Sometimes Being Plural Is Comforting Each Other During Our Hardest Moments,

[ID: "What if you wanted to go to heaven" meme that says: "What if you wanted to come out as plural, but anxiety said 'best I can do is jokes about being 30 birds in a trenchcoat'" /End ID]

plural culture is "ive been fronting for quite a while, i should probably take a break" (doesnt leave front for several more days)

.

yes i know they are absolutely amazing i love them so much already

leaned that we can basically shapshift in headspace if we want to.

of course i immediately used this new power to give myself massive wings

Introjection, the Highest Stage of Kinning

Being told we can't have "multiple personalities" by some chucklefuck who doesn't even have one.

Me: *hears that bottling up your emotions is bad* oh no! I will make sure I don't do that!

My brain (devious): *makes the bottle invisible and hides all evidence of unconscious bottling up*

Me: see, I'm not bottling up my emotions :) I just don't feel them very strongly and feel very detached from them :)

i dont like the term host,

i mean it is what i am, but i dont like the connotations connected to it. the idea that im the "real one" or that im in charge somehow.

or maybe it just makes me think of the word "parasite" when i hear it.

either way, i think i much prefer the using the term "pilot" to desctibe my place in the system.

i think that it describes what i actually do without the same negative connotations (and also our fronting room is a literal cockpit so it fits)

struggling with your identity?

try dissociation!!

dissociating from my identity worked great for the last 20 years.

i mean i am 6 people now but im sure thats completely unrelated.

Host: *plays cool game once* That was fun

Fictive from said game: Yeah it wa-

Host: AAAAH

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.
