Some Days Apparently There Is Just A Puppy In Charge For Some Reason And She Likes Barking

Lipstick marks have nothing on hickies. Like, one is the residue of a "beauty product" sold to women as part of a patriarchal demand that they conform to impossible standards of beauty, and the other is something you did yourself, a labor, a work of art in the medium of your own lips and lungs and teeth on your lovers skin.

Hi! I saw someone post a link to your posts in a discord and it kinda got me thinking so I decided to make an account and try an ask? So I don't think I'm plural? I don't have headmates or memory gaps or voices or anything.

But like a lot of people, including a lot of my plural friends, have told me my experiences sound plural? and what I do have is like what feels like different sliders? Like there is default me and in specific circumstances my like self perception? self image? shifts away on like one axis and that results in like different ways of behaviour and different internal self image? and like sometimes I imagine stuff like one version of me giving another headpats or stuff for comfort?

And I don't know, I guess I'm just a little confused, this is like the first I get to think about this? like a lot of these feelings are new and I used to get panic attacks when people told me my stuff sounded plural and I saw you did asks so I just wanted to reach out and see if you had any advice?

Sorry if this is a bit rambly

Anon, this sounds Very Plural to us however we look at it. Memory gaps, inner voices, none of these things are a requisite part of plurality - simply common traits between many systems. They are also, conveniently, possible to exercise. Knowing that you *are* plural leads to beginning to make out the different folks inhabiting your head, which leads to communication between you all, which leads to them forming more well defined personalities, which leads to an inner dialogue, and so on.

The "Me but an entirely different set of ideas, beliefs, self image, goals, and actions" is how many have described the feeling of what ends up being a member of their system. It also doesn't have to be a brand new person, just a kind of you. Visualizing interaction between yourselves is something i see systems struggle with often, too. Having that is nice to hear - we were elated when we first interacted between ourselves using more than words.

Lastly, this is not something to worry about. Ultimately, you can choose to see your lived experience through plurality, or be just one very multifaceted individual. We do ultimately suggest that you do, as it can and does benefit many. Thank you so much for the ask, and wishing you all the best!

death barter is a legit interesting worldbuilding idea lol

First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die

nobody tears through library books quite as fast as a 12 yr old girl with no friends

x reader? No thank you, I’m reading this fanfic to dissociate, actually. If i wanted to think about me, I’d— you know what, i got nothing here. I NEVER want to think about me.

We really do live in a society lads

that princesses attitude is a facade btw, what she wants more than anything is for her knight to push her against a wall with her hands held helplessly above her head while her knight makes out with her and slowly slips her hands under her—oh fuck what was i saying
