Well the notes might work.
But the headmates probably won't as we (ShaySubpack) don't ever leave front so that isn't our memory issue. And while some of the others front, they usually do so more when we aren't around those we aren't "out to" as plural (and it wouldn't probably be safe to be out). So they usually don't have as many of the "important" memories, lol.
But again the notes idea is definitely helpful so thanks!!

Do any beings have any advice/tips for disabled beings who struggle with motivation and memory? The main things that we know (keyword is know) are relevant here are that we are autistic, ADHD, and have depression.
Also normal reminders on our phone don't tend to work as we just get rid of them when they show up without even looking at what they are for. So way(s) to get around that would also be helpful.
Basically, we are just asking for tips/advice for disabled beings.

Well, we have Okami and Zuki who are cousins in their source, lol.
We also have what seems like 2 Phalens and we aren't quite sure what exactly is up with them, lol. (If you want to learn more about either of them, just send an ask about them).
Honestly, our brain isn't wanting to work rn, lol. So this seems to be all that we can say rn. We might reblog again if we think of more, lol.

What sorts of dynamics exist within your system?
How do sub packs affect said dynamics?
And who the hell is Okami🌔?
-Icky🤍
Not sure how to answer your first two questions, lol.
Okami is an MHA/BNHA fictive. They are my (Zuki's) cousin. We haven't really talked about them much and they haven't talked outside of our pack much if at all, lol.
- ShaySubpack 🐾 more specifically Zuki 🪶
Thanks for answering!!
We haven't fully looked at the video yet but we wanted to respond a bit to the side note thing (also maybe the tags?).
Yeah google is very good for things, lol. We just mainly sent the ask cause we saw that you had said that you wanted some asks sent, lol.
We had some ASL classes (read: was in ASL 1 two times cause we aren't good with school and that includes college, lol). We would love to take more classes for ASL but we have a lot of difficulties with school and stuff so that seems like it might not happen.
While we might not be deaf (although we do have difficulties with hearing, lol), the reason we love ASL and learning it is that we have verbal shutdowns (others tend to refer to this kind of thing as "going nonverbal" but that's not really correct). So while ASL might not be our language or culture, to us it is more than just a "fun fact". [This was just us explaining, we aren't upset with you saying the thing about it being a fun fact].
Once again, thanks for answering our ask!

Hello! We saw your "speak your language day" post.
We know a bit of ASL ourselves but would definitely love to learn more!
Do you know how to sign things like "plural" (as in the plurality community), "alterhuman", "nonhuman", and just stuff like that? We would love to learn if there are signs for some of our communities even though there probably isn't, lol.
If there aren't any signs for those, we would just love to learn different signs for (nonhuman) animals! Especially canines (wolves, dogs, jackals, etc.) and felines (cats, tigers, cheetahs, etc.)
- Shay 🐾
English:
I’m still a student so I’m not an ASL authority, remember that. But, for plural I would maybe sign like [listing things], or… depends on how many you feel, like [list 2] [list 3] [list 4] [list 5] personalities, or self, [multiple self]. Maybe, depends. For- I’ve seen human signed with the H handshape like [body] becomes [human] like [person] becomes [human]. So maybe with other signs added before, like [not human] or [other human]. Or [not human] [other human]. Like that. There’s not a lot of signs for specific identities like that. But for other animal signs, the sign for animal is [animal]. I don’t know a lot… like, I know dog, I know cat, but specific types…. Like, a lot is describing what it looks like. I don’t know if tiger sign exists already, it probably does, I would try signing it by explaining what it looks like. Like, orange cat, large with black stripes down it, like that. Yeah. I hope that helps. Bye!
(Side note: Not signed just adding something. If you’re curious about a sign, google is your friend. Lots of signs can be found online and signs can vary depending on the region. Some signs in the state I’m from are very different from signs elsewhere. Look online and if trying to communicate with deaf people in your area keep in mind that many signs can be localized! Just cause I sign something one way doesn’t mean a deaf person from your state is wrong for signing it another. Far from it! Understand the culture of your area, understand deaf culture, and remember, for you it may be a fun fact, for them it’s their language. Be aware and have fun signing!)

Gonna talk more about this.
For this post, we/us/our/etc. is being used for just the Shay Subpack unless otherwise stated.
We are all different "sides" or "facets" or "parts" of Shay, which is different from the rest of the pack.
They are separate from us in a way that's different. They are their own beings through and through. We aren't.
We are mainly just different lives that Shay has lived. Though there are some things that are slightly different between us. For example, Zuki is definitely cupioromantic, while both Cyan & Akay definitely aren't (and Shay [this life's version] is totally confused on their romanticity & sexuality). But overall, we are mainly just different "parts" of Shay.
We don't quite know if this makes us median or not, and maybe it's not that important to know, but we still would love to hear what others think.
Edit: [Also, we are pretty sure all of us had Shay in our names (middle name) in all of our lives, so there's that, lol. It's how Shay came up with using that online from having Shay as a middle name as Zuki]
- Shay Subpack 🐾🪶🩵🖌
We'd love to hear more about median plurals.
Cause we are kinda wondering if we (Shay subpack) are a median subpack cause we are technically all parts of Shay.
We are different from our other packmates. They are distinct. They are their own beings in a way that we in the Shay subpack aren't.
We'd just love to hear more about median plurals and their experiences.
- Shay Subpack 🐾🪶🩵🖌
We are gonna just call us (Shay & "kins") a subpack. If we end up being technically "wrong" with that term, then oh well.
- Shay 🐾
We have a question for plural beings.
How do you know if you are a subsystem/part of a subsystem?
We are now kinda questioning if "me" (Shay and "my" kins) are technically a subpack (we use pack instead of system).
We/I get uncomfortable at times saying I/me/my/etc when it should fit (example; my wings) and would much rather say we/us/our/etc at those times. But then there are also times when we/I seem to have no real problem with I/me/my/etc.
Even if we figure out that we are a subpack in our pack, we would still probably just refer to the "kins" as just that cause fictive feels weird for them?
Honestly, we are just pretty confused, lol.
Like "my kins" feel like "me" more than my/our other packmates, but idk.

(Just a little note from us)
We don't hate humans or humanity. We do have a bit of a general distrust towards humans we don't really know [much like some of the theriform versions of the creatures we are].
We do have (probably) human friends. We have had human friends in past lives. As stated, we do not hate humans. However, we are very cautious around unknown humans, and that doesn't make us bad or anything.
Hell, most humans would be cautious around some of the theriforms of our "types" (wild canines, wild felines, dragons, etc). And we would not hold that against them.
Hopefully, this is not very off-topic of the original post. We are autistic and adhd so this might not be the place and time for this, and if it isn't, we very much apologize. We are mostly just thinking we would say this now because, at least in our head, it is slightly tied in with the original post. (None of this would be an excuse, just an explanation, btw).

Where are my nonhumans and alterhumans that love humanity?? I feel like everyone in the alterhuman community suddenly hates humans and it’s pretty sad to see. A creatures existence is not inherently good or bad, that includes humans too.
Where are my creatures who enjoy being around humans? Have human friends? Where are my overhumans and humankins?
