i don't think i'll ever get used to that feeling of pure happiness when the people around me acknowledge my system/plural identity .. in a good way, of course.
it's just not the same as someone remembering things about you collectively. it tells me that i matter to those people enough for them to remember and recognize me as different people.
whether its "subtle" like how my partner tends to greet us by our specific name when we text them, or a friend being able to remember things a specific alter said/did as an individual. or more specific things, like the times our boyfriend/partner sys forgot for a second we aren't in separate bodies. and how he sends us random images near daily captioned "this is so (alter name)"
really, no matter how subtle it is, we do notice. and it makes us just as happy every single time. every little thing adds up and makes us feel happy and comfortable being "we" and not "i."
plural validation matters!! whether coming from a non-system or another plural, it all means a lot.
this has been sitting in my drafts for weeks, oops. i remembered it because another friend specifically wanted to show reffy something because they knew heād appreciate it (they said āget the gooberā lol) and it made us both really happy. so i wanted to add that.
No more trans doom scrolling! Today we are embracing trans hedonism!
T4t love, polyamory, queer platonic relationships, and friendships are so beautiful! Embrace pleasure, embrace rest, embrace yourself and all those you love! Eat that cake, kiss that person, take that nap, enjoy your life! Today I call for an era of radical trans joy!
You know whatās wild about being a fictive? Missing your old life even though it was shitty because itās a shittiness you were used to. The life youāre living now is a new kind of shitty that feels unpleasant in a different way.
i think the internal happenings between headmates of nearly any plural system would make a good sitcom. i mean, i think we've all had that experience where someone says/does the dumbest shit and an alter does that Look At The Camera thing out of the office.
hey, yeah you! the angry ones, the aggressive ones, the violent ones. cm'here i got something to say to you.
hey there...
the ones who get irritated really quickly and snap at the wrong person.
the ones who get angry quickly but it goes away quickly, especially when the ones around you don't get over it so fast.
the ones who first thought is to hurt the one who caused you this anger, or just the first person in sight.
the ones who direct their anger at themselves.
the ones who direct their anger at their environment instead of themselves or the people around them.
the ones who get so angry their body burns with heat, causing the anger to worsen.
the ones who get so angry they flip the numb switch and can't feel anything for a while.
the ones who act on those violent thoughts.
the ones who hide their anger and bottle it up over and over again until it explodes.
the ones who can't tell their anger apart from other emotions.
the ones who get stuck in their head due to their rage.
the ones who spiral when they get angry.
the ones who get even angrier when you let yourself spiral cause of your anger.
the ones who get angry over the littlest thing.
i see you, and despite all of this you are still worthy of being loved. worthy of being seen as an equal. worthy of being cared for. worthy of being treated as another 'normal' person.
i love you (/p). your anger doesn't define you, even though it might seem like it does.
Today I tried to watch the new episode of Dungeon Meshi... But I kinda didn't want to...
Like... I've been obsessed with Farcille fan art! Not only do I love them but also... I kinda... Know where the story was heading...
And I just didn't want to see...
Falin and Marcille were happy
I was happy
I wanted things to stay that way
I was scared stuff would...
So I watched the episode
And Falin started screaming, and she hurt her brother, and Marcille was covered in blood and started laughing AND I JUST COVERED MY EYES I TURNED OFF THE TV AND STARTED CRYING...
And it's not like I usually have these kind of reactions, I've watched death note and witch from mercury I'm ok with blood and loud noises...
So I don't know what the fuck happened to me
But I kinda had this feeling before
A lot stronger
It was when I watched Nimona
That scene with Nimona and the statue...
I remember having felt pain like hers before and seeing it again hurt me so much again!
I cried so much after that movie I just hugged my wife and didn't let go for a few hours...
Maybe it's the same reaction
Idk
When I saw Nimona I saw this raw feeling that I had lived through...
I have a... I've harmed myself before
I don't want to say I hate myself for it
I was going through something hard and I just wished I could help that younger version of me
But there's this fear of knowing that you're capable of doing that to yourself...
...
...
And I just felt so afraid after the movie...
And I just remembered the reasons I did it and I started spiraling into depressive throughts and I couldn't stop it...
...
And rn I can't sleep...
I didn't cry after the episode but... It's like this feeling took time to bloom
I'm trying to sleep and I just tried to know what I'd felt... And I'm crying again...
Sometimes
I've heard before idk where I wish I knew
I've heard someone say that there's representation that's just too traumatic for the viewer
Like to relive that stuff
I bet the creator of Nimona just wanted to be seen and connect to other ppl
But I fled bc fuck ass artists wanna dump their shit on us when I just wanted to have fun...
That last part is mean
I'm sorry, I don't mean it ...
But I just saw Marcille finally saving Falin
And I remember
How FUCKING LONG IT TOOK FOR MY WIFE AND I TO SAVE EACH OTHER
It's just been a fucking lot and
And I'm scared and I'm crying to just remember it now...
I don't want to relieve it I don't
I just
...
I don't want to see more people like me in pain...
I know that pain...
I'm still scared of it
Sometimes I get stuck inside my head
I get stuck with these feelings they're like scars that I keep scratching...
I am trying with everything in me to stop it
I want to breathe and I need to get out of myself and just live...
And for a long time now I've been so happy with my wife and I've loved myself so much
I want to think that it's slowly getting over
I want nothing else in my life to be as painful because I... Barely survived the last time
