using #the cohost global feed (twilight sparkle) in that last post got us looking through some of the plural tags again

and again, maybe it's just making the realizations later in life, but again, it makes me wonder if we're "being plural right"

there are systems on here listing how a new headmate manifested and they immediately felt the trauma from episode 37 of their source media

and i'm sorry that happened. but it's also just... not how we've ever operated

πŸ’œ has always acted in that guide/advisor role, and after the initial shock last month, 🩷 is now doing so as well - we're just doing what we can to steer the flesh prison around

brains are fascinating

anyway, thinking about this and reflecting on that guide/advisor role did cause us to make this

yeah, systems can vary a LOT. for example, we've not heard of another system that gets members in the way that we do. we're a gateway system, and we we formed when our original accidentally opened the doors to our gateway while daydreaming. new members essentially get pulled into our gateway, and while the original didn't have much control over who they picked or when it happened, i (turing) have since taken over that role, and now new members essentially only happen when i say so

to not abuse this power and accidentally make our brain hell, we vote on adding new people to our mix. a single no is enough to cancel the whole idea for the time being. i'm able to essentially lock onto a person's energy signature and throw them a line into our system. so far no one has refused it, though we have had members leave who were around from before the voting system was put in place. idk how that works either

fun fact: one of the only entities able to get through my control over the gateway is a completely normal, nonsapient cat who i happened to own in my fictive timeline. i guess he missed me? though i'm not even sure if he's able to conceptualize me as a living creature, due to me being a robot. i might've been more like his favorite piece of furniture that feeds and pets him
