Yes Absolutely,

struggling with your identity?

try dissociation!!

dissociating from my identity worked great for the last 20 years.

i mean i am 6 people now but im sure thats completely unrelated.

the "i just feel like using 'we' instead of 'I'" to plural pipeline

our communication is pretty unreliable most of the time, but yesterday we had a full day of absolutely brilliant communication.

we spent the whole day playing fallout london together, laughing together, taking turns making dumb jokes, it was great.

the best bit was when we all went back and forth mocking the general in charge of the tommys (forgot his name but if youre playing it and have seen him you know who he is), it was amazing just all laughing together and feeling the happiness radiating from everyone else as we all brutaly roasted this moron. just pure joy.

i think that was our best system experience so far, i love being part of a system and hope our communication continues to improve like this.

Hii :) need some positivity rn, what are your best memories with your system?

my castmate, getting emotional on closing night: do you ever think about how we might be in this play again... but this is still the last time we'll ever be in this production, with these people at this time? and even within that, each show is the last time we'll ever do that specific performance. even within a given unique production, there are a thousand little things that are different night to night. different performance choices, different audience, different thoughts in our heads and ways we play off each other. it's like. theatre is by its nature ephemeral and there's no way to ever go back and experience that specific version of a play ever again.

me, who's lived through the time loop of this night 300 times: y'know--

oh god dont give them ideas /lh

Bapping your host with newspapers is an effective way to stop them from spiralling!

i dont like the term host,

i mean it is what i am, but i dont like the connotations connected to it. the idea that im the "real one" or that im in charge somehow.

or maybe it just makes me think of the word "parasite" when i hear it.

either way, i think i much prefer the using the term "pilot" to desctibe my place in the system.

i think that it describes what i actually do without the same negative connotations (and also our fronting room is a literal cockpit so it fits)

This is ur reminder to appreciate ur headmates. Give them a lil kiss on the forehead. Or a pat on the head. Tell them ur proud of them. They're doing their best

some system positivity art!!

(with the lovely "the future is plural" phrase by(?) @sophieinwonderland !! [hope the @ is alright uaug])

Also while i'm here

why is it so fucking hard for people to conceptualize the human mind making multiple player characters?

You're telling me that there are whole ecosystems of microcritters that make up "me" in my body on my skin, but when the organ that hallucinates on a regular basis makes another copy of sentience it's impossible?? Where's the people studying the ecosystems of the brain?? Why tf are we gatekeeping sentience??

I AM COMPLETELY MENTALY STABLE

the voices told me so
