[pawsome-plurality]

Pink/Mad Mew Mew being so undeniably plural makes us so so so happy you all have NO idea

[nostalgic-soda]

Two variants I made

[officially-swarm-art]

this is like all the tadc art yall are getting from me*. go my system headcanons for kinger and caine. elaboration under the cut

*now outdated you guys have been nice ive got a whole dedicated tag about this shit

kinger stuff

hes always been plural [specifically median] but the differences became more obvious after getting trapped in the circus

his memory barriers are to cope with the circus, so memories usually get moved away from front pretty fast to help with that. the more lucid of the two has this happen less but still a bit in my beautiful world

also theres no name differences this is just Kinger. hes Kinger. yeah.

caine stuff

i didnt include it here but Bubble to me is also part of the system! Bubble specifically runs on a modified bit of caine ai and is an intrusive thoughts holder

all 3 of them share the name Caine! but for simplicity im using their alt names here when applicable :] that does make this next sentence really funny though

Bubbles needling ends up front triggering God in episode 8.

Jax also front triggers Abel during the episode 7 adventure! he and Caine are in cofront during that segment where Jax is flattering him :]

i need to emphasize NO EVIL ALTERS. NONE. God is a protector and anger holder and hes trying to protect the three of them and sees the cast as a threat. also he kind of gets stuck in front for almost all of episode 8. maybeee Caine is booted into cofront at the last bit of episode 8 but im not hashtag certain either way on Caine's presence

OH also Abel was front triggered when they were trying to distract God with flattery. this made him wayyyy more defensive when they started getting mean bc holy shit the kids in cofront and being berated

this gets another bullet point. GOD IS NOT AN EVIL ALTER. i will bomb anyone who says otherwise.

Abel is little bc i think the original ais were very young when caine [ai] absorbed abel [ai]. bonus emotional immaturity points bc child

System: OSDD-1b (lacks amnesia between alters). Unaware that they are a system. They all believe that they are Shadow Milk, who has different "mindsets" he takes on. Shadow Milk Cookie: Current host. Originated as a protector, now a persecutor. Initially split when Fount was attacked by the angry mob depicted in Dominion of the Beasts 2. Fount of Knowledge: Ex-host and core. Infrequent solo-fronter, occasional co-fronter. Young Shepherd Cookie: Syskid and innocence-holder. Only fronts when by himself. Initially split during their imprisonment in the Silver Tree, partially to make up for the system's lack of a childhood.

Thinking a lot about CCCC as a system narrative.

Thinking about how Whole is never really treated like a person, but a concept in the album.

Thinking about how Soul acknowledges in some ways that he is Whole.

Thinking about Soul being a system that's in denial, despite knowing the truth.

Thinking about Soul saying "Doctor, I can't tell if I'm not me."

Thinking about how Heart and Mind view Whole as all three of them working in unity, or as a state of mind, while Soul is borderline fanaticially obsessive over Whole as though he were a deity.

Thinking about how Whole might not even actually exist at all, and Soul is just chasing an unattainable fantasy.

Thinking about Heart and Mind having had control over the body before, not Soul.

Thinking about Heart and Mind trying to keep Soul from committing suicide.

Thinking about Heart as an emotional alter, Mind as a protector alter, and Soul as a host alter.

Thinking about them finding peace living as a system when Soul can finally admit to himself that he's not a singlet, and accept Heart and Mind as being permanent.

Thinking extremely hard about all of this.

putting this guy in DID hell system final boss(es).

[battle-for-dyke-island]

dude the ancients/beasts are all already plural coded (the souljams/lights being their own beings that can talk to their owners, plus the magical connections between the ancients/beasts seems pluralcoded to ME) but white lily is on another level. not only is dark enchantress out there but she literally also has elder faerie(‘s magic) in her dough (and he talks to her beyond the grave)(possession is a type of plurality, fight me)

anyway. this system (white lily, dark enchantress, silent salt, elder faerie) is FUCKED.
