We’re a Dissociative Identity Disorder system full of goths, witches and Jews. We’ve been system-aware and in specialized therapy for a few years now.
Mutuals can ask for our discord and simply plural, and message us to chat whenever they’d like. Though fair warning that conversations frequently get dropped and forgotten when the alter engaging in it stops fronting, so feel free to double/triple message us to remind us.
Don’t stick around if you’re antisemitic, anti-kink, aspec exclusionist, or are uncomfortable with gore.
Here are the frequent fronters and their sideblogs:

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.
Never be afraid to recycle an idea you had for a project you already completed. Sometimes ideas really are just that good and deserve to be used more than once.
You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.
cant do the mutual first memory rb game because i genuinely cant remember anything. i dont know you were all my mutuals at birth. we were joined by the stars and by blogging
The world is an absolute cesspool of shit. If the idea of two fictional characters smooching makes you happy, you should absolutely write, draw, and consume all of it, proudly.
one of the funnier incidents of me assuming someone knew a meme irl was when a new coworker was talking about some woman who got arrested for tax fraud and I went "God forbid women do anything" and he got scared and thought I was accusing him of being sexist, so he started apologizing and saying how tax fraud isn't even bad, actually.
me when i urge people to transfer their data to my app and assure them that said app will not shut down and then i shut down the app with two weeks notice and no explanation LOL
The most irritating part of the simply plural and octocon shutdown isnt that its shutting down, its that we were barely given any notice. There is no way any developers are going to have enough time to create an app before simply plural goes down, and now that octocon is going down too, theres genuinely no other options like those two.
Im not mad that theyre being shut down, im mad we didnt even have a chance for other creators to fill that gap in time. And now there are gonna be people left without resources until another app comes out. These notices shouldve come out much earlier.
Ykw yeah. Yeah atp i *am* mad abt both SP and Octocon shutting down and Ampersand going on hiatus/considering shutting down. ESPECIALLY Octocon. When it was *just* simply plural, like, i understood why people were mad, but at least the creator was keeping the servers running for as long as possible and shit. Do i think there are other, better ways it couldve be handled? Yeah. Do i understand why the creator took the route they did? Yeah! I could deal with it
But octocon, OCTOCON. The app that was explicitly said by the SP creator as a good alternative, that ADVERTISED ITSELF AS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE, SHUTTING DOWN. WITH A 2 WEEKS FUCKING NOTICE. AFTER THEY SAID "we dont have any plans to shut down the project". WHAT THE HELL.
People have already went through losing a very accessible and good disability aid with SP being discontinued. And now Octocons fucking leaving us high and dry?! Look. I understand having mental health issues. I understand that the octocon dev has been under a lot of stress since the SP shutdown. But just shutting down a popular disability aid which was ADVERTISED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ANOTHER POPULAR, DISCONTINUED DISABILTY AID, is SO FUCKING CALLOUS. You could have just gone on hiatus! Hired someone else to handle it! anything BUT SHUTTING IT DOWN. OH MY LLLORD. I dont wanna say its stupid but its STUPID. AND SO FUCKING CALLOUS. And its breaking a promise, on top of disappointing thousands of people, pulling the rug out from under them, and taking away a disability aid. You can take care of yourself without doing shit like this. Im pissed tf off.
Along with that, Ampersand going on hiatus/possibly shutting down makes this issue compound. It feels like the plural and CDD communities are just getting basically left in house with like. 3 ingredients and no cooking knowledge and being told "have fun!!" While the people leaving take the rest of the food with them.
What the fuck, Atlas, Amaryllis (SP dev), whoever the ampersand dev is, do better.
