Alter shoutout: Marie is so good at interviews and she literally always gets us hired on the spot and today was no exception! We are so excited to start this new job (it's in adolescent mental health which we are very qualified for and have a lot of positive experience) and it sounds so perfect for us. They are so accommodating and kind and this is genuinely a dream come true.

the little sparkles surrounding the three of them, of course, symbolize the fact that the entire fourth line needed to fight three separate times for the team to be able to score two goals.

aromantic in a "im capable of feeling romantic love but also capable of feeling strong platonic and alterous and other types of love and if you tell me i need to find romantic love to be happy im going to crash out" type of way

As a system, especially when we were younger, we sought out online communities. I remember feeling like everyone within those communities had the most exciting systems, every alter was fascinating with an elaborate backstory and life in headspace, with magical powers or some special trait to top it all off. Every other post seemed to be about funny communication between alters or an aesthetic post about who they were. And as a system who doesn't have that, who doesn't have a ton of fictives who yearn for their source partners or a host with magical powers and an extended family insys, we often felt left out in a way. We felt like we needed those traits to be valid, to be included.

We've since realised that's bullshit, and in all honesty it's more common for a did system to not have any of that. That it's okay for our alters to be 'boring', for our very clinical did to be 'boring'.

Shout out to boring systems.

To systems who don't have many, if any fictives

Whose alters don't have extensive backstories or exomemories

Who don't have a headspace

Whose headspace isn't interesting

Whose alters don't have aesthetic about me's or profiles or carrda of pluralkits

Who are private about who's in front

Who don't like to share personal information

Who don't have exciting innerworld events

Who don't have funny moments between alters

Who don't hear funny jokes or comments when fronting

Whose alters are human

Whose alters don't have magical powers or inhuman features

Whose alters don't have complicated insys relationships

Who don't present overtly

And this isn't to say systems who have the 'interesting' alters, systems, headspaces and presentations are faking or wrong. It's a valid way for did and osdd to present, but it's one that's very heavily represented whereas more covert, 'boring', clinical presentation is often ignored online.

Hey, other plurals! Another silly discussion topic for us; do any of your headmates have a specific 'tell' that lets you know when they're around?

For example, I always know Akademia-san is active (we use "active" instead of fronting in my subsystem, to avoid confusion with the central system, which does use "fronting" language) when I suddenly get a strong urge to research a seemingly random topic, organize large amounts of information (via tables, charts, essays, etc), or practice skills I don't regularly use.

She genuinely likes maths and it baffles me. But she helped me pass the GED so I guess I can't complain xD
