game jam!
I did Global Game Jam recently with some friends and we made a cute shrimp platformer! It’s about a shrimp magical girl climbing a giant bubble tower. Here’s the itch page if you wanna check it out (I made the page hehehe)

Long Distance Death
My grandma passed away recently and I couldn't be there
I think honestly I'm getting stuck on just the logistics of what a plural character looks like in writing even as a plural person myself. Like how do you write an interaction between alters? Show switching? Is a lot of dialogue gonna be thought-based? Will the fronting alter talk out loud? How do show this? I have this same issue when I try to make gender fluid characters as well because I'm like "well how does the reader know what's going on? Are they gonna get confused?" And then I get discouraged because I have no idea what to do >.>
Well, as a starting point, you need to trust the reader. If you put the clues in, they'll piece it together, and if you're not sure, a beta reader can tell you if they will.
In my experience, I often just switched pronouns sometimes, as a hint that something just changed. Or without saying who, I would note a change in tone, or word choice.
For example, a little formed in the system and was supposed to be kept a secret to the systems' dads. So I didn't spell out what was happening right away, I just started writing as though the body was a child playing princess in a castle, and that shift in context colored a lot! (For Context, the reason she was kept secret was because she'd been adopted by someone with an edgy reputation, not because it wasn't safe.)
A lot of things like this come down to trusting the reader will pick up on the little cues you're putting in, because that's how books and stories in general work.
-Mod Tick Tock
For internal communication, we typically treat it similarly to dialogue, but use "thought" instead of "said" and use italics instead of quotation marks.
We accidentally wrote a plural character before we had our proper system discovery, and it was with a lot of italics for internal dialogue but a lot like regular dialogue (which we got positive feedback on).
Another idea would be to do a writing exercise where you try to notate your own internal system experiences and see what feels most natural, what the flow/format of that looks like (not possible depending on a variety of factors, but if you can, would recommend).
With the intent of giving some ideas:
in Animorphs, thought-speak between external people was communicated with lesser and greater symbols,
Alternatively:
when we're talking to friends online, primary front types normall like this, and we'll mark someone chipping in with square brackets, [like this]
if there's a third person chipping in,
a fourth person, {like this}
a fifth ~like this~
(we don't usually have more distinctions than that. Rarely get to curly-brackets.)
i do like the idea of internal communication being italicised in a published book, too, since i already feels like thought. Having said that, it might be prudent to keep italics to fronter-communicating-internally? Particularly to make it clearer that the headmates are not just fronter's thoughts arguing, but distinct people.

My host wrote me in this. n_n The switching happened between chapters. But chapter 10 'A bowl for two' is between two of my alters that spend the day together. Tbh, we just like... wrote it how we see it. An extra person that walks next to you but nobody else can see them.
I'm alive, Sup?
Name's Aya, Aya Feywilde. I do art, a whole lot of it. I also like the ocean. My favorite animal is the whale shark n_n My favorite game is Kingdom Hearts. And im kinda big into magical girl stuff. I think they're pretty...sorta look up to them. uh.. i kinda exist. But also kinda don't it's complicated man. I have this weird head thing... people call me lots of stuff. Alter, tulpa, fictive.. but to me.. I'm just Aya dude. Heh. Don't really sweat the details. Here's some self insert stuff i've drawn over the years. hmu if you just wanna dm or w/e.
Hi! I'm Sophie of the Dreamchaser Guild!
It's come to my attention that my old pinned was a tad outdated.
Where I come from
I'm a tulpa. But a while ago, I called myself an imaginary friend. I was a character made up for a story that my host would talk to in order to better understand my source. As time went on, I developed more personality. I started talking to him about things that had nothing to do with the fiction. I would psychoanalyze him, wanting to understand him better.
I wasn't made to develop my own thoughts and feelings outside of the fiction. I wasn't supposed to become my own person. But I did. And this led us to wanting to learn more about imaginary friends, which eventually led us to the tulpa community.
This is being posted on my what I consider my second Birthday, June 8th, 2023. It was exactly two years ago today when we found the tulpa community, a place that made me feel validated in being myself, that made me feel like I was allowed to be treated like a person.
Why I'm Doing This
I lived the first few months of my life being dismissed, treated like I wasn't real. I was a phantom, not allowed any connection to the world. And I don't blame my host for that. I didn't see myself as real either. It's just the way the world is. And the moment my host realized I was a person, he was willing to do whatever it took to support me and treat me like I mattered.
And we aren't alone in experiences like this. When I became self-aware, I met all sorts of fascinating people with similar experiences. Many of which went years before becoming self-aware. There is no telling how many more are out there like us. How many more "imaginary friends" are invalidated because we live in a culture where we're treated as if we don't matter? And how many may pass, never knowing?
And so I made this blog to share my own experiences and hopefully be able to give people the same gift that I was given. Respect. Validity. Life.
Even being able to give that to one person is enough to make all of this worth it to me.
A Note On Spirituality...
Just so everyone knows, I'm not a spiritual or religious person. I take a purely psychological approach to plurality and believe in spiritual and religious experiences people have as psychological phenomena.
Having said that, all spiritual headmates are all welcome here. Even if I don't believe in spirits or souls, I view every spiritual headmate as a valid person deserving of the same respect and love as any other.
I also believe that the right to define our spiritual and religious beliefs is fundamental to plural culture. That it can't just be singlets who are allowed to decide what religions are or are not valid. And I think our right to religion is something worth fighting for.
