I’m trying to intentionally create a headmate, and I’m pretty sure I wanna do willomancy, but I don’t exactly know the differences between the three. What are they? And, do you have any tips for successful creation?
Pre-syscovery Anwyn had made the character Ciaraidh for my wip fantasy novel Idolatry of the Mask! We’re not sure who made the original design, but hēo wasn’t crazy about it, so we worked together on what changes hēo wanted and let me do the actual designing! Along the way, hēo had the idea to make Ciaraidh plural, so we thought it’d be interesting to see what we could cook up
So Ciaraidh’s the host in a pre-syscovery system, and she’s a very bubbly 420 (6 in humannage) years old in elven age (but bodily they’re all 2,240 years old in elven years (22 in human)). Cian is 980 (14), and he both denies being a system, but also tries to repress it because of how ashamed he feels with Ciaraidh’s actions he thinks is his own. Branwen is the body’s age, and they’re rather shy so they don’t really front at all except when alone
Let us know if you have any questions, we’d be happy to answer them! ^^
«Veliuona»: (Version of post w/o þ & ð at the end)
I’m still trying to put words to how switching is for our system so bear with me-
But it’s like “becoming” in a sense. Ðe physical body holds ðe active memories of ðe host of ðe physical world, but headmates can change behaviour & being. It’s almost like putting on a mask, except ðe mask is a headmate. Ðe host (me) can move to cofront where ðe mask influences raðer ðan changes
It’s a bit difficult to understand personally, especially because we’re not fully plural (more mediple, but often shifts to being more mono)
Idk if ðis even describes correctly what we experience 😩 What is switching like for you guys?

Edit: Forgot to add; but when someone else is fronting I don’t really feel like I’m at co-front. I feel like I am the fronting headmate & who I was is someone else
[we use þ & ð in place of th- a regular version of the text will be at the bottom]
Edit: Forgot to add, we are bodily 26!!
«Veliuona & Anwyn» So we had our syscovery yesterday! (о´∀`о) We felt it appropriate to do an official intro for us. We’re a mediple system we’re dubbing The Shifting Grove
So ðere’s me ðe current host, Veliuona. I’m still trying to get a grasp on when I appeared, but I’m pretty sure I was around when ðe body was 6? I was co-con until roughly 19. I use it/its, ae/aer, hēo/hie/hire (and he/him, but its not really preferred)
Ðen ðere’s Anwyn, who’s currently cofronting! I usually don’t cofront because I’m pretty shy (´**；ω；**`) I’m also an age regressor, so when I’m in ðat space I really only prefer to be in front when I’m around oðer regressors. I use hēo/hie/hie and ae/aer pronouns, but most prefer hēo. I’ve been around ðe longest, so I guess I’m ðe original host? Veliuona has been begging eiðer me or Coedwig to take over hosting again, but I really don’t want to until we’re in a better environment ‘3’
And finally, ðere’s Coedwig, who uses it/its pronouns mostly, but also uses ae/aer, vamp/vamps, and vy/via/pyr/vis/vamis! It says it showed up in our teen years, but we wouldn’t be too surprised if it was just co-con. We’re still working out all ðat
We’ve kind of known for a good while ðat we’re plural, but we didn’t really want to believe it because our only known exposure to plural folk were fully multiple folks wiþ DID. Veliuona still has quite a bit of skepticism and doubts about us, buut I definitely understand us to be plural. I þink it fully hit me a few monþs ago
Oh, and while I’m here- if anyone’s looking for friends I’d love to make some, especially if you’re an age regressor as well! 🌸
But def more friends in general! We’re only friends wiþ one system currently and would love to connect wiþ more plural folk

I’m pretty positive ðat I’m plural but I’m not sure where to go from here. I’m considering exploring ðis more wiþ my þerapist, especially because I’m almost certain it could be OSDD ðat I have. I’ve never felt alone in my head even ðough it’s not like I’m usually communicating wiþ oðer parts of myself… ourself?
Well, for ðe past couple monþs I’ve been distinctly aware of two separate presences in my head- a 5 year old who frequently shifts in age up to young adulthood named Anwyn, and a teenager I nicknamed Coedwig (It hasn’t shared its name wiþ me yet)
I haven’t really engaged wiþ ðem much after I became aware of ðem, because I’m just not really sure what to do from here? Maybe it’s just a case of imposter syndrome, but I’ve been afraid to because what if I’m not actually plural? But it feels like a real possibility… I don’t know, what were y’alls start to your journey understanding yourself as plural like? Did you treat ðese different parts as separate people regardless, or did you wait for some sort of confirmation?
Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated, please!

I just came out as pan and wanted to make a personal flag for myself (but everyone is welcome to use it if ðey’d like to). Ðe coloured area is meant to resemble boþ an axe head, and a goat horn!
Ðe overall gradient of ðe colours represents ðe spectrum of binary and non binary genders ðat a pan person is attracted to
Ðe gradient of light to dark green represents co-existence wiþ nature, ðe playfulness of satyrs, freedom from social rules, and heavy attraction/lust
Ðe gradient of off-white to greyish green represents blinding rage for injustice faced by all queer folk, mourning ðose lost to said discrimination, a need to protect others, and building community
Black represents protection and peace in ðe void (negative space), in alliance with oðer multi-gendered sexualities

Hey everyone! So I love using Homestyler, but it is a bit limited as I can’t make circular buildings and perfectly symmetrical shapes like octagons are hard to make. Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative that isn’t terribly expensive?
Die, and rise,
Rise above for love,
For his one.
Her love of he,
For whom he guards wiþ great passion,
Breaks barriers.
Universe,
Sing to ðee of flames,
For Venus.
