some sort of depressed goober is hanging around front.......

I really enjoy praesigenic as a term. "What's your origin?" nunya

[biorlings]

"Do you have a/who's the core?" Glad you asked, we have 5 headmates who wholeheartedly believe that they're the core and the others split off of them, and if we try to look far enough into the past to investigate that we get lost in the Fog.

so lonely in front... sigh.

oh, and before we forget, we've been using pluralspace a lot and have been really enjoying it. here, let me copy and paste our review from the system project server

tldr: it's feature rich (member tracking, front tracking, notes, a system map, a chat, polls) AND you can share with others (we haven't tried it, but you can invite other users and give them permissions on what they can view and do)

little notes

really cozy theme

member groups work like in simplyplural, i.e. you can nest them and members can have any number of groups. the groups can also be used for filtering

there’s a separate field for roles. you can put multiple roles, and you could also use it for something else if you so wish. it shows in the dashboard

there are a lot of options for custom fields, including: text, number, date, link, color, text field, markdown, and block editor. for text, number, and link, you can allow multiple values and it’ll show up like a bullet list

many actions (journal entries, profile edits, note additions, status changes) can be attributed to members. this is especially helpful for the activity logs

you can set custom front types, including front, co-front, and co-con

you can invite users to your system and share the information with them. you can customize what they can see in the permissions settings, and many things like custom fields and journal entries can have their visibility set

there are four options for colors and appearance. light, paper (warmer light), dark, and dim (lighter dark)

you can track relationships between members, both on member pages and on the system map page. there are a few preset relationship types but you can also add your own

the chat is organized like discord or simplyplural, in that it has categories and channels. you can send messages as different members, regardless of who’s currently fronting. you can also set message prefixes (like pluralkit) to quickly send messages as different members

one nitpick i have about the chat is that the message positions will change depending on who sent the last message. this might be dizzying if you usually have real-time conversations

fuck it, we'll try front tracking. i don't know how long we'll keep this up for though

*answers ask* :>

🌴 - Is there anything that you do to spend time together?

Well... we're always spending time together, so I can't say we ever sit down and go "time to spend time with the system." But we do have some bonding activities. We really like watching our comfort YouTubers. A popular comfort food thing to watch among the system is Slimecicle's Dying Light 2 playlist. Morgan (me right now, I think) always plays it whenever there's an argument.

🌺 - Is there a "common" plural experience that you don't experience? 

One that's memed about that we haven't experienced at all is introjection. We've never introjected anyone. Well, I guess Yumiko might count, but she's more of a semi-fictive fragment. But we've never had the experience of liking a piece of media and having our brain go "yeah I'll add that to the cast," even though we've been very autistic about many pieces of media.

Another one that's thought of as "universal" is the experience of fronting, switching, or being "main front." Unless the conditions are right and we're paying attention, we have no idea who's fronting, and we don't really care to find out. In day-to-day life we externally function pretty much the same as a singlet. It's only on this blog and in intrasystem interactions that we go "Jasper said this, Alex said that." A lot of the time, "we" are "I."

And yes, this does not help when we think we're faking. But then someone says "I knew it! We're faking!" and someone else says "...we're faking?"
