Tags
Q - It is the queue tag, although it is very rare that we actually end up using it. We typically just add things to queue without any signifier.
Upsetti Spaghetti - This is the tag that indicates the content of the post will be heavy in some manner.
Discourse - This tag was the previous Upsetti Spaghetti tag. However, as not all Upsetti Spaghetti posts are discourse related, it will no longer be in use going forward.
Fandom Subsection - This is the tag used for content related to fandoms.
Disabled Subsection - This is the tag used for content related to disability.
Queer Subsection - This is the tag used for content related to LGBTQ+ topics.
Syscourse Subsection - This is the tag used for content related to syscourse.
Misc Subsection - This is the tag used for any content that does not fit into the other subsections. This will include fandom content for fandoms I am not in that I reblogged because they were funny, and anything discourse related outside of syscourse.
Longform Post - For longform discussion-based posts that I have inserted my thoughts into.
Wowza That Is A Lot - This is the tag used for long fandom posts. In particular, ones that boarder on fanfiction.

Remember This For Later - This is the tag used on posts that I wish to locate later. Posts that are within this tag may get removed at a later date when I no longer need to recall them, so ensure you are not using my blog to save it.
This Is Stimmy - This is the tag for things that we found ‘stimmy’/wish to stim with in the future.
Groundinghelp - This is the tag for content we have saved in relation to grounding.
Mod [Name] [Pronouns] - This is the tag that indicates which alter made the post. It also provides their pronouns. Should the tag be “Mod ? [Pronouns]” it indicates that whoever made the post either did not know who was fronting or did not wish to share. You can use the name Griffin in this case.

About Me
(TLDR: DID system. Please refer to alters individually not collectively. 17. FTM. Australian.)
We have dissociative identity disorder. This is the first thing I bring up because a couple of things about it are relevant.
1. We are informally diagnosed by our psychologist, who is a trauma specialist specialising in complex cases. An informal diagnosis in our case means that our psychologist has assessed and determined we do have dissociative identity disorder and is treating us for it, but has not provided us with an on-record diagnosis. There are many reasons as to why the diagnosis is informal, feel free to enquire.
2. We have an overt presentation of DID and are working on unmasking to combat dissociation. An aspect of unmasking for us involves allowing each of us to individually express ourselves. We ask that you refer to us individually.
Those two were the most relevant aspects of bringing up our dissociative identity disorder. I do have some other I suppose fun(?) get to know us facts.
We specifically have complex-dissociative identity disorder (also known as polyfragmented-dissociative identity disorder, or C-DID/PF-DID).
We, I suppose you could say, offically discovered the disorder just over 2 years and 2 months ago as of the time of this post. However, there is also a self-insert fanfiction we found from when we were thirteen about us having dissociative identity disorder that was written by four alters we do in fact know exist.
We do not have a host. I do not know how to elaborate further on that, but we do not. Feel free to enquire if you are confused by that.
Beyond us having dissociative identity disorder, here is some other information about us.
We live in Australia.
We are 17.
We are a transgender man. Yes, all of us are a transgender man and we view the body as male. No, that does not mean that our individual gender identities are less valid. If you are confused by this feel free to enquire.
There is not much more I can say about us collectively, and I am going to spare individual introductions for seperate posts.
I suppose I will just end off by repeating what I have said a couple of times. If you have any questions, feel free to enquire. I am always happy to educate.

Boundaries
Refer to us with our individual names and pronouns. Please do not refer to us collectively. This is the biggest boundary we are putting in place. We are now using tumblr as a place to unmask to assist with some very severe dissociation we have been experiencing for months. This is very important.
The only time it is acceptable to refer to us collectively is if you do not know who was fronting. In this case, Griffin and he/him is acceptable. There is no other instance in which this is acceptable.
If you are referring to things multiple alters have contributed to, for example, please still refer to alters individually as you would if multiple seperate people had contributed to the post.
We understand that this is not particularly accessible. It is absolutely alright if you get it wrong, but please try. It will not be as difficult as it sounds, as most of us are likely to have specific niches we post in.
Treat introjects (fictives) just as you would everyone else. Introjects are not fictional characters, they are real people with real thoughts and feelings. It is never alright to dehumanize someone like that, especially not because of a symptom of their disorder. It is incredibly ableist. If you are genuinely trying not to do this and do not know how, feel free to send in an ask.
Do not interact with us if you are blocked. This includes screenshotting our posts to respond. If you are blocked and have read all of this, I highly doubt this will stop you, but I am explicitly stating it regardless due to one specific individual.
Aside from these two things, we do not have any particular boundaries that come to mind. I would add something like, “Do not be ableist to me for the manner in which I speak,” but people who do not care about being ableist are also unlikely to stop that in the face of a boundary. For a similar reason we will not be establishing a Do Not Interact.
