Plural stuff
Have I mentioned that two of my partners clocked me so hard they were apparently referring to us as "noted singlet Katt Lastname" behind our back? :D
Plural stuff
@starkatt This seriously makes me wonder if anyone is reading me this way, given all the stuff going on in and around my head which could clearly be read as plural-adjacent.
Plural stuff
@literorrery And I feel weird about engaging with tulpamancy TOO because many of those I work with are very firm on being understood as having an external origin.
...And yes, I know how awkward that sounds from both tulpamancy AND plural perspectives. :\
Plural stuff
@indi @literorrery not weird? A few of us in here have said they aren't internal in origin, but sorta stick around? I'm not quite sure on the logistics.
It is a really complicated area of things
Plural stuff
@Oneironott That just makes things MORE complicated! XD Can I still identify as not-plural if 'external' is a valid source for plural identities? ;)
Plural stuff
@indi yes! I think it follows along self-identification "rules", which is to say your comfort and satisfaction is the only criteria n.n you could identify either way and it would make sense to me :)
Plural stuff
@indi i havn't exactly "proven" that the external ones are or aren't headmates. It's up in the air still. They certainly both seem VERY external and not connected
Plural stuff
@indi But we consider ourselves plural regardless, because there is definitely some who are internal n.n
Plural stuff
@indi @Oneironott I'm kinda in this boat too; some of my selves I've constructed from scratch. But the dominant one now, the phoenix, is....sorta coming from external and sort internal? Integrated into me, but came to me out of a story and a dream.
I still consider myself plural, but yeah it's complicated.
