We reworked our system mapping post into a zine!

Just, all of it?

Like holy shit, we have no way of knowing if Toby MEANT to

But just look at all this:

The constant repeating of the general phrase "two [X] are better than one (three, not so much)"

The Mike Trio. Three people who all timeshare the identity of "Mike"

"I'm not feeling very Pluey today" like c'mon

Clover is literally three people in one body (with three heads even!)

Just constant references to things coming in groups of three

The entire Kris/SOUL thing of "two people in one body and one is with the antagonists, but they still both have to work together to survive"

Light World and Dark World Kris have different mannerisms and talents (ie. Dark World Kris flirts, Light World Kris does not)

Susie: "Sometimes they mumble, sometimes they yell" (talking about Kris's personality changes recently. She's cool with it, meanwhile their childhood friend probably thinks they're possessed, like a weirdo would)

Light World Kris quite literally SWITCHES into Dark World Kris after getting the egg in Mancountry (described by the Forgotten Man suggesting they "get dressed")

Also the above two are usually referred to as "green apple" and "blueberry" in fandom, with the SOUL as "red apple" 🍏🍎🫐

* (You wonder if Susie would recognize you if you changed to a different fruit) I'm going to fucking scream

maybe plurality is kindness. A kindness of the brain extended to a tiredness of the soul.

But we were plural before SP, we used Google Sheets to both organize and share info about ourselves, and plurals before Google used pen and paper and tables made from ASCII. You will survive this. You can pivot to a different tool. You can create your own. There are already other people looking to make their own apps and tools. It's going to be okay.

And I'm genuinely pissed at how many people are dismissive of the mental health of SP's dev, apparylis. (I may be spelling that wrong. Apologies if so.) Thousands of hours of unpaid labor over the past several years, maybe even tens of thousands, and the way people are talking about them, I'm just like. Ungrateful much?

here is the under 18 version

and here is the over 18 version

they are separated because i know a lot more kids are in these communities than adults, and i'd like to see how the survey results end up different! they are exactly the same, with the only exception being the age question at the start.
