In Stars and Time fictive culture is realising that you suddenly have all the information you could ever want about stars and constellations and excitedly going outside to stargaze,
only to also discover light pollution exists now.

this is actually how i started questioning whether or not im plural,
got what i thought where intrusive thoughts so i just internally yelled "oh shut up", and they yelled back and now here we are.
Questioning median culture is realising I've possibly been telling another facet to shut up for years just thinking they were anxiety thoughts and feeling bad about it?

about a month ago when i started to question if i was a part of a system i was really panicing about it and i remember thinking to myself "i could still repress this"
i know it probably wouldnt have worked, but even so im glad i didnt. im so very glad i didnt.
as weird and as difficult as plurality can be i like the others in here with me, i like the conversations we have and how we work together as team. i like being a part of a system.
the future is plural and so are we!
yes absolutely,
we first discoved our system about 6 months ago, and yeh it seemed scary at first, but getting to know each other and learning to work together as a team has honestly been the best experience of our life.
i love how we all support each other in whatever we need, how we work together to better care for the system as a whole. i dont know what i would do without everyone else in here with me.
we love being plural and wouldnt trade it for the world.
question 15: Do you enjoy being a system?

constantly fronting host culture is here pal!! I made you a bracelet with your name on it! yeah, I know you're not gonna front, yeah I know you won't be able to wear it yourself, yeah I know I'll be talking for you and that's the closest you're comfortable getting to fronting, but I made you this bracelet anyways!! So that you can feel loved and welcome and recognized!!!

Presenting, my life for the past 6 years
Randomly questioning whether you might legitimately be traumagenic because you most certainly have childhood trauma, but not knowing whether that trauma is why you're a system or not O.O
why is it so fucking hard for people to conceptualize the human mind making multiple player characters?
You're telling me that there are whole ecosystems of microcritters that make up "me" in my body on my skin, but when the organ that hallucinates on a regular basis makes another copy of sentience it's impossible?? Where's the people studying the ecosystems of the brain?? Why tf are we gatekeeping sentience??
really sucks how i cant be honest with my doctor for fear of losing access to transition healthcare.
like i could use a therapist to help work through the realisation that im probably plural but then they would add it to my medical records and i just cant take the risk of that.
ive heard of people being denied trans heathcare because of depression (which is like denying an appendectomy cos of stomach pain), a DID or OSDD diagnosis would almost certainly be used as an excuse.
