Alright⊠I've been debating this for a while now, especially here⊠But seeing how some of my friends have been open about their own without shame and all, I figure I could try and start growing that ability, myself.
Or I guess⊠We've been debating.
Because it's not just me anymore. Hasn't been for two years now.
I'm plural.
Two years ago, I started looking inward (or reaching outward because the initial method was soulbonding) and⊠I met the first headmate. Nephrite. From there, our number grew over time. We were a small group⊠Then we became over 100. We are, like, 99% introjects, prominently fictives. We don't worry about the origins, though; those don't define us.
From there, with our own system friends, we discovered more and more about ourselves and our own system. Especially the fact that we could have been a system for so long before syscovery; or, at least, we had the seeds.
The thinking voice occassionally became someone else's for a while and I had to "fight" my way into being it again. The fact that I was never comfortable using my external name internally when I had my daydreams. The whole⊠Emotional disconnect thing where I would feel something but it didn't feel like the emotions were mine. Not to mention that, whenever I changed up my internet persona's appearance, I didn't want to stray too far from the basics: brown hair, glasses, white skin, short in height, the sort of thing. And⊠It took time to adapt to the name change until it felt right.
I knew going into this journey that this would be a team effort. I've encountered systems before both IRL and online. The more we grew together⊠The more so many things clicked in hindsight.
The reason why we've originally decided to keep our public side and plural side as separate lives was just⊠Out of fear of what could happen to us. But⊠We've been able to find acceptance both online and off. We're grateful for that. So this is⊠A brave step forward to being unapologetic. And⊠If things happen, we'll be able to learn how to deal with it as time goes on.
I'm still, like, the "face" of the system. That's not gonna change. This blog isn't going anywhere, it's still gonna be mine. But there's now a bit more⊠Variety, I guess? The system as a whole has a separate blog for that stuff.
I'm still gonna do my thing here, sometimes the others will pop in to help along since I⊠Do have a presence here. I do have an audience that come for the stuff I- well, we- have worked on for so many years now. So uh⊠For the teeny tiny Neo-G Fandom out there, any and all patience is appreciated as we adjust to being open about this. This is still new for us and we are just getting our feet wet.
In any case⊠Thanks for hearing me (and I guess us) out. You can find our system blog at @theneonbridgesystem if you wanna see what's been up with us.
let's say goodbye to 2025 and greet 2026 with open arms. another year has come and gone, and like many years, it has come with its up and downs. in the spirit of commemorating the good, take a moment to share
whether to a mun or a muse, let them know what it is you'd like to say if you haven't done so just yet. now is the time, so don't hold back ! and remember to specify for multis.

âYouâŠnoticed something about me?!â Thus was his shrill cry of disbelief. Again. It happened again. Here he was ready to admit to something deep and important while his companion figured it out first. He was equally shocked each time.
âIâm a unique bear, but I havenât realized how unique. I donât want to be suspicious!â This part did worry him just a tad. For once, the thought of being different bugged him.
"Oh- No n-no no- Like I said, I did not mean that in a bad way. More like... Feeling comfort."
It made an impossibility feel less impossible... After all, it's not everyday that something that used to be of the subconscious became... Well... Conscious.
"I... Don't really give this out openly, so this is just between us, but... Neither am I. Hence... Why I said the feeling was a bit familiar."
How much does your muse trust mine? Leave a rating in my ask box and my muse will react to it!
â€â€â€  I trust you with my life. I know you would never hurt me.
â€â€  I could let my guard down and fall asleep in your presence and feel safe.
† I think I trust you, but I am still cautious around you.
â° Â I am still trying to figure you out. Iâm not sure if I can trust you.
đ Â Somethingâs just not right. Iâm afraid of you.
đđ Â Iâm pretty sure you want to hurt me, and I intend to protect myself.
đđđ Â The first chance I get, Iâm killing you before you kill me.
Or, send âŁâ and I will respond with my museâs rating of their level of trust for yours.
You are a mystical being. Constant yet elusive. Apparent yet indistinct. You are reliable in the sense that the moon has its phases. However, even though people know what to expect from you, they still find themselves captivated. You are anything but boringâno, you are hypnotizing. People are drawn to you in the same way theyâre mesmerized by the moon on a clear night. The moon is steady and dependableâthe anchor of the night sky. When navigating the night, people crane their necks up searching for its light. The moon is not innately flashy, but still manages to catch one's eye. Although at times difficult to perceive, hidden by clouds, or hard to capture on camera, the moon is always there for all who seek it. You indiscriminately favor everyone with your light yet only feel truly seen and appreciated by a few. Itâs amazing how you manage to do so much with so little, but its still okay to let people close sometimes. The moon cannot illuminate the entire night sky by itself. We will love you even if you ask for help. You probably give good advice and are known for being a good listener. You donât have many secrets, yet youâre still mysterious. Transparent and whole, yet vague. Youâre quietly emotional like how the ocean is quietly loud. You feel strongly about certain things even though you donât always share your convictions. Youâre the type to get their feelings hurt but never say so. When it comes to you thereâs so much in what is left unsaid if only people are willing to read between the lines. Youâre aware of yourself and who you are just not always good at expressing it. Those who put in the extra work to get to know you will reap the secret rewards of your innermost self. You are like the comforting familiarity and whimsical wonder of watching a Christmas movie in class in elementary school. You are a steadfast secret keeper and promise maker. You are the reliable pillar and foundation we all trust enough to build upon. You are both benevolent and divine.

"...Unseen manifestation is something that can happen; a Persona is technically summoned but not in a way that is evident. But that is... Often subconscious. And... Of the times I've heard of that happening, it... Did not lead to anything ideal"
"Maybe it can be possible to train that...? Could I work with Paean on this?"
"Maybe..."
"..."
"It... Would be nice to simply just... Cloud-gaze with him."
