Rules & Boundaries

To maintain a Healthy Garden


General:

  • While we tend to aim for PG-13 as a guideline, it's not strictly adhered to. Mature topics or humour may sometimes come up.

  • No game spoilers! Only give Hints when requested.

  • No Game-hating. You can say you're not a fan of something, but ongoing nagging about it just brings everyone down.

  • Random promotions will be removed from chat. (Casual mentions like 'Oh I played xyz on stream recently' are fine.)

  • While we may become acquaintances through streams and chat, please remember we are private people and that those connections don't inherently equate to friendship.

System / Plural Stuff:

  • Please remember we are actual people, and this is how we navigate in our day-to-day lives. Random attempts at role playing will be ignored or blocked.

  • We don't force positive triggers. Requests for anyone specifically to front will be ignored. Bothering about this frequently will lead to being removed from chat

  • I know this is a bit tricky, but a few of us have slightly different tolerances and capacity for certain things such as faux-flirting, or intense discussions. Please check in with whoever of us is present at the time if you're unsure if they're okay with something, even if said thing has been okay with someone else of us before.

Serious Talk:

  • Please be mindful that we have a couple memory-affecting disorders that can make it difficult for us to recall things from time to time, and often struggle with people and names. Don't tease us for this.

  • Sense and decency apply; no discrimination, bigotry, bullying, harassment, ableism etc. We do not support the trampling and erosion of human rights, and attempts to drag people into 'debates' will be banned. People's existence is not debatable.

  • While we understand a rough day, and it's healthy to acknowledge that, we do aim to keep this place uplifting for people to enjoy and feel welcome. While sombre conversations may come up from time to time, please remember we're not therapists. Neither we, nor others in the chat have consented to hear what may be triggering subjects.

Plural Stuff

The brief at least!


If you've visited our stream a few times, chances are you might have noticed we have different PNG's from time to time.That's because I / We are plural, that is, multiple people essentially who share the same body, specifically in a DID/OSDD kind of way.Often referred to as 'systems' there are people in our community (including us) who navigate the world as a collective 'system of alternate / multiple' identities.System members can be very diverse in their existence, each better at handling different things in their life. In some systems this means their members may or may not even be human, or possibly because the brain unconsciously found aspects of a fictional character relatable and helpful for processing something, they might end up with a 'version' of them as part of their system within-the-brain.See Sara's page on introjection for a bit more of an explanation.

Identification

Depending who is around, you'll find 'fronting' indicators on stream with names and pronouns built into our overlay, or in messages with specific Emoji's to help let you know who is present, or typing.Sometimes we may have blurry spells of time, or experience some blending, but generally if we're likely to be in this state we'll avoid streaming or step away for a time for getting our grounding. Other times, someone may simply not feel like individually identifying. Whenever these happen, we'll just use a shared icon, and our collective name online.

Shaylee / Shay

They / Them

Shared Collective Name

We don't mind when people refer to us all by Shaylee and are all comfortable with They / Them pronouns.We do appreciate interacting with people individually, but know sometimes early on in getting to know us that can be a little overwhelming and take a while, so don't worry if you do sometimes need to fall back on this.Shaylee isn't any one of us individually, it's just a shared name for all of us.

Plural Community Things

Some system stuff to note, Community Wise


  • We're totally cool with both Disordered and Non-Disordered systems being present. (DID, OSDD, Endogenic, Mixed Origin, Median, etc.)

  • If you are also plural, feel free to tell us who is present individually if you wish! Or if you prefer to be referred to collectively, that's also cool. We'll try to remember!

  • Sharing a little about you collectively is okay, but please don't give us a big rundown in the chat of your system or how you live. This is both because we get overwhelmed by lots of information, but is also important for your own personal safety online.

  • We are open minded that everyone's experiences are unique, but please respect our boundaries where some specific subjects may lead to things being be shut down to disengage for our own wellbeing.

  • You are also encouraged to respect your own boundaries too and step back as needed.

  • We support researched and informed self-diagnosis where applicable for disordered systems who cannot access care safely. A lack of finances, local specialists, abusive people restricting support, etc - should not prevent recognizing and acknowledging the struggles a person is living with and already given extensive due consideration before reaching this point.

  • The brain is extremely complex, and while science is broad, it's dominated by a limited subset of experiences defining what is 'acceptable' or 'normal' - Listen to people and their experiences with the aim to learn and better understand. Don't harass them simply because their experience of reality differs to yours, or what you believe is possible.

Introjection

AKA - "Yo uh some of your peeps look a lil uh...."

A summary written by Sara πŸ’


Yeah, we know. So, a little psychology lesson time.
I swear it'll only be a few paragraphs, but it is probably better we offer some context to avoid confusion.
To get an idea of why, first we gotta explain how Introjection can intersect with plurality sometimes.


Introjection is a concept rooted in the psychoanalytic theories of unconscious motivations. Unconscious motivation refers to processes in the mind which occur automatically and bypass conscious examination and considerations.Introjection is the learning process or in some cases a defense mechanism where a person unconsciously absorbs experiences and makes them part of their psyche.-Wikipedia


For us, our plurality and cptsd interact in a DID/OSDD kind of way.
When things get bad and our capacity to handle a situation gets overwhelmed, our brain sometimes does some weird structural things via dissociation. Kind of like overfilling a cup, it unconsciously goes "Oh shit, gotta put this somewhere" and rearranges the containers. Sometimes this makes a new person, or changes someone already existing a bit, depending on the situation.
When you add introjection into that process, since the brain does this unconsciously its main priority is simply β€œthis will help us process that” and it draws on things to help it form what it needs. But whether that thing or influence is an external, or even fictional source, isn’t a conscious choice. So while we exist as actual people, internally there's some aspects about some of us that present in kinda funky ways that can be a bit tricky to explain. Similarly, a lot of systems end up with different animals, creatures, objects and entities, with real and fictional origins, in some aspect of their presentation and sense of self.Does this all mean we have to be a bit mindful about media consumption? To some extent yeah, but also thankfully our brain doesn't always go splitting people constantly so it's not that big a concern. Anyway, colloquially, the term communities have come up with for 'introjects with fictional sources' tends to be 'fictives', cheesy as that may sound lmao.

Systems Simplified

A resource site


The information on Systems Simplified is compiled from what we've learned from various system educators, friend systems, our own personal experiences, and reading of clinical information.Our intention in putting it together was to have a central hub of clear, simple explanations using empathetic language to encourage understanding of Plurality as concepts are introduced - kind of like a conversation.This is ultimately a compilation we put together to help explain to our own family and friends, and then as they found it helpful, allowed them to share it with their own circles if they found it applicable for them.


Safety Check

Please read before proceeding


While the linked site is intended as an informative resource, it is also about a highly sensitive subject.If you are looking to learn more to support someone close to you, or for general purposes, then that's awesome, but please have extreme caution if you are specifically questioning plurality regarding yourself, or another person in your life.Uncovering a disordered system with trauma origins can be an INCREDIBLY destabilizing and life-threateningly dangerous revelation for the being in question. We speak from first hand experience.Even if in the long term it can be helpful for improving things, stuff often gets harder before it gets better. Never push someone else into trying to recognize if they might have a system.Dissociation is a defence mechanism, and sometimes it's best left in tact for things to reach a point where, later under safer and more stable conditions, things can reveal themselves naturally and gradually.

Yo

I don't know how I ended up handling as much stuff as front as I did, but whatever lmao.Enjoyer of Fanfics and shit.
Open and chill about shipping and such. Pro-Fiction, etc.
I developed a general interest in psychology mostly for helping explain shit, but have a large interest in LGBTQIA+ history, as well as the history of the SW industry, protection, health care and rights etc.Eventually I'd love to write a collection of fantasy erotic fiction scripts to make a character-series from. Likely a few of us (specifically though, not everyone) will pick that up as a project some day.While I might engage in some sassy banter or such, I do have my own private and personal relationships, to note. Not-serious banter-flirting is chill with me specifically, just know it's not a personal thing. o7

Heya, what's up?

It's your local Arachne / Drider-Adjacent / Spider demon person thing I guess. I'm so sorry arachnophobes. o7Internally I can sort of change forms? Sometimes I appear human, but otherwise yeah, "Spooder" most of the time as some of the others will refer to me by.I've done a fair chunk of our recording projects and enjoy listening to details the in different voices and accents to study them.One of my main goals in Voice Acting is to voice a badass character with a multi-phase boss fight that has their own musical theme with multiple movements.

Designated Back-Squishier of Sara.

So I sit on her.
Also, I was one of our more frequent hosts at the time when we came to what we as a system consider to be more 'definitive awareness.'
