note: the tags i have put are for reaching the right audience i need for this.
so, to start off, i’m not a system and i don’t think i’m experiencing plurality in any way.
i came to tumblr specifically because i know there are people here who have good knowledge and experiences. on reddit people are usually arguing and debating. anyways; for a long time (around 8 years now) i’ve experienced something that i do not know a term for.
i’ll try to explain to my best ability:
i have some sort of connection, that people have called delusion very frequently, on characters, right? i don’t really know how irls work, but i think that could be a tiny bit related from what i’ve seen. i’m not entirely educated because so many sources vary. but get this, also; i have connection to my own form of perception on a character as if it were to be my own version. like an oc? i’m unfamiliar on how to describe but it’s just that it’s not a *specific* character. it can fluctuate as well, on “who” i’m feeling like.
but, here’s the bigger problem; it’s not just one. right now it’s two at a time. i feel like two people at once, overlapping. and i can’t really put my finger on who is mainly taking part. i hate to use the word “who” for it, because once again i don’t believe i’m plural (i have nothing that aligns at all with the concept of plurality). i just don’t know what to use.
and here’s the absolute worst part. please don’t come after me for this or anything, i’m really just trying to navigate this & not trying to seem like a weirdo; a real person (but my own form/version), can also apply to this. i don’t know why. it’s weird, & a music artist!!! wtf. & i get really really nervous bringing this up because i don’t want to look creepy :,-)
if anyone has help, that’d be amazing, and if you have mutuals who might know, please share.

this is a weird question, but is it normal to know your an irl of a character, but get weird like intrusive thoughts telling you ur being ‘out of character’ with something? it’s really hard to describe but i’ll be doing something, and my brain will just tell me “if you were actually an irl of that character you wouldn’t do that” and it makes me super confused cause then i gives me a mini identity crisis.
hopefully this isn’t a weird thing to ask! i’ve just been confused about it for a bit “^^
okay okay i totally got you on this bestie
tl;dr: yes! that is perfectly normal.
here's a complete explanation.
you are going to experience things that won't be considered "canon." you will have memories and mannerisms that aren't exactly like you were in source. that's okay.
if i had a buck for every time i was completely canon accurate, i'd be poorer than i already am. basically, what i can say is this: not all characters have complete backstories, or even personalities. even if they do, it's still really easy to feel like something is right, even when it might not be canon.
so go easy on yourself, okay? it's really normal. everyone i know with an irl could tell you that. if you say it's right, it's right. don't let anyone tell you it's not. not even yourself.
hope this helped :) if anyone has anything to add, feel free to do so in comments or reblogs :)
