5. If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know) - Who would be the best at phone sex and why?

Don't shoot me guys but honestly Matty. like that man doesn't shut the fuck up and he's got enough ridiculous confidence to say something insane over the phone. Also that clip of him saying 'stop thinking I hate when you do that' is hot I'm sorry.

6. Guys - Who do you realistically think out of the guys have actually shagged each other?

George and Ross have at least snogged.

7. Settle Down - Who on 75blr is the most perverted?

Me and George. Not one doubt about it, and @officalgeorgestaniel is an official runner up for her insane Charli posts, I love it.

15. Girls - Who would be the fittest member if they were girls?

I think George would be the sexiest girl but Adam would be the cutest.

21. Undo - Who can undo a bra the fastest?

we’ve been hanging around plural tumblr for over five years and uhhh there’s a lot of. Not Great info on this site, by which i mean there’s a lot that made us question what we were experiencing and repress shit rather than exploring it

so we wanted to list a few things that we wish we knew when we were first exploring our system (note: we use parts language cuz we prefer that!!)

“possession”-style amnesia (ie, complete blackouts in which you act dramatically different) is relatively rare and only emphasized so much in psychiatric literature because it’s comparatively easy to diagnose and observe from an outside perspective. amnesia can also look like periods of time being a blur, or being unable to piece events together along a timeline (among other things)

blurring is normal. identity confusion is normal. not knowing who is fronting at a given moment is normal and practicing internal communication can help with this

in most cases, inner worlds are intentionally created/developed and do not form of their own accord. if you don’t have an inner world that comes naturally to you, that’s ok! there are techniques you can use to make them - i outlined what we did here. writing out descriptions of interior spaces or what parts look like isn’t cheating or faking!!!

DID and OSDD are less about sharing a headspace with a bunch of randos than they are about sharing a headspace with a bunch of versions of yourself that have adapted to different situations. i think if someone told us ages ago that “it’s like carrying around old versions of yourself and having their thoughts and memories and needs still living in you” it would have made so much more sense to us

similar to above, it’s pretty normal for multiple parts in one system to have interests that overlap. examining chronology (ie what parts are most active at what points in our life) has helped a lot to distinguish parts with similar interests or emotional responses

different people visualize things differently and not having a clear visual or other sensory impression of parts doesn’t mean they’re not real

noticing how parts interact with each other and feel about each other is a really useful way to get a better understanding of the system

a private discord server is really great for writing out conversations between parts

parts form for reasons. having introjects from media you really love isn’t abnormal or cringey - if there’s some part of you that has found a reason to identify with or take on qualities from a character that's important to you, that’s okay and makes perfect sense! similarly, it’s i think pretty normal to have fictives from media you might not expect right away, especially kids’ media (a lot of us use it to escape stressful/traumatic situations as kids, so forming parts based on characters from such media makes sense!)

similarly, introjects of irl people you know/have known don’t mean something is wrong with you, although it can be really uncomfortable or frightening. the important thing is to remember that these parts are not literally those people, and if you work and communicate with them you can change aspects of them (ime explaining “hey, i get youre trying to help but this is really uncomfortable and i need you to change this however you can” is a good start, although it may not work in and of itself)
