Polyfrag System - Blog Posts

forming an introject of a character from a media source you hate is just telling yourself over and over again "THEYRE NOT THEIR SOURCE THEYRE NOT THEIR SOURCE THEYRE NOT THEIR SOU-"

I guess we have a BMO fictive who’s like a translator for headmates who don’t speak or don’t speak English.

The thing about being an autistic system undergoing a host change is that now all our former safe foods don’t taste the same and we have to figure out safe foods all over again…

We’re rapid switching and blurry so we aren’t sure who is who in the following. So everyone is just “me”

THE TALE OF MOVING HOUSE: PART BATHROOM

Way Past Me: I will gather all the bathroom items in a handful of bags so it will be easier to get that room functional again quickly.

Past Me: I need more bags than I thought. I’ll need to empty a few. Good thing the bathroom stuff is all together! I’m going to dump it all INTO the bathtub so that I can’t avoid putting stuff away in here when I want to bathe.

Slightly Past Me: CURSE YOU, PAST ME. I JUST WANT TO BATHE BUT I HAVE TO PUT ALL THE BATHROOM STUFF AWAY FIRST.

Current Me: (in the bath, having plowed through everything in about a half hour) …Okay, Past Me. You win. That was smart.

Talking to one of our dogs while we’re having a bath triggered some memories of pre-system discovery things that make so much more sense now.

Let me explain.

Valor very much enjoys stealing my towel while I’m bathing. He’ll dig around in it to make himself a little nest and then nap in the towel while I bathe.

So today I’m getting ready for a bath and I say “Oh boy, Valor! It’s time for your Favorite Thing!” referring to stealing my towel. But I know this is not actually his Favorite Thing. It is probably not even in his Top 5 Favorite Things. But because it’s something he definitely enjoys, I call it his Favorite Thing.

But that’s not what “favorite” means. A favorite implies a single thing that is liked more than all other things. People have favorite colors and movies and books and meals. And this struck me today. Examining my use of the word, I realized that I have always treated “favorite” in this way - as a way to describe something I “really really like” not necessarily more than all others. I’ve always had “multiple favorites” in just about every area of life. And I’ve always just written it off as an inability to be decisive or a quirk. Other people, at their worst, have described it as me being weak-willed, wishy-washy, or conviction-less.

But it’s none of those things.

It’s the fact that I’m plural. Of COURSE we’ve had multiple favorite movies for as long as we can remember. “The Care Bears Movie” has always been Madison’s favorite movie. That didn’t make Howl’s Moving Castle any less Aina’s favorite movie. Nor did Leigh developing an obsession with Frozen 2 make Aina’s favorite movie and less her favorite movie. But before we knew we were plural, it seemed and felt like we had multiple favorite movies. Or multiple favorite songs. Etc.

Now I’ve got thirty years of using “favorite” inaccurately to undo in myself. 🤣

A poetry anthology but the poems are written by different headmates in a DID System. Is that anything?

We made it. Barely. But we made it. The weekend won’t be long enough. But hopefully it’s enough to get us through another week.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

Today was one of the best days we’ve had in ages. We got chores done. Fen got to spent a lot of time with Maeve (her reborn), including setting up her new stroller! Our partner made a lovely lunch. We hung out with a new friend a little bit not long enough that we got over socialized. We got to watch tv with our partner - we’ve been getting through a season of Master Chef. The dogs have been very good. Fritzy was gifted a new dragon plush which meant a lot to him (he’s been having a tough time lately). We got a little high. We got back to a journal we haven’t used in ages that our QPP got for us that we’re using to work toward living more openly and authentically as a System. A big thunderstorm is rolling through right now and the dogs are just sleeping through it while an hbomberguy video plays softly in the background (it’s our go-to sleep video now).

It’s our birthday today. We turn 35. (Well, the body does. The majority of our headmates don’t really age right now. I don’t know if that will ever change.)

Birthdays are kind of complicated for us. We’re smooshed right up against Mother’s Day. That meant for a lot of our childhood, we were placed in situations with one of our major abusers. And as we have transitioned into adulthood, our inability to be a mother (parent in general) continues to be extremely painful for us. So it’s hard to feel celebratory on the day right after we have had so many conflicted emotions about celebrating and honoring our own mother and mourning the fact that we won’t ever be one ourselves.

But we’re going to try really hard to move past the weird feelings and celebrate ourselves this week. This WHOLE week. My planner is full of ways we can celebrate ourselves this week. And why it’s worth celebrating.

We’re gonna keep working on healing.

Because we deserve that.

Whoops, Tumblr Lockout

Heyo. If you were following @quiltedsystem, I got locked out of my account. Google deleted the email that the Tumblr was associated with, so the main blog and all the system's individual headmate's sideblogs have been lost to the ether. We're trying to rebuild here.

We'll still be going by Quill collectively, but our new system name is the Galactic Quilt System. Still has the quilted feel and that was important to us.

We'll have a sideblog list up soon.

Ello Ello, we are the Mountain cap collective, and this is our resource and talking about our system profile .

I’m not gonna go over all the  diagnosis because they are too numerous, but we will list some of the more important ones C-DID, ASD, ADHD, CPTSD,H-EDS, POTS, dyslexia and dyspraxia .

We are a RAMCOA survivor, we are not planning to talk in detail about it, but will plan to share basic information about RAMCOA and the basis of what we experienced . We are leftist, this is a safe space for all. This is not a page about blood liable and conspiracy, if you support that kind of shit, please leave the front door is wide open. We also don’t support narcissistic abuse (it’s called emotional or psychological abuse), we have low empathy ourselves because of the abuse we suffered&ASD, sooo Yeet!

Anyways, a quick get to know us!
