plural digi-journal

[yetanothersystemblog]

— ✧ welcome !!

hi, I'm Ashar :)

my system and I made this blog to document our experiences with plurality.

⟢ introductions below:

— ⟢ Ashar (they/he/she/it)

I'm a median subsystem consisting of 4-8 parts/facets. we break apart or combine together to suit the system's needs. most parts (and the body) are 21. I'm also the most frequent fronter. nice to meet you! my subsystem has low-separation, and everyone is happy being referred to as Ashar. if we figure out individual names, I'll make an intro post. I work full-time as a sysadmin (hilarious job title for a plural system). I'm also studying cybersec, trying to learn unity for game-dev, and spend most of my free time playing video games.

— ⟢ Lorelai (she/he)

void-creature. she likes baggy t-shirts, long skirts, and dangly earrings. voted "most fashionable system member." we've been going indoor bouldering and taking dance lessons together.

— ⟢ Sebastian (he/him)

sea-creature guy. he's a fictive. likes big jackets, wants more piercings, and has been trying to convince me to listen to more metal music. he could play guitar in his source and is trying to relearn it.

— ⟢ P.ai.nter (they/he)

a sentient 90s IBM computer, with a humanoid robot body :P fictive. they like going on hikes and visiting art galleries. the system's number 1 sweet treat purchaser. they were a talented artist in their source and are continually frustrated with the bodies sub-par artistic abilities lol. this computer hates genAI !!

⟢ we do not support the creators of Seb and Paint's source media.

⟢ syscourse is not welcome.

Since I'm median, sometimes it feels better to just say "ah, I'm me :)" instead of thinking in terms of system stuff.

But the process of switching over into singlet mode does just feel like a bunch of magical girls doing an amazing transformation sequence with fireworks and sparks flying, meanwhile the end result is john from accounting

"I act like a shy little kid sometimes and I don't know why. I unconsciously put on a cutesy-naïve persona. it's especially embarrassing when I do it at work, since I make an effort to prove myself as a capable professional, and then turn around and act like a child. I'm worried I'm being manipulative by infantillising myself and feigning incompetence." ...it was plurality </3

Being a system is so weird like my mummy and daddy didn't like me so now I'm sans the skeleton

[yetanothersystemblog]

I was bullied in primary school so now I'm a shifting mass of 4-8 people. theres a minecraft enderman and two roblox characters rattling around in here as well

[sumapples]

system masking is like oh ive been feeling like expressing myself lately. too bad i cant without either fundamentally changing how this person percieves us even when i’m not fronting forever or heavily upsetting this person by acting out of the ordinary and running the risk of facing retaliation for it. wow too bad because i really wanted to feel like a person today instead of just a shell of someone i dont know desperately trying to remember and recite lines from a script to keep us safe. and now what are they doing? theyre saying i dont express myself like i “used to” (when?) and getting mad at me? if only i was allowed to express myself. too bad i’m not allowed to

[alteredpanel]

what defines 'you' and 'me' can always change! we aren't stuck in place

[yetanothersystemblog]

this makes me feels so hopeful. idk. I'm not locked in as a person or a role, I can grow and change and improve.

[spiderqueenpc]

the same worry

[digital-pawprints]

It can be a bit difficult at times to explain how our weird little soupy subsystem exists and functions within our overall system, so to provide a bit of a visual aid, we made a quick... comic? Infographic? Whatever this is!

[yetanothersystemblog]

this is so similar to how my median subsystem works!! It's so nice to see others with the same experiences <3

[changelingcoded]

keep getting glimpses into an alternate timeline where plurality is more normalized and you can buy shitty tshirts and mugs about it

I was going to comment under your original post but my list was too long. sniles sneetly.

Genesis Owusu - REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE (punk & hip-hop. I saw it live last night and it was brilliant)

underscores - U (dance-pop. The Peace is one of my favorite songs at the moment)

Ninajirachi - girl EDM (complextro & dance pop. it feels like it's 2010 again)

Ginger Root - SHINBANGUMI (not sure what genre it is, neo-city pop? it's delightful regardless)

it really does feel like being a computer running different software at different times. and sometimes multiple programs are open at once. and sometimes the program is open but in a minimized window

fun system thing!

so I know there was a thing at one point to reblog with your LEAST common introject/ most obscure source. So now let’s have one with MOST common source/the one you see the most doubles of! note: this is just for a fun game, have fun with it, don’t be mean.

stares at my sebastian solace headmate.

some thoughts on pressure:

I'm thankful that a lot of the bad practices of the dev team have been brought to light. I honestly never liked a lot of the dev team, but I ignored all official channels in favour of only interacting with the game or with select fandom spaces. I wish I never gave my time, effort, money, and appreciation to the pressure team.

even with the above, I've still lost a space and a community that were important to me. I thought it was a safe space when, in reality, the foundations had rot. in 2024, pressure became one of the few things I enjoyed during a severe depressive episode. in 2025 & 2026, it was a distraction from my job in an abusive workplace.

I regret loving the game, but I don't regret the love it created: my system has a Sebastian and a P.ai.nter fictive, and my subsystem's anger holder presents itself as an expendable in headspace. I don't think we can ever drop those associations.

I will still miss things. I'll miss badge-hunting with my brothers. learning speedrunning tech with my friends. the thing I'll miss most is guiding new players to their first win, I was always so proud.

I have 87 deaths and 78 wins. I was so excited to reach 100. I'm happy that I never will.

"im probably faking being a system" mfs after their name and gender/identity continues being unstable no matter how much they ignore it (im mfs)

Stop doing it scared and start doing it scary. Invoke sheer eye-clawing terror into all those who have ever wronged you
