The "i Just Feel Like Using 'we' Instead Of 'I'" To Plural Pipeline

My first comic hope you like it internet :)

host culture is being tired of people seeing you as the "real" one

.

being plural means a headmate pulling you into headspace to cuddle with you and help you go to sleep because of your& insomnia

being plural means smiling and laughing at a joke one of your headmates made, or having witty banter with them as you make a meal that you'll both be able to enjoy

being plural means a headmate going "its okay, you don't have to do this, i can do it" and you thanking them because yeah, you cant do that, and thats okay

being plural means thinking about your headmates when buying new clothes, or seeing a shirt or pair of pants for sale and going "they'd love that !!"

being plural means making one of your headmate's simplyplural profile, and spending lots of time perfecting it so that it fits them to a T

being plural means knowing you aren't alone

being plural means knowing that your headmates, your friends, your family, are always there for you

being plural means love.

THIS POST IS INCLUSIVE OF SYSTEMS OF ALL ORIGINS !!! DO NOT BRING SYSCOURSE ONTO THIS POST.

The nature of plurality is that most of the time the questions people get hung up on actually have really simple answers (e.g. "But what do I call them?" "Well, most systems have collective or system names you can use." "Oh."), but occasionally, what seems like the simplest question ever requires a 3k+ word essay to properly answer. And I know the person asking is just expecting a yes or no answer but in order to not feel like I'm giving them incomplete information I have to be like –

(amidst studies on both plurality and seemingly random topics alike) "So, the thing about disorders is that we talk about them as if they're tangible things set in stone, but they're technically just names for certain patterns of problems; the problems exist, but the ways that we categorize and understand them are –" *a theory on neural pathways falls and knocks me to the ground, causing a pile of papers on ableism in medical + health fields to also fall and bury me*

And I both love and hate it for this

Randomly questioning whether you might legitimately be traumagenic because you most certainly have childhood trauma, but not knowing whether that trauma is why you're a system or not O.O

You gotta be silly and whimsical and full of joy sometimes so baby systems know they have options. Remember: you, too, can be a random blogger of shitposts on the Internet, or an editor for nonhuman romance novels, or someone who carries a turtle down several blocks to release it into a small lake because otherwise it's going to keep trying to walk into the road. Just because you're a system doesn't mean you're locked into one strict way of life – and it definitely doesn't mean you're doomed to be miserable all the time, forever. Despite it all, we stay silly

well, we just came out to our mum as plural.

it seemed to go well, she seemed accepting of us. still very nervous of how shes going to act about all this tomorrow tho.

but honestly im really feeling exited to be able to use "we" and "us" without question and to proxy for everyone else in here openly.

it feels nice to be out.

I AM COMPLETELY MENTALY STABLE
