Hey guys!

There are 50+ features planned for Concordia, and i can’t wait to introduce them all to you. We are still deep in the building and prototype phase, but here’s the full picture of what’s planned across every part of the app:

Hey guys!

There are 50+ features planned for Concordia, and i can’t wait to introduce them all to you. We are still deep in the building and prototype phase, but here’s the full picture of what’s planned across every part of the app:

Hey guys!

It’s been quite a while since our last update, and I know many of you have already spotted the new icon and banner! The truth is, we’ve been navigating a really difficult period in our life — dealing with homelessness and having to relocate due to domestic violence. Throughout that time, we made the choice to put our energy into researching all the features our wonderful community has been asking for, and building a prototype to get a real sense of what we’re working with going forward. It’s honestly been going great so far! We genuinely thrilled to show you all what we’ve been working on, and I really hope it resonates with you the way it has with us!

Alongside that, I’ve been looking into how to make sure Concordia can be hosted on servers capable of handling high volumes of users, while also keeping everyone’s private data secure. There’s so much that goes into running a platform like this that most of the plural community never sees, and honestly, the devs behind Simply Plural (may they rest easy after all they gave this community) and the other apps currently holding fort for our community deserve a huge amount of credit for everything they put into their work — because wow, it really is a lot!

So please know: Concordia is not going anywhere! There are no plans to end this project, and no reason there ever should be. This is something we’ve been thinking about — and even working on in bits and pieces — for a while now, and we’re genuinely passionate about its future for the long haul. Progress may be gradual, and some stretches will move slower than we’d like, but we’ve always been upfront that Concordia was never going to come together overnight. It’s meant to help close the gaps in stability that apps like this haven’t fully addressed for systems yet, and stability takes a lot of planning.

Over the next few weeks and months, you’ll be hearing from us far more regularly. Alongside this, we’re archiving all previous posts on this blog, and will be rolling out new ones covering everything from Concordia itself, our new star-themed branding, planned features, and even some early looks at the current prototype. We couldn’t be more excited to introduce you all to the new Concordia!

Thank you so much for your support so far. You’ll be hearing more from us soon! ✨

Sending this ask on anon just so I feel more comfortable asking what I want to ask, hope you don't mind.

I have been researching a lot about plurality for years now, and interacted with many systems. I am not sure if what I feel is real or not, but I have been questioning if I could be plural myself.

If you are comfortable with such, could I ask you how you figured out your own plurality? Are there any resources that helped?

Kindest regards, hope you have a nice night/day, and remember to drink water if you haven't already! (PS. If you do not feel comfortable with this, feel free to delete the ask. I am in no way shape or form demanding an answer, just thought I could maybe shoot my shot, if that makes sense.)

No problem! I don’t mind!

Parts of mine I was def scared about cuz we don’t have a disordered system, rather we’re just plural. A lot of it originates with masking and our fear of being alone, so we used to see headmates as imaginary friends or just oddly hyper realistic masks we would put on.

We don’t really have many resources unfortunately sorry about that T-T a lot of it has just been vibes. We feel as if our headmates are individuals in their own rights, and since learning more of what plurality can encompass we like using that label.

There’s definitely some contention about endogenic plurality, so we do not recommend trying to look into that part too deeply T-T

We do highly recommend @/positivitygenic (and particularly filtering for the plural positivity tag) that’s a very good blog for some more information about it ^^

Also if any of my other moots have some stuff feel free to leave it I’m fs not an expert on any of this

i also recommend positivitygenic, although that blog is moreso for affirmation posts. very very important blog though

for looking up terms and sifting through different experiences: pluralpedia!! a catalogue of plural terms, basically. we like looking through it sometimes and reading about different experiences from our own ^^

for learning more about what it's like: the plural tags on tumblr (pluralblr, plurality, actually plural, etc) are a great place to get a feel for it!! if you come across anyone(s) who say they're okay with questions you can also ask for more input. plural tags in particular come with the upside of being inherently inclusive to endo and willogenics (since the terms were made to encompass the entirety of the community) so you wont come across as many unpleasant folks as you would in the multiplicity and dissociative disorder tags (not that those terms are only for "anti-endos", but rather that they weren't made specifically to include endogenics and such, so they're less safe). some people who are anti-endo/willo still post in those tags though, so if you notice anti-endo/willo tags you should probably block that user

(on a similar note, you can also use a blocklist just to be safe. @plural-blocklist is a good one)

if you ever need info on something specific and dont know where to ask though you can also send an ask to us (either here or on our main @we-flew-with-it ) and we'll explain it!

Hello! I'm really glad you felt safe enough to ask me this, it means a lot to us!

A lot of guides I have found, tend to be very limited, or vague in what they are trying to convey. One I was able to find was actually from a neocities site.

How 2 Plural

Other things that help will an alter/fragment/willomate into existence is sometimes music can be a good trigger. Alongside being able to have a vivid imagination. Maybe there is a fictional character you feel very closely knit too, whether in a spiritual way or other, you can see if a fragment can be made through them as a small test. Giving them essentially as much of a personality as you possibly can.

Sometimes making blogs for that specific willomate you want can also be beneficial. Pintrest boards where you save pins for your willomate has also helped. telling your willomate about your day, about routines, about conflicts, asking simple questions, reading stories- all that and more can also help. At the beginning, there's quite a bit of puppeting, as time goes on and they form more, you may begin to notice more autonomous responses and feelings. its important to let that thrive and flourish.

Being able to tap into some form of connection, whether spiritually, emotionally, whatever that may be to you, is most important. It might take a few tries, just remember to be very open about it. If you ever feel like it is overwhelming, it is okay to take a step back, and return to trying another day. Always put yourself and your well being first and foremost.

I hope this helped, even a little, and I wish you luck on your plural journey <3

Others are free to add onto this if they have any other tips to add as well /nf

Never forget where Endo originates from!

creating OCs/consuming media/asking BAH blogs and focusing on those while creating your system can help too! ^^ once you start, it becomes easier.

don't worry if it takes you a while, or if it happens quickly!!! everyone goes at their own pace :)

overall @created-system-hub @pluralhelp @tulpagenic-help and etc are good for tips or just scrolling down on their page!
