i don't think i'll ever get used to that feeling of pure happiness when the people around me acknowledge my system/plural identity .. in a good way, of course.

it's just not the same as someone remembering things about you collectively. it tells me that i matter to those people enough for them to remember and recognize me as different people.

whether its "subtle" like how my partner tends to greet us by our specific name when we text them, or a friend being able to remember things a specific alter said/did as an individual. or more specific things, like the times our boyfriend/partner sys forgot for a second we aren't in separate bodies. and how he sends us random images near daily captioned "this is so (alter name)"

really, no matter how subtle it is, we do notice. and it makes us just as happy every single time. every little thing adds up and makes us feel happy and comfortable being "we" and not "i."

plural validation matters!! whether coming from a non-system or another plural, it all means a lot.

this has been sitting in my drafts for weeks, oops. i remembered it because another friend specifically wanted to show reffy something because they knew he’d appreciate it (they said “get the goober” lol) and it made us both really happy. so i wanted to add that.

At this point I'm just like

*sees exclusionist or fakeclaimer* get plural'd lol *creates another fanwork about plurality and spreads my lil plural paws over my fandoms*

... Sure, it's not a conventional method of dealing with hate, but it is so satisfying to know I will be reaching people these assholes don't even think to consider :3c You can rant and rave all you want, I'm over here introducing people to the full spectrum of plurality and teaching them all about systems and warning them in advance that you're full of nonsense before they've even heard of you >:3 and we're bonding over our blorbos as I do it

As a part of the new tumblr beta feature Communities, we've been approved for one of our very own - And I would love your help building this Fully Inclusive Plural Community with me! 💜

The infrastructure is still being developed, so there's some bugs and built in restrictions - We can only invite about 20 more people in right now, only main blogs, no sideblogs, sorry. This also means I'll be posting there from my main @afaintcloudyhaze :)

If you're interested in joining, please let me know in a reply to this post from your main blog. The only requirement is that you feel a connection to plurality and you want to contribute to the conversation about it.

Here’s some positivity for headmates who have been dormant!

For many headmates, re-emerging from dormancy can be a disorienting, confusing, or scary experience. Many headmates may discover that their system and circumstances have changed drastically while they were dormant. To every headmate who has resurfaced from dormancy, we want to uplift you and show you some support! So here’s to all the headmates who have been dormant in the past!

🌙 Shoutout to headmates who had been dormant for over a decade!

🪐 Shoutout to headmates who are struggling to readjust to life after dormancy!

⭐️ Shoutout to headmates who have missed out on major life events or things they had been looking forward to due to dormancy!

🚀 Shoutout to headmates who are having difficulties socializing and connecting with the rest of their system after their dormancy!

✨ Shoutout to headmates who can’t remember anything that happened to their system while they were dormant!

🔭 Shoutout to headmates who have emerged from dormancy only to find that their system or the world around them has changed drastically while they were gone!

💫 Shoutout to headmates who have resurfaced after being forced into dormancy by another headmate or an outside factor!

🛰 Shoutout to created headmates that went dormant for some time due to a member of their system forgetting about them or being unable to work with them!

🌟 Shoutout to headmates who feel lost and confused about their purpose in life and their system after their dormancy!

🛸 Shoutout to headmates who emerged from dormancy with no memories whatsoever, even if the rest of their system can remember them from before they went dormant!

Dormancy is a morally neutral occurrence and a natural, common phenomenon in many systems! It can absolutely be scary and challenging re-emerging from a dormancy, but if you or someone in your system is going through this, we want to remind you that you’re not alone and everything’s going to be okay! It’s not too late to enjoy the small things in life and try to figure out how you want to spend the time you have.

To every headmate who has resurfaced from dormancy, know that we see you, we understand your struggles, and we are wishing you a bright future filled with comfort and delight. Know that you are so loved, and you are allowed to exist as you are now - even if you don’t know much about yourself or feel lost about your future! Please do you best to take it easy, be gentle with yourself, and have a wonderful day!

Prompt #1,599

Character A writes fanfiction, often taking experiences from their own life as inspiration for what to write about. While reading the comments on their latest update, they happen to notice a trend... But what on earth is a system, and why are so many readers talking about how the main character sounds like one?

[kazanfamily]

Any other plural reality shifters out there? We didn't know whether to talk about it in this account, but we've been scrolling a lot of shifting posts lately, and just today we saw a mutual talk about how they accidentally shift.

I know there's certain things that are unique to being a plural shifter, such as wanting to shift to headspace, shifting to be yourself in source, etc. So if this applies to you, we'd like to discuss those experiences!

[plegg-culture-is]

plegg culture is having an imaginary friend when you’re 11 and then finding out about plurality four years later and still taking another year and a half to figure out that your imaginary friend was never quite imaginary

we feel like functional multiplicity in itself offers much better stress resistance than if we were a singlet person

[ID: a set of nine icons of Shuichi Saihara in front of the plural pride flag. The first features chibi Halloween art, the second and third feature works from the GraffArt collection (with the second showing Shuichi in a Santa hat), icons 4 through 7 feature pictures from the official anthology (with numbers 4, 5, and 6 all having mildly concerned expressions), the eighth is sketchy official art of him with a stern expression, and the ninth shows regular chibi art of him. / end ID]

Plural Shuichi icons! I... really like this headcanon of mine lol. But also I just like Shuichi in general. I really should write more plural Shuichi fics...

shoutout to my therapist who, upon me telling her i didn’t like the word alter, started referring to my headmates as “my homies.” like “any updates on your homies? have you heard from your homies at all this week” she’s the only true plural ally
