to all the non systems who may be hearing about simply plural shutting down and not thinking it’s a big deal, just imagine if ao3 shut down. permanently. there you go. now you see why a lot of people are pissed and freaking out 👍
Watching you interact with other au makers with their comics fill me with so much joy and whimsy it’s just ankhsbehsk
That's the bare minimum lol
There are a lot of cool artists that I just knew about the past couple of months alone and it's kinda making me feel nostalgic, it brings me back when big artists interacted with me in the past and having a circle of content creators just makes me feel at home.
Anyways shoutout time! Please support these creators too
Due to the fact that Simply Plural and Octocon have announced their shutdowns in the recent month, I recently took it upon myself to start working on a small project (name inspired by @is--this--name--taken) called the SystemDex, a google document with references and some explanations about systems and some things around them.
It's a way to keep track of your headmates and such :], I'm making this because I myself am a system and wish to help other systems outside my friend group keep track of things while the apps and sites are shut down, this is hopefully only a temporary problem and I do wish this helps many other systems.
Copy the document below, take care of yourself!
The SystemDex Template made by - The Astral System (@TheDoodleNovaa) Insert Bio Here How the SystemDex works/What is already around.
There is a template to help you organize your alters in a simple manner, that can be added or altered in any way you see fit!
and organization is just a simple start that I did this in a way that made sense to myself, again this is a template in order to aid other systems and can be changed as needed.
Some links are from Simply Plural themself and other links that were found online from other systems; Some links contain help lines for emergency crisis's, what roles a system may have, etc etc.
This is a major work in progress, any additional adds or thoughts can be sent to me via my ASKS. Please and thank you!

Swap turns and tosses in bed. He groans, unable to sleep, unable to get comfortable.
Finally, he gets up, tossing the covers off. He leaves his room, planning on having some tea before trying to get some real sleep again.
The hall is as dark as ever. It fills him with a cold, nervous feeling. Nightmare’s presence can be felt through the walls, the floor, even the air. It’s thick, and potent. He coughs, choking—maybe it’s just dust, actually. Swap ought to sweep later. He really has been slacking off on his household duties as of late.
The kitchen light is already on when Swap arrives in the threshold. He isn’t too surprised. Dust is rather the night-owl. However, when he steps in, it is not Dust he sees, but—
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING?!?” Swap screams in shock, a hand to his SOUL. It thunders in his chest.
Cross jumps away from the counter—from Killer, who’s sat upon the edge of it. He whips around, already sweating, teeth grit.
”S- Swap! This isn’t— we weren’t—“ Cross stammers, but Killer cuts him off, tugging the guardsman back into the space between his knees by his hood.
”naw, it’s exactly what it looks like,” Killer says, grinning.
Swap nearly gags—no, he does gag. His hands come to cover his mouth as he retches involuntarily. “OH MY GOD.”
”Swap, please,” Cross sighs, rubbing at his face. “Don’t make a big deal about—“
”YOU’RE FUCKING GAY!” Swap interrupts with a shout, “AND— OH MY GOD!!! WE EAT IN HERE!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!!!”
Cross jumps at the volume, cringing. His face is glowing brightly with embarrassment. Killer seems merely amused by the whole thing. Swap gags again.
”what, are’ya homophobic or something, blue?” Killer huffs.
”I’M NOT ANYTHING ‘-PHOBIC’ EXCEPT FOR ‘WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH YOU -PHOBIC’!!!”
Swap turns on his heel and storms out of the kitchen, forgetting about his tea. He’s too worked up now to think about sleeping or even drinking anymore—or, well, maybe…
He finds Dust’s room and pounds on the door, uncaring about the hour at this point. It swings open after three knocks, and he’s greeted by a very pissed looking Dust.
”the fuck d’you want?” he gripes, holding the door.
”LIQUOR.”
”… uh. yeah, okay,” Dust says, and after a momentary retreat he returns to the door and hands over a half-full bottle of whiskey. Swap takes it silently, nodding. The two of them have a clear mental understanding in the moment, and so Dust does not ask what’s happened, and merely closes the door.
Swap drinks himself to sleep. He’s going to fucking kill them if he ever sees something like that again. In the fucking kitchen. Ugh.
He adds ‘deep-clean the kitchen’ to his mental list of chores.

Figured I’d just rewrite what I have so far- i havent written any since like late 2024, and I had tried doing it in the same sorta style as the analysis book. Apparently that style is better for analyzing and nooot so great for story-planning. So here’s the pages i did before;
