My partner loves to have me watch them play because it makes their playing 10x better, (I sorta have that too but not as much, not the topic here) I prefer to play over watching and if I watch for too long I end up falling asleep due to being understimulated.
Today, we found a workaround.
For context, we don't have compatible devices and they are much more skilled than me, so there's very few games we can play together. When there is a game we can co-op, my devices end up having problems or our skill levels end up either boring them or frustrating me.
My partner wanted me to watch them play Project Sekai, which I end up zoning out during due to pretty lights before eventually falling asleep. We ended up talking about it, and the solution that made us both hyper was-funnily enough-essentially giving me an unplugged controller!
They streamed their setup like usual, but they put it on my skill level and I got to basically phantom play if that makes sense? Then they put it back up to their skill level and played before moving to a new song. It felt like I was progressing through the actual game and they got me to watch them too! We essentially just took turns long distance!!
You guys I'm so happy I'm gonna explode

I'm curious systems, what's the craziest form that's ever happened for you? I just saw a post signed off with "lesbian" and I just imagined a headmate who's source is the general/average oncept of lesbian. I always giggle at concept forms because they're so cool and often unique, people need to give concept forms more attention

Plain chip: Yoi can eat me when meals aren't too close or at meal
Chip with fancy yellow/orange saucey stuff: I am meal, I am all you need
Chip vs nacho debate? Very interesting. Why chip in fancy clothes meal? Just fancy cloth, no need for meal label. Plain chip, very normal chip. As animals, chips no clothes. Chips side, dressed chip is meal
(I WROTE THIS IMPUSLIVELY AS A JOKE BUT I THINK I JUST DISCOVERED WHY HUMANS THINK THEYRE HIGHER HELLPP)
(FANCY CHIP IS DRESSED AND IS IN A SOLID CONTAINER, PLAIN CHIP IS NOT DRESSED BESIDES SEASONING AND LIVES IN CAVE)
(CHIP BAG DEN??? NACHO BOX HOUSE????)
Humans are just fancy chip. Animal is plain chip. Still chip, just dressed different
Constel update for my little guys
Fennec fox and border collie :p

I am so sorry to the anon who gave me wonderful advice I've already put off drinking water and then forgot for 3 hours and the only reason I remembered is because my father gave me my medication
(This isn't a serious post I know that I won't get the routine perfect so fast but I think it's a little goofy)

hi i read your hydration sitution post and wanted to send an ask instead of rb because my social battery is low...
idk how the average joe does it because were disabled which affects our urinary tract but we always have a water bottle take a sip or gulp depending on how we feel and make sure before leaving anywhere to use the restroom no matter if feeling like its a need we just go
or like if we know were staying home for the day just going every so often (it helps our bathrooms are close)
maybe since youre not used to it set alarms have reminders and keep that schedule so your body gets used to it? maybe like an hour or hour and a half for water and use the restroom, itll feel weird yes but building the habit is a good step
wishing you the best!!
Hello! I tried to answer this earlier but it didn't let me :(
Tysm for letting me know about this! Unfortunately there's a law where we can't have our phones at school so I can't set reminders 5/7 days, however I'm trying to get better now that I get small craving-like feelings!
If I was allowed to bring water bottles I had to school I would've probably developed this sooner, even if a little. I only had opaque water bottles growing up in elementary and only transparent ones were allowed (not the craziest rule, we could only wear non-logo socks with two color choices)
I'm actually glad you sent in an ask instead of reblogging, I get really happy when I see asks in my box and someone insys actually deleted the og post about it, so I don't think I would've seen your suggestions had it been a reblog.
Tysm for coming! I hope you have a good day and good sleep :3

You're in an echo chamber. One that bans anyone who goes against it. They will feed you irrelevant distractions of "sources" that don't address the real topic to keep you complacent, but people who link to anything that contradicts the narrative of the hate subreddit will be banned from it just like I was.
The other day, there was a screenshot of a post I made on that subreddit.
A user asked if this was correct. They were immediately fed a bunch of irrelevant sources that only addressed DID. And they were downvoted for even questioning if there might be anything behind what I said.
The links on the comment don't work. But even if they did, WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT DID.
There is a very manipulative trick being used here to focus specifically on DID when they know that this isn't the claim being made.
Let's start by establishing a few facts. Including the actual claim.
What being plural means: Plurality is an umbrella of phenomena where a single-body experiences multiple self-conscious agents of some kind. These agents may be identified by the system as having origins that are spiritual or psychological. Psychologists use a variety of terms to refer to these agents such as "distinct personality states" or "dissociative parts."
Now, with the basic definition out of the way, let's talk about...
The most explicit in using plural community language is in Transgender Mental Health by Dr. Eric Yarbrough. This book was reviewed and published by the American Psychiatric Association.
Below are some choice excerpts from the book's chapter on Plurality.
This establishes the following:
The phenomenon of plurality is not the same as DID. (Which is why the sources discussing DID being caused by trauma are irrelevant distractions.)
Many plurals are happy being plural and not distressed by their plurality. (Important since "distress or impairment" are a criterion of DID and OSDD in the DSM-5.)
Plurality isn't necessarily caused by trauma.
In the World Health Organization's ICD-11, the term used for dissociative identities is "distinct personality states."
The ICD-11 includes the "boundary with normality where it states that you can experience the presence of "two or more distinct personality states" without a mental disorder.
This is, again, using a term it uses synonymously with dissociative identities. It's essentially using different words to say the same things as the Plurality chapter of Transgender Mental Health.
Do you need more sources?
Is the World Health Organization and a book published by the American Psychiatric Association not enough?
How about this study discussing multiplicity as a continuum of experiences?
The one thing that's been lacking for a while has been neurological studies into non-disordered systems. There is a currently-unpublished neurological study that was conducted into tulpamancy systems by Stanford University. Tulpamancy, for those unaware, is a mostly psychological practice of creating headmate through intentional effort.
The neurologist who led this study discussed the results in an AMA in the r/tulpas subreddit:
Essentially, the brain of tulpamancers showed different activity when a tulpa was controlling a limb versus when the host simply imagined someone moving their limbs.
The subreddit and most anti-endo communities are designed to keep you ignorant. Only their view is permitted. Anyone who contradicts their views, anyone who links to academic source that show the existence of endogenic plurality, is banned!
This is how they operate. It's how they keep you hateful. It's how they control you.
Remember, if there was a single paper out there that contradicted these studies, where even one doctor said you need trauma to be plural, r/systemscringe would have provided that by now.
The reason they only give sources about DID is because they can't find even one single doctor to say you need trauma or a disorder to be plural.
They want you to be ignorant. They want you to not find out what the actual professionals and experts think!
Hello leglesscat I see you followed me

In Your Eyes Now by NightCove_thefox as well as other older songs have been stuck in my head recently. I didn't realize how much of a coping mechanism it was.
I can totally see someone listening to it and thinking
Yeah. I didn't think about hurting others either. I was a little girl, I just wanted to see something/someone too.
And then some of them will think about their detachment to the world and others, pushing others away as to not burden them, but hurting both others and themselves in the process.
And all they can think is, "Holy shit. Did I become my abuser?"
In Your Eyes Now is very interesting and I need to do a longer post when I'm not so close to my wifi locking
Controversial take, but I think if you're pretending to be in a minority to genuinely help the minority it's okay.
Let me explain (by retelling a story I saw online)
The main person is a straight cis guy. His friends are straight cis guys here too.
The antagonists are clearly drunk (setting is a bar) and yelling homophobic slurs. They are very agressive and they're clearly showing violent signs
The main straight guy (and all his straight friends) then said they were gay. The other men turned around, yelling at them, the friends continued to say they were gay.
The men beat up the guys. This was the main guy's goal, as there was a very strong bartender on watch and they could get charged with hate crime.
They took the beatings, told the cops they were gay. The men did get arrested on hate crime, as well as assault I believe.
The main guy and his friends were pretending to be gay, yes. But they did it to put harmful people in jail. If they did not do that, eventually someone who was actually gay could've been hurt.
In my opinion, these guys are heros, even if nothing bad happened yet as far as we know.
