Resource sites!

These are some sites we use, they have symbols, templates, etc! Link list under cut

Emojis and Symbols!

emojicombos -> our go-to for finding symbols, you can upload you own combos too!

emojidb -> our go to for emojis we can't access on mobile

i2symbol -> symbols organised by category/type

coolsymbolsio -> symbol combinations organised by category/type

[plural-simply]

Addition to this, we use the invisible character [⠀] / Unicode U+2800 as well for an effect as if the main folder is open and showing subfolders (it is a larger character than a space) Image below!

These folders are made to look like you've opened the "Sub Systems" folder and can see the two sub folders.

The main folder uses a space [ ], and the subfolders use U+2800 [⠀]

Of course there are other "invisible characters" and all of them will be different sizes, so you can look for smaller or larger characters as well!

friendly reminder to everyone who uses simply plural that you can have no folder icon!

If you leave the "custom emoji' section blank, it shows a picture of a folder to the left of the text. But, if you put a regular old space in there, that section is actually blank!

It may not be the most significant thing, but it certainly looks much better imo

Just some thoughts on system organisation

I've seen a lot recently about whether or not systems have detailed knowledge of alters and inner world, or lack there off, and I'm of the firm belief if it works for you great!

I think for us noting and finding out as much information as possible on everyone possible was incredibly important. Novum had always needed that control, most aspects of the system he can't have it, but noting down things we know was one of them. Looking back even years ago when we were a small child, notebooks full of drawings of "ocs" or "imaginary friends" writing about what they looked like, ages, likes, dislikes so much detail

Novum spent a lot of time after system discovery translating as much of it that was relevant, while being incredibly observant about the alters fronting in order for us to have the insight we do, Gray continued this with organising the information to make it readable.

It allows them both to feel some resemblance of understanding and control over who and what is happening within ourselves. I fully believe that you do not need as much knowledge as we have to function well, similarly I gave no doubt we know very little in the grand scheme of things. Always something new coming up.

Still, I understand the comfort it brings, and I admire the work both of them put it into helping us heal to the point where this mostly possible, I hope our communication continues to develop, while most revelations aren't exactly nice, I'm excited to learn and to better out position further.

*I open the Simply Plural and I suddenly forget everything about the system and also lose every ounce of creativity and organisation skills*

[ambidextrousarcher]

Nearly ten days after the Pahalgam attack, watching the various responses to said attack...part of me is shocked, and another confused. Yet another thinks that something like this is inevitable.

Too many people reacted to what is undoubtedly a terrorist attack by channelling their rage and grief into persecuting innocent people because the terrorists asked those they killed to recite the kalma, undoubtedly being Islamic in their origin.

Yes, they were Muslim. Does that mean there should be violence against innocent Kashmiri students because 'Hindu khatre mein hain"? No. Do you know why? Because a large part of why such Islamic organisations sway local sympathies towards them is by the catchphrase "Islamiyat khatre mein hain." Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Why wouldn't it? We've heard an alternate religion version of it over TV channels and so-called "news" and "leaders of the free world" screaming Hindu khatre mein hain, khatre mein hain, after all.

So many of us believe it, too.

Why, some of us may ask, shouldn't we believe so? We are Hindus, and we aren't safe even in our own land, our own country. Perhaps we should look deeper into the 'why' of it. So much of violence against us is by ourselves, for daring to be different. Lynching, beating, far more for far too less. So what if someone eats meat? They aren't stopping you from living your life. Why should you put an end to theirs?

But, then, as people who hold power today ask, what about the invaders who invaded India 1000 years ago, 1200 years ago? People whose descendants divide the country today, covet its assets for themselves? Including Kashmir, the jewel of India?

To that is my answer: If that is what you believe, then we should all leave this land. Most of us, at least. None of us are indigenous to the land we live in, except perhaps the tribes in Sentinel island. Other than that, all of us, except for the populations that are tribal/adivasis, probably migrated from somewhere else, simply some time longer ago than 1200 years.

But then, argue some, what about religious texts that speak to tens and thousands of years of ancestry? The Mahabharata, the Itihasas, the Puranas?

In that case, well, might I remind you that Sanskrit is not the single sole classical language that speaks of thousands of years of history? There is the matter of at least one other culture and language that exists alongside. The Sangam literature too speaks of thousands of years. Three whole Sangams, might I mention.

Almost every single ancient culture claims grandiose descent. We do not know how much credence should be given to any of these claims, but, if we are giving credence to one claim, why leave the others behind? Give equal credence, why don't you?

Coming back to 1200 years of "slave mentality" and "coveting territory" I will be paraphrasing words written nearly a 100 years ago by a man who identified as Kashmiri, if not perhaps Hindu, though he rather did admire the title Pandit. He very famously preferred to be known for his scientific temper, possibly a reason why today's rulers loathe this man.

He said, and I paraphrase, that those rulers are not considered foreign rule because there was marital intermixing of races and blood relations, because whatever money was made was spent inside India, because it did not go to another country (Ghori and Ghazni aside, the temple was rebuilt within 50 years, though the 'collective trauma' was first heard of in the British parliament sometime in the 19th century)

People have a beautiful tendency to syncretise, to meld with each other, to form cultures of harmony. Look at each state of India, the cultural plurality (that a homogenous overarching 'desi' identity cannot and will not encapsulate, but this discussion is for another post) especially Kashmir. There is amazing cultural syncretism in their literature, art, architecture, even notions of Kashmiri identity.

There is a unity in diversity. When is this threatened? When a section of the population felt trampled on by the 'high-handed' handling of things (in their own words) by the 'elected' powers (there is widespread allegation of electoral rigging over the years in Kashmir)

In the '80's and '90's it comes in the form of 'Islamiyat khatre mein hain' because at that point, they felt they weren't given the opportunities they should by the Indian Government. There was liberal support from external organisations, and insurgency flourished. The Kashmiri Hindu exodus takes place in these decades, and there is an element of "Hindu khatre mein hain" which is fanned by the government. The following two to three passages are from a report by Human Rights Watch in 1992, during said exodus.

A number of Hindu refugees from Kashmir have subsequently denounced the government for encouraging them to leave under false pretenses. In a letter to the editor of Alsafa in October 1990, some 20 Pandit refugees alleged that: There can be no dispute about the fact the Kashmiri Pandit community was made a scapegoat by Jagmohan, some self-styled leaders of our community and other vested interests ... [T]he plan was to make the K.P.'s [Kashmiri Pandits] migrate from the valley so that the mass uprising against occupation forces could be painted as a communal flare up.... Some self-styled leaders of the Pandit community... begged the Pandits to migrate from the valley. We were told that our migration was very vital for preserving and protecting 'Dharm' [religious integrity] and the unity and the integrity of India. We were told that our migration would pave the way for realizing the dream of Akhand Bharat [undivided India].... We were made to believe that our migration was very important for Hinduism and for keeping India together.... We were fooled and we were more than willing to become fools.205

At the same time, it is clear that many Hindus were made the targets of threats and acts of violence by militant organizations and that this wave of killing and harassment motivated many to leave the valley. Such threats and violence constitute violations of the laws of war, and Asia Watch was able to document many specific cases. • On September 20, 1989, O.N. Sharma, a 47-year-old travel agent from Srinagar found a letter written in Urdu in his mailbox, signed by the JKLF. Sharma told Asia Watch that the letter was addressed to him by name and it referred to him as an "Indian dog." The letter told Sharma to leave the valley by September 27, or he and his family would be killed. At the time, Sharma was living with his wife, two children and his mother.

Again paraphrasing words written very soon after Indian independence. "Minority communities should feel secure in their rights as Indian citizens and that is the part of the majority to ensure. Communalism in all forms is the greatest danger to Indian sovereignty as a whole."

Even today, Kashmiri rights are not ensured. The Indian Army and militant/terrorist bodies have both behaved horribly with Kashmiri women over the years with multiple documented cases of rape still pending action (Human Rights Watch has multiple reports on such cases) and so...such boiling over feels inevitable, on some counts.

The Kashmiri people deserve a voice in their own fate.

Post Images!

Postimg cc(linked) is a great site to store images; we upload all of our profile pictures there!

You can create multiple "galleries" to hold different things; we have one for gifs, one for profile pictures, and one for decos!

Each upload provides you with a few ways to link/insert the file in different places!

Keep in mind at around 100 images in one gallery is when that gallery may start to have issues loading; nothing big, but images you have linked in places will load a bit slower!

We also recommend the browser extension Download all Images(linked)! As post images will ask you buy premium to download a whole gallery at once. With the extension you can download all images on a webpage and you can set different parameters for what does/doesn't get downloaded!

just some thoughts now yingdu has finished about cheng xiaoshi's parents.

thinking on how during the fire, cheng xiaoshi's mum confronts cheng weimin and says the fire was premeditated. but she also says it was planned by "them" (plural). I'd been considering the possibility that xia fei was involved in some capacity (and honestly that still can't be ruled out) but there being a specific group involved (and, huh, "involved" in the same way as vein asked cheng xiaoshi?) makes me think this is bigger than we thought. this was a decade ago so in theory none of our main players (vein, liu xiao) would be considered some great threat for shao yuanyuan to consider. could be organised crime, I guess? specifically, the xiang guy who liu xiao tracked down in yingdu ep 1. he had connections with the liu family, an interest in "superpowers", and clearly recognised the name "cheng weimin". still leaves many questions, but it's an option. and it'd mean that we don't spend season 3 with both liu xiao as the "main villain" and another organisation on top of that, if liu xiao has already taken this organisation out and moved in for the takeover.

the motives for the fire could also be a few different things. few possibilities off the top of my head:

obviously a lot of people want the book with the eye sign on that cheng weimin was keeping hold of (and wang qing/shao yuanyuan later hid)

the school being a place for people with powers also leaves the possibility that it was about taking out all the kids with powers before they could become threats (brutal, but the show did confirm a school full of kids burnt down so)

shao yuanyuan *thinks* it was premeditated (because there *is* a group after cwm) but in actuality it was linked to wang qing/xia fei snapping in some way as a result of bullying and it going terribly wrong

"it was the detective"/"and then there were none" - cheng weimin was forced in some way to set the fire by "them" or his family was at stake (sth sth mutual secret keeping), but helped xia fei and wang qing escape as "repentance" and faked his own death. (I hate that I'm writing this btw.)

(and the final option I'm shooting out here purely because it is *bold* if they pulled it off is that the "them" shao yuanyuan referred to is the same "them" that yingdu ep 3 was named after - xia fei and vein. again, I don't think it's super likely because of their respective ages and perceived threat at the time, but would be hilarious if it was right there in the title - similar to the "and then there were none" reference)

also! the fact that shao yuanyuan could simply refer to "them" and expect cwm to know exactly who was being referred to makes me wonder. it seems to imply that whatever group this was was known to them both. was cwm in hiding when he settled at the school? what's in that book that's so precious it took priority over his life?

cxs' mum also seeming to be in hiding in the "present" (both from her reactions during the wang qing possession and emphasis on "little time") combined with the way she'd gone non-contact with cheng xiaoshi for a decade. and, of course, "them".

and it's curious that cwm settled at a school for those with powers when it appears that it's cxs' mum with the powers not him. is this a case where they both had powers (and cxs just... inherited his mum's side?) or did cwm die and transfer the powers and book to her in one shot. would certainly add to the parallels with lu guang going back with cxs' powers.

(final thing and this admittedly could be down to the TL but when wang qing was saying about people answering her story the same way to cheng xiaoshi, she mentioned she'd "like him to meet [cwm]" which is... an odd thing to say about someone who is supposed to be dead. I mean, I guess it's in flux if he's in the process of being saved, but still, incredibly strange offer to make. and wang qing has told that forest fire story as part of her therapy sessions, so would she have asked cheng weimin back when he was still her teacher? I genuinely can't tell if I'm just overthinking things, but if there is yet another fake death going on here I am going to stab something.)

Just a reminder that:

> it’s okay to only have a couple info folders for each headmate in simply plural

> its okay to have lots of info saved in simply plural

> it’s okay to have a very organised simply plural

> it’s okay to not have a organised simply plural

> it’s okay to track every single switch

> it’s okay to not track any switches

> it’s okay to have a very public simply plural

> it’s okay to have a very private simply plural!

You’re still valid <3 simply plural can be very very overwhelming, you’re doing great! Remember to take a break from you screen! just take things slowly

Simply Plural Custom Fields (To Prioritise Functioning)

In our last post I discussed the pressure we felt to present our system a certain way, something I'm sure is prevalent in online spaces as well. So as part of undoing this belief system we've been redoing our simply plural.

In very few posts have we seen advice on sorting simply plural and custom fronts or profile layouts to prioritise communication and functioning. So here's the changes we've made, if anyone wants well share an example of a whole alter profilem

Main Things We've Added To Custom Fields:

More private sections, to detail roles and take related to it, triggers, fusion, dormancy and etc updates

A system to categorise general amnesia barriers between individual alters and everyone else (taken from the BASK structure of memories as seen in a post by @granulesofsand)

A section for wants and needs, to highlight anything that people need externally (mainly physical items)

A section for goals. These are three questions people answer as they want. We also added a "clearance" section to specify who can view this part

1. What are your goals for yourself?

2. What goals do you think the system should work towards?

3. What is something you think needs improvement?

Of course, you can do whatever kind of questions you need, but we found it a really helpful section

A section for coping skills, and any safety plans in place for the alter

Disorder Info, all of us have the same mental health issues but in this section it gives an opportunity to specify which aspect may affect someone the most/least to help specify what someone may need

Limiting what people can pick as an avatar. We had problems with people purposely changing them, or being uncomfortable with them as they tried to make them attractive to others especially our irls. To prevent this we've limited the picrews they can choose and are encouraging picking it like a pfp, with a section for alternative face claims (which can be anything they want) in cf

Example screenshots are below the cut!

Once we've organised our folder situation we plan to do a post on how were sorting that, and what custom fronts we create. I hope this is helpful to someone! Pleaseeee send asks related to it, or anything I'd love to answer questions

[narcissisticpdcultureis]

npd culture + did sys and autistic is constnatly looking at how you organised your simply plural, pluralkit, pinterest, system term documents, and pronouns.cc because it looks so nice and everyone should be complimenting me on it. im the best at organising (thank u autism).
