You don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to but how did you know you went through a system reset? I think we went through one but we don’t know how to tell.
well, it started with us being really stressed, and the system and whatever weird brain overlords control it being completely lost on how to deal with it. couple random formations, a temp fusion, like 3-4 days of intense blurring, and then techno got yeeted to front . from what we were able to gather everyone in our system besides 7-8 of us went suddenly dormant, and the main headspace kind of caved in on itself completely and now is kind of just a pile of rubble, hence why none of us barring Techno and Wilbur our allowed inside with permission. they think it’s “dangerous” for any of us to go inside because he thinks it could cave in more or something. so, the 7-8 of us who popped into existence in the front room instead of going dormant started picking up the pieces, taking headcounts and resetting pluralkit and stuff. the list of who turned up is kind of strange actually, because it consists on me (volt) who formed like 3 days before the reset, ethan (who is actually a fusion of a bunch of people), techno (actually make sense he’s been our system admin and primary protector 2 years), niki (also makes sense, she’s been an active caretaker for a while), wilbur (kind of makes sense? but also why so many mcyt we lost our mcyt hyperfixation months ago), alice (literally had only fronted once prior to the reset, is just very confused on how flor got here), Lone (also sort of makes sense seeing as it has been here since we were born), and scene (random scenecore aesthetive who hadn’t fronted in months)
has for how you can tell if a reset has happened, it’ll vary a lot for each system, and resets will be unique to each sys. the biggest signs or stuff like mass dormancy, losing access to a headspace or a big headspace disaster, many frequent fronters suddenly becoming unreachable, things like like. other signs include stuff like big stress/changes/trauma happening recently (though some systems have frequent system resets as part of the way they function) or big changes in the way you communicate with your members or how your system functions. for us, we very quickly switched from very little dissociation to lots of dissociation and began being all co-conscious with each other constantly.
