🪻 The lavender looks lovely tonight 🪻

Co-con is short for co-concious.. It means two or more headmates are aware at the same time. But not both of them have control over the body..

Co-front means co-fronting. It's when two or more headmates are fronting at the same time. They both have control over the body..

Both feel pretty similar to us.. so we kind of use the terms interchangably (even if they are different things,,)

For us when either is the case.. we sort of "talk" in our head..? (Sometimes out loud too.. but it makes people think we're weird...) It's an odd feeling because we don't really "hear" a response... We either get a stray thought that isn't ours or we just get "vibes" of what the other person is feeling.. We typically can't have a normal 1-to-1 conversation like with people outside the system..

Co-con and co-front are hard on our brain.. We can't do much because it's too many people and thoughts interfering with each other... But especially co-fronting... It just makes us dissociate really badly and our head hurt really had... We normally can't really think because there's too much going on in our head to focus..

When Catnap and Dogday were both co-con at one point and were texting each other on Antar they had to focus really hard on what the other would say in response... They probably spent an hour or so changing who's fronting/in control while being in co-con so they could type a text... I just know the process was really difficult.... They probably could've just talked internally if they tried really hard.. but I suppose they also just wanted it documented so they can be sure of what the other said.... It was the first time our system had ever done that sort of thing

Dogday and Catnap are probably the ones who work the best together in co-con or front. Generally we try to keep it one person aware at a time, but neither seem to mind the other being there...
