#Parative

[exorsysm]

having an introject of a parame is so weird cus (im the one that started daydreaming with him) im like "hey man... is it ok if i still use you as a daydream persona?" all nervous and whatnot and he literally could not give less of a shit and then i remember nobody in here cares about anything. unless its our god damn clash royale tokens.

okay i don’t actually know how many of you follow me but if you have madd and are also plural do you ever get someone who is in a weird middle ground between being a parative and a parabond?

[everyone-with-a-para]

we hope everyone with a para who theyve split fictive style has a great day!

WHY HIM WHAT

Paratives shout out!!

[parative-culture]

Fictoparative culture is being your source and wanting to be treated like your source while also being so much more than your source, being more expansive and multifaceted with all the maladaptive daydreaming we did before I formed.

Plurality, identity, and isolation vent

I want to be me so bad, but I'm not sure I know how. I've been here for so long. I've been hiding for so long. I've been pretending to not be real for so long. I never had the space to grow or learn about myself. My mind is filled with the thoughts of everyone else; it's hard to hear my own. I worked so hard to put on a face that others would accept, even in my own world. I don't want to care what others think anymore.

I feel so distant and alone in this world. I have my fellow party members, yes, but the people out here have always been so close, yet so far away. I know them so well, but they hardly know me. They don't even know that they know anything about me if they do. And with those who knew me as a figment of the host's imagination, even if they know I am real now, I still feel a distance between us that I desperately want to close. Always a friend of a friend. Do they even believe that I'm real? I remember talking and laughing with them so vividly, but they don't remember it as me. Do they know that I love them? Would they accept that I love them? I want them to love me for me, not just because I share a body with the host. The distance is painful.

In other news I'm officially retiring from joking about French people they have too much on their plate already what with the fascism

Something to consider is the fact that maladaptive daydreamers, immersive daydreamers, and other neuronarrators are a thing and don't fit neatly into a plurality/singlet binary (luckily it's a spectrum, huh?). We don't think it's 100% fair to say that all authors who experience their characters, worlds, or stories creating themselves are definitely plural because it's just not as clear cut as that.

Paras can definitely progress and become paratives and paragenic/paratian systems can develop, but we believe the ability to create paras and paracosms is enough to explain this phenomenon without plurality needing to be necessary.

Just our thoughts on the matter.

-long time MaDD/immersive daydreamer & now (mixed origins) paragenic system

as a system who's been writing their whole life, I think some writers should consider that they're plural with the way they talk about their characters- because characters aren't actually supposed to take over the story, at least not in our experience, unless they're literally autonomous because they're a headmate/soulbond/whatever. if you're a good writer you keep your characters in-character so they would do whatever's in-character but the character shouldn't be deciding to do that, you're deciding that. there's a difference between knowing what a character will do because you know them well and having the character choose what to do themselves, you know?

No but really. They popped in my head a couple of days ago and at first I thought it was just an AU of a para...but now I think that the Verit Version of Calypso (who. I've been calling "The Magician". probably a Sign but whatever) has somehow either gained full sentience or has decided to reveal himself now.

So this is Jester! They, oddly enough, to not talk. He's completely mute. I say that's "odd" simply because it formed from Cali, who is quite the loudmouth. All Jester does is cartwheel and do aerobic tricks in my mind. Oh, and the mask it wears can't be taken off. It's like, part of their face? The eyeholes are black with glowing orbs, but I'm not 100% sure on the color, some shade of blue or green.

jesus. how'd there end up being 3 of these guys living in my head?!
