On "being" a shapeshifter

Curious what people's #plurality looks like?

@hellomiakoda, @sitcom_nemesis and me discussed it for our cases in some detail!

@[email protected] Headmates are other consciousnesses in the same brain. My system considered us separate people, some systems experience them as split from an original, some systems experience them has something created- There's many different kinds. I can only accurately describe my experience. Think of the who of someone you know. All the things that make that person them, that doesn't include their body. Now imagine that in your brain, with you, and you take turns with the shared body.

plural ppl of fedi and bluesky, is it common post-syscovery (or re-syscovery in my case) to just have an easier time overall with stuff? i regained romantic attraction (kind of), my fear of video game water is manageable now, i'm more fiscally responsible, etc

shit is so easy now suddenly :0

By the way, with my recent posts about #multiplicity, I am open to questions. The views that motivated my #headmates and I to be open with multiplicity still stand.

I get told often that my #headmates might not have died, they could be in there somewhere...
They're dead. I'm in here, I can assure you they're dead. I don't find offerings of false hope comforting. In fact, it feels dismissive. I wish people would stop that.
They had been there forever, since the beginning of consciousness, even when one of us had gone through a denial phase. Continuously conscious, no pauses, no dormancy, still alive when not front. Now they aren't. #multiplicity #plurality

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.

Whenever we have more than one cup of coffee #Multiplicity
It’s comforting seeing posts from mental health professionals showing how discussing #multiplicity is becoming more mainstream off and online

#Psychology and #writing question:

In a #plural system, where one headmate writes a 19-chapter story worth 44,516 words, where they then disappear before said story is done, where readers are patiently asking for the story to continue, should it be shelved indefinitely since they are no longer present or continued in some manner regardless of whether they might return or not? What's the ethical move here?
