You ever hear someone say something and you're like "hmmm there's not enough evidence here to justify me bringing it up to them but damn does that sound plural"

[Lio] Seconding the above, but yes this sounds very plural. Some systems have members who are pretty separate but some can be connected or the same-but-different, simultaneously the same person but also individuals or at least different people sometimes (as is the case with median systems).

Ultimately though as others have said it’s up to you how you want to interpret it, there’s no pressure to see it as one thing or another. But as someone who used to think I was ‘just’ otherkin before we found out we were plural this experience you describe is really familiar to me. Except I was the ‘animal part’ and we didn’t realize I was a different person until my other half/brain twin went dormant in our teen years. (They’re back now though! And they’re also nonhuman but in a fae way rather than a beast/animal way)

Especially the memory experience. I remember very vividly in middle school being really wary of someone acting friendly to me, and growling and wanting to show my teeth, but then suddenly my twin (who wasn’t entirely separate from me then) remembered them from a time where I wasn’t around (so my memory was blurry) and was happy to see them because they’d gotten along when I wasn’t there.

Depending on who is fronting our phantom sensations change too. I’m a dragon so I’m very animal-like, but others are not.

Anyways, that’s all to give you our examples. I hope that Fassa feels better soon and can enjoy your new shoes. :) if you’re worried about her, though, you can try envisioning yourself inside your head and talking to her/reassuring her. It may not work if that’s not how you work, and that’s ok, but worth a try if you want to.

The more I talk about it the more it seems like how I experience being a therian is different than most people, but does anyone else’s the Kin just. Disappear??

Our dogs chewed up the dog shoes that Fassa (the dog brain) really liked and it’s just gone. No random barks in my mind, no channeling it instead of the human more, nothing. Completely gone. The human (Entity) is still a dog in a way that aligns with the experience of most therians but Fassa is just. Not here. And then I got new dog shoes hoping that would fix everything but I haven’t heard or felt her once??? It’s been 2 weeks now, I’m so confused

[lio] shoutout to the time I was like “ughh I’m so tired of masking I don’t want to go to this stupid event where I have to mask all night” and my partner was like “....I mean I guess you don’t have to” and I was like “no I can’t stop masking I just really hate it” and they were like “Idk like a lot of people have stopped you probably could take yours off if you really want to”

And I was like
