I’m so curious. What’s a character you headcanon as a system who doesn’t have any “canonical evidence”? No mind palaces, no possession, no dark reflection, none of the tropes commonly seen in plural headcanons. A character who is a perfect example of “source: I made it the fuck up”

this is like all the tadc art yall are getting from me*. go my system headcanons for kinger and caine. elaboration under the cut
*now outdated you guys have been nice ive got a whole dedicated tag about this shit
kinger stuff
hes always been plural [specifically median] but the differences became more obvious after getting trapped in the circus
his memory barriers are to cope with the circus, so memories usually get moved away from front pretty fast to help with that. the more lucid of the two has this happen less but still a bit in my beautiful world
also theres no name differences this is just Kinger. hes Kinger. yeah.
caine stuff
i didnt include it here but Bubble to me is also part of the system! Bubble specifically runs on a modified bit of caine ai and is an intrusive thoughts holder
all 3 of them share the name Caine! but for simplicity im using their alt names here when applicable :] that does make this next sentence really funny though
Bubbles needling ends up front triggering God in episode 8.
Jax also front triggers Abel during the episode 7 adventure! he and Caine are in cofront during that segment where Jax is flattering him :]
i need to emphasize NO EVIL ALTERS. NONE. God is a protector and anger holder and hes trying to protect the three of them and sees the cast as a threat. also he kind of gets stuck in front for almost all of episode 8. maybeee Caine is booted into cofront at the last bit of episode 8 but im not hashtag certain either way on Caine's presence
OH also Abel was front triggered when they were trying to distract God with flattery. this made him wayyyy more defensive when they started getting mean bc holy shit the kids in cofront and being berated
this gets another bullet point. GOD IS NOT AN EVIL ALTER. i will bomb anyone who says otherwise.
Abel is little bc i think the original ais were very young when caine [ai] absorbed abel [ai]. bonus emotional immaturity points bc child
Sysmilk headcanons! (the graphics are free to use as icons, if you want to ☆)
System: OSDD-1b (lacks amnesia between alters). Unaware that they are a system. They all believe that they are Shadow Milk, who has different "mindsets" he takes on.
Shadow Milk Cookie: Current host. Originated as a protector, now a persecutor. Initially split when Fount was attacked by the angry mob depicted in Dominion of the Beasts 2.
Fount of Knowledge: Ex-host and core. Infrequent solo-fronter, occasional co-fronter.
Young Shepherd Cookie: Syskid and innocence-holder. Only fronts when by himself. Initially split during their imprisonment in the Silver Tree, partially to make up for the system's lack of a childhood.

Thinking about how Whole is never really treated like a person, but a concept in the album.
Thinking about how Soul acknowledges in some ways that he is Whole.
Thinking about Soul being a system that's in denial, despite knowing the truth.
Thinking about Soul saying "Doctor, I can't tell if I'm not me."
Thinking about how Heart and Mind view Whole as all three of them working in unity, or as a state of mind, while Soul is borderline fanaticially obsessive over Whole as though he were a deity.
Thinking about how Whole might not even actually exist at all, and Soul is just chasing an unattainable fantasy.
Thinking about Heart and Mind having had control over the body before, not Soul.
Thinking about Heart and Mind trying to keep Soul from committing suicide.
Thinking about Heart as an emotional alter, Mind as a protector alter, and Soul as a host alter.
Thinking about them finding peace living as a system when Soul can finally admit to himself that he's not a singlet, and accept Heart and Mind as being permanent.
I was going to ask what characters you think have DID but I think it may be easier listing the characters that don’t lmfao
(Also I love your art and your posts I apologize for not interacting more!!!! Cosmos/TSAMS Lunar isn’t really my little guy but if they were written in the way you write them I’d be obsessed)
AHAHAHAHA YESSSSSSS TRUE !!!!! Lunar and Solar and Ruin are my biggest DID truthings but like.... Ignoring the canonical systems (Bloodmoon + Gemini(<- i do think Castor and Pollux are also systems but shhhhh)), there's Sun and Moon and Eclipse and Solar Flare and Nebula and and and—
Like the central theme of so many OG conflicts are so easily viewed thru the lense of plurality.... "Hi it's me, person 1! I have intense stressors and trauma and behavioral patterns that make me feel evil at my very core, so I'm going to forcefully push that out of me to be Good again. What's that? That turned into a person? An evil person who wishes harm because I didn't actually get rid of that, it just got passed onto someone else? ... Uh. That sounds scary let's kill it."
LIKE it's too obvious and I know I'm not the first person to talk about how Eclipse can be a great example of how people treat """evil alters""" (persecutors 90% of the time) and assume the best outcome is to beat them with sticks and lock them in cages until they stop. Which is obviously the worst way to do it lol
BUT AGAIN. THAT'S ALL SO EASY THAT'S SO SURFACE LEVEL STUFF MAN. Plurality is so infused into tsams and it takes like 5 seconds of sniffing around to find anything. Lunar and Solar are some of my fave examples of parallels/contrasts with it tho goddd I hope I make a post about them someday bc I did such a bug ramble to a a dear mutual and I wanna talk more about it to my followers.....
(ALSO THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO ME AHHHH????? DUDE UR SO FINE I'M JUST RLLY GLAD U LIKE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AHHH 🫶 It is always a joy to see u in my notes for anything and I'm honestly just flattered that my visions for Lunar intrigue you enough to be like "okay i dont usually rock w/ this character. but ☝️" LOL I appreciate you :])
