i wanna be both plural and a streamer but i don't want to be a plural educator at all if that makes sense. i don't wanna explain how plurality works to twitch chatters, i just wanna be plural and my main thing i do is minecraft building and roleplay.
the experience of growing up with imaginary friends and spending years hiding in daydreams just to discover you're actually a system is such a bizarre one and i really wish i saw more people talk about it.
wait sorry sigh im gonna rant
(long post, vent adjacent)
picture: you've spent years of your life carefully curating your perfect little world. a peaceful kingdom crafted by your own hands.
every interaction has lore, every battle has meaning, every friendship carries genuine weight. a gentle little sanctuary with you in the center, quietly observing, taking careful note.
it's daytime television stored in your pocket, ready whenever you need a break from the real world. even that much feels weird to say because honestly, your daydreams have become your new home. it's all real to you.
you picture a battle between two old friends. a betrayal, a heartbreak, a murder. you plot it all out and you watch the scene roll when suddenly;
"i don't think this situation would play out this way, can i try writing this time?"
and you figure, why not? it's their lives, isn't it?
things start to move on their own. personalities shift, costumes change, new relationships form. and it's not right, but who are you to dictate how they live their lives? you cling to their old identities, knowing damn well they may have never been those people at all.
they were actors, tending to your own selfish needs.
it's really jarring, watching your main villain front to break off a toxic relationship on your behalf. you told her to do that, didn't you? you scripted that, didn't you?
because you created her, didnt you?
you've created it all, your castle and it's guards.
now what?
you can't go back to the way things were. what if they don't want that? what if they need a castle just as much as you do? what if they're just as tired as you are?
you created this world, these characters and their roles, each relationship and each conflict. but these characters have autonomy, they deserve that much for how much they've protected you over the years.
your castle crumbles, it's sanctuary ripped away. how much of it was real? how much of it was pretend? how much can you recover without digging up an answer to a question you didn't ask?
you're just a kid, playing chess with their own shadow.
I wish people would stop assuming that I'm an alterhuman because of me being a system. Its downright so ableist to me and it pisses me off.
Like. NO, I am not an alterhuman because I have a debilitating dissociative disorder.
"But your experiences aren't the same as society's perception of typical humanity, so that must be why!" I hope you get hit by a tree.
REALIZE THE NUANCE IN YOUR STATEMENTS. ASSUMING THAT ANY ALTERHUMAN SYSTEM IS ALTERHUMAN BECAUSE OF THEIR SYSTEMHOOD IS ABLEIST. MAJORITY OF SYSTEMS ARE DISORDERED. IT IS ABLEIST TO ASSUME THAT A TRAUMATIZED INDIVIDUAL IS ALTERHUMAN BECAUSE OF A TRAUMA DISORDER, AS IT THEN ASSUMES THAT THEY DO NOT OPERATE LIKE A HUMAN!! STOP!!
plural selfshipper energy in making your f/o have a crush on either a hivemind or a s/i of your headmates from several other universes. we are legion and we love YOU, fictional blorbo 👉 💐 👉
God damn that was so weird. I was listening to an old playlist and I think a younger version on myself was co-con an yearning for my ex. Almost sent him an anon ask O.o
youtuber factive group + source controversies + obscure source = us actually being afraid to seek out sourcemates.
funnily enough, its easier to interact in our source's community than in designated plural spaces with source calling (instead of the other way around). we just gotta not disclose we're even plural in the first place, let alone actually have factives of the people involved in said source.

Mod Reaper: [Plain text: Mod Reaper:] A group of factives? The more, the merrier. Hello to you all, and we wish you a good day/night!
It's relatable for some of us whose fact-sources are famous, that plural communities are less friendly to us than fandom communities... but that friendliness is conditional, because they don't know our/your identity, your selves. I think you're worth more than conditional acceptance. I hope you can find safety somewhere. 💜
