Howdy folks, welcome on in! We are the Starlight Forge, a collective of souls learning how to coexist in a shared body. You can call us Stargang, Star(s), Micah, or the Forge. Collectively, we are a queer adult, and use he/they pronouns. We follow/like from our main blog, which you can confirm is us by dming - we aren't sharing it otherwise.
This blog serves primarily as a personal diary, and secondarily as us reaching out to the tumblr void for plural friends. We are strictly pro-endo/willo, and no amount of debate or hatemail can change our minds, so don't bother. We block liberally, play nice or get the hammer.
We are currently a family of over 20, most of us being fictives; the people who use this blog the most are below the cut. Others may occasionally chime in, and some you will never hear from, as their jobs and lives are entirely internal.
Ely ☆ they/he ☆ primary host, frontguard
A changeling from Equestria, they identify the most with the body, and were in denial about our plurality for a long time. They like to bake, code, and do needlecrafting. They're also our resident artist!
Mikey ☆ he/him ☆ host, frontguard, 2nd in command
Michael Afton, game universe. The gamer, main socializer, and overall just a cool, chill guy. He enjoys horror, roguelike/soulslike games, and robotics. His favorite pastime is watching other people play fnaf and go through his personal hell.
Caine ☆ he/him ☆ little, emotion holder
The ringmaster of the Amazing Digital Circus! He loves nature, art, mysteries, puzzles, and of course bees. His "age" fluctuates, sometimes he will be very put together and able to run the body, and other times he needs a helping hand or two. He's a bit of an oversharer, but would love to make some new friends.
Vox ☆ he/him ☆ protector, businessman
One of our older headmates, specialized to keep us on top of deadlines and always looking presentable. He doesn't often act like his source, though he does have memories of it. He's wary of Alastors, but we believe finding a Val or Vel to befriend will help him settle and become more comfortable; he misses them both dearly.
Slimer/Charlie ☆ he/him ☆ body manager
Another longtime headmate, fashioned into the shape of Slimecicle. This goopy gunker has wisdom beyond his humor, and cracks jokes without cringing. He also gets hangry, and we struggle not to constantly snack when he's in front. Feels at home while watching videos of himself.
Jax ☆ he/him ☆ self-titled persecutor
A player from Caine's circus who thrives on being an asshole. He was accidentally summoned here by our toothy ringmaster, and now spends his time antagonizing fronters from the couch, or drinking at the amazing digital bar. Sometimes he'll front to do chores solely to one-up Ely (long story). Physically vocal, and has a mean streak.
Simon ☆ he/him ☆ body/pain manager
An ignorant god sees the universe through a pinhole, and sends a dead man into another's mind. Hailing from the iron lung, Simon is one of our newer members. He consistently fronts when we're on our period.
Others who may reply when addressed: Sundrop, Moondrop, Pinkie Pie, Link, GenLoss Ranboo, Princess Cadence, Second Sentinel, Looey, Kinger, Bdubs, Helsknight, Hallownest's Ghost, Ryland Grace.
Today on the Michael Af-Tea Saga: (told you it'd come back)
We've discovered that if Ely hadn't already found their own identity by the time we watched TADC, they would've consumed the identity of Pomni. As it is they kin her already; that's what caused Caine to find our system, and what caused him to not be able to summon a pom of our own when he tried.
Ely might also be evolving into a gatekeeper (literal translation) bc they've always had a level of control over the others when they front. We're still working on the whole 'sharing front' situation, but we're getting better every day.
Anyway uhh that's all. Snack of the day is pbj. Mike out 🍕
Not to post about my favorite knight again but he came out literally to make himself a cup of tea and relax for 2 hours and then he fell asleep and I got pushed into front <3 love ya hels, sweet dreams.
This kind of switching is definitely a weird sensation. He had such a strong defined presence and then he started getting sleepy over time, and that dissociative haze crept in, and then all of a sudden I "fell" into the active consciousness, like when you jolt awake from a dream. I suddenly became aware of what we were doing and when I reached out for him mentally, he was gone.
Most frustrating thing is having competent headmates front at night, make plans for bettering our collective life, and then after we wake up we've switched and they + their motivation are nowhere to be seen
It was good! We had someone visit and talked about life and future goals, and then we sat and had a chill evening with some crochet while watching youtube. We're currently making a shopping bag holder that looks like a possum, all we have left is to make and sew on the legs and ears. Do y'all have any hobbies or projects you're working on?
please eask us questions….we love them…either ones you conjure up from your brain or from either ask post reblog game fuck thing whatever we reblogged…we have no life and r so bored 😭 (I say with an unfinished craft laying directly in front of me)
What's the craft? :O I'm a crocheter and we dabble in embroidery and cross stitching too, and one of our littles wants to make bead bracelets ^^
Also saw in your pinned that you like dinosaurs! What are some of your favorites? Mine is Spinosaurus, and our resident dino lover adores Parasaurolophus for its musical ability :D
we're making some wings for a cosplay! (the rest of the cosplay will prolly never get done hahah) we also make bracelets and occasionally kandi cuffs
our collective favorites are the compsognathus and pyroraptor..unsure if either of those are actual dinosaurs because we're more of a jurassic world and "oh wow cool big lizard" type of dinosaur fan lol
I hope you do end up finishing the cosplay! It's always a delight to get a project completed, especially one you can wear.
Both of those are real dinos :D Pyroraptor Olympius was named bc it was discovered in a forest after a fire and the scientists got nerdy with the theming (since raptor means thief); and Compsognathus Longipes was the first dinosaur discovered that sparked the theory of dinos and birds being related!
I will be reminding this body how to knit and I will be making my own custom PHM fox sweater. I know exactly how I want it to look and the changes I'll need to make but I need to practice colorwork and sweatermaking first so I don't bork anything up. But on god I will have my sweater. Even if it takes 2 years.

thinking about a very specific scenario of a grace with no video logs, with no xenonite failure, who comes back to earth as rocky comes back to erid, heart full but missing a very distinct piece. ten, twenty years go by, and grace is not malnourished nor does he look even half his age, but there's a deepset something in his eyes that has nothing to do with stratt's actions being revealed or the press or adjusting to earth again. about earth getting news of a ship coming down, whose atmosphere is fundamentally different now and causes trouble for that ship. damages sustained on that ship. a red light in the sky. suspected eridian contact as confirmed by dr ryland grace. thank you tom, anna temple here and we're live at nasa's makeshift landing pad, ready to receive, watching- oh, my- a row of officials that cannot pin down ryland grace this time as he, live on air, tears apart every country's anxiety of eridians by ripping from the crowd and jumping the fence into the launching area. a camera pan that judders from dr grace sprinting, the most energetic he's been in years, to a brown eridian kareening towards him in a xenonite suit. prepared to catch ryland's tackle and embrace him properly, there on the green grass, for the very first time. first contact.
I don't know if I can ever thank my primary protector enough for the work he does. I wish I could figure out what he likes so I could give him a gift or something, but he only fronts to do his job, and he never talks about himself. I know he likes writing poetry, but that's it. And he says he doesn't need me to do anything, but that doesn't change the fact that I *want* to. He's extremely important to our collective and he deserves recognition for that.
While writing this Caine chimed in with "I can make him a bracelet!" and I tried to explain that the chance of Helsknight wearing a kandi bracelet is next to none, but then the man himself said "if it would signal to outsiders that your defense is on duty, even without them understanding our way of life, I would wear it." So I guess we have a solution, sort of! A gift he can use while working, that helps him do his job better. I still wish I could do more, but it's hard to think of ways to thank him meaningfully when I hardly know the man; every time he fronts I'm in the middle of a crisis so I can't think clearly.
-Ely 🐞
You think too rigidly of me. I would wear a simple bracelet made for me by a loved one, and I know the ringmaster won't make it gaudy or childish. It will serve a useful purpose, and I will wear it with pride. And aside from that, acknowledging my work is thanks enough. -HK
Damn, it's been a while since we posted. Not really much to say, we're just truckin on. Identified a couple more headmates recently and slime has been a lot more active of late (hi im writing this :p). We also had a night where Luna "fronted", she's not an alter but more of a deity/god who can be invited to share the body for a bit (kind of like spiritual channeling). She shared with us some memories of her time in Equestria, had a cup of tea, and then tucked us into bed.
Oh and we bought white knuckle :] the yters love it but so far we haven't survived past the elevator ascent section. It is such a stressful game.
i feel like i never see my version of "growing up not realising youre plural" from anyone else. i never heard voices in my head or had imaginary friends or anything. for me it was always "wow my brain workd so fast im thinking so many things at once. i must have adhd. also i have thoughts that i cant control. ough intrusive thoughts"
🤝 my headmates were EXTREMELY covert. Every now and then I'll have a memory of my past and be like "wait... that wasn't me was it?" And we all sit around pondering it until someone remembers it from their pov and "claims" it. We were all just trying to keep up the mask of being one person, even those of us who didn't know. It's only since our syscovery that we've been experimenting and embracing our individuality.
