a bit ago i made a post like "i love making aliases for online stuff it is so fun haha"it got favorities by 2 plural accounts from different systems and thats itdoes this mean anything
-
@det like, for all I know, maybe you are plural! I don't wanna just go "aha you must be" without more info though (I think I missed the original OP you were referring to) (or else I forgot it)
unless that was the entire thing heh oops
but yeah, definitely a "hmm, ask for more details" moment I think
@IceWolf i dont think i am?
i mean im not gonna deny the possibility
but like
i hear plural folks go "this shit is really hidden" and then mention some things i experience but im pretty sure most of those things are like, part of other things i happen to also have
---
regardless i mean this as in like
i find the idea of coming up with different names to put on for myself online to be fun
creating a name with the express purpose of "this is what i exist as in this one specific space"
its a fun exercise for myself
i dont really adopt different personalities for those different aliases though, i just kinda always act the same, because its really difficult for me to be anything else other than myself, acting isnt easy at all and i gotta put in a lot of focus to do like, even the most overplayed, easy shit, but like, serious (this is, i am like, very certain, an autism thing lol) -

if you did have "different personalities for different places" that would 100% be A Sign but since you don't, yeah
outta curiosity, what's the other stuff that they mentioned that you experience?

@IceWolf i got no examples off the top of my head i forgetted them all
well okay i do remember just, general forgetfulness being one i hear mentioned very often which
lol
adhd + probably dissociation -

we have massive forgetfulness but AFAWK that's just ADHD + dissociation and whatnot, not plurality-related – we all share the same memory pool anyway (which yeah, means we have memories of headmates doing shit. feels like I did it even though consciously I know it wasn't me. It gets weird, FAST.)

@IceWolf oh yeah that sounds, incredibly weird
having memories that feel like you did something but you have to conciously step in and go "no that was THEM who did that not me" -

@det @IceWolf hi! yeah! =^.^= *wags tail*
I'm actually our, second? most common fronter, or at least I have been for a bit now
though Ylf's been fronting again more lately which is really nice to see, he needs it
(I think I'm still best at intentionally holding front for long time periods, though. Dunno why.)
But yeah I don't post as much. Ylf's much more likely to grab front and then Go Poasting About It, I think

@det @IceWolf hehehe I think right after we discovered ourselves, someone mentioned that being interested could be a sign
(not that you're necessarily plural, I don't think we've ever gotten obvious plural vibes from you, just musing)
and don't worry about finding it fascinating!! Frost finds it fascinating too, he did before we found out, he still does now!

@topaz @IceWolf hahaha calling being interested in something "a sign" just seems really funny to me
i get your point its just
it feels like such a blanket statement
the most plural seeming thing i have like, going on, is how variable my mood can be sometimes for, no discernable reason
but i think it could just be a slight autism thing as well as dissociation related things too?
that at least seems more plausible to me than plurality, but hey i wont know unless i, idk, actually do research
which
my plates already full of things i wanna research
(by full plate, i mean i have 2 items on there, but look okay theyre both pretty big sometimes size matters more than quantity) -

@topaz @Ylfingr @IceWolf i mean hey being therian carried a lot of stuff with it but i still took that path
being a big change shouldnt scare me
if anything it should promote me to act sooner
but yeah i suppose it is a big thing to research
if researching therian stuff took me, genuinely like, a month or so until i felt like "ok im ready to start" who knows how much time that would take with plurality
and that was a month of like, "no-lifing" research
like i had NOTHING going on then and genuinely spent a month just on my computer seeing what the world had to offer on all of that -

...also, be careful researching. There's SO. MUCH. SHIT out there...
... up to and including sources that will happily tell you murdering your headmates (or.. worse...) is okay and/or isn't murder
(I wish I was kidding.)
not that we've ever gone looking to see what the ratio of actually okay to recommends-horrible-evil-things stuff out there is
oh yeah there's also weird infighting like "anyone who didn't Come From Trauma isn't a real plural system!" and like..?? dudes, chill. So that's more stuff you might run into; if you do turn out to have headmates, you're still valid and they're still real even though they were just There and not From Trauma

.@topaz @Ylfingr @IceWolf yeah id figure something thats a "hot topic", especially something thats very easy to view as an "illness", is gonna have a lot of misinformation
if i ever go down said deep dive of research, ill 100% try to consult yall from time to time on things
HOPEFULLY by then though, ill be on irc and i wont have to use this dinky software to communicate all of that to yall -

!! speaking of which! we can hop on IRC right now if y'want :3also also YEAH
also also it's not just the haters
I wish it was just the haters
so many plural critters have internalized shit......our second set of partners died that way, we think. :<
well.
who knows if they're dead. I hope they're still in there somewhere...[Frost: Do NOT start thinking about that right now. Do not.]
...yeah. Yeah.
weird that Frost is the one to say that. he's usually the one getting triggered.
