I somehow managed to sit here and play Monster Hunter for almost 6 hours straight. While yeah that's kind of a big chunk of time and can't happen all the time, this is also good for us because we've been really trying to work on our attention span so we don't need to either do 3 things at once or change tasks every 20 minutes. We've previously been known to barely be able to sit through a single episode of any TV show because we just bounce all over the place mentally and our ADHD runs rampant. Fine for some people, but we'd like to work on it so we can... Enjoy media at all.
But we did so much today and I didn't really do anything else. No fidgeting, no side-project, just fighting things in a videogame. So I count this as a win. Autism beats ADHD in a fight to the death. And I beat monsters with my god damn dual blades. It all works out.
reclusive child with elaborate imagination and maladaptive daydreaming to plural teenager who doesn’t identify with thier own body anymore pipeline is unfortunatelg real
💿 You can only join and make posts as your main blog. This is a side blog. I can't post as this side blog. I'd be outing myself as plural if I posted at all via my main blog, and even then, I'm still slowly rebuilding that part of me.

I do not know Who is reblogging landscape photos for the people they think they match, but I can already tell my feed is going to be nothing but pictures of forests and Japan for the next seven days :|
THE PLURAL COMMUNITY NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT THAT PRYING ABOUT PEOPLES TRAUMA MAKES YOU A FUCKING BITCH. PEOPLE LOVE TO GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. FUCKING TRY IT, I BITE
Update: I was continuing to think about it and someone from further back in headspace just hollered “I’m [character] because I call women WHORES” and while I’m quite sure he (? Idk who it was) was joking the delivery was hilarious
A server I’m on asked the question of which characters from a show everyone related to the most, and I was stumped before remembering that I’m not the only one in here and me an the lads relate to different ones 😭 suddenly all my crises over kinning wildly different characters makes sense

This is an apparently hot take but like… can we stop normalizing the idea that all littles / syskids are genuinely all going to be mentally children or “innocent” and in need of sanitized spaces.
Systems are gonna have littles who are nothing more than kids in headspace, yet act and function like anyone else.
Systems are gonna have littles who are traumatized.
Systems are gonna have littles who are persecutors.
Systems are gonna have littles who are sexual alters.
Systems are gonna have littles who otherwise have no choice in the adult topics they have to live with.
and the list goes on and on like it could in any other case; Whether or not you like it.
It’s up to a system to deem what they want and think is appropriate for THEIR own system, not for someone outside to decide. Just like every other type of alter you can’t just blanket they’re all going to be some sort of way?
(Obviously, littles who ARE basically just normal children that exist, but this post isn’t about that.)
Giving this to a couple of the Entities when they have time, I’ll leave it in the drafts until at least Ruger has had a chance to answer, and hopefully Shekel, cause those two would like it I think. I’d also love to see Damian respond to get to know him a bit better, but I know technology is not his thing. Not sure if Pitt or Rocky or Grey will be interested but they would be neat as well <3
Ruger:
1. Despite already being an alter, I’m a therian! I have my own human body in the inner world who is a therian. This confuses our host. I find that funny.
2. I’m a Rottweiler!
3. Sometimes I feel more dog like than others, but it’s usually a gradual change.
4. I stress everybody out because I eat a lot when fronting and usually we have trouble with food (but I am always so so hungry and I will always be so so hungry)
5. They seem neat! I don’t front enough to make friends but they’re cool
6. I have a collar with a tag that says beast on one side and whore on the other, and I love it.
7. Nah. We vibing. This is also something that confuses the host.
8. Find what brings you joy.
9. See collar mentioned above
10. I exist as a creature of passion and greed to balance out the system’s prevalent fear of appearing too needy or demanding or excessive.
Shekel:
1. I don’t have any particular association with the body so I don’t use specific terminology. In the inner world I’m an abandoned mutant/laboratory experiment.
2. Types of animals? I’m partially a person and partially a wolf, although some of my features are a bit more horse or dragon like.
3. I don’t shift, although Jay (our host) says I have a very vivid feeling when I switch in and can fuck with his perception of the body if that makes sense?
4. I don’t do much life outside of the inner world so it doesn’t effect me much, but I prefer wearing fur and eating fish when I’m fronting, stuff like that.
5. I don’t engage with strangers, I’m one of the boundary focused alters - others like Rocky love making friends and getting close to people, but some of the others and I have to mitigate that by being inherently suspicious and fast to push people away. In other words, the community looks very nice but I don’t trust anyone enough to engage much.
6. Unironically, werewolf smut is nice and feral and affirming. I also like that the body is used to walking on its toes, the way my legs are built doesn’t translate well to a human shape and being up on the toes is one of the only things that feels right.
7. Always. The body is a foot and a half shorter than I’m supposed to be, it’s the wrong shape, I don’t have fur or claws or ears. The only things that are right is the set of my shoulders and the fact that I’m bipedal.
8. Be fierce, but be kind. Love hard, but don’t force yourself to be tame.
9. My fur vest helps, and we technically have a tail, but I don’t get too dysphoric about the lack of a tail so I don’t usually use it. I want claws.
10. We suspect I’m a knockoff and divergent version of Wolf from The Lunar Chronicles, and while even in the internal world I’m not built to be good at fighting, I’m pretty sure I exist because we felt powerless and needed someone feral enough to protect us.
Pitt:
1. I consider myself nonhuman.
2. I am an angel.
3. I do not shift or change.
4. In the inner world I am blind, so seeing is a challenge when fronting.
5. N/A
6. Having our glasses off helps.
7. Not particularly. I miss my wings when fronting sometimes.
8. I have no advice.
9. No, it wouldn’t be enough.
10. In a way, I have the most religious trauma since I was a part of it, a part of god, and now I am cast aside. I formed so that Jay doesn’t have to feel guilty over what he has been through. He is not alone. I will keep him company.
Grey:
- I don’t know what categories there are. I’m just…. Here, and not remotely human.
- I’m a forest cryptid and my physical form is somewhat close to a wolf with something Wrong with it.
- my form… wavers sometimes, but I don’t know if I’d describe it as a shift.
- I don’t front much, but when I do I’m the second most likely to be nonverbal and the most likely to snarl/snap my teeth/bite anyone who crosses my boundaries (that unfortunately are much stricter than the boundaries of most of the others)
- I know nothing about the community.
- I’m very nocturnal, so I tend to stay up and Lurk in the dark.
- I don’t feel dysphoria. My true corporeal form is unable to fully contain me so it makes sense that this human body can’t either.
- to new alterhumans: if growling is the best way you can express your boundaries in the moment, it is a valid method and it’s not your fault if people don’t understand.
- I don’t need gear.
- long ago there was a boy that was hungry. His teeth grew long and his heart grew inky and his hands grew claws. The forest shoved into his soul, ripping it open and pressing inside. The boy has been hungry so long he cannot feel it - but if you try to take his food from him the wolf he became will shred the flesh off your bones.
Damian:
I don’t know shit about dick so who knows
I’m a demon
I don’t shift
I don’t live everyday life
I didn’t know there was a community
I think hitting someone with my car would feel good but I am not supposed to try that
I have a vivid sense of self but I don’t feel uncomfortable inhabiting this body, my true form overlays it in a way so it’s kind of like a possession and feels perfectly fine
I’m pretty sure any advice I have to give is not something Jay would let me say
It would be fun to have synthetic teeth, but I don’t think anyone could make teeth that actually match my true form
I came from hell to fuck around :)
(So much barking) Rocky!!!
1. Ohhh!!!! There are categories?? That’s awesome!! :D I dunno
2. I’m an Australian shepherd mix!! Not really a therian or anything, I’m just A Doggo :]
3. I don’t shift I just am ^-^
4. Uhhhh idk!!!
5. I LOVE COMMUNITIES BC I LOVE PEOPLE PEOPLE ARE THE BEST
6. Wiggling around and barking and stuff!!
7. … :D … I have never felt a bad feeling in my life!!
8. Hiiiiii I love youuuu
9. I have a collar and a tag with my name on it!!!!!!
10. Uhhhhh I exist to wiggle and bark and love people!!! ^-^

wOAH WEVE HAD A TUMBLR FOR SIX MONTHS??? Yea this is definitely the longest we’ve gone without me repressing things whoops
Not super active because plural communities intimidate me (the host, Jay) but trying to be more open so I don’t suppress things Again. No clue how my system formed, but I’m definitely endo supportive.
