Some logistics first...
- Y'all's collective name and pronouns, if applicable?
Our collective name is either (depending on who's fronting and what each fronter prefers) either the Sunkern-Plus System or just simply Francis, with any of our individual names as our preferred names for interacting with. Collectively we go by they/them and it/its most consistently, with other system members using xe/xem, any pronouns (particularly being fond of he/him), or any neopronouns (particularly sea/mer).
- Who are people most likely to be interacting with? What are their names and pronouns?
Well, haha, it very much varies, as if you were to ask us this years ago, we would've said "Francis George, xe/they, Sully Marie, it/she, Melody/Key/Pearl, she/her, and Nikolai, he/him". However, a lot of self-discovery and front changes later would have to make us say that it's more of a core median system of main fronters with only small internal differences, those being Francis George (xe/it/they/any neos), Francis Laine (any pronouns), Francis Jean (xe/it/they/any neos), and Francis Kyle (they/xe/any neos). However, there is a branch of more distinct system members that I would classify as more traditionally "multiple" or "plural" though I'm personally averse to any labels less vague than "plural", "mediple" (combination of median and multiple), or "system from OCD" (it's complicated), with some of the more distinct alters that front being me, Francis Null (it/they), Hexa (they/it/any neos), Sprinkles (xe/it/they/pups), and Mynah (they/it/shi). Most of these, either the core four or the more distinct "branch" alters are who you'd be interacting with the most.
- If folks in the system have their own Cohost pages, what are their handles?
lmao we pretty much share all our stuff. I couldn't handle individual stuff because All of us would instantly forget.
- Is there anything that people should keep in mind when interacting with you all? (Like if you have memory issues, terms to avoid, littles who might be around, and so on.)
We have a very prominent little who's also a trauma holder and OCD symptom holder (primarily harm and responsibility OCD) who fronts frequently under stress. Fae's less stressed than fae was when fae was first fronting, but keep in mind fae is STILL a little (about emotionally at the level of a very intellectually gifted 12 year old) and very much easily stressed and VERY sex repulsed. The most thing fae can handle of any sexual content is hand holding. Fae is NOT conservative because of that, fae is a little and trauma holder who probably had to deal with a lot of the Uncomfortable stuff we were dealing with from 8-12, which is faer general age range. Please be cautious when interacting with Pearl, and act normal around faer but also treat fae like...a mature 12 year old. Please.
Onto the fun stuff!
- Describe the system in one sentence! (Use as few plural community-specific labels as possible - this is less about perfectly describing what type of system y'all are, and more about your vibes!)
Visual-novel branch structure.
- What are some interests that y'all share? (Like fandoms, hobbies, dinosaurs...)
Fighting games, literary theory, Megaman Battle Network, Pokemon and other types of monster taming games where the friendship with the monster is the most important part (god Palworld would probably traumatize Pearl), visual novels (especially fucked up denpa types), weird genreless books in general, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Adolescence of Utena, the Imperial Radch series, meta analysis on greyromantic, greysexual, quoiromantic, and quoisexual identities, and books by people from the Global South and by independent trans, particularly BIPOC transfeminine or nonbinary, authors.
- A weird fact about the system?
You know that "visual-novel branch structure" answer I used to describe our system? That's literally how our system works. I'm literally a branch off from Francis George after getting very pissed off about a disability studies book by an author I'm pretty sure didn't mean any harm because it didn't include our body's very salient disability experience of "too mentally ill, autistic, and immature to work".
- Any rituals or traditions (not necessarily religious ones) specific to the system?
Not particularly.
- What about in-jokes?
If I could remember, I would tell you.
- What causes the most controversy (non-serious) amongst y'all? (Like food opinions, which way the toilet paper should hang - little things like that.)
Unfortunately stuff like ace discourse or whatever lmao.
- If your physical body could be anything that y'all wanted it to be, what would you make it?
Personally, if MY body could be anything I wanted, I would be a physically genderless, bald, fat, humanoid robot with nipple-like usb cords, a flat and broad chest, a big belly, and no genitals. Not all of the system agrees on this. Personally, Francis Laine has been wanting to look like faer original source as of late (too embarrassed to say who it is because it's from an objectively bad series that did help us cope with abuse related trauma).
Closing
- Free space! Share something neat y'all have made or are working on. Or a picture of your cat. Or anything else you'd like folks to see.
I could share the Adolescence of Utena essay I wrote after seeing the movie and really enjoying it but that is like 10 1/4th pages long.
- Are y'all looking for new pals/mutuals/people to follow? If so, are you looking to connect only with other plural folks, or are you cool with singlets as well?
Sure! Plural people + singlets and medians and really anyone in the gray area of plural and singlet who don't label their experiences are all willing to follow me!
- Lastly, where should folks go if they want to know more about you all? (Like a personal website!)
I don't have one, this is probably the only place.
