Wreck this Grimoire
The Faery Games
challenges
Twelve Days of Tarot
monthly readathons
grimoire hangouts and more!
Beginner friendly, Liber Coven is a great place for discussing different practices with people from all over the US and even different parts of the world! We are a community that loves finding and sharing resources and getting and giving advice on everything from cleansing to spirit keeping.

Custom roles for everything from gender to astrological signs
If your system functions differently to everyone elses, that doesn’t mean that it’s less real. Plurality is such a varied experience and no two systems function the same way. You’re real, you’re valid, and you’re no lesser for being different.
It’s okay if you can’t figure out if your identity is psychological, spiritual or something else in nature. Your identity is important regardless of why it exists and you don’t need to fit into any boxes to make yourself valid.
hey so can anyone recommend me like a good, factual website to learn about systems? we’re doing a genius hour project and I know most of the stuff already, but I can’t exactly cite headspace as a source lol.
every time I think I find a good one it’s like “and endos exist” but won’t elaborate or anything. and if yall think endos exist bc of religion or something then I can’t say anything about that in school, but scientifically, they can’t exist.
anyway if a website says that, then it’s not a scientific, factual, website. so I need some to cite.
not having enough time for hobbies when you’re a system
I feel like one of the things people don’t talk about as a system is that you can’t get the body to practice your hobby often enough to be good at it?
like m. m is a cheerleader. in headspace she’s incredibly flexible and can do super cool cheerleader shit. but even if she stretched every single time she fronted, it wouldn’t be consistent enough to get the body flexible. she’s tried.
and brynn loves baking. but she doesn’t front enough to bake enough to get good at it.
the only way to have consistent hobbies is when most of the members of the system enjoy it. and even then, it’s iffy.
I have a few hobbies I’ve gotten good at, just because I’m the host, but even little things like video games are hard. yesterday we passed a video game level easily and got more lives and power ups during it. so I decided to do it again, to get more, only to fucking lose all of it, because I had no idea who was cocon and who was doing what.
anyway hobbies are hard and not enough people are complaining about it so I will
A form of attraction exclusive to members of the same system; described as a desire to integrate with another system member(s), or be in a partnership where the end-goal is some form of integration. Some people might consider this a form of plurelic attraction, while others might consider it autonomous.
Those who experience weavic attraction may feel feelings of wanting to be very close with, communicate/switch easily between, share responsibilities and/or struggles with, understand in a way others cannot, and/or be one in the same as another member, and may feel as though integration would make them feel more complete, or be the perfect form of partnership for all involved parties.
This may include partial / non-fusion integration, in which members break down barriers but do not become one in the same (creating smoother communication, switching, etc.), or it may specifically describe wanting to integrate in such a way that the parties involved become the same person.
A weavic “crush” is called a wrush (said like “rush”), and a weavic relationship may be called a weavingorweavingship.
This was made with my own personal experiences as a dissociative system in mind, but non-dissociative systems can also use this if integration of some kind is something they experience. I may not have used the most inclusive language because I don’t know the specific experiences of every system, but rest assured, if you’re a system that experiences integration, you can use this.
(Anti-integration weirdos will be blocked on sight. No, integration is not death, “killing your headmates” or anything like that. Don’t be weird and don’t demonize system functions.)

i continually see posts telling people how to treat systems correctly and yet i STILL see systems being hurt by harmful behavior, whether singlets know it or not.
do NOT put whether an alter is an introject or not above them being a real person. as a singlet BY DEFAULT their source does not matter to you. treat them like you would anyone else until you know what they are and aren’t okay with.
do NOT treat alters other than the host like they’re lesser than them. everyone in a system is in the same boat, your host friend included. if you treat any other alter like shit the host (and everyone else in the system) WILL be affected.
do NOT trigger alters on purpose. i shouldn’t even have to say this. we aren’t fun little toys for you to play with, we’re REAL FUCKING PEOPLE. i don’t care how big of a fan of our sources you are or how stupid you think our triggers are. be a decent person and treat us like you would anyone else. it’s dehumanizing to act otherwise.
do NOT make jokes about “waiting for [x] to split” to your system friends. this one really depends on the boundaries of whoever’s in question, but joking about wanting us to split is insensitive. we don’t split for fun or for you to interact with your favorite character. we split because it’s how our brain knows how to cope. you’re not in the place to make jokes about this unless you KNOW it’s okay.
often times i see posts like this get mainly reblogged by systems, when singlets are the ones who perpetuate this behavior a majority of the time. singlets can (and should) reblog AND internalize this. we’re real people with a real disorder. learn to treat us like human beings.
actually to add just one thing onto this: the host is no more nor less important than any other alters to you as a singlet. every alter in a system is of equal value to the system, the only thing that distinguishes a host as the host is that they front the most and typically can handle day-to-day life. i am very tired of having singlets treat alters in my system so differently because to them the host is the body and the personality, etc. please treat everyone in a system the same way you would treat the host - amicably and not like we’re “temporary” parts of your/the host’s life. we’re all people.
small addition:
if a system is using a bot to speak it is a tool. if someone is using a bot to roleplay it is for fun.
if you see an alter speaking then that doesn’t mean start roleplaying. please be respectful.
Dysaltered,or dysalt for short, is a term for disabled alterhumans, such as those who feel as though their disability impacts their alterhumanity or vice versa, those who are alterhuman due to disability, or otherwise has disability linked with alterhumanity in a sense. You can also spell it as disaltered or disalt.
Dysaltered people do not need to be any specific kind of alterhuman, nor any specific kind of origin or experience, to be dysaltered. Those who are alterhuman and disabled, but that are not impacted by each other, can still use this if they so choose.
As a concept or community, dysaltered focuses specifically on disabled inclusion, accommodation, and discussion within the alterhuman community. It may also focus on experiences only disabled alterhumans have, such as the impact of mobility aids.
This is an all-inclusive label in which many experiences under both the alterhuman and disabled umbrella may fit, and gatekeeping is strictly not okay. Any disabilities (physical, mental, etc.) are welcome, as are any diagnosis status.
This is NOT synonymous with “[origin] caused alterhumanity.” Any kind of alterhuman, spiritual, psychological, or otherwise, may be disabled, and thus may be dysaltered.
Flag, symbol, and description are by me, whereas the name suggestion was by the lovely @sunshinesolaic. Subterms, alternate flags and alternate symbols are welcome!
If you feel like you want to use this, but have a specific alterhuman identity and don’t feel comfortable simply using “alterhuman,” you’re welcome to use dys- as a prefix, like dyskin, dyshearted, dyslink, dystelic, etc.
