For both documenting reasons and because I think headspaces as a whole are an interesting phenomenon, I shall share what the headspace looks like with you. Now obviously we can't just take photos in our head and send them to our physical body's phone, but I can find similar looking pictures on Pinterest just to give you an idea.

For some slight context: we're like 99% sure that the general layout of the headspace was influenced by a school camp we went on as a child. It has the same kind of look and it formed shortly after that camp. There's no weather or day night cycle, it's just always a comfortable temperature and cloudy. We go by real world time so if it's night in the real world, it's night in the headspace even if it doesn't look like it. We have had some days where the clouds have gotten darker, not exactly sure why. It seems to just fluctuate at random.

There is wildlife like birds and fish, but we've not seen any other bigger animals or things like bugs. There's no NPCs aside from Morpheus (Hyp and Zags son) who is obviously cared for by them and takes the form of a baby. Arguably Hypnos' blanket could be called an NPC because it's somewhat sentient in the fact it follows him around and moves by itself. But it's always attached to him, if Hypnos tells it to do something it obeys. So??? Kind of an NPC but also an extension of Hypnos???

Let's get started with the closest to the front:

The dorms

The main building we tend to hang around in, a long hall with several rooms attached that are bedrooms with built in closets and bathrooms for most of the alters. This area can be added to when needed, currently it's only one storey but we probably could add more if it was needed. One end of the hall has the 'front doors' which you step through to go into the front. The other end of the hall is the doors leading to the rest of the headspace. There's a common area that's like a lounge room in there too, with sofas and a TV, said TV acts as a window to the front. So if you're watching that TV it's basically being co-conscious.

There's a pinboard and whiteboard in there too, that we can add notes and reminders onto so everyone can be updated when needed. The walls in the hall are a pink-ish grey and the floor is carpeted with a dark grey. We think those colours may be a nod to our childhood bedroom.

I can't find any pictures that are similar to the hall and lounge, but I do have a few that are similar to what some of the alters bedrooms look like, so I can show that. There's also a spare room for alters who don't live in the dorms to crash in when they need to stay close to the front. Zachiera tends to come and go from here since he's a messenger and travels around the headspace all the time.

Zag and Hypnos

They share a room, because dating. Achilles also crashes with them a lot. There's also currently baby stuff in there because they have a whole child to care for. It's always dark in there, very quiet and cosy.

Dolly

Dolly is very girly and very vintage, typical teenage girl from the 50s kind of aesthetic. There's a feature wall with old fashioned floral wallpaper and the rest is white.

Cat and Luka

These two also share, and its very earth tones and band posters, they gave a bunch of instruments in there too

L

L has a cyber kind of look, it's very blue. He's got one hell of a computer set up in there as well. Tbh no idea what he even does on that computer. But it could probably run an entire space station.

Ahk

Ahk's room (and bathroom) is pretty fucking cool. It's like sleeping in a Royal tomb. He's got a ton of trinkets, all kinds of shiny treasures in there. And a very lavish vanity and jewellery collection. That's the pharaoh swag I guess.

There's more rooms (Damiens is kinda gothic and Aries is pretty all over the place with mixed styles) but I can't really find much that looks similar so we'll go to the last room in the dorms

The kitchen bar

Looks very similar to this, although the wood is darker. Jarrah I believe, maybe mahogany. A lot of grape imagery as well. I know why we have a bar style kitchen too, a relative had one growing up and we also lived in a vineyard, so that vintage wine cellar look has always been part of our childhood. You don't actually need to eat or drink in the headspace, it's more for fun and taste rather than sustenance. But the bar and fridge is always stocked and you can always tell when people have been drinking because you'll be chilling in the front and suddenly hear the classic drunk dad laugh from the men.

Zag, Achilles, Damien and Ahk frequent this area. Others come and go. The teens obviously don't drink, but they do hang in there when they grab snacks.

The library

Outside the dorms and across the field the headspace sits on, is this massive library. It's where Des and Prismo live. There's a main area where there's rows of bookshelves, and a back room where things we don't need to keep in our mind get stored. Each book is a memory/knowledge and where exactly it's placed determined who has that memory/knowledge. As you can imagine, no one but the gatekeeper and overseer can touch them. You can by all means hang out in the library, but you're not allowed to touch the memory books.

There's three other rooms that are attached to the library, a small bathroom, small kitchen and Prismo's room. Being overseer, Prismo can see the entire headspace and front at any time from his room. Through a series of screens on the wall. I can't leave the dorms, because host blockages. But I have seen what these areas look like from memory sharing with the others.

The treehouses

The main field where the buildings sit is surrounded by a dense Forrest and a fence to keep the Forrest and main area separated. But there is a dirt trail at the back that leads to a beach. Along that trail there's a set of two treehouses, one on top of the other. That's where Hiccup and Link live.

The beach

The beach is the furthest back in the headspace you can get, it's always foggy and the waters are warm and usually pretty calm. It's a cove surrounded by rocks and cliffs so you can't really wander beyond it. The sea seems to be endless, Aries our siren, has tried to swim out as far as they could and didn't see any other land.

That's the basics on what the headspace looks like, here's a few extra details:

•fairy garden outside the dorms, mostly poppies, marigolds, roses, bluebells and lavender. Called the fairy garden because it's decorated with fairy statues

•random ass patch of cement on the field, about the size of a basket hall court. We think it's influenced by the basketball court that was at the camp the headspace is based on. The teens use it to skate on and play ball sports.

•there's a building next to the library we haven't used in ages. It's empty at the moment, like an event hall type place. There's a stage and a big open floor you can pull chairs out onto. It used to be used for meetings before I was aware of the system. But now we just meet in the lounge. Not sure what we'll do with this area.

•the Forrest seems to be endless. We don't know what's out there and we don't care to know because it's so dense you'd probably get lost. We do have a theory that fragments and dormant alters lie their though, because sometimes when someone comes out of dormancy they'll wake up just outside the always locked gates.

•although once we heard a sheep. So maybe there's a sheep out there, or some kind of wildlife.

•fridges and bathrooms stock themselves, clothes and sheets are always clean. Unless you directly dirty them like if you were to swim in mud or some shit, then you have to wash it. Dishes are done via dishwasher.

•most buildings are brick, the treehouses are wood.

•electricity always works, water always runs.

•if there's something super specific you want like a particular book or clothes or something, you can ask Prismo to summon one for you. He can make almost anything appear into the headspace. But there's some limits and he can say no if it's too extravagant or stupid.

•Prismo can show up on any surface that's flat enough, so walls, ceilings, floors etc. mf is a jump scare master because he has no footsteps and will just show up behind you.

•we're pretty sure there's no way for alters to reproduce unless it was a very particular and magic-like situation with Zag and Hypnos creating Morpheus. So you can fuck and not get pregnant. Sickness also isn't a thing so nothing will be spread.

•sickness may not be a thing but chronic illness is. Alters can form with established health issues. Ahk and Cat have some pain and mobility issues in the headspace.

•periods unfortunately do exist in the headspace, but only one of us gets them and funny enough, it's not the only girl. She's too young.

•magic is somewhat a thing in the sense that if they're an introject of a character with powers or a non human alter like a siren or Angel or something, they do have their powers. But there's nothing outside of that that would be considered magic. Most things that seem magic is just headspace logic (like the fridges restocking themselves etc)

And yeah, that's a rundown of our headspace for you! Working on a map of it, so maybe I can post that when we've got it as accurate as we can. I'm still having some writers block, but I didn't want to leave you guys with absolutely nothing to read so I figured hey, let's infodump. Because headspaces can be cool sometimes.

That's all for now though, byeeee!!!
