Stomach: you haven't eaten anything.

Me: yeah, so?

Stomach: EAT SOMETHING

Me: YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!

WE LOVEEEE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS SO TOTALLY ASK US SOME OF THESE

PLURAL ASK GAME (30 questions)

Here’s my metaphor for systemhood that I tell my singlet friends.

Imagine you’re playing a first person video game. You have the controller, you control your character. It’s a normal first person game. You are an alter, the character is the body. This is fronting.

Other people live with you. Sometimes, they come into the room and sit and watch while you play. They sometimes try to guide you, give you advice on what to do next. They don’t always agree, and they can argue with each other. Other times they scream at you that you’re doing everything wrong and you suck at this game. This is co-consciousness.

Imagine how distracting it would be for people around you to tell you what to do, or to scream at each other or at you, even if they have good intentions. It wouldn’t be easy to focus on your game, would it?

Then sometimes, something happens in the game that prompts you to hand off the controller to someone else so they can play and you get a break. This is (some types of) switching. This can be good.

Other times, someone rips the controller out of your hand or fights you for it. This is (other types of) switching. And sometimes, six other players hook up their controllers, but there’s only one character to play as. So all of you have your controllers, but you’re all trying to play the same character. This is cofronting.

Imagine how difficult that would be. Imagine how hard it would be to try and play a game while someone is trying to take the controller from you, or while six other people are trying to play too.

There are also times that nobody is playing, or you can’t decide who should play. What’s happening to the character in the game? What are they doing if no one is playing? This is dissociation. The character is doing nothing. They’re stuck.

This is the best metaphor I have come up with for being a system. It’s something a lot of people get because they’ve played games before.

Racism in the plural community is a real problem. Racism in the medical community is a real, dangerous problem.

Pour one out for DID/OSDD systems of color that go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed because the psychiatric institution dismisses them.

Pour one out for all systems of color who feel isolated because the online community often conflates plurality with whiteness.

Pour one out for systems of color who get called racist or appropriative because their systems incorporate aspects of their own culture, but people automatically assume they must be white.

Pour one out for systems of color whose voices are silenced because of their ethnicity.

Uplift non-white systems. Talk to non-white systems, not over them.

˖*°࿐ DEFINITION : plural 4 plural is a term to describe a plural who prioritizes relationships with other plurals, whether that be romantic or platonic.

This term already exists! But the flag I found for it included radqueers and didn’t include platonic relationships … so I made a new one! (*'▽'*)

Requested by nobody! Self indulgent.

i think a lot of people in general forget to do stuff like this, it's normal to refer to someone by name and it's alright to acknowledge their source material (you can still enjoy their source or dislike their source without shoving it in their face every given second or chance you get). we've had a lot of people get super weird towards people because of who they are identifying with / as? i think unfortunately that's normal nowadays but come on... (if you read this reblog anyway, /nay)

factives, fictives, inhumans, etc. are all also obligated to be treated with love and respect like everyone else in your lives.

pro tips for interacting with introjects (factives, fictives, whatever i don't care)

treat them like their own people

literally talk to them like any other person

that's it. you did it.
