For Me, Being Plural Feels Like So Much More Than Sharing A Body. Its Sharing A Life.

for me, being plural feels like so much more than “sharing a body.” its sharing a life.

this isn’t a hot take or anything, it’s just my own personal experience. we live in the same room, we strive towards the same goals, we maintain the same relationships, we look after each other so our lives, collectively and individually, are as happy as can be.

saying we merely share a body feels like if you lived with a partner (or similar close relationship) and referred to it as only “living together,” rather than having a long-term life that you share together. it almost feels like downplaying the impact of our system in the external world.

that’s entirely how i feel though, im speaking as a small system w/ managed/treated DID without one particular “host.” i don’t think feeling different is wrong or anything. in fact, im interested to hear why other systems favour the words “sharing a body” over “sharing a life!” i love hearing other people’s experiences, different and similar to mine.

plurality is such a vast spectrum of experience, disordered or otherwise. the brain is a damn funky little thing, i love it

Me🩶👻 and Mikel🧡🐍 wanting to draw and perfect our art styles

Btw: liking my new art style! Let me know you’re thoughts! I went far more simplistic and soft with lines. Or tried to anyway.

me: glad we havent split in a while!

glitch (gatekeeper): oh no we definitely have lmfao

me: I? WHEN?? i barely ever leave front when did this happen

glitch: good fucking question

me: WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOOD FUCKING QUESTION????

Dear system, let's agree to stop making new email accounts all the time, our ass is not remembering all that

She be for real honest with me....

We’ve got:

Computer (she’s somehow a mix of Alexa, Jarvis, and the Narrator from Stanley Parable)

We have 3 separate Simon’s from Cry of Fear. An introject of Sick Simon, Book Simon, and the Simon you play as in the game

We’ve also got Sophie and Purnell from Cry of Fear somehow!

Too many fucking ninja turtles in here I swear to god… 2003? Check. 2012? Check. Rise? Check. Mutant Mayhem? Check. Same as it Never Was? Check. Future versions of the Rise turtles? Check. Not to mention the cherry picked Splinters, Casey’s, and Aprils.

Factives of people we knew who are trying to become different from their source.

SPECIFICALLY JAYDEN! She just turned 18 this month, and absolutely despises her source. She’s been trying out different looks for herself as she attempts to redefine herself outside of her source. We love this trans girl so much <3

Google Translate. Like… the meme of what comes out after putting stuff through it several times. They’re wild

Also the weirdest brainmade we have is Jelly. They’re just a pile of sentient Strawberry jelly that loves hugs and making people happy

Optimus Prime and Megatron

Basically everyone in this system is weird in their own right, but these are the weirdest ones imo :)

Systems, what are the weirdest introjects (fictives, factives, etc) you've ever had?

I present ours:

Autocorrect. Literally just Autocorrect

Goat from the Goat Simulator (we found out about them like 2 days ago, and I am still just- done. With this entire system. Why the fuck-)

Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime

Mommy Long Legs from Poppy Playtime 2

Any animatronic fictives are their own kind of weird. A good and sometimes terrifying kind, but a kind nonetheless

(All of this is /nfta, stating it even if it's obvious)

P.S. Brain-made work, too!! Brains are weird lmao, go off about their weirdness! I just took introjects as main cause that's the first thing that came to mind.
