Collective Introduction
we're the clusterhug chronicles (formerly and sometimes still clusterhug system), a polygenic dissociative-disordered 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 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. other triggers are kept private.
we're polyam, queer, 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, other than queer and neurotic.
Relationships
we have a platonic partner system, the sinister system; an alterous joyfriend [irl], tes; a passionate-platonic joyfriend [irl], luci; a sibling system [irl], the sun ray system; and a sibkid [irl], si-fi; none of whom are active in the plural community and who we'll probably talk about frequently, along with other close friends.
Boundaries
call us a system or a collective (collective nouns), plural, median, or multiple (collective adjectives), and system members or headmates (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, and use tone tags whenever you feel they're needed.
Projects and Contact
we ask that all of our terms be linked back to our term carrd when possible. we created the neurodivergent indicators system, the headmate code, this plural ao3 collection, and a system and headmate character sheet.
our crabber is @clusterhug and our discord is clusterhug#8056!! please contact us before adding terms to dictionaries. we are also open to proofread pages, if that's needed.
