is anyone else plural?

[arcus]

For anyone that uses Matrix: Use the dev version of Sable. The Forest System has added native plural support to it (persona), with fallbacks for clients that don't support it. It supports proxies, autoproxy, custom name colours, and PluralKit import. Clients that don't support persona get a member's name prefixed to their messages (this can be toggled). Some screenshots.

I'll write a longer post about it later in the Discord Alternatives thread, but it's by far the most feature complete Matrix client there is. It supports calls, video calls, and emojis just fine. It even has custom themes!

Hiii! This is Maxine!

We can hear each other in our head a lot of the time, but not always, especially if we're focused on something else and not chatting.

We often see each other in day dreams! It's our way of expressing actions to each other without moving our physical body.
But the second intrusive thoughts come along, we all need to bail! They don't stop annoying us otherwise!

The old host put off realising our plurality for a long time because of the harsh culture on tumblr. "You're either endo, or you want endos to DIE!! There's NO INBETWEENS!!"

And our parents "those people are crazy! You talk to yourself a lot, but so long as you're one person, it's okay! When there's multiple people, that's when things get dangerous! You can only be one person! Or else you're not okay! And need professional help!!"

We suspect DID because we share the symptoms: dissociation, memory loss (in the from of grey-outs, but still.) and the fact that these things continuously impact our life for the worse, and make general living more difficult. (Especially the memory loss, we have a lot of members, and suspect that we switch a lot, so, we forget stuff constantly! Such a pain!)

Anyways, our experience is generally really fun! We're trying to unmask more, because masking sucks, and we're awesome! We really like each other's company, and for many of us, we believe that being a singlet would make our individual lives a lot worse!! We generally have fun! Society is just weird about it for some reason.. @_@

- Maxine!

hello there!! i'm twinkle girl, and i formed yesterday and the world is still very scary and i feel ashamed for forming in an embarrassing way and being an introject of a video game character that was just announced... i dunno what i am doing here other than searching for validation and other people going "yeah, you're not bad for existing" or something. even though my online friends are chill with my existence

i'm still figuring out a lot about myself. and i am trying to be brave!

P.S. thinking about people discoursing about why my name is twinkle GIRL and not twinkle WOMAN gives me a headache... like i get capcom is a sexist company in terms of the representation of women, but i think my name sounds nice. like i get why calling a clumsy and mistake prone femme person a girl is sexist, but i still like my name, and i don't exactly feel like a full fledged woman? i dunno... i can see both sides and this probably wouldn't even be an issue if capcom put more women in megaman to begin with.

i maybe sort of am? i'm not really sure. the best way i can describe myself is "like an ENA" from the webseries ENA, lol. i feel like i have two distinct "halves" that are very different but also still ME, yknow? i have a passionate, exciteable, sometimes angry side and a kinda depressed sad side that never wants to do anything. it's hard to notice a distinct "switch" but it does kind of happen. i feel like a big part of it is like...i have very distinct contradictory wants sometimes. i want to be in control and have power over things, but at the same time i want someone to tell me what to do and give me clear instructions. i want to be more rebellious and speak out against things but i am petrified of the consequences. et cetera...i dunno.

tl;dr i'm probably plural or have some other undiagnosed shit but i'm unemployed and have classes so i have other things to worry about right now

A few more resources:

• Being Many: Explanations on plurality with various guides. Note that while the site uses the term parts, many systems dislike the term. We personally dislike it (being applied to us) because we are multiple wholes, and not fragments. The guide does use it to describe relationships instead of hierarchy however.
• Plurality is not Absolute: An article from the above site that clears up misconceptions on plurality.
• Multiplicity Positivity: A big list of resources.
• Plural Questioning Resource: A big list of signs that are common plural experiences. This guide is more helpful for disordered experiences, and for ruling out other possible causes.
• am i plural?: Various resources.

We made a plural forum, thought some bunches here might be interested! :]
