π± (seedling) - How did you discover you were plural?
I had a plural friend who basically cracked my multiple egg-yolk lol, I kind of had a hunch about it since I was 16 but never really try to explore my plurality until the pandemic. Then I started having a small communication basis with them. Honestly for a long time I felt like i was performing (and for that, faking), but systems sometimes do perform, and that's okay! That doesn't make them fakers!
πΈ (cherry blossom) - What things were major influences upon your system? (e.g. life events both positive and negative; meaningful media; other identities)
My old friend group was a big influence on my system, especially one of my exes (in good and bad ways), also unfortunately the guy who abused me was also a big influence on my systemhood :(
My current partner Nines has had a lot of influence in my systemhood!
In medias, Bill and Ted, John Wick, PokΓ©mon and Kittydog have been big system inspirations (I don't talk about Kittydog's influence on my system as much as I wish I did but it was a lot!)
Another thing that influences my system a lot is theatre/performing, daydreaming and art! Usually things tend to be more vivid and artistic, and the way i see the world in general is usually a bit strange and artistic :]
π (bouquet) - What analogy would you use to describe your system to a curious stranger?
As the name suggests, we are all droplets of ink in a big canvas, we are constantly recreating ourselves and finding more creative ways to make life enjoyable!
