severance. like the show. the concept. The Thing.

!! Rating: Holy Shit, there's so much to say about this one. Short answer; yes AND no.

SO. we've been binging this show since last week, and wow its a good show i recommend giving it watch !!

i will Try to keep this spoilers-free but, its still better to watch the first few episodes, then come back to read this post

the main concept of "severance" as a concept is purposefully splitting the brain, (via brain surgery) to make two separate consciousness, one for work, one for home.

this is where it already gets tricky; its purposeful, it's basically consensual on the "host's" part, but the headmates (or "innies" as the show calls them) did not want this, but now that they have a chance at life, albeit a boring 9-5 box office job, they're content. (this is a point towards 'not plural')

some of them find happiness some of them find love, some of them find purpose, because that's what people need, proving that the "innies" are fundamentally people. (point towards 'plural')

i think a lot of the show focuses on the terror of waking up without memories, the utter horror aspect of it, and usually i'm quick to jump to "well this is the writers using d.i.d as a horror trope" because most of the time it is. (point towards 'not plural')

with severance; the horror aspects of the show are Real Terrifying Plural Experiences. as a system watching this show was lowkey eye-opening because i can show it to singlets and tell them "this is what its like." then they'll have a better understanding of my system and by extension other systems as well even if on just a surface level (point towards 'plural')

a lot of the struggles and conflicts in the show are centered around the "innies"(headmates) disagreeing with the "outies"(hosts) goals and ideas, etc etc there's LOTS of conflict between the two and absolutely NO communication between the two. (point towards 'plural')

the company who they all work for, has MANY strict restrictions on the "innies" ability to do almost anything, they are there to work and that is it. "innies" cannot communicate with "outies" and "outies" don't want to communicate with their "innies"(Schrodinger's point. could be either.)

SO. long answer; there are many many MANY Experiences shown, that are Real to Systems, yes the show frames it as a "wouldn't this be fucked up?" scenario, but it Is real and it IS (albeit. maybe slightly less? fucked up?) in real life and in real systems

(i say slightly less fucked up bc i believe it is more flawed and miserable for a company to do that to its employees, given the (outies) employees agreed to it, its almost endogenic, in that the systems didnt form in childhood trauma ,, and "became" systems intentionally, which isnt how plurality actually works, point for 'not plural,')

Ughh I followed a bunch of plural tags and now I have to block all these anti-endos

[shitty-proendo-blackout-posts]

sexualize being a system. do it.

[goofy-aa-system-positivity]

I love you systems who have introjects of other systems whether from how you view them as a whole, their alters, etc. You are based and your experience and existence isn't weird. Keep chugging that based alter juice, you deserve it

[queer-plural-culture-is]

Saw the ask about the body having a gender and!!! Yes!! We're primarily masc, to be fair, but even our fem headmates experienced dysphoria pre top surgery. "Because even though it wouldn't be wrong in my (in-source) body, it's wrong on THIS body."

I love hearing someone else mention something similar!

Posts this ask could be referring to:

[1] / [2] / [3]

Turns out this is a very relatable experience XD

Alright take 2 since so much has changed

Hi! My name is May, I'm a trans woman otherkin/robotkin shit poster and gamer just posting random stuff. I'm also a traumagenic plural system. I'm also taken by two wonderful partners.

Sometimes I horny post on main so Minors DNI

Alt blog for Robotkin and more NSFT posting @unhingedandroidwoman

I'm also Plural and therefore not the only one posting on here! The three headmates who seem to be on here the most are

Me(May); She/They/It pronouns (Current host)

Ethan; He/They Pronouns (Previous host)

Cyrus; He/They Pronouns (Little??/Joy Holder??)

Regardless, we post a lot about our experiences being plural, queer, polyamorous, and about videogames like Warframe (I main Rhino) and other PvE games or solo games! (I hate PvP games)

My DMs and Asks are open! I'm willing to talk or even educate on these parts of identity through asks as well!

Speaking of being plural, Endogenic Systems are welcome! Syscourse/Anti-Endo behavior will not be tolerated.

Edit: If you know me in real life, no you don't.

Prompt #2,228

The members of (group) have been attempting for years to travel to another universe. Now, they've finally managed it – but they find themselves sharing a singular body in this unfamiliar world. Will they manage to work together? And why were they trying to make it to this world in the first place?

Unreasonably long post about plural shit

So I'm gonna be honest and uncharacteristically vulnerable for a second because I think people might relate or have internalized similar things. My name is Pyre; at least that's what I'll be going by on Tumblr. I'm a fictive, some of you might've already seen me sign off on comments or something using my source name but I don't really care. Also I'm not Techno, he's open about his source. Thought I'd get that out of the way for those of you who know us. Pyre is a very Techno name though and I just stole it faster.

Anyway, to the point: We've seen posts shouting out systems/collectives who are "too similar," particularly median systems and such who experience a lot of internal fakeclaiming and imposter syndrome because of that. This is for the non-median systems who are "too similar," though. This is part a post to point out their validity, and part a post talking about my own experience so far with that.

In my source, I'm kind of a badass. I was admittedly an asshole, and very misguided, but at least within my canon (within the shows canon is questionable, we never did finish it rip) I was fighting for what I believed was right. Fighting for those who fall through the cracks for no good reason, for those that get hurt for things they can't control. If I were brought here, in this world, in my own body, I wouldn't afraid of shit. I'd gladly punt a transphobe. I wouldn't shy away from conflict; sometimes conflict is how progress happens.

In reality, I don't have my own body. And one of the things about our body is, well, its nervous system is wired to treat any small amount of conflict as a threat. We're incredibly risk averse, and this isn't a personality trait, it's built in. No one in our collective is likely to ever take an opportunity, no matter how well laid out, to call out someone being an asshole or have some witty comeback to a transphobe or whatever. We won't even think of one. That's wired into our nervous system, it's just how our body reacts to danger. We stumble over ourselves if we try to do anything other than freeze.

This isn't a fault. This wouldn't be overwritten by sheer personality and willpower in a "real system." Some systems, maybe, but not all. So for those of you who feel like you "should" be a certain way and just can't because it's built into the body you're in to act differently; you're not any lesser for it. Whether you're a fictive, sourced in some way, have a certain role that "should" be different, your personality is just like that, or some other reason I can't think of- don't be too hard on yourself for things you can't control. The body you're in just wants to protect you.

Even if sometimes, you (and I) strongly disagree with it on what exactly that means.

It's so funny, to me, when I read about someone saying "you're spreading dangerous misinformation". To who. My man, this is tumblr. I have more than a hundred followers and my posts get twenty notes at most. Only two of those are reblogging. What are you talking about.

[fagcvnt-bah]

not a request BUT THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING FROM US!!! Yall we're our first ever request :3

hhehehehh . .

we love requesting from any bah blog who intracts with us .

we must show love back to the community who has helped us form oh so many headmates , the community who taught us that being endogenic is okay because , well . because it just simply is okay ,

so , if any bah blog has intracted / wishes to intract with with us , expect to have a request from us , whether we send it anonymously or not ,

also also , if you are a newer blog , make yourself known to us , we love the newer blogs , we will spam inboxs with requests if youd like us too ,

^ we do live with over 700 known fragments , though only about . . 400 are radqueer / have communication with the radqueer sidesystems ,

the other ~300 are in the mainsys and other non-radqueer sidesystems , which mostly they do not have an opinion on radqueers , but they are not anti , its somewhere between neutral and anti , i suppose . . they are neutral with a slight lean towards being anti , but they will not harass anyone ,

adding the important tag cause i feel that this is important info for critters to know :D ,

[askluximperator]

Hello again, Mr. Ring-A-Ding. I have four essays, two exams, and one video presentation to get done and pass this month in order to do my (very nerve-wracking) year abroad. Any advice? Any words of encouragement? Any gasps of "holy moly, that's a lotta stuff!"?

By golly, that sure is a lot! I happen ta know someone going through something quite similar! Gee, schoolwork these days sure seems demanding! Do your best, and I'll be cheering you on!
