GARNET - If they had to kill someone, what method would they choose?

OOO OKAY.,,, I can work with this

Absynth : Probably the good ol’ Soul Suck™️. Drain them of their energy until theirs nothing left. Definitely a Gods work no doubt.

Cassius : I don’t talk about this guy that often BUT I SHOULD… that being said, he would probably strangle someone. Tho he never would- not even imagine it. Hes a huge pacifist

Charles : Notably Suffocation and Knife. Thats what he did BEFORE (dun dun dun)

Donny : Another lesser talked about oc, but me thinks it would have sumthing to do with his claws.

Emoc : oh 110% strangulation. Probably homoerotic to him /j/

Flip : Truth be told, despite being an infernal god, I don’t think he’d kill people. That being said,,, probably something similar to Absynth

Jakk : Energy suckin like Absynth. He does it on the reg accidentally

Dorien : Om nom nom, tasty person (wont elaborate)

Melissa : I do not think she could kill someone even if she imagined it. Maybe poisoning? If she tried she’d feel guilty

Chastity : Stabby stabby. Probably.

Rodger : VIOLENCE. Beating someone

Samuel : Shooty shooty pewpew

Zander : He likes to switch methods, so theres no one set way he would kill someone

Something I've noticed a lot recently is that I've become remarkably good at intrapersonal skills. I'm not perfect, of course, but I have enough judgement of them to say I can be proud of my intrapersonal skills – things such as time management, confidence, open-mindedness, perseverance, ability to handle problems maturely, and recognizing why I may be feeling like shit, just as some examples.

I don't say all this to brag. Rather, I say this because my theory is that I became so good at intrapersonal skills due to my plurality. Or, rather, due to exploring and seeking to understand my plurality.

First, we had to learn the basics of working as a system. Learning to listen to each other (both figuratively and literally) and how to handle conflicts translated to learning how to listen to our needs and handle setbacks without us even realizing it. Then, as we began unraveling exactly how best to live as a system, we began to see each other as a support system (pun not intended), which gave us the confidence and safety net we needed to try new things, handle larger problems, and figure out who we are and what we want in life.

This self-discovery peaked when we finally found the source of a lot of background stress that had been building up for years, and identified how to treat it. It was a breakthrough, and we became much more aware of exactly where our limits were, how to help each other, and – through our improved self-image and mood – that we could make a future for ourselves. Mix that with some life lessons we've learned over the years, and somehow we seem to have more confidence and maturity than a lot of the people around us, even when we're at the same age and stage in life. (And yet, it often feels as though we've only just caught up, having been held back for so long due to ignorance about how to help ourselves.)

We're still learning about ourselves. I don't think there will be a day on this earth that we're not going through more discoveries, or a day where we can sit back and say there's nothing more for us to do. But I'm really, really proud of how far we've come.

This also makes me excited about plurality in general. I mean, look at that!! Intrapersonal skills are extremely useful things in day-to-day life, and we stumbled into them just by learning to work as a system?? Plurality is so cool!!

Ahaha, I'm done now. Thank you for reading.

I'm seeing JSRL using opportunity to promote his dogshit radio website to people cuz of the JSR soundtracks getting taken off of Spotify.

Guys please don't use the Jet Set Radio Live website and just use YouTube or find a download for it for fucks sake, we've been over this.

The site itself is run by a bigoted conspiracy theorist who RTs fictional CP and compared the death of a black person to Coin’s death you don’t wanna be supporting this guy

🖤 BLACK HEART — has your oc killed or seriously wounded anyone before? have they broken someone's heart and/or broken someone's trust?

BESTIE…. YOU HAD TO DO IT TO ME… Some of them I won’t reveal in full bc I want you to get a special lore experience /silly/

Emoc : You’d assume he’s got at least one body under his belt BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG! He’s never had to or really wanted to kill someone. I think he would, but the circumstances would be very specific. However, with Alec, he definitely broke his heart. Like 110%.

Samuel : Head in hands,,, so it begins- Yes! He has killed before. Multiple times, actually, BUT I WONT GET INTO IT… Never broken hearts or anything otherwise.

Charles : Yep! He’s killed before too, but Id have to go over the story™️ that lead to what happened. He also hasn’t broken any hearts

Rodger : Probably the one oc with the most bodies, but like charles, I would have to go over the events that led to him doing so iykwim? You’d never even assume he had killed anyone- He just really turned his life around (particularly for his son Kaz). Never broken hearts, only mended them /hj/.

Igor : Ive been avoiding talking about Igor bc he isn’t particularly my favorite, but he’s another one of those ocs that you would think he’s killed, but no. He doesn’t date or anything, so hes never had an opportunity to break a heart.

Zander : You already know this but… yea, ofc he has. He’s got lore behind each one bc he doesn’t exactly kill to kill, if that makes sense? It’s his twisted view on protection. Never broken hearts either tho

I’m not going to say many more, but….. u can ask for anyone specific if ur curious

It's so annoying when pain from a mild injury won't leave you alone. Like, yes, body, I am aware there is Damage there. I'm already resting to heal it. I don't need more signals telling me about the Damage. You can stop spamming my brain with instant messages about it now

[zer08eat]

Don’t expect any new character mods for BRC in a long while cuz I’ve pretty much lost hope for this community, I tried my best and most of my work now just feels like a waste of time, because people who I originally thought were my friends turned their back on me and someone I stood up for, you can all go dig your own graves for all I care, don’t be coming back to us for forgiveness, we will never forgive you.

Ah, okay, I see the confusion here.

While you draw a difference between proxying as in "speaking in place of another headmate on their behalf" and proxying as in the phenomenon of "bypassing the fronter", we (as a system, can't speak as a community) do not. Or more accurately, we use the word "proxy" much differently – typically, we use it to mean whatever sign-offs we have to show who is speaking, in a similar manner to how PluralKit uses proxies. To us, there was no difference between these two forms of "proxying", since we saw a "proxy" much in the same way someone might see a fronting indicator; it was/is simply whatever you use to speak as yourself.

Moreover, even with the definition of proxying that you've given, we would still draw a difference between proxying in general and proxying for a headmate who is not fronting, as due to us having many headmates co-fronting at all times, we can find ourselves proxying even for fronting headmates – hence our specification of "co-con proxying". (I don't mean this as a refute of your definition, tbc, just adding it to explain our confusion.)

Thank you for elaborating. With this new insight, I would like to second @moonpool-system's suggestion of "control bypassing", as that seems like it would make the most sense and be the clearest name for it, given what you've told us.

Holy crap Sophie thank you! We didn't have a good way of describing "proxy blanking". And it always gives a "wait, am I imagining this" feelings.

(Another bit of evidence that disordered and non-disordered systems can share experiences.)

😁

Proxy blanking is actually one of favorite types of experiences to ask questioning systems about. It's one of those things that nobody ever really talks about and doesn't have a name that I've been able to find in the community at large, so it's not something that people really could pick up from observing others.

So if I ask someone if they have that experience of the fronter's mind going blank while they nonfronter's thoughts flow into the keyboard, then it's something I hope will help them realize that what they're experiencing is real and that they're not alone.

I'm wondering about what term we should go with though.

I liked proxy blanking at first to describe it from the front's perspective since the fronter blanks out a bit, but I'm wondering if "proxy bypassing" would be a more descriptive term since it's bypassing the fronter's consciousness.
