do your headmates have “offline” days? like when someone isn’t there (not talking, not communicating with anyone else - it feels like they don’t exist) and nothing brings them out. but then they’re back in a few days. how do you deal with it? is it annoying or do you not even notice?

One thing that might be helpful as an aid is a heated body pillow. They're about $100, but it can help to simulate hugging. The combination of that and a weighted blanket works particularly well. Cheaper option would be a heating pad & a regular pillow, you might already have those laying around. It won't be quite as nice, but it could still help.
Combining visualization (within a headspace situation) with hugging someone who is co-con can also work well. And combining all of these things can work *very* well.
How do I hug my headmates and have them actually feel it? They're cool and deserve hugs :]
Hello! I relate to this a lot,
Now I'm not familiar with stuff in headspace or an inner world as we don't really have one. However! I often will hug the body/ourselves, with the To Be Hugged in front or co-con with me, and that works. In fact, all physical affection we want to show to one another and feel it is through the body .. it's actually really comforting ^♡^
There are likely other ways, and this may not work for everyplural, but this is what we do! I hope they get their hugs <3
vi not wearing a bra after she's been recovering? makes sense, totally checks out. unclear if vi even owns a bra at this point. caitlyn not wearing a bra to go visit her dumbass ex who got herself locked in a secluded prison cell? SUSPICIOUS
You can survive this. Outlast your enemies and thrive. (Plan for a two part linocut. I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and buy some new lino; I have rubber blocks and a couple small pieces of lino but it seems I just can't do without detail.)
