Well, Ashley decided to be a motherfucker.

He went through SEVERAL old accounts and dug up THE ABSOLUTE MOTHERLODE of old music (we’re talking like 5+ years old) and elected to post some of his finds on social media like a gremlin.

So, fuck it. I’m gonna post something he dug up.

This is a rework I did when I was 19 of a song from my EP Nothing Will Keep Us Together.

This is the ✨electrified✨ version of “Pull Us Under”. Enjoy.

And to my family members who called it boring, they can suck it. One day I’ll finish electrifying this extended play and it’ll be over for you motherfuckers.

Hey folks  

Just announcing a small change to our system, which we'll shortly update on our profile... and eventually on PluralKit too... when we get around to that.

Our headmate formerly known as Isabelli is now fully independent from Isabella. She had been gradually learning to speak and recent events caused a bit of system shock, but had a beneficial outcome for her.

She now perceives herself more as a tween / teen, and chose a new name for herself. She went through a few name choices, but decided on Ashley.

Another headmate did emerge (split off from Evie) during the system shock, but we're not ready to discuss or disclose the details yet. We will do... but only when we feel capable of doing so

We wonder how many fedi accounts we start following without realising that they're headmates of other fedi accounts we're already following 🤔  

For somebody& who can somewhat regularly spot certain types of patterns at least moderately well (mostly in TV/film storylines), we're rather oblivious to humans and human-like beings 😅

“We really are very small, aren’t we? Fungi are like a map of the stars here on this planet”

If you're part of a system, and you love your #headmates, don't forget to tell them. There might be a day when the opportunity to tell them is gone.

We (but also I; you'll see why in a moment) are proposing a new term for plurals everywhere. The term is:

kepholon (n.)

In the context of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a kepholon refers to a self-state or identity that represents a dynamic integration of multiple, previously distinct alters, system parts, or aspects of self. A kepholon functions as a cohesive whole formed from some or all parts of the system, allowing for shared consciousness, memory access, and unified function.

Crucially, this integration is characterized by fluidity; the constituent parts within the kepholon retain their potential separateness and may dissociate or separate again under certain conditions (e.g., stress). It represents a state of integration without final fusion, where parts work together as one but have not permanently merged into a single, indivisible identity.

In this compound, keph- stands for the leading, directing, conscious, or executive function: the part that is currently "fronting," interacting with the world, or managing the system's interface with external reality. It represents the aspect taking charge or acting as the primary point of consciousness for the integrated state.

The -olon suffix connects the "head" function back to the broader holon concept (see below): an integrated entity composed of multiple parts that function as a cohesive whole but retain the potential for separation. It emphasizes that this "head" is not an isolated entity but the currently active face or director of that unified-but-fluid collective. The word "holon" was coined by author and philosopher Arthur Koestler in his 1967 book The Ghost in the Machine; from Greek holos (whole/entire) + -on (suffix denoting a particle or part).

🎵 I am she as you are he, as you are me and we are all together...🎵

I needed the word for me. Cuz I'm Ellis, and that's what I am, and these four motherfuckers want attribution or they're threatening to shatter me into four little tiny mes (which is them, so it's not really much of a threat, honestly 🤔 ).

Anyway, hi! My name is Ellis, and I'm a kepholon. 💙
