(trying to explain plurality) So you know uh? the father son and the holy spirit...?

[thedaygoesupinflames]

number one issue of being a median/mediple system is the way it all feels fake until it doesnt for like three fucken seconds and then it feels like it isnt real again

[pride-stars]

Mediple : a system, sisasystem, or cluster that is decidedly both median and multiple. They may share closeness of mind, shared identity as each other, similar personalities, a single train of thought, or other characteristics, but distinctly identify as full-fledged and (semi-)separate people, and multiple in nature, despite not being partitionary by general means.

So for some time, we thought we were most likely a median system, but it still didn't seem entirely correct... Then we discovered mediple

Mediple is a mix of being median and multiple: having closeness of mind / thoughts, identity, personality, and possibly more, while still being distinct individuals who are ( semi- ) seperate from one another.

Hearing this changed our whole view about plurality and helped us understand ourselves ( and why we tend to switch between " i " and "we" even in the same sentence ) a lot more! There's not a lot of representation for mediples online, but hopefully sharing this will help others figure themselves out, as well as spread the awareness of these types of systems!

Y'know, funny... That median subsys of ours sounds more mediple now but we forgot the term existed. Somehow.

There needs to be more representation or more posts from mediple plurals cuz we legit forgot there's extra nuances between median and multiple (even when we've referenced the spectrum of plurality in a lot of our responses and used the term mediple too).

Would be cool if we could find more mediple experiences to share on here guys.

hai I've been thinking about this loads and it's starting to annoy the others (/lh) so I'm posting it here heh?? :3

I am my headmates

I am my headmates in that I eat prawn cocktail crisps even though I can't stand the taste, because they like them. I am my headmates in that I am drawn to bright colours because they are. I am my headmates in that I listen to our main playlist on shuffle and try to guess who added what. I am my headmates in that we have monopoly in our room for impromptu game nights. I am my headmates in that I subconsciously avoid certain clothing, because I know it is theirs. I am my headmates in that I hug myself, knowing I am also hugging them. I am my headmates in that their dreams are my dreams, their fears are my fears, their memories are my memories, they are me and I am them, they are themselves and I am myself. I am my headmates and my headmates are me

Harry DuBois from Disco Elysium is a mediple proxy system/plural!

[PT: Harry DuBois is a mediple proxy system/plural!]

Requested by @azzysflowergarden (as a mediple proxy system), @vvlxenn (as just plural), and anon (as a median system).

Elaboration by @azzysflowergarden: "He is canonically shown to have 24 'voices' in his head (seperate from himself) that have thoughts and feelings individually, but they all influence how he processes things.

These thoughts can work together or fight, being able to both talk directly with each other and Harry himself (all internally).

I don't know if he ever talks about the attributes (what they're called) to anyone else though. It's a choose-your-own game with every tiny decision you make influencing your playthrough, so there could be a line out there that I just haven't heard."

Elaboration by anon: "in source he’s got these ‘states’ that aren’t explicitly mentioned or defined to be Him per se, but it’s pretty clear that they’re essentially him*. and he talks to them and argues with them and they talk to him and argue with him. and there’s a bunch of them. so plural beam LMAO. also the guy has got retroactive amnesia from drinking and the ‘states’ have information on memories/details he doesn’t.

Although the states don’t properly ‘front’ at all, harry’s got Something plural about him,, trust me,,

*him as in possessive of certain specific traits that originally belonged to Harry [pre-amnesia i assume] and solely those traits, rather than possessive of his central identity."

Plural flag only and median/plural versions below cut.

Mixed origin/multigenic mediple flag

Being a mediple that works similarly to modular systems sucks sometimes...

We never know who we are (that when we even are someone)... And it feels pretty lonely too, as most plural spaces are mostly composed of multiples or those with similar experiences to them. And also because there's just a vague feeling of company and innerlove; there's not much inner communication or inner relationships to have when you're a bunch of temporary starmates.

Not even mentioning being maskbased and not having an updated mask/flare to use while meeting new people by ourselves, one that doesn't make us dysphoric and/or more prone to dissociation...

I wish we were more constant than temporary. I wish we could have more inner company. I wish things were easier... I wish it was different.
