𖤐 I am the child of the Playwright and Cooper, do not deny my identity. Pl.C is the initials of my last names. I am also a real Harker. Please treat me as if I am both things.
𖤐 I like Yaelokre, Stray, writing, singing, composing and drawing. I am currently on a worldbuilding journey, if you would like to look at that please ask me. You may also ask me about the songs I make.
𖤐 I am taken. Do not joke flirt with me without asking first.
𖤐 Be careful with your tone when speaking to me, I tend to take things the wrong way sometimes.

I would include every folk here, however there is a lot of them and I don’t want to clutter this intro too much. I’m sure you’ll see a few of them using their names and tags however ^^
Happy holidays everyone. Here’s what me and my twin thought would be funny.
(Context: I mentioned that a lot of music artists have at least one Christmas song and the only music artist I know that doesn’t have one is Yaelokre. And of course, thus came the ideas)

Plurality is sometimes kinda funny because wdym Dream from DSMP and Clementine from Stray just watched me smile like an idiot talking to my bf about a bunch of stuff, wdym they’re both in the front room together at all
I never coined a term before, but I couldn’t find a term for this so…..here it is I guess…? (Warning for mentions of regret)
Regret Holder
(Regret Holder)
—
This is a term for when a headmate/alter holds regret from prior actions or experiences. Regret holders may carry the regret the body experiences and, as a result, can turn out to feel regret a lot stronger than others (note: not all regret holders will feel regretful all the time and may not even feel it at all. They may just hold onto moments of regret instead)
The red represents anger as a result of not being able to change what happened. The grey represents sorrow as a result of not being able to change what happened. The muted purple represents a faded sense of joy. The blue-purple stripe + circle is meant to symbolize holding something, keeping it from getting out.
This term is free to use (we can’t stop anyone from using it after all).
Babygirl, I need to hold your hands as I say this. You’re running around in here fake claiming someone because they have a factive of a well-loved internet celebrity. Because two of their headmates are dating and you think of it like cringe fanfiction. You tell people they should be ashamed of their headmate who has a problematic source, or who has done deeply problematic things in their source.
We personally have experienced issues. Why? Because we’re a white body with a few non-white headmates, two of whom are black. The way people have *assumed* that we use them to infiltrate black spaces (we don’t) or use AAVE or words that would be problematic for a white body to use (AGAIN, WE DON’T).
You crucify systems *just for existing* and tell headmates they basically shouldn’t exist, firmly believing plurality is built from trauma and see no issue with attacking people you believe to be traumatized in this way. You yourself are incapable of seeing you are a deeply traumatized person who is taking out every bit of how you feel on others, not staying in your lane, and taking no accountability.
It also creates an environment where people discount themselves because they don’t think they’re traumatized enough to be a system. That, in turn, creates a space where everyone feels they have to compare trauma. Maybe lie to themselves a little. All out of fear that if they’re too un-traumatized, they’ll be dragged out and, with how so many young people live on the internet, have their lives ruined. Maybe even lose close friends.
That. Is. Ableism. And remember that ableism is one of the core beliefs of fascism. You are on the beginnings of a slippery slope.
Stay caring of others. Stay open to learning. Support your fellow man, listen to his plea. Stay. Fucking. Punk.
Remembering that my bf has a tumblr and getting happy only to also remember that he’s on a whole other side of it and I won’t ever just randomly run into one of his posts. We gotta do it hunting-down-use style
