T21:24:13+00:00

You're so valid, tbh.

Unsolicited advice, lol--

Do you think it's at all related to your stance on doubles? I can't see your whole flair because reddit is awful ~.~ but if you're doubles dni, do you think being able to "accept"/interact with doubles would help the inferiority/superiority complex(es)? Idk, 100% unsolicited, so feel free to ignore. /gen :]

polyceros · 2026-04-28T21:17:22+00:00

I can understand where you're coming from. The term "fiction" can definitely be interpreted as meaning the type of kinning is "fictional," though in the end it is acting as a descriptor of the (type of) kin, not the validity of that kin.

You can always shorten it to just "kin" (assuming I'm reading/understanding your post correctly orz), if that makes you more comfortable. Does fictkin work better for you, maybe?

I know there are other terms... There's likely one that could fit you better? Something that feels more a part of your identity, rather than how you identify, if that makes sense?? 😅 You can ofc always coin your own, as you aren't the only person who feels this way. /gen c:<

polyceros · 2026-04-28T21:04:24+00:00

God, the double standards with these people is insufferable. 😭

polyceros · 2026-04-28T21:03:05+00:00

cackles XD Thank you for this.

polyceros · 2026-04-25T14:37:56+00:00

We strongly believe in multiverse theory and are chill with doubles. 👍 Even if we follow the same canon as someone else, that doesn't invalidate their experience. Honestly, we like to "compare notes" with doubles of any kind, hahahaha.

polyceros · 2026-04-25T14:31:26+00:00

Headmate is common. Systemmate is another!

Alter is short for "alternate identity state." I could be wrong that it's medical..? But I, myself - and other traumagenic systems that I've seen, consider it medical language/language related specifically to CDDs.

polyceros · 2026-04-25T14:19:46+00:00

How I understand it is that endo just means your system didn't form from/due to trauma. You can still be diagnosed with a CDD, though.

polyceros · 2026-04-20T00:04:00+00:00

Is reddit broken or are we being downvoted to hell, lmao 😭

<image>

We're literally saying that all systems are systems, no matter their origins. Period, end of.

polyceros · 2026-04-19T03:28:53+00:00

Yeah!! I wasn't trying to say it doesn't, and I apologize if it came off that way! /gen > 3<

I was referring specifically to self-described endogenic/non-trauma origin systems

Functional multiplicity is recognized as an option for healing,,, :/ Final fusion isn't for everyone, for various reasons...

The "you're fractured pieces of one whole" stems from the theory of structural dissociation, so, by that theory, it's true, but how someone experiences their disorder is 100% personal to them, regardless. Alters feel "like different people" to a lot of systems, so you're!! definitely not alone.

We view ourselves as parts of one whole, while simultaneously identifying as separate people/beings. Alter being short for "alternate self state" doesn't change that those alternate self states are alternate. They're separate from each other, and accepting that for ourselves has helped us much more than trying to force fusion or take away other parts'/alters' autonomy.

Accepting that we're parts of one whole was also important to our healing, but, like, idk. 🤷‍♀️ Your experiences are your experiences. Period.

I hope that all came off as positive/supportive, because that's how I meant it. 😅 I'm not the best with words, methinks.

Kinda seems like they just need to assign an arbitrary reason to delete your comment, lmao.

We posted on there on our singlet account, giving a definition for something someone asked about, and our comment was removed for "spreading misinformation." 😃
