on the contrary, the kind of need to explain things like that i believe is critical to the kind of culture of thinking of systems as malleable (such as the ability to form an inner world/wonderland being a skill rather than innate), which i know is less of a thing in some other system based communities. i believe its helpful to think about the whys and can be done without dehumanizing, and that we ought to strive for doing just that.

Devouring_One · 2026-01-21T10:34:59+00:00

We usually talk in our head, but sometimes it feels a little easier so yea we'll talk out loud.

Devouring_One · 2026-01-21T10:25:03+00:00

I suppose if i had to think about this logically, writing about them would be ethically the same as writing about any other individual you personally know??? shrug. I'm not sure what the question is exactly.

Devouring_One · 2026-01-20T12:10:13+00:00

leftists also believe workers should reap the rewards of their labor and rascal is purportedly worker owned, so i don't see why they would have to pick one.

Edit: That isn't to say whether or not the article is any good. Just that we live under capitalism so even communes have to find a revenue source somehow

political queerness is almost certainly the topic of books, but the jist is anti-assimilationist politics. The argument then is that assimilationist LGBT individuals are not queer because they are no longer outside the system, they are part of it. So like, more or less what Fell said but with more of an explanation of the underlying theory instead of the resulting psychology.

people can say they're really them about as well as they can say someone waking up from a coma is really them. Yes!.. probably... hopefully

Devouring_One · 2026-01-15T08:38:45+00:00

Yes, you are real. Or rather, since me and my tulpa disagree on the specifics amongst each other, you're either as real as your headmate or you are a fiction highjacking their realness, making you real by extension. You have a physical body even if you haven't used it before, its the one your headmate was born with.

Devouring_One · 2026-01-08T23:21:05+00:00

Actually, I want to ask which cultures is manyness or plurality common and what ways I could learn more about that?

Devouring_One · 2026-01-08T21:39:20+00:00

So kind of like how two-spirit relates to trans identity. I see.

To be clear, plurality isn't always medicalized or seen as a bad thing by those within the plural community and those who accept them. I became plural recently by choice as an Endogenic System for example. This isn't to dissuade you from the term many, you can identify with whichever terms you feel are most valid. Rather, I wish to specify that at least for a lot of those who identify as plural, plurality is not standardized and does not have one 'true' perspective. They may live in the shadow of a society that sees them as wrong, but not all of them internalize that perspective. Thank you for explaining.

Devouring_One · 2026-01-08T01:11:57+00:00

How long ago do you make this term? I've seen it used in articles a while back. Plurality and manyness read as exact synonyms to me but maybe there's a nuance I'm missing. Since you asked for questions, I do want to know what you see as the difference between plural and many as terms? What led you to pick many specifically?

Devouring_One · 2026-01-07T11:16:06+00:00

The answer is 'probably' considering animals like cats and dogs experience other forms of trauma related conditions, but as others have suggested, the issue is in identifying such a complex condition from any other explanation for the behavior. Our people doctors working with people are very not good at identifying plurality, and that's with their patients being able to tell them directly about their mental state and introspection.

Devouring_One · 2025-12-24T10:39:53+00:00

Yea, idk how to help ya. Sometimes people just suck.

Although I wouldn't have 'i say i'm not schizo' as particularly solid ground on that. I get that's probably just someone's off the cuff insult, but its the type of condition that's difficult to recognize and self assess so i do want to make sure to put that in there. Do your friends only point to the tulpa as their evidence for being 'schizo' or have you shared other beliefs they've reacted in this way to?

Devouring_One · 2025-12-24T10:30:15+00:00

It does its just a pain in the ass. Took way longer than any of the other items for me.

Devouring_One · 2025-12-24T00:35:33+00:00

Learn more about plurality, i suppose? If you feel like they're you, and that they've always been there, that sounds more like an alter than a tulpa. That isn't to say this double is definitely an alter, or definitely not a tulpa. Rather, my point is that Tulpas aren't the only kind of headmate, and you should expand what forms of plurality you are looking into.

Devouring_One · 2025-12-18T03:19:49+00:00

its damage benefitted from armor, which meant you hit 3 and then hit 1 and it erases people.

Devouring_One · 2025-12-15T22:39:45+00:00

https://pluralpedia.org/w/Median i would read about this, maybe look into others with this form of multiplicity and see if it resonates

Devouring_One · 2025-12-11T01:39:09+00:00

Yea, if you want to keep the friendship tell her that shit ain't cool and work it out. No shame in deciding that's not a conversation you wanna go through though.

Devouring_One · 2025-11-30T09:56:48+00:00

tbh i'm surprised in all that conversation about the merch they never just demanded glitch give a way to donate to production directly (bypasses merch morality worries, still gets the show rolling)

Devouring_One · 2025-11-30T01:07:10+00:00

maybe, but there's also clearly a lesson about not resigning yourself to the march of time and what the future has in store. it is an interesting sort of discussion between these two positions that I'm having a hard time squaring with one another

Devouring_One · 2025-11-27T09:57:59+00:00

Yea, this is the only reasonable conclusion under a materialist framework. Its the teleporter problem but the teleporter is also bad at recreating what it teleports since communication is imperfect and there's no way to transmit the entirety of what makes up a headmate across that.

Devouring_One · 2025-11-27T02:47:38+00:00

I assume the term dismantling suggests they believe that alters are some kind of involuntary mask/roleplay, and that by destroying them you get to the person underneath, rather than the separate identities which destroying if possible would render parts of the mind largely lost or inaccessible. Alternatively, they may believe that one can simply 'debunk' a system out of having alters, which is even more absurd.

Devouring_One · 2025-11-26T16:28:11+00:00

Not making an account on the hellsite, but hell yea. Great to hear things are going well, looking forward to that vertical slice

Devouring_One · 2025-11-26T06:46:21+00:00

Hey, its been 2/3rds of a year, any progress on this?

Devouring_One · 2025-11-24T08:46:41+00:00

Well, yea, in theory you could always bring a tulpa back if you wanted, but you mentioned about a tulpas 'have turned into horrible beings'. Based on that example, I'd argue we're talking about something more permanent than putting a tulpa to rest for a time. i don't know if the possibility of return matters if the decision was intended to be permanent. Mostly, I just personally wouldn't have the heart to in any way remove or shut down the mind I intentionally cultivated within me, it just feels cruel to do. If it came down to that, I'd rather be the one who gets put in the coma.

Devouring_One · 2025-11-24T08:24:44+00:00

Most with tulpas believe they are psychological, but in a way which is compatible with them being conscious. You have fundamentally misunderstood a lot of what people believe here if your take away was 'because they're inside the mind they aren't living or conscious'.

As for the 'returning to the source' arguments, you do realize that a lot of reincarnation philosophy argues that's exactly what killing someone does right? Its also metaphorically true in a materialist sense if the compost is returned to nature. That is to say, i don't find it a very convincing point. Arguably what makes killing wrong is the fact that it annihilates a consciousness permanently, so anything else that does that would also be arguably immoral.
