Uniquely plural

Everyone experiences plurality differently, there is no right way to be a system. Even if you're endogenic, willogenic, or traumagenic, or others, they're all important and valid

Take some time today to do something nice for your headmates. Take some time to think and sit with yourself and tell yourself that you're valid and your experiences are real.

Sometimes celebrities and media can come in and out of style. Not always is an introject’s source going to be popular, and that’s okay! If you’re an introject whose source used to be popular or have a big following, please know that you’re still special and important just the way you are. This post goes out to y’all!

🌸 Shoutout to introjects whose source was something that went viral or was intensely popular for a brief period of time!

🌹 Shoutout to introjects whose source was popular many years or decades ago!

🌼 Shoutout to introjects who wish their source was as popular as it/they used to be!

🌷 Shoutout to introjects who are trying to create content for or revive their source’s fandom!

🪻 Shoutout to introjects who are relieved that their source is not as popular as it/they used to be!

🌺 Shoutout to introjects whose source comes and goes in fame or popularity!

🌻 Shoutout to introjects whose source is not popular anymore due to being cancelled or called out for harmful/bigoted behavior!

🥀 Shoutout to systems who have been fakeclaimed in the past due to having an introject with a previously popular source!

💐 Shoutout to introjects whose systems do not engage with their source as much due to it not being as popular as it used to be!

Regardless of how you feel about your source’s lack of popularity, please know that your worth and value as an introject and as a member of your system has nothing to do with how many people are interested in your source! You still matter, and your life has worth just the way it is. We hope that you can take care of yourselves and have a wonderful day today!

A question for the plural community:

If a new plural-focused app like Concordia were created, what features would you want to see?

What works well in current tools like Simply Plural or Octocon? What features feel missing or could be improved?

The goal of The Concordia Project is to build something shaped by the community, so hearing what people actually want from a plural app is incredibly valuable! Sharing this post helps a lot!

With the recent announcement about SimplyPlural winding down, a lot of people are looking to move their information elsewhere.

Different people will have different priorities when deciding where to put their system documentation. It's okay if you want to keep using online services to track your system if that's what works for you! (Please keep backups, though- I promise that losing all of your documentation when a service goes down is a bigger loss of time than keeping a local copy of it all.)

tell your headmates you'll try your best and you appreciate their best.

tell the scary, mean lookin headmate they can always come talk & relax if they wanna, they don't need to always be on high alert.

tell the joyous whimsy-filled headmate that it's okay for them to be upset or down sometimes, too, they're more than just their positivity.

tell the scared, in denial headmate to take their time, and that you'll be here for when they're ready. they don't have to feel guilty.

tell the blurry, distant headmate you still care even if you maybe don't get to talk a lot.

weve tried to have 1 host (we wanted to be more like a Proper System. it was very early on in our syscovery), but we always end up with 2 or 3, and even then its more just that the hosts tend to take front, nothing more specific.

and then every 5-6 months we switch systems entirely, to the point where the old host will usually not front for ages, if ever again.

perks of being polyfragmented, i guess.
