User:ClusterHug Chronicles

Pluralpedia Presence
We were once hyperfixated on Pluralpedia, and have only recently returned to editing. We focus on medical accuracy (on psychiatric pages), online history, and simple spelling and grammar checks. We're active in the Discord server sometimes, especially recently.

Collective Introduction
we're the clusterhug chronicles (formerly and sometimes still clusterhug system), a polygenic dissociative-disordered (specifically multiple personality disorder) system of over 300 members. we're introject-heavy and sometimes label as trauma-endo. we collectively go by metzi, eli, metzi, and all these other names. we're transmasculine genderqueer and use any pronouns but she!

we need trigger warnings for images of the joker, including fanart and cosplay, as well as discussion of the prevention of headmate formation (particularly introjects), system member death and resurrection, and intentionally preventing oneself from experiencing empathy and/or sympathy. other triggers are kept private.

we're polyam, queer, bisexual, and aroace. we're a bodily minor. we have ocd, gad, depression, and a few other medical labels that we'd prefer to keep mostly private. do not attempt to engage in discourse with us. we reclaim many derogatory and/or stigmatized words but won't use them often, with the exception of queer and neurotic.

Boundaries
call us a system or a collective (collective nouns), plural, median, or multiple (collective adjectives), and personalities, parts, or system members (individual nouns; some members may specify otherwise). don't use feminine terms for us and don't call us an enby, unless individual members ask you to for them. don't use you& or y'all for us; we prefer you or you guys. please avoid calling us valid. we're usually fine with tone tags, but don't overuse /g or /gen. don't talk to us about sexual things unless we know you personally (and irl) and we're around the same age (both bodily and mentally).
