Sponge Headmate

A sponge headmate is a headmate within a system that tends to have other headmates fuse into them. This type of headmate is a sort of magnet for fusion. The sponge headmate component always absorbs the other component(s), although they might change. Sponge headmates are likely to be important to the system's function, like an officium, caretaker, gatekeeper, or host. Sponge headmates cannot be fusionflux, it must be a permanent fusion.
An example could be a caretaker that has been in the system for a long time, that has had headmates fuse into them often, but retain most of their identity and personality. 
==History==
The term was coined by the Timekeepers on September 27th, 2023 for their& officium and jack of all trades, Grell.
==Related terms==
Could be considered a kind of endurative.
Admirer may overlap, and reiterative and spawner may be considered antonyms.

Spontaneous

Spontaneous refers to systems that formed suddenly without a particular cause. This can happen in various ways, such as dissociation, or walk-ins.
Spontaneous is one of the four plural rings, and can be combined with other terms to describe mixed-origin systems.
== Variants ==
Spontadawn and Spontaneousdawn are terms for Sisasystems or other system groups whose origin is Spontaneous, who in other words formed suddenly with no particular cause.
Spontabased and Spontaneousbased are terms for systems, system member(s) and/or structures that were formed suddenly without a particular cause and/or for when spontaneity has affected the way the system exists, but it isn’t necessarily an origin. They use the -based suffix.
Spontaorma and Spontaneousorma describe a member formed spontaneously, without a particular cause. They use the -orma suffix.
== History ==
It was coined with created & adaptive labels by Emmengard in 2019.
Spontadawn & Spontaneousdawn were coined on Tumblr on March 16th, 2024 by Crystalized Cosmos/That Enby Zev
Spontabased/Spontaneousbased & Spontaorma/Spontaneousorma were added on February 3rd, 2025 by The Artemisius Collective.
== Related Terms ==
Spontaneous systems are distinguished from other types such as traumagenic or parogenic, as they don't necessarily have any trauma, and were not created deliberately or via thought-based means. Some spontaneously formed systems may also have spiritual origins as well, or had existed since birth.
== Flags ==
The flag's colors are associated with nature, as the creator, Grey Skies, states that some plants seem to spring up from out of nowhere.
Spontadawn colors based on Grey Skies' Spontaneous Origin flag following the -dawn template.

__NOTOC__
Spoons

Spoons are used in reference to spoon theoryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory, in which a person only has a small, limited amount of energy to use for daily activities. Both the available energy and the energy required to perform a task are measured in "spoons" (or spoonfuls). The metaphor aims to both communicate the limited amount of energy a person has at their disposal, and to make it easier to prioritize and distribute resources over required tasks. 
"Spoonie" refers to a person who uses the concept of spoons to describe their energy capacity. This may refer to physical, mental, or emotional energy, and is primarily used by people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and other impairments that limit the energy a person has at their disposal. 
In the context of plurality, certain system functions (such as switching, co-fronting, internal communication, or even fronting for certain headmates) may depend on available spoons or even have their own type of spoons associated with them.
A system, sisasystem, internal group, or headmate may share or have individual spoons in any configuration. 
==Related Terms==
A spoon generator is a headmate who generates spoons, and a spoon stealer is a headmate who drains them.
Switch spoons, cognitive load, and CPU Time all refer to function-specific spoons or similar concepts.

Sprout

A sprout is a headmate at the start of development. This may be in the form of a fragment slowly taking on more distinction, or a general feeling of a split coming on. 
The feeling of an impending split is also often described as feeling splitty. 
Partial split refers to the feeling that a split has begun, without a new member having formed yet. 
A sprout or partial split may become a fully fledged system member, or may end up fading again if the system employs grounding techniques or distances themselves from the source media. Whether headmate formation is still reversible at this stage depends on the system. Not all sprouts may be noticed before fully forming. 
==Variants==
For spiritual systems, silhouette may also describe be a potential walk-in that has not yet fully joined a system. 
For introjects, the term shapeling may be more fitting. Since the source character already has a defined outline, they may be more clearly distinct in the process of forming. 
==Related Terms==
A shapeling may be perceived as or mistaken for introject empathy.
A forming headmate may be considered a sprout until they have fully gained an identity, or they may be considered a seed as soon as their formation cannot be interrupted anymore. 
A partial split may be built into a fully fledged member.

Sproutsoul

Sproutsoul refers to a system member who looks like and/or acts like a teenager, but is not a teenager.
This can be for many reasons, such as, but not limited to, being in a median system, progression, age regression, or having a metaphor-based internal age instead of a development-based internal age. 
Sproutsouled members may find it more helpful to be treated as their body's age, or they may prefer being treated as their apparent age. It's recommended to ask them what their preferences are, as it may not always be obvious.

Standardized Identity Shift

Such a headmate may also be called an oblitive, and they may be considered to be both a post- and pre- introject simultaneously.

Stargazer Syndrome

Stargazer Syndrome is an informal term for the wistful fantasies a system member may have when considering their old life if they have exomemories from before they became part of the system. 
This largely deals with factives, fictives, and mostives, but could also apply to walk-ins, especially if any of them come from a source that is technologically or less advanced than the modern day.
== Term origins ==
The term is derived from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics"https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saison_6_de_Star_Trek_:_La_Nouvelle_G%C3%A9n%C3%A9ration#%C3%89pisode_4_:_Reliques wherein Captain Picard confides to Scotty that, despite now commanding the flagship of Starfleet, there are times where he misses his first command, the USS Stargazer, despite it being an incredibly inferior vessel from a technical standpoint.
"The first vessel that I served on as captain was called Stargazer. It was an overworked, underpowered vessel, always on the verge of flying apart at the seams. In every measurable sense, my Enterprise is far superior. But there are times when I would give almost anything... to command the Stargazer again."

Starmate

A starmate is a spiritual headmate who is believed to be a star taking the form of a headmate. They may come from outside of the system.
Starmates may be believed to be a star from the outerworld sky come to live in the system. Starmates may also be believed to come from another world's skies, skies that are within the innerworld, or other places entirely that are unrelated to skies.
A starmate is comparable to a godlet, however they are a star instead of a deity. Starmates may be deific in nature or ability, but feel a disconnect to deific terms.
Starmate and godlet/godshard are not mutually exclusive terms. A starmate may be a deity who is stellar in nature, and vice versa.

Stopover Switch

A stopover switch is a switch that needs to go through one or more intermediary headmates, who may be called a stopover(s). 
For example, if headmate A is fronting and headmate C wants to switch, it might first be necessary to switch from headmate A to headmate B, and then from headmate B to headmate C. 
This may be to any number of reasons, for example order effects or front requirements, or because two headmates are "two far apart" and one or several stopovers between them have to bridge the gap. 
Stopover switch may refer to the switch(es) to the stopover(s) or to the chain of switches from initial to final headmate. 
A system may get "stuck" on a stopover if two headmates are co-conscious or both interested in front and the stopover between them gets frontstuck in a stalemate between them. This may be referred to as the stopover, the front, or the system itself becoming stopover-stuck.
