sometimes I doubt my plurality and think I'm just a faker but honestly I'm not surprised I am plural as well considering the shit I went through plus growing up in a doomsday cult. my own experiences are quite complex, and like I talk about it because I want other systems to know they shouldn't be scared or feel ashamed. it just sucks when people think they know me better than I do and try to fake claim me and that in result, messes with my own consciousness.
what i feel like is lacking from conversations about plurality is how genuinely, fundamentally cool it is to be plural. doesnt it fascinate you how our brains can create entirely new selves, inner worlds, inner structures to keep itself afloat? doesnt it make you so curious? especially with regards to atypical plural experiences. i dont hate people for having entire systems full of fragments or fictives or subsystems. in fact, i find it wonderful, a miracle of the mind. you have a complicated inner world with unique lore? incredible, how did that develop? your entire system is full of fictives from the same source? thats amazing, hows that going? your system has entire layers on itself, with several systems running in tandem? wow, thats fascinating, how did you know? you believe you came from different worlds? tell me about them. please, tell me more about yourselves. id love to hear it. i do not fear the potential of the human brain.
why is it so fucking hard for people to conceptualize the human mind making multiple player characters?
You're telling me that there are whole ecosystems of microcritters that make up "me" in my body on my skin, but when the organ that hallucinates on a regular basis makes another copy of sentience it's impossible?? Where's the people studying the ecosystems of the brain?? Why tf are we gatekeeping sentience??
constantly fronting host culture is here pal!! I made you a bracelet with your name on it! yeah, I know you're not gonna front, yeah I know you won't be able to wear it yourself, yeah I know I'll be talking for you and that's the closest you're comfortable getting to fronting, but I made you this bracelet anyways!! So that you can feel loved and welcome and recognized!!!
