self discovery i think

hi! we see a lot of systems who want to make plural comics but don't know where to start! so we thought we might help this by making 30 prompts to spark people to make comics! feel free to do as many or as little as you want! you can do them randomly or as a daily comic challenge, etc. feel free to tag us in your comics if you use these so we can share them to this blog/get excited for you!

Make a comic about:

An in-system inside joke

a disagreement in system

an unexpected agreement in system

your origins

A movie you& watched recently

Riding the train/bus/tram/car together

An unpopular opinion

A pet-peeve

A moment of solidarity

 Something that makes you& sad

 Coming out or being closeted

 A piece of media you& think feels plural

 Plural rep you&’d like to see more of

 Accommodations that help you&

 What switching feels like

 What consciousness feels like

 A childhood comfort object

 Something that brings you& plural joy

 Experiences with doctors

 Experiences in work/your& job

 non-humanity

 Being fictionfolk

 A collective goal or aspiration

 In-system relationships

 Created plurality

 What memory feels like

 Subtle plural pride

 Common questions people ask you&

 A real-life plural icon you& look up to

 What you& imagine a plural future would look like

1. actually know that they're systems (this is rare. being online makes resources on figuring it out WAY more accessible) 2. happen to exist in the same online space as you, the tumblr user reading this 3. are, as a result, usually younger and/or autistic and/or queer, which are all factors that can influence individual alters' identities.

so of COURSE you think we're all like this. you're looking at one damn tree instead of the whole forest!!! there are systems who are 60 years old and never had the resources to figure out what was going on. there are systems who are 30 and barely use social media for personal reasons. there are systems who are 20 and don't tell anyone because of the cruelty they've faced every time they try. there are systems who are 15 and are SO relieved to have answers to why everything felt weird and wrong their whole life, so they shout it from the rooftops. your limited interactions with systems in specific online spaces does not represent the majority of systems on earth.

With the recent announcement about SimplyPlural winding down, a lot of people are looking to move their information elsewhere.

Different people will have different priorities when deciding where to put their system documentation. It's okay if you want to keep using online services to track your system if that's what works for you! (Please keep backups, though- I promise that losing all of your documentation when a service goes down is a bigger loss of time than keeping a local copy of it all.)

AWFUL NEWS SIMPLY PLURAL USERS

Anyway does anysys know good alternatives to simply plural? Other than pluralkit. Something with a fronting tracker/space to describe headmates like custom fields etc would be best. We're looking at Lighthouse & Octocon right now

Ughhhh whyyyyyy
