REBLOG IF YOU LOVE YOUR HEADMATES!!!!
Hey, wanna know the ultimate trick to help you explain alterhumanity?
Saying that you "identify" as something can be really, REALLY hard to grasp for a ton of people, so just use a different phrasing with the same meaning!
For example, if you're in a situation were you have to explain your identity to someone who's a bit less open minded, instead of saying
"I identify as a fox"
just say
"I see myself as a fox" or "I feel more like a fox instead of a human"
That has the exact same meaning, but is much easier to understand!
"Yeah, I just kinda see myself as a fox. When I see images of them I kinda go 'hey! That's me!', and doing things a fox would do makes me happy"
Boom. Your chances of being understood just went up by like 80
Hey other plurals! Remember, there is no one stopping you from holding your headmates' hands.
There is no one stopping you from hugging your headmates.
There is no one stopping you from kissing your headmates.
There is no one stopping you from other displays of physical intimacy with your headmates. Given everyone's boundaries are being followed, we would highly recommend doing so!
Not only is it good for your mental health, but it can be good for your physical health as well. Our body was tired earlier and someone fronted to give someone else a massage in the headspace - note person B is usually very restless - and she and the body were fully relaxed in minutes. We actually fell asleep because of it and woke up feeling fairly refreshed.
So yeah, give your headmates some probably much needed attention, I'm sure they'll appreciate it!
yall... some friends of mine lowkey hate furries and therians. but they're so great in all other aspects.... covering my ears and eyes with my paws rn.
Okay so who would want a youtube channel about plurality and systems but like- fun.
Not the usual:
"hurr durr, lookie here singlets i'm weeeeeeird. But look! I can make myself palatable for you while still making myself out to be a circus freak show exhibit! like my video pls pls follow me like my video LIKE MY VIDEO GIVE ME MOOOONNNNNEEEYYY"
or
"This is why if you are a system you should be suffering 24/7 and not ever be happy ever. By me, a system host who is a grade A asshole to my alters and definitely is not the reason why they all hate me and I haven't rEcOvErEd yet"
or
"Look at this I'm a normal neurotypical singlet and I am talking to this WEIRD FUCKING WEIRDO who is WEIRD!!"
or
"THIS PERSON IS A FAKER BECAUSE THEY'RE UNDER 18, USE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, HAVE DYED HAIR AND ARE AUTISTIC!! BULLY THEM OFF THE INTERNET MY LOYAL VIEWERS!!"
But like actual fun content!! Positive and entertaining, with some educational stuff sprinkled in. Plural people want to watch fun videos for them too!! We're think of things like this:
- Fun activities to do with headmates
- reacting to my headmates fanfics of my source
- plural adjacent media recommendations
But also some commentary and help vids
- plural news: a monthly look at the community
- systok and what's wrong with it
- etc.
Bc who doesn't like a bit of gossip ;3
Does anyone have any other ideas??? Oh and also tell us if you like the idea!!
Why not? I genuinely don’t see a reason why you cannot identify as a deer or transition into one (whether socially or physically)
I was looking for Otherkin videos on YouTube to avoid the drama of TikTok when I came across this video stating that “No, You Can’t Identify As A Deer (Trans-Species)” and all I can say is why not?
It is so close minded to believe that we simply do this for fun (I’m not invalidating funlinks).
A lot of us have species dysphoria and it’s a real struggle. We have to deal with people like you claiming that our identities that have existed longer than you’ve been alive are invalid.
I hate how the only way anti-kins can argue against transspecies individuals is by bringing up transgender individuals.
The prefix ‘trans’ is not specific to transgender experiences
-A trans transspecies individual
Here's to proxy systems!
A proxy system is defined as "where one functions as a singlet (or approximately close to one[...]) due to a frontstuck host, yet members of the system are [...] distinct in headspace" [via Pluralpedia].
Shoutout to proxy systems who:
Are median
Have OSDD-1A or P-DID
Live life as a singlet most of the time, or only tell close loved ones about their system
Also identify as specutien
Didn't initially know they were a proxy system due to lack of information in plural spaces
Thought their system might've been something else at first, such as a kin system, or thought that they were just a singlet
Please know you are so important to us! You deserve as much place in the plural community as anyone else! Did you know how amazing you are? Well, now you do! It's going to be ok, and you'll get through anything you might be facing right now.
We love you!
🖤💜💙💚💛
we are so ableist about smell. "oh youcant smell ? yea youre probably just sick or something it'll pass" "youmean youcant smell that awful smell ?? YOURE SO LUCKY I WISH ICOULDNT" "its not a disability not to be able to smell !!" "youre so lucky to not be able to smell" "wellll even if it is a disability youre still lucky" and so on cause icould go on forever. why say that to an anosmic ? it isnt fair, im disabled too, and im NOT lucky for not being able to live a normal life like a non disabled person.
Shoutout to all:
Arospec plural systems and headmates.
Arospec tulpas, daemons/daemians, soulbonds, thoughtforms, walk-ins and other headmate (-adjacent) beings.
Arospec otherkin, therians and fictionkin.
Arospec alterhumans with factbased identities.
Arospec archetropers.
Arospec otherhearteds or otherkith.
Arospec otherlinkers or copinglinkers.
Arospec godshards.
Arospec furries and furry lifestylers.
Arospec alterhumans whose alterhumanity comes from a disorder/disability.
Any and all arospec alterhumans!
If your arospec identity intersects with your alterhuman identity, that's cool as hell. If your arospec identity doesn't intersect with your alterhuman identity and you just so happen to be both, that's also cool. Have a wonderful week!
You're cool as fuck, keep on being you.
being plural is crazy because you do the most mundane shit and have a bunch of people making live commentary on it like they’re streamers making reaction content

do you ever feel like you're faking but in a 'this feels forced'/'these people are too unrealistic' way? e.g, you have a headmate who can speak a different language, but can't translate said language to you when asked? or because your brain is so exhausted from dissociating constantly, headmates personalities start to get weird and fuzzy and they say stuff they'd never do (to me, it feels like they're melting back into a singlet because my brain can't hold their personalities together)?
