Shoutout to singlets that accept systems for who they are. Singlets who ask respectful questions and try to understand us. Singlets who do their best to accommodate different headmates and make them feel included. Singlets who listen to what systems have to say. You're so important. Please keep doing what you do.
I do not know Who is reblogging landscape photos for the people they think they match, but I can already tell my feed is going to be nothing but pictures of forests and Japan for the next seven days :|

There’s a chance our first fictive from a popular source will be Szeth son-son Vallano. Our only previous fictive is from a tiny tiny source so I need to get my feelings sorted out* before this presence I feel ends up becoming someone xP
*I just don’t know what it will be like to have a mainstream fictive, and uncertainty makes me anxious, of course I’ll treat any new headmates as well as possible
I cannot stress enough how freeing it is, as a system, to become chill with not knowing who you are.
There have been multi-week periods where we don’t know who we are, unsure if we’re somebody new or just one of the established people having a Weird Time. Usually it’s the latter.
We tend to front for extended periods of time (like, normally a minimum of three days, sometimes up to several months), and the confusing Unknown times can be just as long.
Like, I have no idea who the hell I am right now. I know a couple of people I’m not, and a few I might be, but that’s it. And that’s chill. I don’t need to know my name, I’m just sippin my cranberry juice and minding my own business. This is normal for us.
I see so many systems on here worried about somehow faking or fundamentally misunderstanding their experiences, because nobody else has talked about it, so it must not be real, right?
Just a reminder to systems with their own Weird Times: it’s ok to have experiences you’ve never seen in anyone else’s journey.
Being plural isn’t something easily categorized or broken down. If anything counts as wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey stuff, it’s the experience of being multiple entities in one brain.
Your plurality is inherently unique, and there is no mold it could possibly fit. Don’t try to make it fit.
being a closeted plural is like
catching myself typing with plural pronouns with people im not out to yet
i accidentally used a headmate's pk proxy in a server, mistaking it for a different server — and i had to thank the gods that the server did not have pk
oh no there's a DID system in a mutual server i hope they're chill with non-disordered systems (not like we can do much if they're not chill)
"is it possible to be casually plural?"
cant tell anyone cant tell anyone aaaa
get the Itch to tell this person. hesitates for 5 business days. ends up not telling them
the imposter syndrome
when old friends contact us and goes "how've you been?" and i only say that it's been "kind of wild" and i do not elaborate
will never ever tell anyone irl
the imposter syndrome 2: electric boogaloo
the fear of my friends somehow stumbling across our sysblog (why would they even tread plural spaces?? in tumblr, no less??) (idk but im scared)
I can’t get over how good of a depiction of plurality Haru is in the anime abridged show 50% Off. Like, it’s unique, but especially for a joke show it feels so reasonable and grounded, and is really non offensive imo?? There are some jokes about murdering people and one headmate tries to kill another at one point, but it’s not an “evil alter” trope, and the way the inner world, internal conversations, and power structures are set up feel so reasonable (I don’t know exactly how things are organized for my crew, communication is pretty ass at least with me, but if we don’t have a Council of Nine sort of thing I hope we get one someday for decision making and communication). The fact that they’re all copies of the same guy is not something I have experience with but is very very silly and not unreasonable either.
being a system is having one of your headmates say the wildest shit known to man and just going "WHAT." while turning around to look at nothing
this post is NOT for anti endos!!
[pt: this post is not for anti endos!!]
Not super active because plural communities intimidate me (the host, Jay) but trying to be more open so I don’t suppress things Again. No clue how my system formed, but I’m definitely endo supportive.
