being trans and plural is like…yeah. I think I’m transfem. yeah, the body’s afab. no, it’s not really my body. I don’t know. it doesn’t cancel out.

[pawsome-plurality]

I’m so curious. What’s a character you headcanon as a system who doesn’t have any “canonical evidence”? No mind palaces, no possession, no dark reflection, none of the tropes commonly seen in plural headcanons. A character who is a perfect example of “source: I made it the fuck up”

Ours is Pico from Pico’s School

[semiplural]

A lot of people in our inbox ask whether their experiences are normal.

First: Normal does not equal good or bad, healthy or disordered. Normal means that something is accepted or statistically common for a given population. It doesn't make an experience more or less real. It just means you might see it more or less often.

Second: Normal is relative. Different groups of people will have different experiences and opinions, and what's normal for one person can be abnormal for someone else.

Because the normality of something depends on who you're comparing yourself to, and because people have a lot of different norms and opinions...

At some point, your experiences are absolutely going to be abnormal to others. They'll be weird, unusual, hard to explain. They might be normal in one place and extremely abnormal somewhere else.

It doesn't have to be normal to exist.

[slightly-sigilant]

Seconding this, and I'll also add: when you find yourself asking "is this normal?" it might be helpful to take a step back, and figure out which question you're really asking, and figure out which questions are more useful to ask.

For example: a lot of people asking "is my experience normal?" are actually asking "is it valid for me to experience this?" They want reassurance that what they're experiencing is Real and that they're not a Badwrong Faker. Frankly speaking, not only is "is this normal?" not a very useful question for this situation (as said by OP, whether something is normal doesn't mean it's good or bad), neither is "is this valid?" Your experiences are your experiences. They are not going to go away just because they're more or less common in a given population, nor are they going to go away just because someone else told you they aren't real.

Some questions to consider asking instead:

How is this affecting your life and others' lives? How many of those effects are from the experience itself? (as opposed to cultural stigma, other people's reactions, your personal reactions, etc)

How do you feel about the experience, and why? What is driving you to seek validation?

What can you do about what you're experiencing? (Other than kick it into a box and pretend it doesn't exist. That tends to not work.) What kind of support do you need?

[crimsonflock]

Being a system is so fucking funny because it's like "Oh, you were an old man in source? A literal immortal god or whatever? Too bad, you're Gen Z now. Yes, you understand all the slang and will be using it on the regular, enjoy!"

Spain is somehow capable of making every opponent look just as bad while never really shining themselves

Actually, I rather like being trans

[mollyjames]

I suppose being cis would be nice and all, but it doesn’t quite have the same “I will sieze Destiny by the throat and force it into the shape of my choosing” kind of verve

[houndmother]

many of you just. genuinely don’t believe that people can grow and change.

[houndmother]

this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.
