Today in a nutshell (Im Barney😛)

[multiplicity-positivity]

hey, I'm a questioning plural, and I don't know if I'm coming to the right place for this but I feel like I experience this differently than most plurals I see on here (I've deemed how I feel Blural for Reasons That Will Be Expanded Upon Later lol). So, first, I (the host?) don't really have any control or knowledge over who's where, when. They just sort of show up when we're doing different activities, and sometimes there's multiple... Fronting, I guess? I don't know if that's the right word. We also don't really have a communal inner world, so if they're there they're there, if they're not they're not. And here's where Blural comes in- they have different roles and identities, but they feel more like the same person copy-pasted but with some aspects changed, so there's considerable overlap and it make it kind of hard to differentiate them. So I guess Im wondering if there's like, a term for this? Or if it's a development stage sort of thing? Thanks for being here btw, you've helped us a lot ^^ (sorry the ask is so long)

Hey - we’re not sure if there’s a specific term for what you’re experiencing. To us, it just sounds like being a system in the early stages of discovery.

It’s pretty normal for system members to not have a ton of awareness about other system members, especially not at first. It’s also very common for system members to not be able to control each other. Even a system’s host may struggle with keeping their system on the same page or not even be aware of how many members their system has. Our system was in a similar position when we first started learning about each other.

Having multiple members front at the same time is another common occurrence. As we understand it, when two or more members are fronting together with shared access to the world and control over their body, that is co-fronting. If one member is fronting fully while another member is able to be present and witness events without being an active participant, that is being co-conscious. Our system experiences a mixture of both!

As far as an inner world… most systems don’t come with one right off the bat. For many systems, inner worlds or headspaces are visualization tools that were actively imagined and built by the systems themselves. We wrote a post about headspaces in the past which might help you learn more:

And as for your fellow headmates appearing as copies… some systems do just function that way. We’ve known systems to have twin members, clone members, carbon-copy members, or to fully exist as a system made up of multiple versions of one person. This might change in the future, as you all grow and learn more about yourselves and each other… or it might not. For some folks, that’s how their plurality manifests, and that’s okay! It’s nothing to worry about actively changing, unless it’s been causing you and your members a lot of distress.

Sorry our response got long, but hopefully something here can help you!

It's so weird

Being an alter who hates coffee, cofronting with the alter who loves it the most

And drinking coffee

Because I still hate it

But simultaneously, it isn't causing the same hate-reaction because the coffee lover is enjoying the fuck out of it

Three notable XantheTM moments, as pointed out by Kaspar:

Telling the person at my most frequented alcohol booth, "Thank you for your service."

I was vibing to Fat Bottomed Girls and saying "YES we're getting back to our roots!" And someone in front of us was like "I dunno, I'm kind of not feeling a lot of old cis white guy's music." As Kaspar said later, "I witnessed you lean your body across, like a snake, and shout 'FREDDIE MERCURY IS FROM ZANZIBAR, YOU PHILISTINE.'"

Using the "drag community" = "shade" on joke nearly everyone I've met.

Standing and holding my heart over "Born this way" as if it was an anthem.

WAR IS OVER

[queerautism]

Yall still like me even if I'm a girl sometimes right?? Like right now 🥺💜 <- Anxious about new genderfluid multigender plurality based identity stuff

Little differences in habit between system members are interesting. First Red goes to put milk before cereal without thinking, and now I've learned that no one else in here turns the water cold right before getting out of a shower. I'm cofronting with some guys who were absolutely shocked when I turned the hot water down. Like how do you get out of a shower and feel awake at all if you don't turn it cold? I'd go right to sleep.

It's just little insignificant things like those that really help battle the imposter syndrome back. We are real, and none of these little things would shock us if we weren't.

sketch request of horror mido if that's okay :0?

[janederscore]

not to be a bitch but i don't think we need to be adding Minors Don't Interact!!! NSFW!!!! to every single depiction of a fat person on the internet. like it is actually really weird behavior to put up traffic cones around completely chaste images bc there is a body fat percentage you've decided is Too Sexual
