Question for systems/plural folx!

I am not a system or plural, but I have been considering we/our/us pronouns when talking about myself. I know this is something systems or plural folx may do, and I wanna double check if like,, thats ok for me to do? I haven't seen much about singles/singlets using we/us/our pronouns for themselves and I wanna double check? I feel like it's PROBABLY fine, but better to double check.

My reasoning for this is cuz of my ✨mental health✨. At this point I consider myself a Quilt of a human. It's not uncommon for me to feel like different people during the day (not in an alter way. idk how to explain it fully), and frequently when I'm having a breakdown or mental down, I feel like the person experiencing it altogether is not me. I also tend to have a very unstable understanding of who I am, my interests, my wants and needs etc, and to make it feel less like I have to squeeze everything into one box or person, sometimes it makes it much easier to think about these things and experiences as like, multiple parts or existences living in one body(I know theres some therapy shit about this). Using we/us/our pronouns in certain spaces makes it feel like I'm honoring that, and also works as a reminder that I don't have to like,, fit everything into one existence

[coquelicoq]

what i like especially about the pronouns in the goblin emperor is that this language doesn't just have the T-V distinction (aka informal vs. formal second-person pronouns, in this case 'thou' vs. 'you'), it also has informal and formal first-person pronouns. having BOTH of these distinctions in the same language lets you fine-tune your tone by mixing and matching. with only one axis of formality, when you use informal pronouns, are you being familiar in an intimate way, or in an insolent or dismissive way? when you use formal pronouns, are you being polite or standoffish? you can't tell just from the pronouns; there's ambiguity. but a language where you can use a formal first-person pronoun in the same sentence as an informal second-person pronoun allows you to distance yourself (via the formal first) while also being familiar (via the informal second), thereby achieving the conversational tenor known to linguists as Fuck Thee Specifically.

What is the Fresh Mikey au lore? 👀

KHFGJDSGFJSD yes an opportunity to talk about my guy.... I'm gonna be so real with you, the backstory to Party Host/Fresh Mikey is not at all solid gffdshfd I technically have an in-universe explanation for that (just to avoid needing to worry about it but), which is that 'Mikey' doesn't exactly remember what happened...

All you have to worry about is that a Kraang (or Kraang. stuff. idk what to call it.) kind of. possessed Mikey. but it's more complicated than what happened to Raph in the movie.

Something something Mikey's magic something the Kraang and Mikey's consciousnesses merged or something and now they're like. one thing. and not in the Kraang hive mind.

With the Kraang in there, the limits Mikey's body has for his magic is much higher, and he's able to do a lot more with it than he would've otherwise. The closest comparison to other characters I can think of for you guys to see what I'm getting at is Eddie and Venom, and Fresh Sans (obviously, he's the main inspo).

SO, using his magic and ability to travel through time and space, he goes to other universes/dimensions/timelines. He's not sure why exactly, but he has this instinct to get stronger. To be able to stand above everything else. And he has a very,,, interesting way of accomplishing that. (cough killing and eating other Kraang cough)

Experiences With Being Out as a System

So, our parents know we're a system. It's all good, they understand that when we suddenly speak like someone from London that it's just another guy taking the body for a spin real quick and that they don't need to question it too much.

The thing is... They don't know our names, or anything about us as individuals. We don't have enough open communication with them to actually discuss the inner-workings of the hundreds of little guys in our brain and who they are or what they like, but even if we did, it's not actually important to them. It almost seems like it's swept under the rug.

Our mother said that she doesn't get why she should have to know anyone else when we're all "us". We're all just a collective to her still, a bunch of bits that make up her child, even though she knows we're separate. Her child, the original, isn't here anymore. But the thing is.. some of us want to get to know her and the family individually. Even beyond just being seen as who we actually are, we want to be a part of it aside from being treated as someone who is gone. But it's not a thing they understand despite our explanations of what it means to us, even despite the fact they know the original is dormant and has been for years.

The most anyone in our family knows about us is our mother, and she only knows anyone with a voice similar to Sark as "the american one". She doesn't know that there's even multiple who sound similar to him.

Technically, we're out as a system. Effectively, though... We're still closeted. Though not really because we're staying in it, moreso that we left but it follows us around like a shield within our own household, but it's not shielding us. It's shielding them from us.

Our experience with talking to medical professionals has been hard because of this--sharing bits about ourselves has been scary. It's scarier to show them pictures of our nonhuman headmates and say "that one is me", but it's never actually been bad when we've mustered up the strength to do it. One of them looked at Mal and saw his horns and said he looks like a faun from Greek mythology. Even though he's not, a positive response like that was empowering. That same one said Filigree's hair was cool. Little acknowledgements about who you are when you've tried to be seen before is great.

With our IRL friends, we expected the situation to be similar to our parents. Swept under the rug like a taboo and given weird, uncomfortable looks when spoken about. But it's been completely different.

We get asked who is fronting, we get acknowledged as separate people, hell, we even felt comfortable telling them about our actual fictive identities and letting the ones who wanted to follow this blog (hey guys if you're reading this <3) get access to it. They acknowledge our nonhumanity and nonhuman parts, share things about our sources with us because it reminded them of us, etc. Sometimes, now, because we've been open about it, we get people actually ask "is x fronting" and we say yes and they say "I knew it".

That specific feeling of being recognised even when your outward appearance doesn't change is absolutely amazing. Little manerisms, little ways our voice sounds even when masking accents out in public, even the words we choose to use are tells toward who is actually controlling the body and they pick up on it--even things we might not recognise we even do. Sure, there's hundreds of people in here and people won't know every single one off by heart, but the ones who are out here often are being recognised and that, to me, is amazing and validating to all of us.

I guess the point here is me sharing our experiences, but also.... You will be able to find people who see you for you. You as a system, you as a nonhuman, you as a disabled person, you as a queer person--you'll be able to find your people. And you know, I hope you do soon--because the feeling of being known is great.

All of our pronouns put together :D

He/She/They/It/Hy/Clown/Glorp/Pink/Xe + any neos

Could other systems do this as well it'd be funny to see how many pronouns there'd be lol

My new spiderverse OC!

He's a horrific amalgamation of Spot and Miles from another universe - the result of Miles jumping into the super-collider to try to stop Spot from doing his thing. This ends in an unholy fusion of the two, in an endless mental war with each other as they share a body.

First off, they hate each other. Spot still wants to ruin Miles's life and probably fuck up the entire multiverse, and Miles wants to stop Spot - and just be a hero who helps everyone. They are glitchy as fuck, somewhat of an eldritch abomination.

They have both Spot's crazy dimension and space-hopping powers, and traditional spider powers like web slinging, super strength, spidey senses, etc. They also have a combined power in which sometimes their webs turn to spots (or webby spots that allow visual into another dimension but not travel) and vice versa.

He's very unpredictable. Sometimes he's more Spot, sometimes he's more Miles, sometimes he's a blurry mix of both, and sometimes they're both in control. He wants to be a hero. He wants to destroy himself. He wants to annihilate Peter's dimension. He doesn't know what he wants. But he has the intelligence of both of them and can be quite the formidable foe to those who cross him.

He's extremely nimble, and has a great sense of humor, and maybe one day they'll learn to get along and become one of the most powerful heroes in the multiverse. But for now, they're a Mess.

A few things about their design:

Their webs are black and inky.

They often have multiple limbs/heads, more often than regular Spot does. Usually their head(s) have two spiderman-esque spiral eyes, but sometimes they get the creepy One Spot thing.

Their tendril things often take the shape of spider legs but not always

Anyways, I think I'll be calling him Spotter :) (Spot + Spider ig)

(I thought about making him an amalgamation of Miles and Spot but decided that would be too sad even for me. This Peter is an adult probably quite similar to Peter B Parker)

(Edit: NVM I forgot I love angst. He's Miles now)

EDIT 2: He has an ask blog! @ask-spotter

IMPORTANT NEWS!!

THE VIKI SUBTITLES GIVE PANIC MODE MENG YAO A BRAIN CELL

"It was Xue Yang who killed them" (referring to the other corpses, as opposed to "Xue Yang killed him" referring solely to the captain) is a reasonable thing to say here! Nie Mingjue just saw him kill the captain and there's no getting around that, but clarifying that Xue Yang killed all the other guards matches (and bolsters!) the story Meng Yao tells in the throne room: that the captain let Xue Yang go and Meng Yao confronted him over that.

(My personal headcanon has always been that Meng Yao snapped and killed the captain in frustration after the captain's refusal to follow his orders resulted in Xue Yang's escape, so I feel validated by this development lol.)

If it's okay with you, could you write a drabble about the hypothetical aftermath of Amane getting attacked by Kotoko?

Welp thank you pal for making me absolutely insane with this request 👍 I ran through a few hypotheticals and realized I had to shift some things around since there were so many absolutely tragic outcomes. I worked something out but damn if it didn’t make me emotional to think about how uniquely rough Amane has it. Even making sure she's in a good place at the end, this got pretty serious, so warnings for child abuse and cult references. 

(So in canon, Kotoko goes in order and attacks Fuuta, but Kazui steps in. Then she attacks Mahiru while he’s distracted with his injuries. She’s about to attack Amane, but Mikoto gets in the way (my hc that he did it on purpose survives!). By the time they reach a draw, Kazui is back, and the two of them can prevent Kotoko from any further action against Amane. Sticking to this apparent system of three attacks and one rescue, I’m just shuffling around the injuries for this story. Fuuta’s attack went unnoticed, and he’s in the same state as canon Mahiru. Mikoto steps in before Kotoko can fight Mahiru, so Mappi’s the one who get out physically unscathed. While Mikoto checks on Mahiru, recovers himself, or discovers Fuuta, Kotoko is able to attack Amane next. Kazui comes to help, but not before she leaves Amane looking like canon Fuuta.)

Mahiru could practically feel her heart shatter into a million pieces when Amane finally cried in front of her. She hadn’t shed a single tear yesterday – it was the shock, Shidou said. Mahiru was skeptical. After all, she had been shocked, too, and cried plenty.

Amane woke as she came in with breakfast. She took a moment to survey herself, bandages peeking out from beneath her pajamas and an eyepatch securely over her right eye. As calmly as one might say “good morning,” she started to cry. Mahiru might have missed it, if Amane hadn’t wiped at her good eye with her sleeve.

“Oh, sweetheart…!” Mahiru rushed over to her. “It’s okay, I’m here.” She wanted nothing more than to wrap the girl in a secure embrace, but she remembered the mass of bandages that were around her chest. Shidou had mentioned broken ribs and bruises. It took everything in her not to cry along with Amane, at the thought.

“I can get you another ice pack, if you need. Or more medicine.” Her mind spun with ways to help with pain. Many of the first aid supplies had been used to keep Fuuta from the brink of death, but surely there were extras to spare for Amane. 

The girl just shook her head. 

She muttered, “I can’t… I…I’m going to be punished, I’m going to be punished…”

“No! You’re safe now.” Mahiru placed her hands gently on Amane’s arms. “Kotoko’s not coming back. We’re all watching over you. You’re safe. She’s not going to hurt you anymore.” 

“That’s not…” Amane pulled away. Her voice stayed level, despite hiccups interrupting her. A hand reached up to her eyepatch. “It’s this. It’s all of this. It’s sinful. I took it off last night, but he must have…” She started unwrapping it. “They’re going to punish me...” 

With a careful motion, Mahiru held it in place and took Amane’s hands into her own. She’d been picking up on the signs ever since they arrived here together, and a final wave of understanding washed over her. 

“I can’t let you do that.”

Amane’s expression twisted, though words came out far more frantic than fiery. “Let me go.” 

Mahiru didn’t. “I’m sorry. Amane, you need this treatment.”

“That is not your decision to make. That is not any human’s decision to make.”

Mahiru pressed her lips together. “I know. But I can’t watch as you… I can’t sit by again while someone…” She was careful not to apply any pressure, but she could no longer fight the urge to gather Amane up in her arms. “You don’t need to be afraid of those people, anymore.”

“I’m not afraid.” Amane hiccuped. “They love me, and I love them. I need to be good for them.”

“I love you, and I don’t want to see you in pain.”

“You just pity me because I’m young.”

“Why does your age matter? You are a lovely young woman – you are my friend – and I can’t bear to see you in pain.”

The two sat in silence for a moment. Mahiru doubted she would take that as an answer; Amane had refused to call any of the others her friend. At least she didn’t argue. In fact, it seemed she was leaning into the embrace a bit more. She sighed a shaky breath into Mahiru’s uniform.

“Listen, Amane. Can you do me a favor? I’m trying to be a good girl, too. To make up for something awful, I need to make sure you’re alright. Can you help me? Can we be good together?”

A long pause followed. Amane’s voice spoke up, ever so gently.

“I suppose I can consider it.” She added quickly, “for the sake of your redemption. Of course.”

“Of course.”

“Matthew Swift and the blue electric angels.” Love when referring to the entirety of your singular protagonist makes them sound like a band name

So my Dad, who regularly refuses to use them/them pronouns, would be on board with me using xe/xem/xyr neopronouns? What timeline is this?? I've often contemplated using them, but thought they'd be even less accepted... Colour me surprised. A win is a win ig??

That's certainly an... interesting stance. Never heard that one before!
