Various switching symbols. IDK if these are suitable for emotes, I made them with comm cards and simply plural in mind :) you're free to use them wherever and however best suits you. no credit needed, edit however you want.

friendly reminder that sharing your plural experiences is invaluable

even if people judge you and fakeclaim you, a new or struggling system might see your posts and have an entire world of possibilities open up to them that they never thought of before. it could forever change their lives for the better. and i think that’s what’s most important

Important note for minors about coming out as plural: do not trust conservative parents or caregivers

With the Trump administration returning has come a renewed surge of bigotry around the country. Right wing media is being used to indoctrinate people into a fascist hate cult.

If you are a plural minor considering coming out to parents, think long and hard about if it's safe to do so. As a minor, much of your life is going to be controlled by your parents. If they want to, they can limit social media access and take away your ability to communicate with other systems. They can force you into therapy against your will with the express goal of getting rid of your headmates. Parents even have the right to physically assault you as punishment.

While plurality is not part of the mainstream conversation yet, there is a chance that it will be soon with so much ongoing research into it. Some of which is likely to make mainstream news at some point. And there is a real possibility that when this happens, conservatives who don't know plurality exists today will flip on a dime the moment their media sources decide it's a problem.

Even if plurality doesn't become visible to mainstream conservatives, their minds have been poisoned against enough related phenomena that it can still be extremely dangerous to come out to them. Most conservative Christians believe in a real spiritual warfare, seeing conservative Christians like themselves as warriors against the forces of the devil. If you experience any sort of spiritual plurality, it is very likely that they will see you as being demonically possessed.

And with the rampant transphobia, even if you don't identify as transgender, systems with headmates with different genders from the body's AGAB are likely going to face the same discrimination from them.

You obviously know your parents better than I do. So if you're confident that you'll be safe coming out to them, then go for it!

But otherwise, I think it may be wise to wait a few years until they no longer have power over you. When the worst they could do is cut you out of their lives.

Additionally, it may be wise to take steps to prevent your parents from finding out.

If you think that your parents may look at your social media accounts, have accounts that are only for plural stuff that you only log into in private browsing modes, and don't share these accounts or their passwords with anyone.

Additionally, don't share too much personal information on the internet. Don't give people your real name or your address or anything they can use to find you and out you to your parents.

It has happened in the past that pluralphobic groups have tracked down and contacted the parents of minor systems, whose parents subsequently took away the system's social media access.

Above everything else, be safe!

I believe that the future is plural, but that future is still a ways off. And I want to make sure that young systems growing up today can live to reach that future.

being plural is crazy because you do the most mundane shit and have a bunch of people making live commentary on it like they’re streamers making reaction content

here's your daily reminder that no-one is entitled to any information about you, your system, or your system members; nor do you have to use any terms you don't want to no matter how popular they are ^-^

Idk if others relate. But alters all have a vibe™

Like a lot can factor into the vibe. Their gender, their role in the system, their personality.

But each of those factors make a vibe till the point you can tell who it is. Alot of times it's about eliminating first. Like "this is the vibe of a girl. Out with all the men"

Telling which alters is fronting is playing a subjective game of guess who.

[applesauce-collective]

”I want to know your headcount” “I want to know who’s fronting” so do I, get in line

people forget that systems won’t ever have the same experience. one system may be happy to be a system, that’s normal. one system may not be happy to be one, that’s normal too.

saying you’re not allowed to feel a certain way about your system, is very controlling.

you can be happy or unhappy about your situation. don’t let people tell you otherwise

When you want your alters to have their own space:

[applesauce-collective]

You don't have to be nice to people who fakeclaim you, by the way. You don't have to be patient, you don't have to be their teacher, you don't have to be soft, and you definitely don't have to apologize to the person who just slapped you across the face.

Yeah, a civil, polite response that educates the masses is nice, and at times needed if we're ever going to move forward.

But it's just that. It's nice.

Sometimes, some people need to be told to fuck off in order to learn. And if they don't, who cares? Why is it always the victims who get hold accountable for people's awfulness?

[applesauce-collective]

Happy new years!

Cheers to a plural future where every system can go by "we" without a single person batting an eye!

To fakeclaiming subreddits dying and getting banned!

To the end of serial killer alter stereotypes!

To the end of ableism!

Yknow it's a damn shame that a lot of anti-endos are always like "BEING A SYSTEM IS ABOUT PAIN AND SUFFERING AND AAAAOUUGHHHHHHH" cuz like I've never been happier to be a system. This shit's great, even the bad parts. I have my whole crew team in there and it really changed my relationship for the better (&4& FOR THE WINNNNNN)

“you can’t have alters without DID!”

“you can’t use a wheelchair if your legs work!”

“you can’t sneeze without covid!”

“you can’t cough without strep throat!”

“you can’t have trouble seeing unless your blind!”

do you hear yourself
