We have multiple fictives. I mentioned in my previous post that we have a DDLC fictive named Nat who loves DDLC, it’s like her happy trigger. We also have a headmate named Sayori, but she’s not a fictive. She’s more of a cosplayer, and she just looks like Sayori.

While I was thinking about the previous post I made, I felt ashamed at the thought that singlets will assume and react very negatively to headmates that are introjects.

I had thought of wanting Sayori to change her name to something else, but she came in and said that she loved her name.
I thought of a compromise, a “temporary nickname”, where she can still keep her name for us, we can still call her that, while she is called something else for singlets that don’t know any better.

Then I realized we have a Monika fictive who absolutely loves her name and will fight tooth and nail to let herself keep it. The others also like their names, and I asked Denji if he wanted to change his, but he said no.

I’m not ashamed or embarrassed by them or the fact they want to keep their names. Half the time they don’t think they’re fictives, so they joke whenever they see a certain character and say “that’s me” because humor.
We have a headmate, Octavian, that likes to roleplay as the character because why not.

A asked me how I would like it if someone asked me to change my name (Nico as a nickname) when I didn’t want to. I feel bad enough to think about forcing them to change their names.

OKAY, EVERYONE WILL KEEP THEIR NAMES. WE’RE JUST GOING TO COME UP WITH TEMPORARY NICKNAMES FOR SINGLETS. WE WILL NOT USE THESE NICKNAMES WHEN WE INTERACT WITH OTHER SYSTEMS.

We have this DDLC fictive named Nat, and she loves DDLC. It’s like her happy trigger, and every time she sees like DDLC content or just cosplays she comes to co-front.

Anyways on a similar topic, I reposted a DDLC fictive AMA post (from our Monika fictive) to the DDLC community some months ago, but it got removed after hours of waiting for comments.

I was curious and wanted to see if other communities were curious about fictives or plurality in general, especially a DDLC fictive to the DDLC community.

I had since then removed the post/repost. I guess I learned from my curiosity (not doing that again)

Do they not like cross posts from different communities? I don’t even cross post or repost, still trying to figure out how it works here.

Hi, we have been using Plural Log as of recently. It’s very easy to use as it’s the first and only system app we got.

I was wondering if there was a discord server for the app since I saw some comments saying that they’re still in development and are making changes. Besides from the App Store reviews, all I know is that they came out with an updated version.

What the title asks. I just thought of this question. I like to ask a lot.

I read somewhere that Alter (context in multiplicity) stood for “alternate states of consciousness” and that’s why it was called Alter specifically. Probably a comment or forum or something, idk I can’t remember.

Since I have a conscious too, wouldn’t that also imply that I’m also a headmate/alter? Since my conscious counts as well?
We also switch, so our consciousness alternates, including mine.

Technically this would be correct in this context, but I want to hear your thoughts on this.

When we were getting to know our system, M and I discussed vocabulary and terminology to use. We then came to the topic of me being a host. I did not really identify with that word, so I didn’t want to be called a host.

When I first thought about the word, the first thing that comes to mind is environmental biology class and learning about parasitic-host relationships (it’s been years, I learned this when I was a HS freshman)

M said to think it in the context of talk shows or parties, as in hosting an event (so a person would be called a host in this situation)

So basically we both have our thoughts about the word. I thought science, she thought entertainment.

Okay, I went through what seemed to be a hypo/manic episode (not sure which one) this January, lasted nearly the entire month.

When it ended early February, it was weird. I guess I got amnesia because I didn’t remember what had happened in January.

I felt detached from that month. It’s like I went from December straight to February.

Long story short, we have Monica, and she is a fictional introject of the character Monica Gallagher from Shameless. The character had Bipolar 1, and our Monica told us, “I have Bipolar 1.”

That made me suspicious. I had went through a hypo/manic episode. Is it because she’s an introject or because I’m also suspecting? Monika (yes same name) thought that it could have just been a coincidence.

But she also suspected another alter had bipolar which I thought wasn’t possible. I checked my mood tracker notes from January (which I forgot I wrote) and turns out I am suspecting bipolar now. So please help.
