Swankid

undefined:

A swankid is a role relating to syskids and young headmates who have mature trauma, usually relating to sexual trauma and the like.

This is a more kid-friendly and non-suggestive alternative for littlex, in the case that a headmate/system isn’t comfortable with the term little for system children.

The swan represents a gentle reminder to the headmates experiences while also not revealing too much information, alluding to life-altering bonds formed in youth. Swans are generally seen as elegant and youthful, symbolizing innocence and childhood.

This is not meant to romanticize or glamourize the headmates trauma, but to make it feel as if it's not something gross or wrong with them.

History
Swankid was made on August 10th, 2023, coined by the Angel Blade Sidesystem, with the flag designed by Doelike.
