Hello systems.... You're real.
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 :)
hang on let me check,
uhhhhhhhhh.....

i never asked to be plural, but i wouldnt change it for the world.
i cant imagine a better group of people to share my life with.
-(pilot)
our communication is pretty unreliable most of the time, but yesterday we had a full day of absolutely brilliant communication.
we spent the whole day playing fallout london together, laughing together, taking turns making dumb jokes, it was great.
the best bit was when we all went back and forth mocking the general in charge of the tommys (forgot his name but if youre playing it and have seen him you know who he is), it was amazing just all laughing together and feeling the happiness radiating from everyone else as we all brutaly roasted this moron. just pure joy.
i think that was our best system experience so far, i love being part of a system and hope our communication continues to improve like this.
Hii :) need some positivity rn, what are your best memories with your system?
yes absolutely,
we first discoved our system about 6 months ago, and yeh it seemed scary at first, but getting to know each other and learning to work together as a team has honestly been the best experience of our life.
i love how we all support each other in whatever we need, how we work together to better care for the system as a whole. i dont know what i would do without everyone else in here with me.
we love being plural and wouldnt trade it for the world.
question 15: Do you enjoy being a system?
(submitted by anon)
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.
Host: why do i feel so worn out right now?
Caretaker: its two o`clock in the morning
Host: im sure that unrelated.

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.
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.
