Hot take purposefully creating dissociative barriers and making your plurality more "disordered" can be helpful and healthy. Recovery isn't the same for everyone and while some systems may need to recover by lowering barriers, for others it may be helpful to create them

We've always struggled with the stress of life being put all onto one person. The brain consistently forced one frontstuck host (or shell) to handle everything, but every time one person being forced to handle our traumatizing situation eventually caused us to split. We went through so many cycles of hosts splitting due to the sheer inability for us to live like this, but never having the problem fixed as the brain seemingly was too scared of not masking to actually use the coping mechanism it created for, well, coping

We have recently managed to start fully switching more, with higher amnesia barriers. We're still working on it, but so far it's been WONDERFUL!!! Instead of all the stress being plopped onto one person 24/7, it can be divided amongst us to make it easier to process and handle!!!!!

We actually feel like we can LIVE like this!!!

So, no, us purposefully creating higher dissociative barriers is not "anti-recovery." It is PRO-recovery. It is genuinely, really helping us. I'm so happy...

Idek if this counts as a quote but it happened over sp chat and is funny, so I'll send it in anyway

Welcome to SimplyPlural chess. I wonder who is winning; Typo and I (Layton) or Arle and Fremi.

all because of that Damn Phone 😔

Why are you alter/nonhuman wrong answers only

I watched PJ Masks and The Lion Guard religiously as a kid

[the-fermi-system]

which reminds me actually. you know whats a pain in the ass? the way one can be so inconsistent and have basically everything fluctuate because of plurality. its not that big of a deal after you figure it out (at least hasnt been for us), but before discovering it? oh jesus christ it is basically hell.

like constantly feeling like youre lying or literally being made to lie because lying is safer than telling the truth. getting seen as a liar when youre telling the complete, honest truth. ive gotten better with it, but for a good while, lying was pretty much second nature. not in that i was good at it, but that i barely thought about doing it. if i was expected to lie about everything or else be treated like a liar anyway, and only seen as honest if i lied well enough, why would i ever be honest? why would i care about being a liar? discovering plurality made all this inconsistency start to make sense - it was just fluctuations based on the alter.

i think this is one of the reasons fakeclaiming bugs me so much. i was called a liar for so much as a kid when i was being honest, and thats the whole premise of fakeclaiming isnt it? taking random people and saying no, youre lying about your entire life experience, actually. do you see how this is a shitty thing to do (in general, but especially) to systems.

like, heres a fun anecdote: my father mocks me for my fear of fungi. why? because he thinks im lying about it. he thinks i, at the ripe old age of like 8 years old, decided to tell this like and kept up with it for the rest of my life. just Because. i dont remember exactly why, but considering he complains about me being inconsistent and having a "selective" memory and says i "make things up and then forget about them", im sure i can guess.

so!

we started a collection of suspiciously pluralcoded alan walker lyrics for this post

(this song is the most plural imo. calling it now: if someone ever asks whether you know This Song Specifically they're basically offering their SimplyPlural details. it's the system equivalent of "do you know Girl in Red?" /hyperbole)

willfully misinterpreting song lyrics: plural edition

sharing this game our friends play: rb with songs that go harder if you're sharing a brain. think "hey there delilah" but for headmates instead of estranged dads

It doesn’t matter if you have a disability, or even just your human body doesn’t match up with your other one

You can be a hawk with glasses

You can be a hare with hearing aids

You can be a dog with bad smell (I’m this one)

You can be a cheetah in a wheelchair

You can be a snow leopard who can’t stand the cold

You can be a desert scorpion that can’t stand the heat

You can be a bee with pollen allergies

You can be an anteater with a fear of bugs

You can be a moth that doesn’t like lights

It doesn’t matter what you identify as, you’re valid

GRAHHH I LOVE FACTIVES (airhorn sounds) THEY'RE JUST AS VALID AND IMPORTANT AS FICTIVES (wolves howling) YES EVEN "PROBLEMATIC" ONES, YOUR SOURCE'S ACTIONS DON'T DEFINE YOUR VALUE (electric guitar shredding) OUR HEARTS AND MINDS ARE ARCHIVES OF PEOPLE WHO LEAVE A LASTING IMPACT ON OUR LIVES (several explosions) YOU ARE NOT STEALING ANYONE'S IDENTITY WITH YOUR MERE EXISTENCE (motorcycle revving)

Actually can plural egg cracking (memes or otherwise) become a thing. It might seem obvious to YOU that emotions don't normally have gender identities and gender fluidity doesn't normally give you different hobbies per gender but nobody bothered to tell ME until I was already knee deep in this shit

System origin of the day ; Cyclogenic

Cyclogenic is a system who periodically collapses into fragments, which are shuffled and reformed into a new system. This pattern can be experienced by the entire system, certain subsystems, or individual headmates.

It is a spontaneous / endogenic origin.

median culture is "yeah I'm one of those guys idk, but anyway, why would I work that out when I could be doing [interest]!!!"

FERMI!? LIKE ENRICO FERMI!? THE SCIENTIST!? FERMIUM!?💥

More like Fermi as in the paradox... which is named after Enrico Fermi anyway, so I guess in a way we're named after him by proxy
