Something I think needs to be addressed in plural spaces is the whole "introjects aren't their source" thing.

No, it does not mean "introjects should not identify with their source", it means introjects shouldn't be treated as their source.

Also, what may be a problematic ship in canon may not be a problematic ship in the system. For example, if a Valentino fictive and an Angel Dust fictive were dating, that's fine (as long as it's mutual). I remember [the headmate I'm dating] tell me "Hey, I don't think posting about our relationship would be the best thing to do, as some people might see it as you shipping our sources." Now, me bein' all 'who's gonna give a shit, we ain't puttin' the fandom tags', I reassured [headmate] that it'd be fine.

We proceeded to get blocked by several people in our source's fandom due to hinting at our relationship.

Despite very clearly putting our system tag and not the fandom tag, some people still thought "hey, this reminds me of [person/character] so they must be shipping [person/character]."

Like... "introjects aren't their source" until there's a relationship involving introjects whose sources would/should/could not be shipped.

As a source-convergin' fictive, I'd like to say: fuck y'all who still think this shit. Like, ya think I deal with introject dysphoria for the sake of roleplayin'? (Also, role-playing as real people is insensitive and our system is well-aware of that. Hell, we've introjected people who are the bane of our existence.)

ok, question about bending

so if a bender were plural, would their bending type (water, earth, fire, air) vary on the fronter? or would it be one bending type but different styles/subtypes would come more naturally depending on the fronter (fire: lightining, combustion; water: healing, bloodbending; you get the point)?

i've always wondered ever since i took a bunch of tests and got firebending, but one of my headmates did the same tests and got airbending. also considering the former host would probably have been a waterbender (their name is literally ice. it's too obvious)

nah because something we realized is that people will fakeclaim until someone brings up the "traumatic enough for [person's] opinion to count". like literally that's all it takes. someone getting told they need to stop pretending they're a system? just get someone pullin out the "yeah my uncle put me through cold-war cia interrogation tactics for the hell of it" somewhere and bam, the haters agree with the person being fakeclaimed. it's actually kinda sad. anyways non-traumagenics this is your reminder to pull out the bat signal if you need us traumagenics to back you up in an argument ah bean-toe /lh -circu

plural terms in french lolz

ok so like, i was in french class bored as hell and i thought "hey. what if i tried to tell my teacher i was plural in french" and so here you go, some miscellaneous plural-related terms, bone apple teeth introject terms: fictive = un fictif (m./n.) une fictive (f.) des fictifs (m. pl.) factive = un factif (m./n.) une factive (f.) des factifs (m. pl.) songtive = un chansontif (m./n.) une chansontive (f.) des chansontifs (m. pl.) group terms in french! (these have already been coined/discovered, i just want to put this list out there for any plurals learning french) system = un système collective = un collectif plural = pluriel ----- traumagenic = traumagenique (?) endogenic = endogenique othergenic = autregenique mixed origin/multigenic = multigenique ------ to say your collective/system name in french, you put the name after the word system/collective/etc. so for example, instead of saying "the lemon collective", you'd say «le collectif citron» (lit: the collective lemon), since the system/collective name doesn't follow the BAGS-exception rule and is thus put after the word "collective"/"system". [same thing with «système», you'd say «le système citron» (lit: the system lemon)] ------ "i&" in french: i'm not sure if any plural francophones use «je&» (when typing), however you could always just say «je» or «nous», then again i haven't encountered a plural francophone so that rule isn't set in stone for the time being. ----------- i may add stuff to this as i go along! (also i'm typing this on a weekend without my french study notes so like, i'll update this when i can and also to make it more concise) a+! / see ya! -circu(🎧)

to all my aspiring actors that have not been on stage yet. i have some tales of times when i was on stage.

romeo and juliet (may 2024): -messed up like, a bunch of lines and stuttered a bit (as long as you play it off no one will notice anything wrong) -blocking was shit on one of the nights (made up for it via actions/dialogue clarity) -was kinda quiet (just be louder next time, that's all that matters) -couldn't find the vial for like half a minute and i was worried they didn't put it there (pretended to play it off as hesitating to give the vial) -had a paralyzing ptsd episode on one of the nights right before the doors opened (and i will not stress this enough: always rely on your fellow cast and production members. they are there for you.) -had a really upset stomach (just don't eat dairy or whatever you're intolerant to prior to performance night/day. or if you do make sure to take a pill or something to help with it, like a lactese/lactaid)
