whats happening.

please. why am i being assigned plural by tumblr itself now. what is this. who's doing this to me

[transpanda-1]

i saw that post on here a couple of months ago saying "if you like uendo then there's a 90% chance you're a plegg" or something along the lines of that and thought "hahaha that doesnt apply to me tho" and. just yesterday or the day before we realized we are a system.... never was the acception, hah. your (do we use your? we dont know, sorry if we shouldn't!) posts did help us realize we are plural, so thanks ^_^ -zumi and the radiowave sys

🌑Our deepest congratulations on discovering more about yourselves. We wish you all a happy, fulfilling life of coexistence and learning to appreciate all of you. It's quite lovely to know we helped you all. Uendo Toneido truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you for existing! 🖤 - Donna

Oh, and, ahem,

bursonas but plural

[ourlordapollo]

Not that I've studied either language in quite some time but I remember after 4 years of learning German in high school, getting to the topic of plurals in my community college French class and being like "wait that's it? it's really that easy?" and to this day I still don't quite believe it

[just-some-guy-akito]

akito being plural smells like a universal constant

what do you mean by that

[insertdisc5]

are you aware of how many systems played this game and left with siffrins and/or loops in their brains . i think ive seen more plural isat fans than singlet isat fans (hyperbole)

I have heard!!! It wasn't my intention (beyond wanting to make a story about different selves interacting lol), but I'm very glad people are seeing themselves in isat... literally... yay 💖

However. come here. Come Here. siffrins and loops everywhere I am talking to you. just because siffrin is cool and relatable doesn't mean you need to make the same mistakes. (holds ur shoulders firmly. beams the following deep into your brain) 🗣📢 TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS

5, 16

5. which system member has the weirdest name?

might go with naetir on this one! with trahimur and saevus running up. naetir gets picked above them because its name is entirely "made up" by it/us while trahimur and saevus have latin meanings for the names.

16. what system member is the strangest species?

might be arbor or no eyes. though no eyes might be disqualified for being an introject of a fursona concept we made- theyre a dragon-snow leopard-monster creature so theyre pretty strange species wise. arbor is technically a demon/lesser demon/Just Monster, can shapeshift but settles as a very large semi-aquatic naga with four horns and six eyes and six arms and retractable mantis claw-like limbs on its back as well as having a set of hook/claw mandibles that are usually hidden in her mouth (full of sharp teeth). we also have a robot creature and an angel and a humanoid dragon hybrid with a flaming canine skull head and wings who has grey skin. most of our fictives arent too out there species wise (though weve got our fair share of nonhumans)

ENA from the ENA series by joel g is a median system!

ENA from ENA by Joel G is a Median System!

A median system (also called midcontinuum) is a system where members are not as distinct or separate from each other. It can be considered being somewhere between multiple and singlet.

cherry and luke putting up the tree in her apartment!

thank you for requesting!🫶🏽

“It’s wonky.”

Luke frowned, tilting his head away from the sharp pines that were centimetres away from poking his eye out and turned his head to look over his shoulder at you. “You just told me to put it more towards the left.” 

“Yeah but,” you waved your hand at the tree he had been shuffling around your living room for the last fifteen minutes. “It’s too much to the left now.”

Luke gave you a deadpan stare. “Does it really matter?”

“Yes.” 

Luke sighed and shuffled the tree more towards the right. It took another ten minutes before you were finally happy with the placement of the tree. He only just managed to avoid any further injuries from the tree pines.

“Okay, I’ll admit that the real tree does look better than the plastic one,” Luke admitted as you began opening up the boxes (plural) of Christmas decorations that you had somehow stored away somewhere in this apartment. 

“Told you so,” you grinned happily, passing him a massive tangled mess of lights. “Gonna show you how to do Christmas right, pretty boy.” 

Luke rolled his eyes, though it was fond. “I knew I should have never told you.”

“As if Curtis wouldn’t send me a picture of your gingerbread house anyways,” you retorted, sounding far too smug. “He also sent me behind the scenes clips from that video with the tree—” 

“I should have never let you two become friends,” Luke huffed but there was no real bitterness behind him.

“Liar,” you beamed. 

Yeah. Yeah, he was.

“Now, c’mon, put that height to good use and help me,” you continued. 

Luke didn’t fight it as you dragged him towards the tree, pushing the box of ornaments between you both as you began to decorate the tree. It was endearing to see how hard you were trying not to get bossy with it, the way you were trying to be sweet and subtly move every ornament he hung up. It took him a solid five minutes before he started doing it on purpose, seeing how long it could go before you snapped.

The answer was not more than ten minutes.

“You’re a dick,” you said, shoving him to the side as he laughed at the cute frown on your face. 

“That’s not very festive,” Luke grinned, wrapping an arm around you so he could pull you back into him and lean down to kiss your cheek. 

“Hm, cute,” you hummed before turning your head, smiling a little at him. “Would be cuter if you got those cherry cupcakes from that bakery while I finish this.” 

Luke grinned. “As you wish.” 

“Quoting ‘The Princess Bride’ doesn’t get you extra points after putting three green ornaments beside each other.”

“And yet, you are still smiling.” 

“Get moving, Hughes.”

I honestly think that Dizzy's entrance to Guilty Gear Strive should be as much of A Moment for plural systems as Bridget's was for trans women. The character's not out yet, but every bit of promotional material for the character points in a very promising direction. So for people who don't go here, or who have only played Strive, allow me to tell you why a character trailer for a three-year-old game put me on the verge of tears.

For some quick context, plurality in a person is essentially the state of having multiple entities in one's head. The most commonly known form of this comes from having dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personalities. But plenty within the plural community (including me) have a broader umbrella for the term. The main terminology you'll want to know for this is that a "system" is a group of entities within one body (I for example am part of the Fal'cie System), and "aspects" are entities that aren't quite separable from the host, because they're the manifestation of specific parts of them. For the record I am very aware of how buckwild this sounds to an outsider, and I frequently get existential about it. A lot of characters in anime and games are incidentally plural due to their layers of fantasy nonsense. Some examples of this in action are Yami and Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh, Sora gaining Ventus's heart in Kingdom Hearts, and the explicit dissociative identity of the Storyteller System in Ace Attorney.

Now then! To sum up Dizzy's backstory real quick, Dizzy is a Gear, basically a living weapon, and the daughter of original antagonist Justice. Most of her character up until this point has been desperately trying to cover that and live among humans, to... mixed avail. In the series' story mode she manages to start a family with the human deuteragonist Ky Kiske, who loves her a lot despite formerly being one of the best Gear-slayers. Ky is such a wonderful character, because throughout the series we see him go from hating Gears to tolerating a few of them to having a kid with one and actually becoming a little bit Gear himself. But this essay isn't about Ky Kiske.

In actual gameplay, as in the 1v1 fighting game battles, the main thing stopping her from relative normalcy is her two wings, Necro and Undine. The reason I say this character is a plural dub is because these wings are actually aspects of Dizzy, Necro being her rage and Undine her compassion. A lot of Dizzy's attack animations in Guilty Gear XX (the one where I've played Dizzy a lot) actually have Necro doing violent things while Dizzy herself is either distracted or afraid. This continued in Guilty Gear Xrd, where her instant kill move (every character gets one) has Necro unleashing a fuckoff gamma ray while Dizzy begs him to stop. Worth noting also that gamma rays are one of the moves her mother Justice used. Dizzy and Necro have clearly not been getting along, and while it's fun as a fighting game character bit, there is a certain level of sadness to it.

But in Strive? Oh my god, she looks so happy now! So at peace with herself and with her system. Lemme just rattle stuff off right now.

-Dizzy's attack animations all put her in control. Necro and Undine do a lot of fighting still, but never without Dizzy's control. They are fighting in tandem.

-Dizzy's victory animation has her hold out two hands. Undine naturally puts her whole hand onto one, and Necro finally puts a single finger on the other with a smile.

-Their super move, Gamma Ray, starts out with Necro and Undine firing a beam, and Dizzy getting scared. But after glancing at them and realizing it's okay, she joins in on the beam attack.

-She has a new move now, Michael Sword (Pronounced Mik-hai-ull), a full-screen slash that Justice used to have, indicating that she's come to terms with her origins and wants to use them for good.

-God, her opening animation and taunt where she communes with the animals like a Disney princess. Her new beautiful design. Her new theme song! She has never been this happy in her life!

The thing is, right, I can imagine people saying that this character growth isn't remotely the same kind of moment as Bridget's, because Dizzy's whole thing is based in sci-fantasy that could never be real in the same way that like, dissociative identity is real. Plenty more would deny that plurality exists at all outside some deluded roleplayers. And, I mean, was series director Daisuke Ishiwatari really thinking about people like me when choosing to take the character this way? I don't know, honestly. But I do know that Dizzy's character arc is authentic, to me. If there's one thing Guilty Gear Strive's story is really good at, it's giving long-suffering characters some well-earned peace. And if this is how Strive Season 4 is starting, I can't wait to see what they do next.
