Plural Comic Diary: Dog Edition

Bodily an adult, collectively nonhuman

[canineshapes]

Hi! We're a collection of creatures making comics! This is a blog for those comics, as well as some yapping and reblogs that relate to our experiences with plurality. Follows from @darkxwolf17

We use We/I interchangeably . We are still figuring ourselves out, please be patient!

Unknown origin. We could be literally anything we don't know #lmao . We're MOST likely traumagenic but we don't care too much about labels 🕊️

Boundaries:

Please no syscourse. We're supportive of all kinds of systems, and would prefer if those who are vehemently against any kind of non-disordered plurality refrain from following. Frankly, we find people like that annoying and close-minded.

Preferably do not send questions about plurality as a whole that isn't specifically about us- this is because we are completely new to this. We are far from an expert and don't feel comfortable acting as an authority figure.

Other boundaries can be found on our main blog.

Frequent Fronters (if you want to talk about or ask an individual headmate a question just use their emoji name):

🧪 it/they [HOST, Probably!]

🪄 she/her

🫐 she/they/he

👾 she/it/any

🪽it/they

💖 it/pup/she/he

🚫 it/its

🦇 she/it/bite

🗯️ it/toon/any

🌐 it/its

I love you!

reposting my plural genderfluid flag for pride month. just a combination of this plural pride flag and the genderfluid flag, with the interlocking rings on top. specifically made for genderfluidity influenced by being plural but idgaf if people use it other ways

If anyone says you can’t be a system in any way, don’t listen to them. There is no wrong way to be a system. If you feel and/or identify as plural, then you are plural. There is no limit to alters. There is not a required amount. You do not have to be 100% plural or 100% singlet with no in between, there are a lot of in betweens. You can present yourself however you wish. You can be as open or close about your plurality as you wish. You can have any sort of headspace, or no headspace. You can have lots of roles, a few roles, or no roles. You can have all introjects, or all brainmades, or anything else.

The function of your system cannot be determined by others. They are not you. You know how you work. In a time with a lot of negativity and hatred and policing, be proud of who you are and be as loud as you can, or let others be loud for you if you cannot be. We are all allowed to exist as we are.

talking to people in the middle of a slow/gradual switch is so embarrassing yeahh i was wrong i wasnt that guy actually

Honestly im so fascinated by how plurality works theres such a wide spectrum of experiences and I think narrowing it down to "well if your life doesnt SUCK and you dont HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF you arent plural" isn't helpful at all

plurality is our partner showing us hyena videos because Purple likes hyenas, plurality is all those little conversations you have in the bathroom when nobody is around, plurality is pacing around the kitchen because you can't decide what to eat and keep forgetting what you were doing. Plurality is finding notes and doodles you completely forgot you wrote. Plurality is finding little notes of someone else's style in your art. Plurality is giving yourself a headache because you went down a rabbit hole of trying to learn about yourselves.

The DSM is not the word of the gods, it was written by people, and cannot possibly cover every extent of human experience.

Today has been a really exhausting day. Brain is very loud. Feeling so mixed up that we accidentally used plural pronouns referring to ourselves to our teacher. auuuu embarrassing

[canineshapes]

Not to get into syscourse or whatever but We've seen an uptick in "anti-x-[character]" type blogs and idk it just seems kind of depressing that you'd name a whole blog after something you hate? Like if you're against something why are you making it your entire brand? It Just seems like such a miserable way of existing online. Idk

[canineshapes]

We used to think we couldn't possibly be traumagenic bc we confused trauma with abuse. We thought we absolutely could not have trauma because we were never outright abused, right? We had a good childhood, right? Right? Haha ^_^" Then we realized oops growing up neurodivergent kinda was inherently traumatic in itself. Being isolated and othered by your peers as a child Actually affects you? Wow! Who would have thought!!! Wow!!!!!!!

[inchwormcircus]

and how is that different from imaginary friends

ok so that's actually a very good question so little info session with lime bc i know some may not be ultra familiar with the basics of plurality

but systems are less adults that didnt grow out of imaginary friends and more "I can't function as a human person alone so im going to become several smaller dudes with more specialized tasks so we can person without exploding into a million tiny pieces"

(I can't believe lime had the patience to draw a whole info comic I would've just taken it as our first hate anon and been sarcastic about it)

[canineshapes]

Bit about us!

[canineshapes]

???? Okay.
