actually we CAN feel like our headmates are just some silly little fellas, thank you very much. we can romanticize our system, be proud to be plural, express ourselves loudly, and create hundreds of new members just because it’s fun!! we can be cringe and not give a damn what others think of the validity of our experience!! we can be happy to be a system and we can have as many fictives and roles and such we want!! we can exist on our own silly lil terms and that’s epic :3

If you want to be a system you can be, this is your sign to become plural.

It is entirely okay to want to be plural. It is okay to want to be more plural. There is no moral failing over the desire to become [more] plural. You are not faking a disorder. You are not ableist. You are not doing anything wrong. You are allowed to want to be [more] plural. You are allowed to look into becoming [more] plural. It is not bad. It is not gross. It is not evil. You are not evil. You are allowed to feel the way you do.

System roles are like a lot of labels, they're useful as self-descriptors to help both yourself and others better understand you but, when applied as rigid, prescriptive boxes that all must fit neatly into, they become unhelpful at best and often harmful and restrictive.
