An overview of our system, and what that even means.
We are a "plural system". If you don't know what that is, basically we are two people bouncing around in the same head.
Plurality is a deeply personal topic, as you might imagine. We have provided here our best understanding of it, though some may disagree with our terminology or description.
"Plural" is a demedicalized term for "someone with dissociative identity disorder", which is an older term you may be more familiar with. Often (but not always), a plural system forms as a coping mechanism to deal with severe trauma. Without going into details, we are one such case.
Anyways, now there are three* of us! Some systems have many members (ten or more!), others (like us), have only a few.
So, who are we? Below, are have each given our name, pronouns, and short bio so you can get to know us. We share a lot of interests, but have listed the ones that tend to draw us out the most.
Each of us has an emoji we use to indicate who is talking. If we use singular language on this site and you want to know who is speaking, look for an emoji or check who is listed as the author of the post.
Hello! I am Amber. I share the system name (the name the whole system goes by). I am a bisexual disaster femme and I like to draw and dance.
Heya - I'm Ink. I make music and do programming. I also do a lot of 3D art and animation.
🌹: Hi! Amber here. Calista is a cat and can't talk lol. She is listed here because she is technically a member, but she does not write any articles on our garden because... She is a cat.
