Sera: Do you like employment?
Vessel: Yuck.
Vessel is a difficult little cunt. He does not like writing. He does not like designing. He does not like job searching.
Sera: Is there anything you do like, you ungrateful little shit?
Vessel: LEARNING DRUMS!!!
Sera: Well that’s not exactly in our budget right now, Is it?!
CW: plural vent, body dysmorphia trigger
Plurality but any time one of us is actually fully here (fronting ig) we feel like our skin is burning us from the inside and like our body wants to vomit that part out.
Cw: suicidality
Being midcontinuum is so fucking funny cuz the voices in my head be like:
And I’m like I guess watching bojack is more productive than feeling guilty… any others ideas?… no? Ok >:/
Reanna: Does anyone else determine who's fronting based on who's talking the most internally? We can't use disconnection because we lack separation. Another thing we use for determination is seeing which headmate is also doing our physical actions internally.
is there a term for not being fully singlet or fully plural but a secret, third thing? if so could you make a positivity post for that 👉👈
the best way i can describe it is like being the princess from slay the princess. there are core parts of "me", but "me" right now may not be the same "me" 5 minutes later. at "my" most blended i am one person at a time, slowly shifting between each identity. but at "my" most separate, its like a bunch of alters switching for when they are needed. code switching is much more exaggerated, and trying to stay as one or wholly separated is much more harmful to "my" sense of "self" than to let it be fluid.
to help further clarify, it is much closer to [and i believe in some scenarios IS] corpus callosum seperation than dissociative disorders in experience. those that have had partial or full defects in the corpus callosum since birth have reported having both sides of the brain as [sometimes only partially] separate entities‚ but make up the whole person. even if the sides were separated later in life, both sides working independently can show like separate people piloting the same body, even if they are supposed to be working as one.
i want others like "me" to know that their inbetween existence is valid, and that they shouldn't need to feel that they need to be just a singlet or fully plural. peace and love on the planet earth 🫶
(sorry if i messed up terminology. turns out that explaining psychological and sometimes otherwise medical phenomenon is hard)
Hello, yes, we do believe there is a term for this. We have heard both the terms "plurallet" and "plural singlet" which describe the experience of being both plural and a singlet at once. Additionally, the terms "median" and "midcontinuum" exist to describe those whose plural experiences exist somewhere between singlet and fully separated. Median plurality covers a very broad range of experiences, and very well could encompass that which you are describing. We would recommend looking into all of these terms in order to determine which accurately describes what you are feeling and experiencing in your life.
If you live with corpus callosum separation, agenesis of the corpus callosum, or some other degree of corpus callosum complications, we are wondering if it could be possible for you to seek out community with others who have experienced this. There's actually a little subreddit, r/corpuscallosum, for people who live with these conditions and parents of children who have them. That may be a good place to start if you're aiming to connect with fellow folks with complications involving their corpus callosums.
If not, though, we do think the terms we described at first would be a good place to start. Rest assured, you do not need to be fully separated or fully plural in order to belong in the plural community. We hope you can find what you're looking for and can one day feel a sense of belonging within our spaces just the way you are. We also do have a positivity post for plural singlets - we’ll link it here:

tbh i think i might be median system cause i really do feel like im somewhere between multiple and singlet, so uh yeah idk what to do now 🧍
Had an experience a week or so ago that made me start questioning if ‘I’ was actually a ‘we’, now im trying to get more resources. At the moment, in incredible amounts of denial and refusal, since I’ve never been someone who thought they experienced dissociation or dissociative amnesia, nor do I feel any trauma I’ve gone through is ‘bad enough’ for smth like this, but from what I’ve seen that’s a fairly common plural experience. So, im really curious about median systems, I think is the right term for it. Was wondering if there were any resources on what it /feels/ like? I don’t think I fit a lot of the symptoms or criteria for this, but the last time I thought that I ended up getting an official diagnosis years down the line for the thing I didn’t think I had simply because it ‘wasn’t bad enough’ etc, and im now very hesitant to brush off a strong feeling like this. I don’t know, anything would help, really. Thank you
(I did also send this ask to uniquely-plural, I hope I’m not overstepping. I’m not trying to scam, im just a little bit scared and looking for direction. Sorry. Thank you)
Hiya! We don’t think sending the same ask to multiple blogs to get different takes and advice is a bad thing at all! We hope the lovely folks at uniquely-plural can have some helpful guidance for y’all! :33 honestly we think it’s a great thing when seeking advice to hear from as many folks as possible!
Our biggest post with resources for questioning systems is our resource post for questioning systems, hehe >w< we’ll go ahead and link it since there’s bound to be something listed which could be helpful for you!
Our old post with resources is out of date and doesn’t have that much information, so we’ve decided to put this together! Please let us know
As far as specific advice or experiences regarding median systems… we don’t have any specific advice or experiences for you because we aren’t a median system at all. So sorry!! But the blog @median-culture-is is an active blog for median systems, and they might be willing to share a bit about what their experiences are like! You could also scroll through that blog to see what sorts of experiences folks have sent in as culture asks! Feel free to also check out the “#median system” tag here on tumblr for more personal experiences from median systems! >w<
From what we know about median (aka midcontinuum) systems, they exist somewhere between being a singlet and being fully separated individuals. There’s a huge, probably limitless variety of ways a median system can look! There’s no official symptoms or criteria for what makes a system median, other than the fact that they identify with that term and it works well to describe their multiplicity :3 Here’s the pluralpedia entry for median systems in case you could benefit from it!
A median system (also called midcontinuum) is a system where members are not as distinct or separate from each other. It can be considered b
Also, we feel like it’s worth mentioning that you totally can be a system even without a history of repeated or extensive childhood trauma! Being plural simply means experiencing life as more than one, and many folks out there identify as plural even without having a dissociative disorder like DID or OSDD! We’ll include a couple more posts for you. One included our personal experiences with dissociative amnesia, and the other is our post on dealing with denial! Hopefully these posts can help answer some of your questions or help put your mind at ease a little bit :3
Our thoughts and experiences, and some resources to learn more. Hello everyone! We’ve gotten a few asks recently wondering about amnesia in
We’ve gotten a few asks about dealing with denial as a system, so we wanted to put together a post that we can reference in the future. Den
Also also like… trauma is trauma! If it affects you, it affects you. There’s no, like, trauma scale or certain experiences that are objectively bad enough to cause a system to form!! Every person is unique and some people respond to trauma in unique ways. So, like, please don’t downplay your own trauma history!! Besides, it really is a common occurrence for trauma survivors to believe that their trauma history wasn’t all that traumatic, or that they should be fine because other people have had it worse. Please just spend some time validating your experiences and giving yourself/selves a chance to rest and heal!
We hope we’ve touched on everything in your ask in our response! Do please get in touch again if there’s anything we missed or if you have any other questions for us at all. We’re wishing you the very best with figuring out more about yourself and your potential multiplicity!! Have a great day! :33
