i actually dont understand the controversy of BAH (build a headmate) as a whole

like if you dont believe in endos or if you dont support endos, like sure sure, i wont argue about that now, i dont want to, i dont care for the argument

but like alterpacks, its just a compiled template i guess or a persona? i dont know the right word, but when a pack is made its like a character (or au of a character/whatever), and the intention is for a system to introject that character

like, any system can introject a character, any system can try to influence how a fragment forms/develops further (and in some cases that intentional influence is a good thing, as it can help a system get maybe a protector they need or something), it might be something they just bookmark and hope they introject

like it only makes sense to be strictly anti-BAH if youre against the idea of hoping that when you do split you split a particular headmate and that youre also against any kind of influencing fragments too

because like. thats what a lot of systems who request are requesting for, and its what a few BAH blogs are specifically made for (to give fragments something to latch onto /etc)

in total honesty and from a genuinely neutral standpoint, BAH is syscourse-neutral; its not inherently for "traumagenic" or "endogenic" plurals

lol if this gets any traction at all were going to be fakeclaimed for pointing out something from a neutral standpoint people will be like "YOURE NOT A SYSTEM BECAUSE YOURE SUPPORTING BAH" or something lmaoooo

Raph from ROTTMNT is canonically plural.

In the episode “Man vs Sewer” his is shown to have a trigger related to being alone. When he is left alone in the episode he becomes “Savage”. He cannot recognize his brothers until the main Raph is triggered into front.

In another episode he speaks to “Mind Raph”. They are shown to have different personalities and constantly argue over how to help their brothers.

OMG of course they’d be a system. Gonna make an au now /silly but also /srs

So here's a weird case we aren't sure if they count or not? MK from Lego Monkie Kid and his clones, Porty, Painter, and Delivery. I'll lay down the situation here, but the 11 minute S1E2 where it first goes down is here

https://youtu.be/RtzTDi_4ZxI

Okay so I say this is systemhood because systemhood is multiple people utilizing/residing within a singular body (for example, irl soulbonds, walk-ins, and system travellers are still a system if they choose to use the word) What's happening here is that MK has the powers of the Monkey King from Chinese mythology, and one of those powers is manifesting clones made from strands of his own hair. At first, they're perfectly the same as MK, BUT once the clones stay out interacting with the world around them, they diverge and become their own people with individual personalities, quirks, and desires. (kinda like created headmates!) This goes so far as for Porty to try and claim he's the "real" MK for fear of being unsummoned the first time, but his own individual accent he developed during his time out betrays him.

But that's not even the coolest part! Because while they can be un-summoned by MK or even themselves if they don't want to be around at the moment, they don't just revert away when that happens. In fact, pretty much every single time MK resummons his clones throughout the series, the diverged clones show up again with all their awareness and personhood attached. It's unclear where they go in the meantime, but hypothetically, a sort of dormancy back within MK.

So basically, the only "separate" bodies these guys get are ones that're literally an extension of the superpowers the main body already has, created out of that bodys own strands of hair (and those bodies turn back into hair when desummoned), and the identities of the clones evidently return to MK and stay with him for the entire time they're not summoned until they're needed next. Porty even desummons himself in one episode very casually, showing he doesn't equate it to death.

This has been a ramble but i think it counts now that I talk it out! Thanks for reading!

This is more of an edge case leaning towards no, we would think.

If they only canonically have awareness or sapience when they are summoned outside the body, thats less of a body *sharing* thing and more like the HDM daemons or Orihime's little summoned fairies in Bleach which we are not counting where they are tied to a body but dont use it.

If one takes plurality as a collection of material experiences that are interpreted through the lens of being more than one in a body, from this perspective of experiences they dont sound like they qualify?

They arent fronting or switching, they do not communicate or passively influence or otherwise 'intrude' without taking executive control in any way while inside MK rather than manefested, they are not tied up in any dissociative symptoms, and they are not aware on any level when they are not summoned.

Plural-esque? Sure. Easily interpreted plural? Most definitely. Quasi-plural? Sure. But directly Canon Plural? Not quite.

Plural-esque stuff like this in media is super cool, but not exactly what we are taking. We would encourage you to write analysis posts like this yourself instead, or consider checking with Pluralstories on dreamwidth if this example is plural-esque enough to submit! They take plural-esque media as well. https://pluralstories.dreamwidth.org/

If the show ever does make it clear in the future they are aware to some level or experiencing the world while not summoned and thus inside MK, feel free to submit again though!

i didnt start interacting with the yugioh fandom until i was a bit older but i was genuinely really surprised to find out people judged and were horrified with early manga/season 0 yami yugi for his unchecked messed up behavior because growing up i just thought we were all in agreement that we, too, would also set evil fake bitches on fire if they tried to hurt yugi like that 100% made sense to me 7 year old me didnt care who died then and idc now like fuck em yugi is all that matters

[vesper-of-the-coven]

bestie, that’s barely a headcanon.

Yugi Moto and Yami Yugi / Pharoh Atem from Yu-Gi-Oh! are a spirigenic system!

dragoness looking for errant hatchlings at the park, does this subsonic trill sound to call the kids back. you're just sitting on the nearby bench or walking and something twinges painfully in your chest each time she does it.

you get up to leave but dragoness locks eyes with you when she makes the noise again and watches you twitch. confused you look around but you're the only one hearing it. some kind of whine escapes you when she trills again.

the dragoness sighs. her kids are still off somewhere and it looks like she found an extra hatchling that doesn't know what she is. she's got her work cut out for her.
