Therian & Plural folks, I could use some advice.
Been experiencing more robot desires recently. Last time I suddenly felt an identity, that was actually Lily's identity shortly before syscovery.

How to tell if therian emotions are my own or an undiscovered headmate/new headmate forming???

i knew i was zherian when i said "i'm zherian" and it didn't feel like i was lying so maybe try zhat?

See, I already know I'm therian. At the very least I'm werewolf & dragon at the same time :D

Which kinda makes discovering if I'm anything else muddied.

Okay I had 2 weeks to think about this and. Yeah I think I'm at least Some sort of tech. Am I code/virtual? an Android? Is it more mech pilot? Not sure yet! Its difficult to conceptualize.

I still feel. organic? Semi-organic? Or is this like a meta-organic... hmm hmm...

in reply to @collectionofbones's post:

I think sometimes it makes sense to proceed as though it is a new systemmate until you discover otherwise. This has the risk of creating a new systemmate if there wasn't one to begin with, but it's up to y'all whether that's a bad thing or not. It might also be that it is both a new systemmate and a feeling one of you also have. I guess in general, just be open to the possibilities and reassess often.

It can be hard. In retrospect we can see many instances of Meredith influencing other headmate's before she fronted for the first time. There was usually a feeling that things did not quite fit, in a way that things like this one going drone mode have not inspired. Ultimately we only even suspected Meredith was here when she fronted alone for the first time.

I'm not sure there's neccesarily a way to identify which it is, but "plurality happening" does have a certain feeling to it for us which we can recognise. If you keep an eye on the sensation you might be able to recognise it.

Since the stakes aren't all that high really, the worst that'll happen from you assuming the feelings are yours is finding out otherwise. Though as the other replies said, assuimg this is a new headmate is probably a good way to get a new headmate.
