"you should be at the club" I should be working on my fanfic

what is it like having a partner system ?? how did you connect in that way ? [we saw you mention having one we believe sorry if wrong/invasive . ] - :] anon

🦢 Hello, :] anon. We do not think it's invasive, don't worry.

Our partner system is @cassettecoll , and we have known them for about four or five years now, if my math is correct. They were the main person who helped us discover our system and communicate with each other better.

For us, the term partner system is inclusive of the feelings that are similar between all of us, but shift in exact definitions. We, collectively, love their collective. The form that love takes can change, though; For example, while I am romantically committed to Aerwyn, Elwood sees them as a paternal figure.

🌰 (god damn you talk so formally anyway thats my momma :3)

🦢 The point is, while those exact definitions may change, we all love them, and the word "partner" encompasses all of that to us. We are partners in all aspects.

Similarly, we have a sibling system, @thefishbowlcollective . This term is more specific, but we collectively view them as family of some kind. We met them about three years ago if I had to estimate, and love them dearly as well.

Occasionally we will sort of "claim" time to spend with our partners in the Cassettes, or they will request time with us. A few of us have been struggling with sharing time, but we are getting used to it steadily.

🌰 as for the connection itself, it's kind of hard to say? it's been so long that we've known each other, before we even had the words for having a partner system, that it feels like they've always been here. ive said this before but i don't know what i'd do or where i'd be if they weren't here, and i don't want to find out.

sorry for the sap but we are the trees aren't we? :3

AAOOUGUGHHH....... LONGINNGGGGG when is it my turn :( /sillies

I got a new job and as a reward my partner got me these! They leave paw prints and are perfect for hiking!

i don't know who needs to hear this (its me) but. to any of you creatives out there with brain stuff that makes it hard to finish things.

make the thing anyway.

you don't have to create to finish projects. you do not have to start things to finish them. do the projects because they're fun, not because you need to complete something.

it's okay to have six thousand unfinished things. its okay to abandon projects if they're just for fun.

do it for fun first, and for completion's sake second.
