Silly Plural Comic - Interview With The Universe
Got sad and decided to make another "silly" low effort PluralBall(TM) comic. Don't think we've actually posted any of them here before so uh, take one! Enjoy. Hopefully it resonates with someone.

(TW) Trigger Warning: People not trusting systems
"How do I tell if someone's faking being plural?" Shut the fuck up. Trust them. They know better than you. If they're using the label plurality it's probably for good reason. Even if they aren't plural it's probably helping them on their journey of self discovery. Who gives a shit. It's not hurting you. Trust them. Be kind.

Plural people and or systems of Tumblr, what would you choose as your superpower?
And why is it shapeshifting?
Y'know we learned awhile ago that some systems just have a headspace. They don't have to conjure it like a spell, no constant mental effort and the equivalent of invoking an ancient hex with a summoning circle.
❌ I hate this stupid body
Generic, makes you sound lame, no fun at parties, generally a downer
✅ I despise this vessel I am entombed within.
Foreboding, mysterious, makes you sound like an eldritch horror trapped biding your time
No matter what flavor of plural you/y'all/yous may be. It's valid.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, because you are worth more than that.
Reminder that you should uplift people in your own community, not put it down.
We are all unique, and that is beautiful.
Some people seem to struggle with that fact that you cannot be the arbiter of consciousness.
If a brain can form a single consciousness. It can form multiple. For no reason.
Having a single consciousness is already it forming one for no reason.

Some people are so afraid of not being accepted that they, sadly, take it out on others to make themselves look more presentable, more "valid".
They think the world is a zero sum game, that there is only a limited amount of acceptance in the world.
Uplift the community you are part of, don't push it down. We are stronger together. There is no limited amount of acceptance.
genuinely dont understand syscourse at all 🙃
why are we spending time arguing between ourselves instead of collectively putting energy into building a better world for all of us?
i dont get in what way discourse benefits anyone
haven't we learnt from queer discourse that people who hate us will hate us regardless of how palatable we make ourselves?
We experience this too! And while uncomfortable sometimes and confusing as it can muddle the waters, emotional bleed can be useful like that yes, and it's very nice then.
We also without knowing if there was even a term for this have always called it "emotional bleed" so neat to know other people call it that as well!
- Rische
honestly, i think the best part of our plurality is the emotional bleedthrough we have. it happens more the stonger the emotions are and it feels exactly like im feeling my own emotions, but im not the source of it.
if one of us is feeling bad, like stressed, sad, anxious, whatever, well now the others know exactly how they feel and can help to comfort them so much better than they could otherwise, also its great to just feel them calm down as you help.
but its gets better, it happens with joy as well. it really is an amazing feeling just bounceing pure happiness off each other, and theres been a few times we've gotten into a bit of a feedback loop with it.
im not sure were we saw it but i remember seeing a quote along the lines of "shared pain is halved, shared joy is doubled" and thats exactly what is like.
we love being plural and wouldnt trade it for the world.
Seeing hateful people with anti endo DNIs reblog our posts is so funny, like you specifically specified that pro endo people shouldn't interact with you. You don't get to see our funny tumbles, you opted out of that by being hateful.
Our pfp is the plural journey flag. The flag specifically made to support EVERYONE who is plural, regardless of origin or how they work.
We love all y'all plural peeps out there (biased, I know) We're rooting for all of you. Stay safe and stay strong. - Quasar
A ton of us have different music playlists and we will occasionally prank each other by adding weird songs into someone else's playlist, it's a fun way to remind each other that we're all there. - Flake
I love systems who make picrews and pinterest boards and playlists for different headmates, systems who have different styles of clothes and makeup depending on who got ready in the morning, systems who are unapologetic in their plurality and joyful in their expression.
This is MUCH funnier as a system - Flake
"Hey what are your pronouns?"
*Wheel of Fortune set erupts around you but the wheel is covered in pronouns, you don't recognize the other contestants, I start announcing your puzzle in a sparkly suit*
A snake, like six of dragons, a reindeer, and three avali walk into a bar.
It's (some of) us. We're walking into a bar for a concert. It's some super messy cofront because we're all excited about seeing the artists live.
"Even IF-" Shut up. I don't care about however you think brains work, there's giant fungal colonies and that's so much more interesting and important than whatever crap you were about to spew.
Isn't nature beautiful? Isn't it wonderous to revel in how different and unique everything is? Why can't we just admire how unique and diverse brains are? We should celebrate differences. Because they are beautiful. That we can all be so different yet connected in such a fundamental way. That we all think. - Nova

Having always said "I am the ideal audience for my jokes" makes a lot of sense in retrospect now that we know we're plural.

If you're endo neutral you are not endo safe.
If you are not actively cultivating a safe environment for all systems by blocking those who are hateful you are not making an endo safe environment.
If you say your(s) blog is endo safe but don't block people who start shit, you're not endo safe.
We block every single account that we see or that interacts with our stuff that is anti endo. That is how you cultivate a safe and positive environment.
The block button is not a gun. The only person you hurt by not blocking hate is yourselves/self
I feel this in my bones. They wriggle, yearning to attack.

"who's the evil alter" Me, if you don't shut your ass up right now
Even if you aren't a system, exploring this avenue will most likely help you figure out who you are on your path of self discovery.
If you say you're a system, we will believe you. No matter what.
Whether you use labels or you don't, you're still valid.
Don't worry about what other people think of you, focus on the ones who will support you.
your experiences are real. you’re not faking, faking takes intention.
if you’re wrong about being a system, that’s okay. finding your identity is apart of life. mistakes happen, and it doesn’t define you
if you’re right about being a system, congrats! you’re a system, regardless of what people say.
you know yourself better than anyone, don’t let people say you’re faking. they’re silly and not the good silly.
no matter how you label yourself; CDD, endogenic, traumagenic, quoigenic, any label. you’re allowed to express yourself and define what you experience.
you deserve respect and kindness <3
