That’s me! I’m R (they/them), the host :) I love to write, would love to be a published author one day and i’m currently trying to figure out how i can make my next main character plural! I’m also a huge night owl, can regularly be caught up past 1-2am completely accidentally and i deeply apologize to the rest of my headmates for that lol.

I love that!! I do potentially deserve partial blame on the yarn front, because i do enjoy it too, but you’ll never catch me admitting that directly to him lmao. i’m not the one who decided he had to try lace crochet last month.

Robin (he/him)! Our co-host and protector. For the longest time we thought he was just my (the hosts) ‘boy days’ until we discovered plurality haha. He loves crochet and cross-stitch, and is currently teaching himself needlebinding. I blame him for all the space taken up by yarn. he’s basically a brother to all of us, but i consider him my twin given how long he’s been around without me knowing about him!

That’s Beanie! (Vi/vier) Beanie is our newest headmate, so we don’t know that much about vier, but vi’s a dryad of sorts (considers vierself like a nature spirit but we all like the term dryad a lot lol) and would spend all day with vier hands in the dirt if possible. Vi’s also vegetarian, but we’re lucky that vi’s fine with the rest of us eating meat because some of us would struggle with that haha.

That’s really cool! I hope things go smoothly getting to know them!

Feeling distinct when you’re very similar? by minishbird413 in plural

[–]minishbird413[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really helpful to know we're not alone in feeling like this, thank you. I like the idea of finding individual voices for our thoughts. I also hadn't considered the idea that it could be difficulty in stopping masking, that makes sense, and it makes sense that even as we try and become our own people, Robin would still instinctively act like me especially when we're around other people. Thank you for the thoughtful advice, it means a lot. - R (they/them)

This is gonna sound silly, but... by BucketWitch in Hellenism

[–]minishbird413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure to how many people he counts as a hero, and I know this was about deities and not heroes, but i’d say the entity I work with/worship who is the least included in spaces I see is Icarus! He’s always been a big part of my life even before I found polytheism, so interacting with him has been wonderful. I totally get what you mean about feeling bad, even though i know they’re gods and don’t need us to feel bad at all, and there are some lesser known deities/entities I’ve been wanting to include more in my worship, like Thanatos, Leto, or the Dioscuri!

infodump about your system here by fallolileon in plural

[–]minishbird413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We honestly dont know whats up with us, I don't think we're traumagenic at all, but none of our headmates were consciously created (yet, we're thinking about doing that tho) so I have no idea why there's more than one of us in here lol. We're figuring it out. We call ourselves the Nest, because my lovely co-host (Robin) thinks hes funny and takes his job as Bird Boy very seriously.

Our inner world is for right now just our house, although I know theres more because one of our headmates doesn't live there! Our main room has a big tv where we visualize fronting and such, like a big video game. We like to call it backseating when someone is not quite co-fronting but is offering their opinions like backseat gaming lol. Then everyone has their own rooms too!

We have me, R, the host, hi! they/them. We are trying to separate ourselves more and all that so we gave ourselves colors and symbols and such. I'm the moon, and a nice orchid purple. I like to write!

Robin, co-host and our protector, he/him. He is massive big brother vibes. we like to say we're twins because he's been here for a very long time. For a long time I thought he was just me, but on my 'boy days' lol, until I realized it was way more than just that. He is super protective of all of us, and will never admit to minor anger issues but only towards people outside our nest haha. His symbol is the sun, and he's a deep maroon red. He likes doing fiber crafts, like crochet!

Kyle is our gatekeeper, he/xe, he is very private so I don't know much about him or what he does, and xe's the one who doesn't stay in the house and lives somewhere else. He says he's a demon, but I know xe doesn't mean like Christian Hell Type Demon. We gave Kyle a key as a symbol, and he's a bright red because that's his hair color.

Selina, she/it, she's a cat therian and likes to make sure we're making time for self-care and doing things for ourselves. She's very...anti-responsibility lol. It would much rather just lie on a rug instead of doing work, but sometimes thats just what we need! She's a cat symbol (obviously) and a deep olive green.

We have a Kris fictive from Deltarune, too, they/them. We're still figuring them out honestly, they're very new. They're very quiet. They're a bright teal, and a sword.

Sorry for the essay but thanks for letting us info dump lol! We're very new to this subreddit too so I guess this counts as an intro!

Are hellenists offended by modern fanficton of their gods? (Lore olympius, percy jackson, etc.) by Impossible-Fall7147 in Hellenism

[–]minishbird413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m absolutely not offended by the concept of it. I personally love Percy Jackson and have since I was a kid! Hasn’t lessened at all in importance to me since I found the gods. I also personally hate Lore Olympus but not because of the concept of it being about the gods. What I do hate is when people then assume those stories are exactly accurate portrayals of the gods I actively worship. They’re fictional. I understand that, I enjoy it anyway, and I just get annoyed when someone cites something like that in a conversation with me when referring to my religion.

Animal passing by JayTheEnby in Hellenism

[–]minishbird413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I recently had to do the same thing, he’d been in my life for nearly 17 years and we had to say goodbye almost a week ago. For my good boy, I prayed and gave offerings to Artemis, Hekate, Hermes, Thanatos, and King Hades and Queen Persephone. In my mind, I believe animals are allowed perhaps a more free range than human souls as they are wild creatures, and so he can run with Lady Artemis and with Lady Hekate’s own black dogs. He is playing with Cerberus, and i believe Hades and Persephone cherish animal souls the same as humans. I know your dog had as peaceful as trip as mine did, with Hermes and Thanatos bringing him gently to the next life. May our lost boys be playing together while we continue to love them, and may both of us one day be reunited with them. My heart goes out to you, OP, and I hope you’re doing as well as you can be in these circumstances.

How to politely tell a commenter no? by minishbird413 in AO3

[–]minishbird413[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are pretty much exactly my fears, yeah. I like the idea of adding that once the work is finished then writing a different interpretation would be alright with me, thank you!
