polytonal

we are a system--a collective existing in one body.

if you aren't familiar with plurality or systems, check out more than one for a basic primer. we won't be going into the education aspect here. this is an elaborate myspace profile because the host likes that sort of thing. it can't be helped!

faq

Q: what's your state of being like?
A: we lean on the median side of the plural spectrum, meaning we can kind of melt together a bit like a melty neopolitan ice cream cone. we still consider ourself separate and it does help us "figure it out". in general, we like and use the car metaphor: there's someone driving at front, and there's usually at least one of us in the backseat. the "core" tend to be the ones to front, while the others are more "internal helpers".

Q: how do you prefer to be addressed?
A: if you're in on this, you can address us as you would have previously. we aren't very consistent with plural pronouns ourself. when someone makes a point to explicitly make themselves known, just address them as their own person. that's really it.

Q: what's it like?
A: you're never lonely, that's for sure! we've been like this since our teen years, and formally addressed it in our early 20s. on one hand (for us), it's definitely a product of circumstances in our childhood that did some damage and causes us to dissociate and have a fragmented sense of self. that's the clinical way to look at it. on the other, funnier hand: genesis rhapsodos is real, lives in our head, smokes all our weed, and calls us a bitch. shadow the hedgehog also lives here and is a workaholic. there's also a fuzzy xerox copy of our idealized teenage self, a guardian angel that poses as a social worker, and a fluffy musician enthusiastic about the history of us road routes. a little bit of everything here!

Q: a little weird this is
A: the human experience is weird, no matter what anyone tells you. there are other plurals out there way cooler and weirder than we are. don't overthink it!

that's all we've got
