A Collection of Joyous Momentos

The Liminal Archive's Blog

[liminal-archive]

Hi, we're the Liminal Archive!

Largely, we're here because more than a few of our members wanted to be able to talk as themselves, and also talk about plural experiences, so we made a blog ^^

~-~

We used to be a fairly large system, but, after system collapse, there's about 5 of us we're aware of, so here are their intros:

Kit: I'm the host of the sys, transmasc, he/him pronouns, otherkin, aroace-spec (though oriented towards men when I do feel attraction). [Will sign-off posts with -Kit]

Flare: Flareon/Flare, i appear in-sys as a flareon, no clue why but thats where my name comes from. he/him pronouns, i am aroace. im an "angry" part of the system, idk, im the most functional one here but that doesnt mean i have to be nice about it -_- [Will sign-off posts with -Flare and -Flareon]

Havoc/Nikolhaus (Nee-coal-owse): He/any, wants to be included and will make a bio whenever he's back

Salem: Mmmm hi everyone! im salem, ny/nyx/nyx's/nyx's/nyxself pronouns, im a system little i think, im also a cat otherkin n im prety chill :D [Will sign-off posts with -Salem] Cody: What's up folks. They/he, uhh no clue what my role is I'm just kinda here [oh yeah i'll sign off with -Cody]

Emmett: you can also call me Emmy. am a little :( and sad [sign off -Emmett] ~-~

Otherwise, please DNI if you're going to be an asshole, keep in mind that the body is a minor and so are most of us, generally be nice. If anyone cares (for some reason), we're mixed origins. Block us if you don't like us or just want to bring up syscourse, this blog is entirely about sharing things that make us happy. no exceptions, just joy

EDIT: DNI if you use theyfab. DNI if you don't listen to intersex people or use the h slur. I'm so tired of this.

Mildly inconvenient plurality is having one member decide to keep all of our writing plans in their brain! Without writing it down! And we have great memory sharing but c'mon, couldn't you have written down the vague ideas of the plot? /lh

Don’t forget the latest version, Ten Years

[a-real-human-person-not-fake]

@vividaway​ Randall Munroe is an internet cartoonist who runs the ‘xkcd’ online comic series, which has run from 2006 up to today, with new comics every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Xkcd isn’t an ongoing story, just a series of funny, wholesome, depressing, or oddly scientifically informative comics.

In 2010, Randall’s fiance was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. He didn’t share too many details at first, but things tended to bleed into his comics: sometimes funny, sometimes sad.

Often in this time, other cartoonists would write in guest comics for Randall, or he’d put in short filler pieces, to try and fill space while nonstop cancer treatments took up most of his time.

In 2012, he posted a comic called ‘Two Years’, about the time since the diagnosis. It’s the one that hasn’t yet been posted here (although parts of it are included in the other comics), and it commemorates some of the things that had happened in the two years since the diagnosis.

There are representations of Randall and his fiance being together for her treatment, worrying together, traveling the world, and getting married. It’s still depressing, but it’s a lot more hopeful, showing how they’ve still managed to have happy moments together, and things will still get better.

Themes of cancer continued in xkcd, but they increasingly became less about fear and nihilism, and more about hope, or just cool facts related to cancer.

At the top of this post is the comic posted in 2017: Seven Years. In it, Randall and his wife are traveling more, trying to have fun and continue old and new hobbies, with cancer ever-present in the background of it all. At the end, the two of them observe the 2017 solar eclipse, and despite all the uncertainty that comes with the thought of another seven years, agree to watch the 2024 eclipse together too.

There are just about no cancer comics between that one and the most recent comic, the one I posted: Ten Years, written in 2020. It’s by far the most hopeful of the three in the little series: the two of them are happy, they’re playing with rabbits and riding on handcarts and going out hiking and stargazing, together. At the end, Ten Years breaks the format with a conversation in which they talk about how unbelievable it is that it’s been so long, and share their worries as well as their hopes. It even ends on a much more lighthearted joke about immortality.

It’s a good comic. Definitely in my top two comics wherein internet cartoonists express emotions about an illness suffered by their wife.

“The ten-year cancerversary is traditionally the Cursed Artifact Granting Immortality anniversary.” -Randall Munroe.

And now, at long last, Fifteen Years:

Literally had the hugest discussion/argument about this very topic at my family gathering yesterday. Very divisive subject. Most of the older people (50+ years old) said yes, while others said ‘absolutely not, what fresh hell?’

i love poison control. one time i was eating soup and i found glass in it (??? we to this day have no idea how) and i called them like "i might've swallowed a lot of glass" and they were like "without noticing?" and i was like "the pieces were small and i wasn't chewing because it was soup" and they said "oh what kind of soup?" and i said "butternut squash. i made it!" and they said, "did you...put the glass in there?"

one of us loves grinding in minecraft. one of us dislikes it. one of us is ambivalent to it. all of that trio has fronted today and it's been vaguely disorienting for such a small thing. literally just a preference. but i was sitting there like "i think... im the same guy as earlier?" and then got hit with "wow this is boring. when do we get to build things." and immediately was like. well that's not me who am i

You're not faking even if you're happy about it

You're not faking even if you're neutral about it

You're not faking even if it's all you talk about

You're not faking even if you don't have amnesia

You're not faking even if you can or can't talk to your headmates

You're not faking even if you have a high or low headcount

You're not faking even if talking about it makes you sad

You're not faking even if you have aphantasia

You're not faking even if you don't have a headspace

You're not faking even if you make headmates

You're not faking even if you and or your system weren't formed because of trauma

You're not faking even if you form a new headmate everytime something happens

You're not faking even if all your headmates are similar and or agree on the same things

You're not faking even if you like being called a system

You're not faking even if you don't like being called a system

None of these mean you are faking. You are valid! I love you!

maybe plurality is keeping different wallpapers ready so different folks can feel more at home in this life. Maybe plurality is gently taking someone’s hand in yours, even though both hands belong to the same body. Maybe plurality is calling out goodnight to the person that’s taking over for you as you slowly slip out of the conscious for the night. Maybe plurality is putting on the perfume your headmate likes because she’s definitely going to be helping you get through the day.

maybe plurality is kindness. A kindness of the brain extended to a tiredness of the soul.

maybe it’s casual. Maybe it’s gentle. Maybe we’re all still learning how to live with each other. Maybe we don’t have to be anything complicated and explainable. Maybe plurality just… is.

Dragonplatonic - When one experiences platonic attraction similar to that of a dragon. A dragonplatonic person may be able to have a friendship with someone (who they are usually picky about), then leave for a long period of time, only to pick back up later as if no time has passed. This does not come from malice or forgetfulness: the dragonplatonic person remembers their friend and will come back to see them again later. Platonic relationships of this kind are characterized by the periods of inactivity between.

This may be related to otherkinity/draconity, but is not necessary. Anyone can use the label.

(this flag and term are a gift for my headmate maxi; but if a similar term has been coined, consider this an alt flag)

why did we make this

[poliwhirl-plurplexed]

Something kind of unique about our system I guess: welcoming dates. A lot of our headmates have been around for a long time, but the details of when they were "born" are fuzzy. So we have welcoming dates for when they were welcomed into the system and named. :)

mildly inconvenient plurality is “did i just switch? i feel like this alter but wait, if i’m that alter then who was fronting two seconds ago??”
