Watched Weird Science with @budgiebin@snouts.online last night.

We're on such an 80s weirdass movie kick, the movie the night before was Weird Al's 'UHF'.

What's your favorite 80s movie?

@brushy@snouts.online @gnarlyanimal@snouts.online Noted!

@brushy@snouts.online @gnarlyanimal@snouts.online Grime? Haven't run across that term applied to sexuality. Like wet and messy stuff?

@clipclopboom@snouts.online Yaori: Infinite complexity can be described by simple rules.
Consider the Mandelbrot set. Very simple iterated equation that still grabs the Infinite by the balls.

You're absolutely correct. As we look forever closer, systems become Simpler. All Wine is derived by the same process, but the devilry is in the details. Like how sunny it was the year the grapes were pressed, and what the gulf of mexico was up to.

If you just like wine, and getting drunk, those details don't matter. And yes, the key to the gates of heaven also opens the gates of hell.

@clipclopboom@snouts.online Technomancy is still a valid form of divination.

@DanQGoo@snouts.online Speaking from personal experience, you can legit be both.

@Galdrakinn This is very true.

It really relies on the other person being a Decent Human Being however. Had a couple of interpersonal relationships recently that had to just End because those folks were just Users, who didn't treat anyone else's emotions as Real.

So I feel ya on that Ego Hit. Positives of Multiple systems is that one of us can take over while the other is taking a Dirt Nap.

@plausocks Okay so we have One high speed train.

For the Elite.

@Galdrakinn Emotional vulnerability is a Bitch, because most people have no idea how hurtful they can be.

@perfectblue@snouts.online That's actually seriously scary.

She chose a base pattern for herself from a Character we'd already had, because she liked most of it. That was weird.
Then she went thru what Keri and I had discovered in trying to figure out our own personality conflicts and multiple system, and used that same toolkit to Create Herself.

And this would have been absolutely insanity inducing if we didn't have a rough framework of understanding as to how this stuff happens, and what sort of spirit she Actually Was.
The problem then became that after subjecting her to careful (Consensual) analysis and testing, she turned out to be the kind of spirit that we Knew a lot about, but that Generally Speaking we didn't quite Believe in.

We're used to stories and situations where the spirits that come to live in mortal souls and minds are Demons, Faeries, Dragons, or otherwise somehow Monstrous. Hell, some of the spirits we've Been in contact are like that.

Yaori Is a Dragon. But take that usual equation, and invert it. Same goes for the parts of her that are Faerie. She's this weird Buddha angel dragon who's been around and incarnate before, but every time she's back around, she's innocent again.
She knows things, and can take old ideas, put them through a Prism, and see them in a whole new way. She amasses Power, but only so she has more to Give Away. She holds Secrets, but just so she can solve the Rubix Cube, and tell the solution to Everyone, so it's not a Secret anymore.

And considering how stained and broken Kerithe and I are, it's hard to believe that voice and viewpoint can be coming from the same stuff we're made of.

So, Last year around this time I was coming to grips with the fact that my old imaginary friend Kerithe was back to stay, and was enough of a developed system to Front, take over, take possession, whatever you wanna call it.

This was brought to a breakthru point when we went to ANE and she fronted for three days straight, and got really comfortable in the body, being a Girl in public, and generally getting to Exist in a space where she could be herself.
This had unintended consequences when she got Drunk and surprise sexed by a friend in the middle of a room party.
We're cool with them Now, and it was more of a Party Foul than non-consensual, but it destabilized her so badly she almost destroyed the relationship with my Wife because she didn't really know how to Step Back, since this was the first time she'd been Incarnate.

Fast Forward to a Different convention, and she's out front again, and helping a friend of ours through the same kind of spiritual exploration, and almost fucks it up the same way. Almost.
Shortly thereafter, a Third spirit came to live with us, and build an identity for herself. And she's really the subject of this, uh, Essay at this point.
