About
Hi!
You can call me Mack! Or Michael, or Jack...I respond to many names! I'm going to talk about some of the things I find important, interesting, or helpful to know about me!
He/She pronouns fit me best! If they ever change on a case-by-case basis, I will let you know!
I identify as bigender, meaning (to me) that I feel connected to two genders/two gendered experiences, and they are equally important to understanding my presentation and identity! In my specific case, those two genders are male and female. Boygirl, manwoman, man, woman, and person are all terms I connect to, and you may use any of those for me. I'm also bisexual and aroace in some capacity!
I am also plural! I am a member of a traumagenic, median-ish system. Check my FAQ if that tidbit is confusing! You can find our individual introduction pages here.
I have quite a few conditions and neurodivergencies that, in a Western context, would place me into the 'disabled' category. I have undiagnosed heart problems (though it's likely something with my dysfunctional mitral valve combined with my General Anxiety Disorder) that causes palpitations and occasional arrhythmia. I also have an undiagnosed seizure disorder with a very weird set of triggers that I will not share here! That would be supremely stupid.
I'm also autistic, and I've been diagnosed with PTSD with psychotic features, as well as a few other things. I'm totally okay talking about them in a personal context, but I would appreciate not disclosing more in any context that may be deemed public.
I am ethnically Jewish, though not religiously, and I'm pretty distanced from many Jewish cultural practices. Meaning, in my area, I get all of the antisemetic comments and slurs in the book thrown at me, yet I still mispronounce yarmulke! (I will NEVER forget the day I pronounced it phonetically with my accent in front of my mother. She gave me a look that almost killed me!)
I have a lot of hobbies! Drawing and digital painting are among my most prevalent. Speaking of, my commissions are open, and are pay-what-you-want! Take a look, if you'd like!
I'm interested in a lot of media; my current favorites are FNaF: Security Breach, Skyrim, Pokemon, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Homestuck, Creepypasta, and Pathologic! I'm not super active in fandom communities, but I'm always down to talk to folks about these things!
If you have more questions about me, check my FAQ! It might have what you're looking for!
My Discord is Kafkaesque#0003! Feel free to add me if you want to chat!

Boundaries:
- Please don't ask us who is fronting at any time. If we feel like it, we'll reveal it to you!
- We're okay with people asking questions about specific members, or how many there are. Just do not expect this to be 100% accurate, as some of us are more private, and may want to avoid being mentioned directly.
- We love to get DMs, messages, pings, @s, notifications, spam-reblogs, and the like. It is nearly impossible to annoy me in this way. All I ask is that you speak to me at least once before adding me, and if you DM me, please do not immediately block me. Yes, I have had randos do that before. Shit's weird.
- I love talking about my plurality, my queerness, and my identity from a lens of personal experience. However, I cannot answer for an entire group, no matter how much I may try to give you the full scope of any issue I speak on. Please keep this in mind as we speak.
- I ask that I be given time to fully write out my thoughts in text conversations. Please do not comment on the time it takes for me to type a response, the length of said response, or the words I use unless it is a genuine accessibility issue.
- For terms I've coined, under my previous collective name (Fruit Salad System) and current name, I do not care who uses them. All I ask is that they are not used in a context that excludes any specific 'type' or origin of system. Anyone can use my terms, and that includes every endogenic system and every traumagenic system and everyone in between, thank you.
- To get this boundary out of the way: if you excuse, romanticize, sexualize, or otherwise promote or encourage pedophilic/incestuous/beastiophilic ships or relationships, no one here is going to want to be friends. I understand that plural relationships can have weird, blurry lines, especially intra-system relationships, and I don't give a shit about what consenting (bodily!) adults do behind closed doors. However, I am of the opinion that creating or supporting content involving adults being in relationships with minors, incestual relationships, or sentient beings paired with non-sentient beings such as animals, is harmful to both the people consuming it, and victims who have been on the other side of those acts. If you genuinely find incest/pedophilia/beastiophilia appealing, we are very uncomfortable interacting with you or being friends. Please leave us alone. Cannot believe we have to say this at all.
- On that note, we are very pro-kink and pro-consenting-adults-doing-whatever-they-want-in-appropriate-contexts. If you genuinely take issue with anything regarding consensual sex in any form outside of genuinely unhealthy power dynamics, I am not comfortable being friends. Leather daddies and kinksters literally helped build pride, and if you have a problem with them staying, you can kiss my ass.
- Please do not shittalk about kids or people who want kids in front of me. Unironically calling toddlers 'shit goblins' or anything along those lines is gross. Similarly, I find a lot of jokes directly making fun of victims of miscarriages/stillbirths to be really distasteful. I don't mind dark humor, but "retweet to give all ___ fans a miscarriage" is not a good joke.
- I dislike exclusionists and gatekeepers. I think they're bullies. If you feel the need to exclude others based on harmless differences, I don't like you, nor does anyone want you around.
