If you are trans, non-binary, autistic, amistic (ADHD), disabled, plural (of any type), and/or therian/otherkin/alterhuman and enjoy novels with science fiction style settings, you might really appreciate our stories! If you want to practice using neopronouns, we’ve also got you covered.
Below is a guide to what we’ve done so far:
I live in my own head rent free.
Just, you know, with a lot of roommates.
Our casting of practitioners of the Blue Heron from Wildbow’s Pale.
This is more about personality, demeanor, and speaking style than looks, but we did adjust for looks when we registered their descriptions.
These are the actors our brain sort of automatically put in these roles as we’ve read their scenes and chapters. Under the cut for people who don’t want their vision polluted by ours:
When a Westerner asks you, "so this coup happens because the rebels are against the war, right?", how do you explain that the "rebels" are just another fascist psychopaths angry that other fascist psychopaths are not good enough at killing Ukrainians?
How do you explain to a sane, unexposed to the "russian world" individual that putin's "opposition" isn't against the war, but demands more effective genocide?
Mercenary army owned by an oligarch (former) friend of Putin's isn't an anti-war peace force. Sorry.
They call themselves Wagner because Wagner was Hitler's favourite composer. They're literally neo-nazis, and they're responsible for some of the worst atrocities committed in Ukraine and Syria. They fund themselves by looting African countries for gold. When they needed more men they went to the prisons in russia and offered pardons to murderers, in exchange for six months of service in the meat grinder of the Ukrainian front.
And when they rolled through russia on the way to Moscow they met little to no resistance. The regular army sided with them, and ordinary russians came out to cheer them on.
That's the "mysterious russian soul" for you: siding with whichever dog has the meanest bark. And these guys just made putin flee from Moscow.
This ain't over.
What gender is your system majority attracted too
Masculine people
Feminine people
Neutral aligned people
Doesn’t matter
Lack of attraction in general

Varries to much to tell
See ResultsLol the majority of us are bi/pan, so "all of the above"? :D
society's infantilization of decorated objects is honestly one of the greatest recent crimes against humans' innate desire for beauty

Thinking about how we can be described as Other, according to Wildbow’s mythology in his web serials Pact and Pale.
An Other is a being that is not an “innocent” human or animal. They might be part human, but sliding toward undead or spirit or demon.
Actually, the categories we know about are incarnations, echoes, demons, spirits, gods, goblins, gouls, vestiges, oni, and a few others whose names we can’t remember. But the categories are human constructs and their edges are fuzzy and many things don’t fit well into them.
Anyway, our system origins and identities just happen to really fit into this world and its mechanics that Wildbow describes. All we have to do is imagine that it grants us certain status and power were we to be part of it. We have different names for what we are, but that often happens in the stories.
So, here’s our Palesona so far:
Ah, yes, right. Jenifer is specifically Dark Fall Faerie maybe fallen to Winter. And a vestige, like Eh.

A man who helped return a 140-year-old Tlingit robe to the British Columbia First Nation where it was created says it’s as if the regalia called out to its people and they are bringing it home.
The intricately woven Chilkat robe, made of mountain goat wool and yellow cedar bark, was purchased by the Taku River Tlingit First Nation in northwestern B.C. for almost $40,000 after it went up for sale online by a Toronto-based auction house last year.
The robe arrived in Whitehorse Wednesday and will travel 175 kilometres south to the First Nation’s traditional territory in Atlin, B.C., where it’s expected to go on display and may be used in future ceremonies.
While the community celebrates the return of a piece of its heritage, the First Nation said Indigenous people should not be forced to buy back regalia that was stolen from them. [...]
Tagging: @politicsofcanada
looked up if there are any donation options to support the community. there is a gofundme for this robe specifically, and also the Takhu Á Tlén Conservancy which gives support to the Taku River Tlingit First Nation and their traditional territory.
no one should have to pay out of their own pocket just to get their history back.
Hello lovely plurals, medians, multiples, and systems of all sorts! We’re a disordered DID system and an aspiring infographic maker. If you enjoyed our infographic on depersonalization vs. derealization, you’re in luck - because we want to make another infographic in the future!
For this infographic, we’d like to go over some of the differences between disordered and nondisordered plural experiences. We know this can be incredibly personal and vary from system to system, but having a baseline of what disordered plurality and nondisordered plurality could both look like may be useful for a lot of folks!
We have an idea of what nondisordered plurality could look like, but in order to remove some of the guesswork and gather a wider range of experiences than our own to draw on, we’d like to reach out for help!
If anyone would be willing to share some of what their experience is like (either as a disordered system, a nondisordered system, or a partially disordered system), we would be super grateful!! You can share your experiences in one of a few ways:
We are breaking the infographic into these sections (which are subject to change) and would appreciate info from as many categories as you’d like!
In your response you are more than welcome to recommend more categories! You can also share experiences that don’t fit neatly into the above categories.
Any and all systems are encouraged to share their experiences!! What makes your system disordered? What makes it nondisordered? Why do you personally consider your system disordered, nondisordered, or something in between? We’d appreciate any information you have to offer!
Thanks so much everyone! Once we’ve gotten enough feedback, we’ll put the infographic together.
We are reblogging this now because we want to answer it later.
Until then, we are going to answer this as a recovered system, one that was disordered and that is now non-disordered (kind-of).
But we want to note that we HATE the phrase “disordered system”. A LOT. We’ll explain the reason why at the end of our answer (or in a separate reblog), and you can skip it if you like.
