Florida (Alterhu)man

Florida (Alterhu)man is a Discord server for plural systems, therianthropes, otherkin, and other alterhumans who live in or near the southeastern USA. Some states in or near there are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Our gated lobby offers some protection for the privacy of who lives where. We have an online reference library of advice for safer meet-ups and other resources for keeping our communities healthy and informed.

As of this writing, our server has slightly more than a hundred members. It has been active since we opened more than a year ago in August 2024. We welcome plural systems of any origins and types: we're endogenic-safe, and we have PluralKit and Tupperbox. It's a safe space for LGBTQIA, people of color, and people with disabilities.

We don't allow aduIt content, but only aduIts may join this server because it's for finding local events and friends to meet, and we don’t want to encourage young ones to do that, for their safety.

Soulbonding comes naturally to me. I can reach out to any 'character' and forge a connection to them especially ones that are made by me with ease.

The problem is... the difficulty that comes with sustaining that connection. I haven't talked to any of them for years now, and I'm scared to reach out to new 'characters' I feel drawn to, out of embarrassment.

See, whenever I soulbonded (I didn't even know such a thing existed at the time) when I was younger it was out of good fun. Nowadays it feels like I only reach out to them during my time of need, such as needing someone to fulfil the role of a safe figure I never had growing up. An older brother specifically. I'm scared to reach out to him because I feel this deep familial need for him that only he can fulfil.

My question is— is it okay? Is it okay to reach out to this person telepathically just to tell them "Hey, this might be an invasion of privacy, but I feel a sibling-y connection with you. Can you be my older brother?"

(I answered this to the anon originally on their post in the r/plural subreddit, but copy-pasting here for other potential soulbonders and those curious)

Hey, hey, fellow soulbonder/munbonder! Let me try to give some specific advice from personal experience, since I had and do have a bond that is like a brother figure for me.

To start, you have to ask yourself, would this character that you want to reach out to be amicable to the idea of being like a brother to you, does his personality serve that type of relationship, and if he doesn't currently (as depicted in his canon), could he potentially be if you're willing to be patient and give him a space of stability, kindness, acceptance, and caring that could allow him to then could become a better version of himself? It is absolutely not ridiculously or wrong for you to want a living character to become your brother, but you have to think about more than just your own desires, but also about what he could potentially want or be okay with and also expect and know that that type of relationship won't always happen over night, you have to put effort into it.

After you have asked yourself some of the hard questions about your feelings and logicking out if it could be a good fit and that you are willing to put in the work towards a relationship to someone who will see you as a complete stranger at the beginning, and you feel settled on the answers and you're okay with however it may work out, then you can reach out to him and ask.

Definitely start with explaining who you are and why you admire who he is and feel drawn to him first, then explain why you are reaching out and ask him that, after you two get to know each other, if he could see you like a little sibling eventually. Be prepared for any answer you might get, but I'd say, if you truly know his character and answered the questions I suggested above, the most likely answer will be, "possibly, I'd have to meet you first." or "No... I don't know, but we can still meet and become friends." and the best possible one, "Sure I can, kid."

Since we really didn’t have a great word to describe this, we decided to coin our own. 

Famtive definition: a sysmate who forms with a familial relationship to you. This could mean an in-system sibling, parent, child, etc. 

We wanted to coin this term specifically due to child-relation members forming between ours and our partners’ systems. 

Hydra: May 2025 (Plurality), a zine created by Beepbird.

Content: Rated G.

Medium: Book. Zine. Comic.

Length: 16 pages, with covers.

About: An illustrated introduction to what plurality is and how different it can be for one person to the next. As described by the creator, Beepbird,

"This issue focuses on defining plurality for those who may not be familiar with the concept, as well as reassuring plural folks that they're not alone."

As a reviewer who has been hanging around plurals and plural-friendly communities for more than ten years, and who is in committed loving relationships with a couple of plurals now, this is my favorite introduction to plurality because it shows how plurality comes in many forms and each plural system is unique.

Hi!

Here's a picrew approximation of yours truly if you need to put a face to the nonsense! There's a bunch of us but I'll be running this blog on my own, it looks like!

The name situation is all over the place! I'm pretty sure the brainstem of this thing is just compacted anxiety about having to pick names for the fictional characters it makes up, so when I try to draw one, it bites!

Aster for now! But I'm really only confident about the first letter! 💖

What's my deal? I'm your big sister. Yes, even if you're older than me.

Anyway, the blog–

There's a lot of posts in which people are doubting their plurality, or retracting statements of its existence, probably because they got bullied in the syscourse tags.

So here is a post I liked on what may count as plural, which is not a medical term and was chosen on purpose. I'd like this place to serve as a display case for all the little moments that had us going "Oh, right. There's a crowd here," outside of what the medical system and its fandom insist on centering around suffering and disorder. Unpleasant/negative examples can still be submitted, I just refuse to make them the Only Thing.

Examples from our actual life blow the cut!

Currently, there isn't a content tagging system but I'll figure something out, feel free to send asks suggesting warnings you think you'd need.
